Field the 2nd team + reserves. Rest as many as possible for the league. This is going to be boring as fuck.

Am thinking this may be a good time to try the 3-5-2 and use some of the less used players to keep the first XI fresh for Cagliari. It is also a good time to give some of the youth players some minutes and try Calabria at RCB as someone posted in one of the other threads.

Silva Kalinic
Montolivo Mauri Zanellato (or Kessie for one half)
Antonelli Gabbia (Romagnoli 30 mins if ready) Zapata Calabria Abate
A.Donnarumma/Storari



Which means against Cagliari:

Borini Cutrone Suso
Calhanoglu Locatelli Kessie
Rodriguez Musacchio Bonucci Conti
G.Donnarumma

Can't believe that Borini is still in our starting XI though, even if it is because Bonaventura is out..Hope Draxler, Forsberg or any top LW comes in the closing days of mercato..

well as all of you said this is a game where we should give the chance to players without many minutes in their legs to play.
it would make sense to rest conti as every game he gets subbed this will be the perfect match to rest him. same goes for kessie and suso as well.

Rest Kessie, Suso, Conti and maybe Hakan if he's not fully ready.

Is Kalinic available for this?

Would be a good game to get him on the score sheet, also more fitness for Silva and anyone else who is lacking.

Give Abate the start, Gomez or Zapata or both, same for Anto on the left.

Montolivo and borini loving life right now.

Hopefully another good clean result.

Way too early in the season to be resting players. These are professional athletes and can easily play 2 games a week. In fact, it would be better for their form. The best players in the world do their best to never skip a game.

Kalinic and Silva should get 60 mins at least. Also need to give Bonucci and Musacchio some time to form a partnership.

Scratch that, Kalinic hasn't been registered yet has he.

Another 90 minutes for Montolivo would be good actually. He will have to play a role over the season and if he can perform like in the first leg, that would be very good. An in-form Monto is far better than Locatelli as the backup regista.

Monto, Andre Silva, Abate, Antonelli need to start.
