MLS & White can have the Brugge game, and at least one of them the Wolves (h) game next week too. That's the chance for those players to sit down.

Give White the starts vs. Brugge & Wolves (h). Shown he can do it today and let Timber fully sit down next week.

I'd give Norgaard those two games too.

Gyokeres back should allow for Merino to deputise more Rice minutes (might need to do just that on Saturday).

I think he could work well in the Rice role and also alongside Rice in more of a double pivot.

MLS weaknesses
Crossing, Defensive awareness, 1v1s (all key from our LB)

MLS strengths
Ball carrying, key passes, athleticism (all key from our CMs)

Didn’t count him as arrived into the season

True, I forgot Merino though
