I have never watced Sloetjes and Pietersen as MB. Were they good at that position as well
by the way will Wensink be out for ECh as well
I don't think Sloetjes ever was MB 
But as for Pietersen, I once watched her as MB in Dutch Junior NT in 2006, and I remember thinking that she was by far the best player of that Dutch team. Grothues and Schoot (as OPP 
) also were part of that team...

She played as MB in Amstelveen as well, in 2010-11, with Stoltenborg and Judith Blansjaar as setters (she had spent most of the prior season, when the other NT girls were there, recovering from her ACL surgery). From memory (which is somewhat fuzzy due to the proximity of the Emergohal bar ) she was pretty good, although it was hard to judge because the level of the Dutch league was in freefall at that point. Marieke can tell you more because she was at most of the games.

Judith was the best as MB in junior team, you're right Mattias. But after knee-injuries she played like OH, that was easier for her knee to start play volleybal again.
Caroline Wensink did the same after her leginjuries. But she returned as MB after a while.
I think Grothues is not so weak in attack. She's neither very good nor bad. I really like her and she deserves to be starter in my opinino 
by the way will Wensink be out for ECh as well

99,9 % she will be out for ECH.The same for Stam. I presume.
Of course, it is a big loss, but the young players are developing really well. 
Especially Celeste Plak..she is developing amazingly fast

Thanks to you all guys for info

Well, she is weak against strong blocks..
Well, she is weak against strong blocks..
But she is really a good receiver，in some way she is now the most important one in Dutch system！
Without her receive，Steenbergen and Kruijf will be useless...
Also i think Pietersen should back to MB（or Van Dealan），OPP is too much，Flier、Sloetjes、Moniek。。。
And i think Wensink is a big loss，her block and dig is really important！
Display MoreFor starting six 4 players are safe:
Setter: Stoltenborg
MB: De Kruijf, Steenbergen
Libero: Schoot
OH and Opp is still uncertain...
My choice would be:
OH: Buijs and Plak, Opp: Flier
But I presume Vermeulen will choose Grothues in starting six because of her reception-strenght (though she is a weak attacker).
Flier is the spirit leader
And i think Wensink is a big loss，her block and dig is really important！
I agree. Caroline is a very good blocker and in general a strong allround-player. Of course, Robin is not at Caroline's level yet, but she has improved a lot recently

How many players can be in one match？
12 or 14？
And if the number is 12，who will be out for OPP？

I don't know how many players are in roster for a WGP-match...
If it is 12, Pietersen will be out for Opp. Unless, Renkema will be out at OH and Sloetjes goes to OH-position.
So, 2 options:
1. OH: Buijs, Plak, Grothues, Renkema Opp: Flier, Sloetjes
2. OH: Buijs, Plak, Grothues, Sloetjes Opp: Flier, Pietersen
@ ned
In WGP there is a 12-roster for a match

It's like that in all tournaments again, FIVB gave up the 14 players per match change. 14 for tournament, but 12 for each match.
That kid is totally checking out Femke's kontje

So i think Knip willbe out，and one Opp will be out for each match.
