That ideology has worked so well for us the past few years post Sir Alex /sarcasm. Actually, we are in the position to take punts because post reset, we had the best team and results in the premier league because we have such a strong starting eleven. We have the luxury to support that team, rather than alter it. If we wanted to, we can go into next season with the same starting eleven and do incredibly well as it is still young and developing.
Alter? We can offer all 4 players 3000+ minutes.
Edit: To expand on this thought, Greenwood likely ends up with 2600 minutes this season. With only using 4 positions it's possible to give all 4 players 3150 minutes. That's without taking into account injuries or Bruno's rotation spot. In reality, we would use Bruno's spot for rotation too so even more minutes could be given to those players or given to James. Even if you were to decrease those minutes of Greenwood, and bring it down to 2800 minutes, to give an extra 400 minutes to the other 3 players, it's still an increase compared to Greenwood's minutes this season. And since we're playing in the CL, the competition is slightly better so Greenwood's development would be assured.
Personally, I don't see minutes being a problem with international duty being a thing for all players giving them an extra 300-500 minutes.
