Genuinely not on the wum but is it?

Looks really poor to me.

I do think Richarlison would be a very good addition to your squad though fwiw.

no more b teams. 5/6 player rotations only

Looks more functional than challenging City. Be interesting to see Liverpools and Chelsea's B team with 11 changes. Not so sure they would be much better

Yup hence the title

early competitive cup games rather through some academy players be thrown in with first team rotation rather than changing the 11 completely which is a complete no go with a good enough squad

Really?

I mean I can do it if you want but players like Konate, Gomez, Tsmikias, Keita, Firmino and Jota all walk into that side with the others at least par imo.

It is starting to look better though

is it possible to have Firmino and Jota both in the b team now Mane is gone?

ignore my dumb a$$, Nunez init

I reckon we start with Diaz, Nunez and Salah so yeah.

Combined b team xi

Richarlison Firmino Jota
Keita Hojbjerg/Bentancur Skipp
Tsmikias Gomez Matip/Konate Doherty
Kelleher

I don’t think there will be an ‘a’ and ‘b’ team. There will be a squad and conte will choose the best players based on their performance, fitness and his twctics

Lol on the GK
Gomez wouldn’t be fit
Reguilón/Sessegnon are better than Tsmikias

hes a good keeper. not for that formation sessegnon wouldnt be and assuming Reguilon wouldnt be here.

Forster
Emerson Sanchez Roden Reguilón
Ndombele Højbjerg Skipp
Lucas Richarlison Bergwijn

We're not finished yet so I think we'll probably be adding another RWB, CB & CM to that list.

Bergwijn is as good as gone and Ndombele won’t be allowed within 100 miles of the club - loan somewhere. Rodon is expected to leave as is Royal.

I prefer to look at it as we need to make a sub, Conte turns to look at the bench and sees:

Richarlison
Lucas
PEH
Davies
Reggie
Sess
Skipp
Spence/Doch
Dier/New CB
Forster

I think they are some good options for him and he will feel backed

Wtf is this B team nonsense, is there a new B team trophy or something

I actually prefer Royal to Doherty. I think Doherty will get skinned in champs league and against Top 6 wingers.

I think Doherty will do well against lower league teams..whilst he could be an option I'm.npt sure his injury will let him be the same player. I'd rather get a new RWB to replace him...maybe that's Spence but a world class one would be a statement.

Not sure what holjberg has done to warrant being demoted to our B team, other than be one of our consistently better players for the last 18 months!

Also Hoody is right. That team isn’t very good. But I can’t see any meaningful games where we’d put out only those players and not a few of the first team as well. I agree that we’re getting a better quality across the squad so that we’re more adaptable and don’t just have one nailed on starting 11, but let’s not kid ourselves that we have the same quality in depth as city and Liverpool (yet!)

this is the great thing now we can play a combo of 3 out of the 4 forwards and 2 out of the 4 CMs and not be significantly weakened.

No, it's just a fairly simple way to represent how much strength in depth a squad has. Pretty straight forward really.

Not enough attacking game changes there imo. Something like an eriksen added to the above would be good.
