PROBABLE XI AND LATEST 21 OCT CALLED UP (CRITICAL CORRECTION)

OFI GK Christogeorgos IS OUT OF THE 23-MAN OFFICIAL CALLUP local OFI club statement published Wed21 Oct 20:45: & . Several SportsMole20Oct and German preview21Oct still wrongly put him goalkeeper; REJECT OLD XI. Lilo, Katsikas, Kalafatis goalkeepers in callup. Lilo replaced injured Christogeorgos at 46' in last Kalamata match, strong starter probable.

OFI flexible 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 probable: Klidman Lilo; Dimitrios Nikolaou, Achilleas Poungouras, Krešimir Krizmanić (Kostoulas alternative); Lorenzo Dickmann, Athanasios Androutsos, Andreas Bouchalakis, Nikolaos Athanasiou; Taxiarchis Fountas/Aitor Cantalapiedra, Kenan Kodro, Thiago Nuss. Alternatives Borja González instead of Dickmann/Krizmanic flank (he assisted vs Kalamata), Kostoulas CB, Karachalios/CDM, Georgios Kanellopoulos CM, Apostolakis wing, Cantalapiedra starts if Fountas not fully fit. Fountas RETURNS to squad after physical issue, not certainty starter. OUT Christogeorgos, Marinakis, Sielis, Leya Iseka, Chatzigiovannis, Lagoudakis, Chnaris. Sielis reportedly trained but excluded final squad.

Bayer forecast SportsMole 20Oct 4-2-3-1: Flekken; Quansah,Tapsoba,Medina,Gutiérrez; Andrich, Aleix García; Diaby,Maza,Moreira; Schick. But Oct21 Bundesliga/german latest indicates POSSIBLE 4-2-3-1 rotation: Mark Flekken; Lucas Vázquez/Quansah, Loïc Badé/Tapsoba, Facundo Medina, Miguel Gutiérrez; Robert Andrich/Ezequiel Fernández, Aleix García; Nathan Tella/Moussa Diaby, Malik Tillman/Ibrahim Maza, Afonso Moreira; Patrik Schick. New manager Carles Martínez, alternatives high value. Marco source (Oct21). OUT Ben Seghir, Kofane, Terrier, Doué, Eichhorn; Culbreath late test. Hofmann contradictory: SportsMole says not registered, BuLiNews21Oct reports UEFA list updated to include Hofmann as replacement for Terrier; prefer newer dated eligibility, avoid "officially out" without UEFA registration readback. Boniface/Oermann unavailable UEFA despite senior team status. Schick at least six Bundesliga goals and 2 Europa goals, leading finisher; high workloads uncertain selection no official XI.

OFI 11 role by role with hard measured individual NATIONAL-league metrics

SOURCE xgEdge Greece only 7-match sample ; numbers season TOTAL, not per90.

1 Lilo GK 1 app45 minutes, entered Kalamata after main goalkeeper injury, no reliable meaningful GK save rate n45; task: area commands, crosses, handling pressure against ~20 Bayer shots/g, clear material uncertainty.

2 Nikolaou CB 5app328min xG0.13, defensive zonal positioning and diagonal recovery vs Diaby/Tella; shots not useful metric.

3 Poungouras CB 7app495min xA0.18, marking Schick/clearances air; missing measured clearances/fouls for consistent domestic n; avoid invent rates.

4 Krizmanić CB6app482min 1assist xA.15, left/right wingback coverage, needs close Maza penetrating runs; alternate Kostoulas6app458min xG.25 xA.39 can improve ball build.

5 Dickmann RWB7app416min,1assist xG.44 xA.49 => 0.93 xGI despite defender, high crossing role, must cover speed of Moreira.

6 Androutsos CM6app385min1g xG.43 xA.32, recovery/press and support wide outside; late intro Kalamata.

7 Bouchalakis CM6app438min1g1a xG.23 xA.63, 33y technically experienced and passing/tempo important beyond resale value, challenge García midfield.

8 Athanasiou LWB7app546min1g2a xG.11 xA.57, leading player minutes, important cross and defense vs Diaby, large physical workload.

9 Fountas forward6app369min xG.62 xA.14, RETURNS, mobile depth and counter, was goal scorer vs Rennes, low nationality league goals not reason to underplay Europe.

10 Kodro ST6app360min3 goals from only xG.76 (over-finishing +2.24 in small sample) xA.46, senior at33/34 experienced aerial+link, 2-3 goals not sustainable when xG baseline .76; vs Tapsoba/Badé.

