Who else is Wembleyed out?

Nor in any Community Shield, so the point stands.

I’m sure if City weren’t involved in title tussles and the CL latter stages, Pep would play his strongest teams in the semi-finals. Thankfully last season was different with an easy semi-final win against Sheff Unitednon the way to the Treble.

Exactly. If we’d had a hard semi final, we’d probably not have won the treble.

Pep doesn’t really care if we win the semi final or not. If we do, we’ll probably win the cup, but we have to do it with a second team.

With another chance of playing the Rags in the FA Cup final, they will beat Coventry, and PL and CL results defining the PL title race and getting to the CL semi-final, Pep may put out his tired but strongest team for the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea? But Pep’s footballing brain works in mysterious ways.

He won‘t. He’ll put out what he believes is the best eleven for that day. It won’t be the first eleven.
 
The schedule and priorities.

There is a priority order. It’s a toss up between the PL, for the 4th time in a row, and the CL for the 2nd time in a row, but the FA Cup will always come third. However, as there’s still a chance of a double treble, we‘d be foolish to 2nd guess Pep’s team selections going forward, bar player injuries and suspensions.
