Iniesta and Pique should be pulling out the Spain squad.

Let's hope he gets his head straight after all and does it. Would be fecking black comedy for Iniesta to play for the NT then play Sevilla, and 3-4 days after play Roma.
Sevilla will rest many of their starters. We should rest 3 + Iniesta+Busi

Not sure they really have many stars or will rest any.
They will not have all that many on intl duty and will still want to get european football next season.

We are in an incredible position right now. The league is pretty much done and dusted now and the Copa Final should also be before the start of the CL semis (assuming we beat Roma).
It's time to move all our eggs into the CL basket. He needs find a way to keep the team fresh and fit for the CL semis (again, this is assuming we beat Roma).
We haven't seen it much from him this season, but for all his "pragmatism" it's time for him to make some pragmatic rotations that will lead us into the business end of the Champions League firing on all cylinders.
I would still consider us underdogs against City or Bayern, but we still have a very good shot.
Yes, I'm not the biggest Valverde fan before anybody tries to say I'm flip flopping, but we're in a position right now where the treble is actually attainable (relatively easy CL QF draw, 11 point league lead, Copa final), so I hope to see EV get the team in top shape for the last month or two of the season. We have another gear to us we haven't seen so far and we're going to need it to win the CL.
I didn't think we would get this far, but the treble dream is officially on now and with the right managerial decisions we can win it.

He has rotated quite a bit throughout the season so far and I think players in general look much fresher than have in March/April in the past.
That could yet change just have to wait and see.

tbh I don't see many games for rotations. we were far ahead same time in 2016 and we will want to avoid such setback too. Would say that Leganes,Celta & Depor games are best for rotations.

He won't rest enough core players before the CL semis if we get past Roma, he is Ernesto Valverde afterall.

We could even afford to rest more given our confortable lead, imo but that is surely not what EV thinks and we'll see that pretty soon.

Sevilla away is probably the most difficult game for us after el clasico, so no rotations there.