11 Thiago Nuss FW6app395min3 goals xG2.87 xA.20, critical single best OFI attacker, scored TWO at Kalamata including header, aggressive left/interior channels; battle Quansah/Medina.

Alternatives Cantalapiedra6/295 xG.33 xA.34, dribble/last pass vs Quansah; Borja González5/251 1assist xA.60, cross high impact, Kostoulas/national defense role; Kanellopoulos5/263 xG.16 xA.05, controlling second balls; Apostolakis5/202 1goal xG.34 xA.13; Christogeorgos unavailable despite 7app/585 min and 4.1 saves90 in MIXED euro source, DON'T MAKE STARTER.

Tactical source TACTIX more current than Statz squad mirror (St atz squad landing page CRAWLED 4 weeks ago and only FIRST 5 MIXED games => stale; DO NOT use as October22 complete season totals). Source recent Statz shots and SOT 10-match MIXED includes May 2026 games, list per qualify appearances by 20+min; TACTIX .

2 Quansah RCB/RB 9 qualifying mixed SOT apps=5 SOT (0.56/g), but defensive metrics not available in same 10-match extract; aerial timing/one-v-one vs Nuss, possible Lucas Vázquez veteran fullback prefers overlaps and 1v1 on winger. Vázquez ~35, competence of positioning not his resale value.

MARKET VALUES AND TECHNICAL QUALITY

TM OFI aggregate roughly €15.55m 30 players (crawl three months ago).

TM Bayer 2026/27 direct season approx €513.25m, alternate cached season club snapshot €463.95m different roster counts/date; approximate €460–515m, not one synchronized day metric. ~30-33x economic ratio but very different salary pools, prospects; old experienced Bouchalakis, Kodro, Lucas Vázquez, Andrich, Schick technique not proportional market age. Schick top value from current goals+timing not simply sticker price.

MORE THAN THREE SPECIFIC DUELS, SCENARIOS & COUNTERARGUMENTS

1 Schick vs Poungouras/Krizmanić: striker 1.5 SOT/g recent mixed, two Euro goals Lech, OFI home conceded only2 in 3 Greek matches but big opponent mismatch; aerial, first post, mistakes matter.

2 Maza/Tillman vs Bouchalakis/Androutsos: Maza9 SOT/9 mixed and playmaker 2keypasses90, Bouchalakis old but timing, can OFI screen between lines? If not OFI CB isolated.

3 Diaby/Tella vs Athanasiou: winger pace vs attacking LWB with 1goal2a in7 league, OFI forced to defend deeper.

4 Moreira vs Dickmann + Krizmanić: Moreira 6/8>=2shots, Dickmann attacking xGI.93 in7; high wingback creates dangerous open channel.

5 Kodro vs Tapsoba and Badé: Kodro 3 goals from0.76 xG and quality aerial but likely to see fewer crosses with Bayer territorial dominance; massive finishing regression risk.

6 Nuss vs Quansah/Lucas Vázquez: OFI best actual xG 2.87 and two Kalamata goals, winger carries OFI counter; Bayer away already conceded8 in3 Bundesliga, making 1-2/1-3 realistic.

7 Fountas vs Medina/Gutiérrez: returned Fountas scored Rennes, quick transition and defensive recovery.

8 García/Andrich vs Bouchalakis & Kanellopoulos: dominate 2nd balls, if OFI forced to hoof Bayer rebuild attack repeatedly.

Game states 0-0 30min -> Greek compact and Leverkusen need patient cross, favors 0-2/0-1 rather than 0-4; Bayer scores early -> Greek pursuit and 0-3/1-3 4+ branch; OFI scores first on counter -> Bayer xG volume and score1-2/1-3, defensive away fragility real; OFI win Hoffenheim home and 2 home national clean sheets disprove invincibility of German favorite. Change goalie to Lilo only 45min league data makes home shutout history less transferable.

RISULTATI ESATTI V4

Primary 0-2 Bayer (most coherent with OFI low domestic xG, Bayer two Euro clean sheets), alt1 1-2 Bayer (away Bayer1.75xGA Bundesliga, Nuss/Kodro), alt2 0-3 Bayer (depth/early goal), additional 4+ scenario 1-3 / 0-4; 4+ not central, no numeric score P made up, 3+ Bayer selection must withstand 0-2 primary vs old draft.
