Best team is the one to get the job done not necessarily the same players

And no one could suggest those players with fewer minutes couldn't get the job done. They are all either world class or on the verge of.

Resting implies they are tired already is my point

it doesn't, it suggests resting them.

Resting implies they are tired already is my point,they are fit athletes,now saying rotation to keep them in peak form is different,pep heavily rotates as he picks the players game by game and the ones he thinks will suit the game,that of course is sensible

Whether you rest them or rotate them the point is to try to keep your important players fit for as long as you can and that's the point which various posters have made in this thread. Its not about players being tired necessarily its just to minimize the risk of injury. Moreover when you are blessed with the squad like we are, we can afford to rest or rotate players and still get the job done.

Ah. May download the bt sport app to my Nvidia shield then..

On my Sky box the BT ESPN channel is on 426. I assume if you subscribe to BT TV you can watch it there?

This setup with the front 3 especially for champions league away games is perfect.

I do not, hence investigating this freeview option.

I'd have David Silva alongside KDB and Bernardo in for Sterling otherwise the same set-up. 433 would be my system of choice for most City games with the two full backs pushed up wherever possible
