I think the onus is on picking someone who is going to be foremost defensively sound. The Olympics is going to be big stadiums, big crowds. It's a time for cool heads, and as much big game experience as you can find. Especially the French game at the sold out, very loud 67,000 Marseille Velodrome will be very intimidating, and tough.

It's no place to start a very raw kid like Sheridan, who's never played in front of more than 10,000 I'm guessing in the very low key by comparison ALM. He could just freeze on the day. At the moment he's basically a very promising Central League player.

You have the now very experienced Libby on the left, and that side will be the team's main attacking flank. That's fine. But you need to make sure the right side is not an obvious weak link, for other teams to exploit.
