Iniesta-Messi-Coutinho at the same time on the pitch. My wet dreams are coming true.

This. Very bumped for this game.

All we need is Busquets in there so BBZ8800 can weep. Lol.

Iniesta to the left of Messi and Coutinho to the right me thinks if it’s 4-2-3-1 or Coutinho as RW if it’s 4-3-3 with Iniesta in his usual slot.

We have two hardworkers in midfield, Rakitic and Paulinho.
Ernesto is always about balance.

Only two Spaniards in our line-up tonight. Not something I’ve seen for a while.

I agree, + we are playing vs Alaves not RM of Chelsea.... ok to try variations

Lol. Knew I’d get you to pop up after that post.

Anyway, good luck.

Iniesta Coutinho and Messi.

I was going to record this and watch it tomorrow as it's a 1:15 AM kickoff, but there's no way I can sleep without seeing what that can do on the pitch. Looks like I'm going to have to book the conference room for a post lunch "meeting" tomorrow

Busi and Alba are rested, only Leo and Iniesta have been amongst the most frequent ones this season! Iniesta gonna be subbed by hour mark anyway

Like the line up. Can't wait to see how Coutinho does on his league debut for us. Excited for the match.

Other than the ones who have been rested.....

What do you mean? The most influential are the ones who should be rested against Alavés for a League game.

Rak never rests, ironman.

Some rotation, Busquets, S. Roberto and Alba get to rest. That's a long enough rotation list for a Liga game. I hope S. Roberto comes in for either Rak or Iniesta, I'd like to see S. Roberto play midfield with the top group.

I do hope that someday, against a weaker opponent, we see either Messi or Suarez not start. I think Coutinho is the substitute for either one. Coutinho has done some excellent work at forward for the Brazil national team.

good lineup, would like to see yeri, roberto and paco in second half

I think there's a chance it's a 4-4-2 with Iniesta on the right. Valverde has actually experimented with Iniesta playing on the right this season if I remember correctly.
