You think Barca should rest players v Sevilla and also Leganes the following Saturday?

Must rest:
Busi(injured, so might not even play first leg), Iniesta (we need to get him back to 100%), Roberto (small injury apparently or knock?), Pique (playing with injured knee).
Those are my must rests before Roma games, especially vs Sevilla I wouldn't play those guys. It's a risk, but we have good situation going in LaLiga.
Hopefully Semedo, Vermaelen could play vs Sevilla instead of Roberto and Pique.

I don't think resting Messi is as important as we think. He can walk most of the game and then finish it with few moves.
Everyone needs a good mental break sometimes, though.

I'd also rest Messi on top of that.

You just said you'd maybe rest more than half a team.
Iniesta, Busi, and Pique would do. Like the key players in each compartment almost and the ones who have been showing signs of discomfort lately.

Leganes at home before Roma away on tuesday? Abso-fucking-lutely. More than half a team. Unless we beat Roma 3-0 at home or smth.

No, I said I would rest Pique in the unlikely case that Vermaelen is healthy after international break, Seville away ins't a game for Mina.
Iniesta I would rest if he plays, and Busquets if healthy MUST play. Others only if NT coach decided to go full retard and play them 120+ in international duty. That isn't half of the team by any mean, that would be a player or two depending on our injuries

Seems like no game is for Mina except friendlies. He's played against better teams than Sevilla in his career and did it fine. I think it's time to trust him more. Played pretty well vs Getafe and was probably the best on the pitch vs Espanyol.

Overkill resting too many players in both those games.
Try to beat Sevilla away with decent team then rest some vs Leganes.

We would still have a more than decent team with 3 main players rested.

Can you name them? Because I can't think there is better club in SA that is better than Seville specially in their home.
NT? Ok you made me put some work here, I can't find a list of his 9 caps but googled through games he played in any of last 2 Copa's and world cup qualifications
Games with NT:
Game in Copa America 2016 against Costa Rica
Game in WC qualifications VS Ecuador (A)
VS Bolivia (H)
VS Chile (H)
VS Uruguay (H)
VS Paraguay (H)
That is 6 out of 9 games he played with NT, I know he played against Cameroon too.
I won't rate any of those tougher than Seville, and 4 of them were at home with team he knew more and was part of it for some time than Barca.
Getafe didn't attack, and way easier, I am hopeful he will make it here but I don't think that getting his second start here in such game is good idea, he makes a mistake to get our first loss in the season and it will be hell breaking lose for him.

Sevilla ain't nothing special in La Liga this season. Atletico and Betis scored 5 against them. And they will be playing vs Bayern on tuesday. Don't you think you're making the game a little harder than it is? I'm sure Mina would handle it well if he'd play.
Sevilla lost vs Atletico, lost vs Betis, lost vs Valencia. Received 12 goals at home in these games vs teams of even lower quality than us.
