So how do we do this? Everyone are back from injury. We have 3 difficult away games in the coming week that could shape our season

I'd rest most of our players against Alaves. It's a home game and we are in good form. The frontline of Vini-Benz-Lucas would be my go to front line against the next 3 teams so let Bale have this one

My desired line up:

Then against Barca and Ajax


Even if Vini fails to impress in these coming big games he'd still have done a better job than Bale and to some extent Asensio. So I'd still trust him to carry on after that

Squad list:

Keylor Navas, Thibaut Courtois, Diego Altube, Sergio Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo, Alvaro Odriozola, Sergio Reguilon, Javi Sanchez, Luka Modric, Casemiro, Marcos Llorente, Marco Asensio, Isco, Dani Ceballos, Mariano, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vazquez and Vinicius.

Kroos rested, both Carvajal and Varane suspended

Official line up

Courtois; Odriozola, Nacho, Ramos, Reguilón; Modric, Casemiro, Ceballos; Bale, Benzema y Vinícius

That's official then, Lucas will start vs Barca

Please get Bale out of there. So out of sync with the rest of the team. Gtfo

Alaves is such a dirty cancer to watch team. Uggh

Refs definitely don't like us. With any other team they'd wait until the attack ended and then watch VAR for offsides. With us they blow before and it turns out being the wrong call anyways
