Obviously the 11 is going to alter through the year with injuries and suspensions and form but that should be the basis of it.
Darren Randolph: The goalkeeper will be 31 by the time the next competitive game comes around in September.
Seamus Coleman: The captain will still be 29.
Shane Duffy: The Derry man will be 26.
Ciaran Clark: He turned 28 in September.
Robbie Brady: He'll be 26 and we could probably do with two outstanding full backs again.
James McCarthy: If he ever gets fit again, he's only just turned 27 a few days ago.
David Meyler: He'll be 29.
Callum O'Dowda: He'll just be 23.
Wes Hoolahan: At 36 come September, he might not be fit for back-to-back 90 minutes but he's still, by far, our best option in that position.
James McClean: Coming 29 in April.
Sean Maguire: By the next competitive match, he'll just be 24 and this is one area where Ireland really need to invest long-term because, since Keane, we've been shorn of natural strikers.
