Carlos Tenorio viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4394
Holger Quiñonez viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4392

Ítalo Estupiñan viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4400
Neicer Reasco viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4393

The post is very old, so this players is, logically, missing:

Segundo Alejandro Castillo viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4391 (First Team)

OPINIONS:

Polo Carrera was not as important player for Ecuador as he is in here, I beleive his place in the first team is not even accepted, he may be in the Reserves Team.

Ivan Hurtado and Holger Quiñonez are the most common players of the first team, this is because Lecaro played in an era qualifications to the World Cup where only 3 matches. That is why Holger Quiñonez should take his place in the first team, a defender that is historical and is allways named as Bam Bam's partner.

Agustin Delgado is probably the main player in the whole team, it is totally unacceptable for me as an Ecuadorian to not see him in the first team, Spencer should be his partner as a striker.

My formation:

Cevallos; De la Cruz, Hurtado, H. Quiñonez, Capurro; Antonio, Castillo, Aguinaga, J. Bolaños (Méndez); Spencer, A. Delgado.

Updated..

Carrera Out
Castillo In

Agree, Castillo is very poor TEC/DA wise yet, green values in this areas would make him look decent enough..

If you want to put them in Stats practice, go ahead..

What others sets made by Luanld3 do you think that should get updated? Since you said "most of the sets" means that you are ok with others made by him.

Well Neicer Reasco looks very accurate to me, I saw him winning the Libertadores Cup and yes he was a little tank running by his flank and been supportive for his team.

Capurro stats's doesn't exists.

Can anybody think about these guys?

Ecuador participated to the World Cup in 2002, 2006 and 2014, having its best result in 2006 by reaching the round of 16. Regarding the Copa América, the team placed 4th in 1993. They had the same result in 1959, although in this occasion there were only five teams competing in the tournament.

My first squad isn't too different from the current one.

I think Pervis ESTUPIÑÁN can be the last defender on reserves. He is still very young, but already accomplished more than most Ecuadorian players in international play. Was chosen as the best LB in Copa America 2021 and already made at least two very good seasons with Sevilla, being champion of Europa League in 2021, and semi-finalist of Champions League in 2022.

I agree with you. I think he can already be in the reserves. Let's see if in a few years he can even be a potential choice for the first squad.
The same may happen with Piero Hincapié and Gonzalo Plata who are even younger than Estupiñán and already have a decent number or caps.

What should be clear after last WC: Best XI needs both Valencias, not just Antonio. Enner has carried his NT in a way that even his namesake didn't do and can easily replace Delgado. Gruezo and Angel Mena should be in reserves and tbh I don't see a reason why Hincapie couldn't replace Porozo in reserves..

More than valid reasons. So, Hincapie for Porozo, and Gruezo and Mena for who?

What about Moises Caicedo in reserves?

I'm not sure. It might seem too early, but it's true that he accomplished quite a lot with Ecuador despite his young age. Who would you replace?
