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.

it isnt just about rest ,we need to prevent injurys so we should play this

I hope we don't start Roma here, keep him on the bench and perhaps let him play 25 mins to find his bearings a bit. No point risking full 90 mins against a team we've already kicked out.

I'd agree if it wasn't against a Serie C team that we have a 6:0 lead on aggregate. This is perfect for experimentation and resting. Give players that haven't played to much some time on the pitch to get their fitness up.

Wow we have signed Jaqen H'ghar and given him #57. Fassone lied to us when he said mercato chiuso guys.

For a second string team with only 4 actual starters thats pretty good. Last year we'd be stoked with a team like that haha

That looks very interesting

I'll be missing the game, does anyone know where I re watch the full match?

Biglia, Kessie, Haka, Bona, Monto, Loca

Haka and Bona can play LW too, so we have formation flexibility: 352, 343, 3421, 433, 4321

We can play a lot of formations with this team, depending if everybody's fit or not. And we have the winter mercato as well if things go very bad.
We will badly need another defender if Pallet and Gomez are leaving...

I'm excited to see Bonucci affect on Romans growth, Mussachio is great as well would like to see Roman become world class

We have no sub for Kessie.
3 of that 6 players cover the regista role.
I mean, if Bona is playing upfront we have no depth at all left to cover the side CMs - we would need to change the attack or hope Montolivo find energy to play there

Yea we are a couple players short. A winger and a Kessie backup. Ideally it would be 2 wingers and a Kessie sub. But I think we can get by with just 1 winger and a vice Kessie until January
