After yesterday's result, I don't think EV is going to take any risk with this game even if Leganes is at the bottom of the table. He's probably going to go for his strongest side.

Mats---Bob, Pique, Umtiti, Alba---Busi, Rakitic, Coutinho---Messi, Suarez, Dembele

Hopefully we win and put the pressure on Real

Saturday 26th? So is it on Wednesday?

Worth repeating here.

Juan Miranda withdrew from the U-19 Spanish squad to train with the first team to be available for selection for the first team. Looks like he will be in the squad for Wednesday and possibly playing as well.

 

[PhilS]

This would be the game to rest Alba. Also, rest either Suarez or Messi.

Oops.

Fixed!

 

[Cebela]

I would like to see some rotations, give guys a chance.

Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Miranda; Vidal, Arthur, Coutinho; Dembele, Messi, Munir.

Malcom, D. Suarez and Vermaelen subs if they are all healthy...would put Arthur next to Coutinho so its not up to him to lead our midfield as he is not prepared. Vidal would be classic b2b midfielder, Arthur would be more of a linkage between defence and midfield. We dont have another player like Sergio so we shouldnt force them to be...Leganes should be a team to try some new things against...Madrid will lose points in next 2 round, we can get some advantage before classico

Not a chance that will happen after the weekend result. Unfortunately I can see less rotation happening all season because of that result even though it was mostly down to the langlet sending off

Hoping Malcom gets some minutes finally. Also Alba needs some rest.

Alba's probably gonna rest in the international friendlies since Lucho won't call him up

 

[Andresito]

Busquets should rest. Vidal or Arthur should start again with Rakitic as DM.
Munir and Malcom should get some minutes as well.

 

[FCBfan22]

Busquets should rest. Vidal or Arthur should start again with Rakitic as DM.
Munir and Malcom should get some minutes as well.

Yes. I would go with:

---------------MATS--------------
Semedo--Pique--Umtiti--Roberto
--------------Rakitić--------------
------Arthur--------Coutinho-----
Messi-------Suarez------Dembele

Subs:
Arthur -> Vidal
Suarez -> Malcom
Roberto/Semedo -> Miranda (If we are comfortable)

 

[Joan]

Roberto Pique Vermaelen Miranda
Vidal Rakitic Couts
Malcom Messi Munir

 

[ronniecro]

Roberto Pique Vermaelen Miranda
Vidal Rakitic Couts
Malcom Messi Munir

valverde wouldn't make that squad even for closed training match

 

[PhilS]

Valverde will not rest any of his regulars two games in a row.

Mats
Roberto Umtitti Vermaelen Miranda
Rakitic Busquets Arthur
Coutinho Messi Dembele

Vidal could start again, instead of Arthur or Busquets.

If he ever does rest either Messi or Suarez, they would enter early as subs if things did not go well.
