Do we field a B-team vs. UAE?

[TheBoss]

according to this news, Khosrow Heydari will accompany CQ tomorrow in the press conference before the UAE game. Wonder if it's hint about our squad against UAE

I am afraid all these will not happen. CQ will use Khosrow heidari instead of dejagah, Jahanbakhsh
instead of either hajsafi or shojaei. Maybe AF in CF, Rezaei for ghafoori and so on.

[Tehranto]

More and more reports of our A-team being fatigued.

I would no doubt replace Masoud and Hajsafi because they have yellow cards. But would also slot in Jahanbaksh for Dejagah.

[minirum]

Rest players that need a rest, play to win

[Hosseini]

yess i agree our line up and strageticy will be based on tonight game, if japan win, we have to win, if japan lose, then iran will want to draw or even lose, we dont need to face japan

Japan will top the group 100% guaranteed. Their team is automatic.

[Hosseini]

I agree with Tehranto... it could be the same story as Bosnia if we go in the quarters fatigued. If we're fatigued in the quarters against Iraq or Japan, we won't see a good game from TM.

We're going to be 2nd or 1st anyway, and we'll meet Japan either way if we make it to the finals, so I would rest key players against UAE - especially Hosseini and the older guys.

We wouldn't need to lose. A draw would be enough to see us finish second and avoid '2nd place' Japan from group D.

[K. Nader]

But what if Iraq beats Japan in a major upset? Will you lose on purpose against UAE?

Do we field a B-team vs. UAE?

We should play rafiei instead of Shojaei for this match. He is in a sense kind of like Omar, but of lesser quality of course.

[Karimi 8]

ITs a tough one, we need to win this game mostly likely to avoid Japan right? Is there any rest days before the knockout stages? If not, I would say no need to turn to a complete B team, just make some adjustments.

The reasons for my choices below
- No need to rest a keeper in my opinion, he should be as tested as possible, and he barely got tested last game
- Ghafouri did not appear tired to me and he needs to be better coordinated with Haghighi and hosseini so he should start
- Hosseini is the foundation of our defense right now he needs to play, and get better with Ghafouri
- Pouraliganji is playing well, I would rest him and test Sadeghi this game so sadeghi is also prepared incase something goes wrong
- Pouladi didn't perform well last game and he is our LB he needs to play again
- Ando almost being injured gives a scare, he is our MVP pretty much, we need to test Ebrahimi more, and rest Ando, and Nekounam needs to captain the team and keep his good form
- Dejagah should be rested he has worked extremely hard the last two games, and JB has barely got any playing time! JB for full 90!
- Try out Rafiei for 65 minutes as well as CAM, bring in Shojaei if needed
- Amiri subbed in fo Hajsafi after the half, Hajsafi didn't do too well last game he needs to fix some things and should have 45 minutes to try again
- Azmoun obviouslly needs a rest from pulling that muscle and Reza is looking to prove himself again, this is a good game for him to play

My line up:

--------------------Haghighi------------------------
---Ghafouri--Hosseini--Sadeghi--Pouladi---------
---------------Nekounam-Ebrahimi---------------
--Jahanbakhsh------Rafiei--------------Hajsafi--
----------------------Reza-------------------------

This line up is very fast at counterattacking and our defense needs to be solid and I trust these players the most. I would be very happy with this lineup

[MR.S]

We should only field Hashem

[onebloodfool]

Imo yes, we should field a B-team.

[Abtin]

^ I would keep Dejagah in.

[sirvan]

Personally i wouldn't call it resting, but i think this match is an excellent opportunity to give some players the chance to prove themselves. Just how Azmoun got a chance to prove his abilities. It's a very important game, but it's not a do or die game. So with that in mind, i would start the following team:

Haghighi

Ghafouri Pouraliganji Hosseini Pooladi

Nekounam Ebrahimi Haj Safi

Jahanbakhsh Rafiei

Ansarifard
