stick with the starting eleven in an attempt to get the best result or risk changes to give some players a rest.
If we lose heavily Sunday and finish third, there are still plenty of teams who could finish on 4 points and knock us out, so I'm not sure it's going to be a game to rotate so much.
I would be more concerned with yellow cards and risk of suspensions.
I think yellows only get wiped off after the quarter finals, and two yellows is an automatic one game suspension.
The problem with protecting Kieffer (on a yellow) is that there is no one else in the squad to play No 9. If he is 'rested' then Page will have to go back to the other formation - with a false 9 and wing backs.
I also wonder how much the score in the other match will affect decisions on substitutions and whether to risk players later in the game. If Turkey are well ahead at half time and second place looks secure, Page may become very risk averse.

Are yellow cards wiped out ahead of semi-finals? | UEFA Champions ...
We could do with Portugal besting Germany tomorrow. If that were to happen and Belgium beat Finland we are through to the next stage.
We need to play our best team to avoid a tonking. A 1-0 defeat would be ok.
Can’t see him changing anything unless someone has picked up an injury. Need to make sure that we concede less than 3.
Defeatist talk here, why not beat Italy and top the group. Italy always have a bad game in them.
Lots of things to consider on basis of not wanting to lose momentum, that we're Group A so we don't fully know what's happening in other groups yet and that 3 games in just over a week/the threat of suspension to key players meaning we'll probably want to rest a few as much as possible.
Italy's midfield has been dominant so far which has allowed control of the ball and creation of many chances but 6pm local time in Rome in June is going to be another hot one.
It's a ridiculous system. A player who receives a yellow card in the first group game and the quarter-finals (two yellow cards in five games) is banned for the semi-finals, but a player who receives a yellow card in the quarter-finals and the semi-finals (two yellow cards in two games) can play in the final.Quote:

and also it says this
"
The rules for the tournament do however state that yellow cards have a reset button also, just like the Premier League. After completion of the quarter-final round, single cautions will be wiped from the record meaning you can't pick up a suspension for the final for a yellow card in the semi-final. "
I'm just reading your link. Yes, that's what it says.Quote:
