While I agree that Oliveira is still far from a finished product, he should still be given a chance to start in one of the upcoming friendlies. Against Poland, he was used as a winger in the final ten minutes of the game. Bento should start him in our friendly with Macedonia alongside Ronaldo, Nani, and Moutinho to see what he has to offer.
Postiga may not be a top-class striker, but his style of play best suits Bento's system. He works hard off the ball and links up very well with Ronaldo and Nani. Almeida offers some physicality, but he's way too wasteful to start. Oliveira, in my opinion, is best suited for a counter-attacking style.
After watching him this season, I'd say that his best attributes are his runs off the ball. The guy's blessed with speed and he uses this to great effect when making runs into space. He isn't perfect, but he'll give us something very different off the bench.
