Pep has got to make the changes in this to keep players fresh and spread the minutes. Im not sure he will though, I think after last seasons shit show he is going to want to go as strong as possible every game, even when it isnt neccesary.
They've had a good start, currently 3rd but had a 2 goal lead today and ended up drawing, with the £90m rag Antony getting a brace.

Give Haaland a much deserved rest, he can't play every single game, this is as good of a time to give him a little breather and we've got an unbelievable weapon off the bench if needs be. Rest here and a full rest in the league cup next week gives him a fairly light month and should keep him fresh.
I get what you’re saying and you never want to run players into the ground, but players scoring goals don’t get tired.
Look at Messi and CRonaldo in their best goalscoring seasons in their careers…
In Messi’s top scoring seasons he scored 47 goals in 53 games, 53 goals in 55 games, 73 goals in 60 games, 60 goals in 50 games, 58 goals in 57 games, 54 goals in 52 games and 51 goals in 50 games.
In CRonaldo’s he scored 53 goals in 54 games, 60 goals in 55 games, 55 goals in 55 games, 51 goals in 47 games, 61 goals in 54 games and 51 goals in 48 games.
Unless they were injured or suspended, they’d pretty much play most weeks.
Haaland doesn’t have to play in the EFL Cup or FA Cup when it comes round… even then I’d bet he’d want to. In the CL though, he’s on the march up the goalscoring list and he’ll want to play in every CL game (I bet it’s even in his contract).
Three of the four players above him don’t play anymore and 6th is only 8 goals in front. He could be 7th by the end of this season.
