I know I’ll get shot down for this, but this game is pretty meaningless. Rest as many as we can and give the 2nd string some experience. The first teamers deserve a rest
It’s wrong, in so many ways but I am not going to shot you down.

I think we should treat this as a business pitch to Eze, or whichever one it is we want to sign. Take it seriously but not too seriously. Give 'em the old razzle dazzle.

Yeah agree - getting these guys a start would be the best thing we can do for the future. 

Maybe Tielemans to help him get fit for the summer.  I would rest Bailey - for me just edged player of the Season from Ollie.

I would start Ollie to see if he can get his 20th

Only player should be afforded a start is Gaucci
I would go along with VillaTim selection for outfield players. 70 mins or so.

I can see why it might be a good idea to play a few fringe players but I wouldn't be playing too many of them personally. Maybe Duran and Tim to start then like someone else said, give the others minutes as the game goes on.

Agree. Unai won’t want to let standards slips, this is a tough game despite nothing tangible riding on it, most of them will have most of the summer off. I think throwing KKH in against Eze or Olise would ruin the kid. Same team that started against Liverpool.

Unless they are at the Euros...plus they would probably report back in the last week of June.
Those involved in Euros would probably get an extra week.

I'd play a couple of the bench players and hope OW gets to 20.
