It'd be a tossup between Rupp/McLean wouldn't it?

A midfield three of PLM/McLean/Gilmour looks most likely - be interesting to see which one Normann comes in for.

As I mentioned before, I'm not sure that Gilmour should be a nailed on starter (or Kabak, or Williams). I can see them both playing an important squad role and could play themselves into starting berths, but, for example has Gilmour really shown more than PLM? (I think his experience is going to be important for us this year)
