Paris Saint-Germain — GW 21 · 9–12 Oct

Back from the international break, the task won't be easy. There's going to be a heavy schedule this October with midweek cup games alongside Champions League matches. Expect rotation. Ferran Torres and Warren are dealing with injuries and should be eased back, as should Marquinhos. Dembelé and Nuno have been rested. Fabian Ruiz who just became a dad didn't get much game time with La Roja so I see him starting, like Joao who isn't in Jorge Jesus's plans. I also think Doué will start, he's in top form. For third place, Akliouche should get the nod. At the back Hakimi looks better even though he didn't play in Morocco's last match. Pacho only played 26 minutes in Ecuador's last game so he could start. On the left Hernandez is ahead of Digne.
