Midfield options are plenty now and there should be no problem starting Pedri and subbing him off.

Raphinha might be fatigued from games in South America so he could start on the bench. Not sure who would start at LW though. Ansu?

Tek
Kounde, Cuba, Inigo, Balde
Casado, Eric
Yamal, Pedri, Ansu
Lewy

Sub on Fort, Olmo, Fermin, Raphinha. Quality will be same or even better. Then Gavi or Frenkie.

Good thing that many of our players didn't play the last game but bad news that Yamal and Lewa aren't totally healhty.

Szcz
Kounde Cubarsi Inigo Balde
Casado Eric
Rapha Pedri Ansu
Victor

You can also switch position of Ansu and Victor, hard to tell who is better where.

We'll have the strongest bench yet under Flick, at least if you only look at the names and not their condition. Lewa, Yamal, Gavi, FDJ, Fermin and Olmo could all get minutes in the 2nd half.

It's time to throw Ansu into the heat. Raphinha long travel and Yamal discomfort with big games coming up, there is no better time for Ansu to start. Add to it we play mid-table Sevilla at home. Perfect circumstances for Ansu really.

I would however still start 2 of the regular 3 in attack. 2 bench players (like Ansu + Pau) would drop the level too much.

But 2 of the 3 regular attackers are semi injured, I wouldn't risk with that and we can always send them in in the second half. I would even rest Raphinha but there is no one to play instead of him.

I think all three are fine. Not sure if Raphinha's fatigue or Yamal's small discomfort is the worst, up to Flick to decide.

Lewy I think is 99% fit.

Maybe but we have to keep in mind the week after this match, I would rest at least 2 of them. If Ansu and Victor can't play ok for 60 minutes against this Sevilla at home then they shouldn't be in the squad.
