I was thinking the same about the fullbacks but in all honesty I think it's the sort of thing Rafa would of done as well. I don't get it myself but maybe just throwing all your new signings straight into the first starting lineup of the season could be a tad risky. A risk of rather take than start with the full backs we are mind.
