Time to rest players Ernesto. Please.

 

[Luftstalag14]

I really hope Mina will start.

Rotate as much as possible.

 

[Joan]

Home match? Rest. But Messi should get some time, like 20-30 minutes for match fitness.

 

[FCBfan22]

Both Pique and Umtiti need rest and Busi is unavailible. I would go with:

--------------Ter Stegen---------------
Semedo---Mina----Vermaelen---Alba
----------------Rakitić------------------
------Roberto-----------Denis---------
--------------- -Messi------------------
Dembele------Own Goal-----Coutinho

Do the work early and sub Messi for Suarez in 60th minute. Denis deserves a start, since he has been quite good in last two matches.

Sergio Busquets did not train with the group today and will not play against Leganés at the weekend. [md]

 

[serghei]

Mina, Dembele, Vermaelen, Coutinho, Alcacer, Digne (if fit), Semedo and Denis Suarez to start. Rest the whole team. I'd like to see Roberto in midfield again.

Under no circumstances start Pique, Iniesta and Messi.

You forgot

 

[Horatio]

Valverde will field strongest 11 =)

 

[hardyboy]

November 18??

 

[serghei]

You forgot

Him too. Leganes has nothing to play for and are a pretty poor team anyway.

 

[Horatio]

November 18??

 

[jairzinho]

Stegen -- Semedo -- Mina -- Umtiti -- Alba -- Roberto -- Rakitic -- Busi -- Coutinho -- Saurez -- Dembele

 

[SKS-]

Would really like to see Pique and Iniesta rested and Mina and Denis to get some time.

However, with the Roma tie all but over, its possible (albeit not that smart) that Ernesto tries to go with a strong 11 with limited rotations to chase the undefeated season.

 

[PhilS]

This is the game for Coutinho, Paulinho, Vermaelen and Dembele. Cillessen needs at least one start before the Copa final. Continue to rotate for the match in Rome next Tuesday, 3 games in 6 days are too close together to start any player for all three (except maybe Messi). Who can sub for Alba?

 

[Antimadridista1]

Must win because Atleti plays at the Bernabeu but still, I wouldn't take any risk regarding Leo's injury.
Physically the team looked didn't look in great shape yesterday. The likes of Busquets, Pique, Iniesta, Rakitic, Suarez and Messi shouldn't play (or very little time for Suarez and Rakitic)

Semedo - Vermaelen - Umtiti - Alba
Roberto - Gomes - Paulinho/Denis
Dembele - Alcacer - Coutinho

We shouldn't forget that Rakitic and Suarez have been playing a LOT recently, mainly during international games.
They deserve a rest.
