Do we field a B-team vs. UAE?

[GolfePersique]

I'm not sure if changing the whole formation would be the wisest thing, particularly given the drought of friendlies prior to the tournament, these group matches will certainly help syncing our first 11(especially the defensive line which is 50% modified).

However, it's worth giving a chance to some of our youngsters like Alireza, Soroush who could be instrumental in the next phases.

No these guys are professional footballers their job is to run if theyre tired after 2 games with 3 rest days in between they should get another job

[ilovefootball]

Yes we should

Counterargument:
A TM that is as tired as their opponents (Iraq) might be considered better than a rested TM vs Japan. I'm not saying this is the way to go, but just showing how both sides have their pros and cons.

I know to some this is crazy. Why would we field a B-team in an important match that determines our Quarter-Finals match-up? I think there is some benefits and some considerations.
