Goalkeeper: Patiwat Khamai (34 years old)
In the next qualifying round, Patiwat will be 34 years old, which is the normal age for the last defender position. And if he can maintain his own standards including continuing to develop skills. I guarantee that no matter what happens, our top War Elephants picks will be preserved for a long time.
Right-back: Nicholas Mickelson (29 years old)
At 24 years old and in fine form, Mickelson is likely to take over the right-back role for the long term, joining the likes of Waris Chuthong, Soksane Bonta and James Beresford. He's a candidate worth keeping an eye on.
Midfield: Songwut Krakruan (28 years old)
There are several promising players in this position, starting with Channapat Puaphan, Songchai Thongcham and Jakravong Saenmahong, who could go far. But the most interesting person is Songot from Muangthong United, who is doing well. He will even be selected to play for Proud Kirin mostly in the 2023-24 season.
Midfield: Jonathan Khimde (27 years old)
No one can deny the Danish defender's versatility, as he has all the qualities to become an elite centre-back. Whether it's power, aggression, strong tackles and still being able to read the game sharply. If you constantly improve yourself anyway, this guy will definitely be booked as a starter for the national team.
Left-back: Chatmongkul Ruangthanarog (27 years old)
When the era of Terathorn Boonmathan ends, the Thai national team will likely look for players on the left side, in fact, there are several interesting players in this position, starting with General Manikorn Jensen and Sarala, including Kevin Diromram. Which will be 31 at the time, but if Chatmongkul's body is fully fit and he gets back into the groove. He should be the first choice to replace the former 2019 J-League champion as well.
Midfielder: Thanawat Swingjitthorn (29 years old)
The War Elephants have no shortage of outstanding midfielders, and Thanawat is certainly one of them. Currently, he may not be on the national team roster. But when will this guy be fit? I guarantee that no matter what, I will keep the real one forever. Because of the smart play as well as the fastball speed. This will make the centerline panel have a smooth flow that is completely pleasing to the eye.
Midfielder: Khokna Khamyuk (25 years old)
It's another difficult situation to choose. Because there are many talented players. Everyone is different. Look deeply into their radiance. I have to admit, Kokna shines in the Thunderdome and I can believe this guy can improve a lot. Even moving to live abroad.
Attacking midfielder: Chanarong Promsreikayo (28 years old)
There are many players in this position as well, such as Ekanit Panya, Borachit Thodsanit, Thanakrit Chotmuangpak and perhaps Chanathip Songkrasin who will be 35 years old until 2029, but the player who is perhaps the most mature is definitely Chanarong, with his maturity and maturity. His ability to improve every day, especially his ferocious football sense that can change a game in the blink of an eye.
Right forward: Erawan Garnier (23 years old)
This is another difficult position to choose. Because there are always youngsters who are ready to join the national team, such as Anan Yudsangwan, Siam Yap, Warakorn Thongbai, Jerapong Phuengwirawong and Sophanath Muinta, who can also stand on the right side. But if anyone had seen Erawan's form at the U-23 AFC Championship they might have shouted in unison that whatever happens, he should definitely be first choice. But we must hope that he is not called up to the French national team. The large group goes first.
Striker: Sovanath Moyanta (26 years old)
By then, Sovanat will have turned 26, which is considered the prime age for a striker. But there is a condition that he must be able to play regularly at club level. Because if there are still a few minutes at OH Leuven as is the case at present there is hope that the development of footwork will not go far. This position also carries the names of Supachai Jeded, Pramit Aguilai, Terasak Pipimai and Yusakorn Burava in net, as well as Tottenham striker Jude Bell who is also of Thai descent.
Left striker: Sobachuk Sarachat (31 years old)
Although by then Sobachuk will be 31 years old in body and mind anyway, he will certainly be one of the strikers of the Thai national team. The speed issue will likely be reduced somewhat. But what replaces it is experience with decisive moments that can decide the fate of a match in one fell swoop.
