Olmo can be moved to LW and then Raphinha either rest or RW to rest Yamal for rotations, then could have more of the CMs at the same time while keeping high level in attack (no Ferran/Ansu/Pau).

To get best balance in biggest games however, Casado, Pedri and Olmo is the way to go.

Honestly if we are to include Gavi and Frenkie in conversations about XIs they gotta show it they deserve it first. The 3 that are currently given are fitting the tactic seamlessly and they are delivering. Just because Gavi and Frenkie are big names doesn't mean they get a free starting spot. It's how it is when you're injured and somebody else steps in. Gotta fight back.

Experience, sheer quality, and reliability he brings will be invaluable under pressure.

Think he improves the team a lot.

I see him more as a Seydou Keita player. Bring him on to kill games. Or for height and muscle when needed. On the other hand, I'm happy to see if he can fit in Flick's system. Personally, I doubt it. He's always been relatively brain dead in terms of quick thinking and teamplay.

You're right, that's why I'm not thrilled he's on 25M. I think he's alright, on tops 10M - but he'll never accept that after the inflated crazy wage he got, so we be better of selling him next summer. He still has some time to prove himself in Flick's system, but he still needs to go down in wage for us to keep him.

Compared to de la Fuente definitely, who talked about that NT games only amount to 3% of a footballers load... to argue when they break it's not on him I guess :lol:
