However, there will likely be up to three changes in the lineup. Umtiti, Griezmann and Vidal/Arthur are all expected to start tonight.

de Jong
Arthur - Vidal

ter Stegen
Semedo - Umtiti - Lenglet - Alba
de Jong
Arthur - Vidal
Messi - Griezmann - Ansu​

It seems like we're never seeing this line-up which is imo the best we could field atm.

I like this a lot. Hope we get it but seems hard to drop busi from DM. He isn't doing bad lately but will hinder Fdj and will prove a liability against strong teams.

Some rotations. Roberto as RW again. Semedo seems to have the edge as RB. No Arthur still, but Vidal is back. No Rakitic. No Alba.

So it's going to be

MATS---Semedo, Umiti, Lenglet, Junior---DJ, Busi, Vidal---Bob, Messi, Griezmann.

Should have started Fati instead of Bob imo

Also, people need to understand that with the squad so trimmed out, we need to count on everybody, and I mean everybody. Roberto, Rakitic, these guys are suddenly very valuable thanks to the circumstances we find ourselves in.

I suppose we'll try with 4-4-2.

Nah, 4-3-3 on paper. Roberto right winger. There is no 4-4-2 for us except in defensive transition at times. Fullbacks push up, so it's a 2-5-3 basically in build-up, or a 3-4-3 when Busi drops between the CBs in buildup.
