What I like so far is that he is establishing a starting 11 with many options and he is playing everyone in their best position (except Masch of course).
GK: Bravo and MatS can be 1a and 1b.
LB : Alba clear first choice with Adriano as backup and if needed Mathieu, Vermalen and Montoya can play there.
LCB : Mathieu is the man and is clear starter with Vermalen as the backup. Of course the other CBs Masch Bartra Pique can also play here.
RCB : Masch and Pique are 1a and 1b with Bartra the 3rd option.
RB : Alves has the job for the most part with only Monotya, Adriano and Douglas challenging he should keep it.
LCM : Iniesta starts and can be replaced by Xavi, Rakitic, Rafinha, Roberto. Lots of options but Iniesta is clear starter.
CDM : Busi is the one but look for Masch to play the games Busi rests and Samper as 3rd string if needed.
RCM : Rakitic has taken the job and ran with it his work has been fantastic and guys like Rafinha, Xavi have their work cut out.
LW : neyboy seems like a clear starter but Lucho won't hesitate to rest him or keep him as a super sub. Pedro, Munir and Sandro are other options.
CF : Leo will start and move to midfield and wing while other forwards take the CF spot. Suarez of course will start up front with Leo one way or another. Munir and Sandro the youth options.
RW : Suarez will take this spot but until then Pedro, Rafinha, Sandro and Munir can all play there.
Main difference between Lucho and Tata&Tito is that he won't hesitate to bench anyone except Leo, Iniesta and Busi. Everyone else will be fair game!
