[serghei]

Can't wait for the league to begin. It will be a hard fought duel this year. We're not going to run with it this time.

Please start Arthur, Semedo, Coutinho and Dembele.

Coutinho will start for sure. Dembele maybe. Arthur and Semedo I very much doubt so.

Sport rumored starting XI includes Bobbie at RB aside from that, the Coutinho and Dembouz are in... rumors but still.

 

[serghei]

Coutinho will start for sure. Dembele maybe. Arthur and Semedo I very much doubt so.

But... why? Arthur and Semedo have been probably the best players in the preseason...

Because he's prob going to play his first choice XI and that includes Rakitic and Roberto right now it seems.

Perhaps next week.

Ter Stegen-Semedo-Pique-Umtiti-Alba-Dembele-Raki-Busquets-Coutinho-Messi-Saurez.

 

[Joan]

Will Pique even be there?

I'd like Malcom to start.

 

[Barcaman]

Important to open the campaign with a win.

And always great to see el Pitu.

 

[DonAK]

Shit timing for the opening game though. I hate these games that end around midnight.

 

[soul24rage]

Ter Stegen-Semedo-Pique-Umtiti-Alba-Dembele-Raki-Busquets-Coutinho-Messi-Saurez.

I think your lineup will be the lineup for tomorrow.

 

[PhilS]

Will Pique even be there?

I'd like Malcom to start.

Even if Pique is there, he would be jet lagged. Good game for him not to start.

Malcolm, will come on as a sub for Dembele. Arthur, too, will come in as a sub. Vidal will also get at least a few minutes in most games. Semedo, yet another supersub. I hope to see Rafinha often. Great depth this year!

 

[xXKonan]

Squad list.

Ter Stegen, N. Semedo, Piqué, I. Rakitic, Sergio, Coutinho, Arthur, Suárez, Messi, Dembélé, Rafinha , Cillessen, Malcom, Lenglet, Jordi Alba, S. Roberto, Vidal and Umtiti.

The players who didn't make the cut.

Aleñá and Denis Suárez for medical leave and Paco Alcácer, Munir, Vermaelen and Samper due to technical reasons.

 

[FCBfan22]

No Paco and Munir :O

 

[PhilS]

So, Vermaelen is not backing up Alba. Don't know if that job falls to Roberto, Lenglet or Umtitti. Have we seen Semedo play LB?
