I think, this is a very reasonable list. For obvious reasons CQ is calling those whom he knew from before as he wants to see their condition and as for the rest, those represent more or less the best performers in the current domestic league which I am sure those who have been following it can attest to it;
GK Alireza Beiranvand (age 29)
GK Hossein Hosseini (age 30) --> low chance of making the final cut
GK Payam Niazmand (age 27)
DF Ramin Rezaeian (age 32) --> at 32 and considering his record of past few years, he will have low chance of making the final cut
DF Morteza Pouraliganji (age 30) --> at 30 and his recent gaps, he would have a low chance of making the final cut
DF Omid Noorafkan (age 25)
DF Saleh Hardani (age 23) --> low chance of making the final cut
DF Aref Aghasi (age 25) --> He is one of the best league has produced - CQ will pick him
DF Abolfazl Jalali (age 24) --> very low chance of making the final cut
DF Mehdi Shiri (age 31) --> very low chance of making the final cut
DF Armin Sohrabian (age 27) --> low chance of making the final cut
DF Saman Fallah (age 21) --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Mehdi Torabi (age 28) --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Milad Sarlak (age 27) --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Mehdi Mehdipour (age 28) --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Mehdi Hosseini (age 28) --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Saeid Sadeghi (age 28) --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Reza Asadi (age 26) --> very low chance of making the final cut
MF Mohammad Karimi (age 26) --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Mohammad Khodabandelou (age 23) - --> low chance of making the final cut
MF Yasin Salmani (age 20) --> He is needed
FW Mehdi Ghayedi (age 23) --> Not sure!
FW Mohammad Mohebi (age 23) --> Not sure!
FW Shahriyar Moghanlou (age 27) --> low chance of making the final cut
A few who have left out;
MF Vahid Amiri (age 34) --> too old and injured
And those who play their trades outside of Iran;
GK Amir Abedzadeh (age 29)
DF Ehsan Hajsafi (age 32)
DF Sadegh Moharrami (age 26)
DF Majid Hosseini (age 26)
DF Milad Mohammadi (age 28) --> low chance of making the final cut
DF Hossein Kanaanizadegan (age 28)
DF Shojae Khalilzadeh (age 33)
MF Alireza Jahanbakhsh (age 29)
MF Omid Ebrahimi (age 34) --> he is good, but at 34 against England, Wales and USA what can we expect?
MF Saeid Ezatolahi (age 25)
MF Ali Gholizadeh (age 26)
MF Ahmad Nourollahi (age 29)
MF Amirhossein Hosseinzadeh (age 21)
MF Saman Ghoddos (age 29)
FW Sardar Azmoun (age 27)
FW Mehdi Taremi (age 30)
FW Allahyar Sayyadmanesh (age 21) --> keeping figures crossed for this guy!
FW Ali Alipour (age 26) --> low chance of making the final cut
FW Karim Ansarifard (age 32) --> he has done his service. At 32 won't be able to contribute much at WC.
FW Shahab Zahedi (age 27) --> He could come handy should one of our strikers get Red or injured.
Overall, that is what we have and CQ will need to find his gems among these players.
