3 questions for my 'Stoke block' team

Sorenson or Begovic - I'm leaning towards Sorenson's experience being the key factor, but expect Begovic to take over and claim the jersey at some stage this seasonExactly what I think Soro is a good keeper but like many Euro keepers "spills" the ball , like against Liverpool , when he should push the ball away. Once Soro makes a couple of mistakeS Bego will be in. Might be a wake up call for Soro ?

Higginbotham or Collins or Wilkinson - I think Huth & Shawcross are nailed on starters & expect Ab. Faye to start most games. Not sure who will fill the 4th spot though. Quite surprised that Higginbotham is the most expensive Stoke defender in TFF (3.7m)

Also any are there any TFF listed Stoke defenders who might play in midfield ?
Chance of Whitehead playing at RB

These are the Stoke players listed

Higginbotham 3.7 Lost LB slot to Collins but regained it (wasnt hard). Also competent penalty taker
Shawcross 3.5 1st Choice C/B
Huth 3.5 Will play either RB or C/B
Ab. Faye 3.4 Pulis likes him but seems to be always struggling with injury May play in the big games as an old head
Collins 3.3 2nd Left Back , hope he isnt even that
Wilkinson 3.3 Will get games, better full back than Huth, crowd favourite
Dickinson 2.6 On Loan
Davies 2.6 Who ?? On trying to loan/Sell)

jones or ethrington takes stokes penalties, or somebody else??
