Team v Port Vale?


No point risking Xhaka against Port Vale
Should be able to coast past them and leave him on the bench surely?


Rigg has to start for me too and possibly rest Le Fee ?
Ballard Xhaka and Enzo are on a yellow too btw and they would be desperately needed in any QF?
ellborg
Gertruida Onein Alderette Cirkin/Jones
Diarra Rigg aleksic
Angulo Isidor Talbi

Subs; Ballard, Xhaka, Le Fee, Mayenda

Makes a lot more sense imo

I think some minor tweaks as above - all about getting through and game management for those who are returning from injury, and keeping those fresh ready for the week after.

Rest for the likes of;
Hume
Xhaka
Sadiki
Angulo
Mayenda

Hopeful of returns in 2-3 weeks for;
Cirkin
Reinildo
Mukiele
Brobbey
 
Surely there's no way Isidor starts. He looked tired after 10 minutes yesterday.

I wouldn't risk Xhaka - not on that pitch against L1 players. And I think Ballard will want to play, yellow card or not.

Modifying the OP's team slightly:

...................Ellborg................
Geertruida.Ballard.Alderete.O'9
.......Diarra....Le Fee.....Rigg
Angulo........Mayenda.......Talbi
 
Desperate for us to go through but I'd be very wary of that pitch. Not a lot of options to rotate due to injuries and suspensions though, we either dip into the u21s or it's going to have to be full strength.
