I think Araujo and Garcia drop to the bench for this one for rotation purposes.

Roberto-Kounde-Christensen-Balde

FDJ-Busi-Pedri

Ralph-Lewa-Dembele

I'd go with

MATS; Roberto, Araujo, Kounde, Balde, Kessie, Pjanić, Pedri, Raphinha, Lewy, Ansu

Need to start giving bench players minutes.

Kounde

He'll need to adapt playing as LCB eventually if paired with Araujo who is worse technically and would have bigger problems doing that imo.

Then, I expect this line up:

-------------Stegen-
Roberto-Araujo-Kounde-Balde
-------------Busi
--------FDJ------Pedri
-Raph-----Lewy-----Dembouz

Although, I would play Kessie instead of FDJ, and Ansu instead of Raph

I would go with your expected lineup but have Dest in place of Roberto

We shouldn't have fixed starting 11 this season imo.

Only 4 players who should start most games (if healthy) are Araujo, Kounde, Pedri and Lewy. There should be a competition for all other spots.

But of course MATS will also always start as he's our only GK (Pena shouldn't be anything more than a 3rd goalie) and so will Busi because Xavi loves his amigo unfortunately.

On the contrary, with the CL draw we had, I'd work on solidifying a clear starting formula, and build chemistry fast.

Only position where I would change more often is Dembele/Raphinha.

Ansu on the left with Ferran sub, and Lewa striker. Then Gavi sub and De Jong starter, considering Busi will probably play unless he fucks it up completely.

Need to form a starting CB as well I think, and decide on fullbacks fast.
