Flamini probably won't start, but will feature, and I think Nesta will play. Somehow I don't see Seedorf in the lineup, and certainly not Bonera 
My Lineup ( although it's early)
---------Ibrahimovic--------Pato---------------
--------------------------------------------------
----------------Robinho/Cassano---------------
----Strasser----------------------Gattuso-------
--------------------Ambrosini--------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Antonini-----T.Silva------Nesta------Abate-----
---------------------------------------------------

* Once Cassano becomes fit, I think he will take over ACM for the rest of this year, then we will buy Ganso/Lamela or someone else in the Summer 2011. For now, Cassano/Robinho/Boateng/Seedorf will share that position, although I don't think anyone really wants to see Seedorf anymore. My opinion is that Cassano will eventually occupy that role in Serie A.
* We have plenty of strong Defensive Midfielders, so ACM and LB are the two priorities looking at this lineup. Also, getting rid of Bonera, one of Sokratis/Yepes, and Onyewu for hopefully D. Luiz and Astori would also be nice. I really don't see Bonera starting at CB anymore.
* We're all set in attack as all 4 strikers are currently healthy (besides Inzaghi)

Robinho on for the first 60 minutes. Cassano to get a run-out for the last 30.
Given our current squad, I get the feeling we could have Robinho moved up to SS if either Ibra or Pato are having an off day in that case, the treat we have with Cassano as an ACM backup right now is that we can take off whoever isn't really playing well without a drop in quality, something that we've seriously lacked since Sheva and Kaka moved on (like 5 years ago) .
With Nesta back, I can see us playing Abate and Antonini exclusively to bomb forward without fear. With Flams back, we have a more dynamic midfield with a bit more bite in defense and unpredicability in attack (should they decide to bomb forward).
Thank god our injury woes are easing up, and so quickly too. This month is the month of "easy teams" and with it, a lot of potential banana skins. If we can manage well, we could end up way ahead of the chasing pack. If not, then we'll end up messing up what we've worked so hard in the first half of the season to build.
