So will it be Koiki (the obvious option), or will it be a total curve ball that nobody has spoken about?

Unless the hands aren't the players it's not Koiki

People are weird (I don't mean on here, in the general footballing world) about having two left footed centre halves. If you look at the history of teams, ours and those all over the world it's really common to have two right footed centre halves, and no-one cares. Vidic and Ferdinand, Terry and Carvalho, Toure and Campbell, Hummel and Boateng, Puyol and Pique. All right footers. Bowyer very specifically likes to have a right and left footer at the back, and there tends to be much more of a fear of having two lefties across football. It's strange

Thats because if you're a leftie, you never play in the right whereas righties will have experience of playing on the left.  On Famewo, he looked very comfortable on his right foot tbf

That makes sense. As right footers are so much more common, they're more used to playing on the "wrong" side, where left footers are less likely to have to play as right CB

Similarly I imagine that right footers playing at LB are far more common than left footers playing at RB

Anthony Barness, Mark Bowen and Harry Cripps were all right footed left backs.

Phil Neville was a right footed left back for England...

Struggling to think of left footed right backs

Dennis Irwin was right footed, I think. 

He was right footed as evidenced by the fact that he took all his penalties with that foot as well as free kicks. He started at right back too but, to be fair, unlike a lot of modern day footballers, you wouldn't know that he wasn't predominantly left footed if you saw him using it.

Phillip Lahm is another right footer who was equally comfortable playing at left back
