Which Defensive Mids/LBs/RBs are you going to bench to start him/get him into a starting rotation?
DM - Fernandinho/Gundogan; LB Mendy/Delph/Laporte; RB Walker/Stones. Admittedly, Laporte/Stones may be less favored there than Danilo.
I'm not saying that he won't see minutes - I am saying that he's not going to be a regular starter baring injury (which is bound to happen).
Both on top form, Danilo has a higher ceiling than Walker.
Classier on the ball, more composure offensively and a better one on one defender.
But Walker has an unbelievable engine and fantastic physically.
They’re a great pair to have.
