Player Valuation: £15m
The last couple of games have seen Stones, Baines and Deulofeu shut out. Is this a sign of a change in thinking from a manager who up to now has been stubbornly loyal to certain players ? Or just responses to specific circumstances ?
The level of competition for places is tremendous.
At centre back how do you pick two from Stones, Jagielka and Funes Mori ?
What to do with all the talent that we've got at left back ?
Deulofeu or Lennon ?
Should we leave out McCarthy to make way for Besic when he's fit ?
Cleverley, Pienaar or Miralles in left midfield ?
Where will Niasse fit into the picture ?
With such a strong squad and lack of European commitments we ought to have a least a shout of nailing a European place. So how should Martinez be using his squad ? Should there be some kind of rotation policy ? Or is it more important to give players runs of games as long as they're doing ok, before thinking about benching them ?
