The most common adjustment has been Marc Casado alongside Pedri. Flick leaned on this duo in league clashes against Levante, Valencia, Osasuna, and Girona, plus the Champions League meeting with Olympiacos. Casado became the default stand-in for De Jong earlier in the campaign, though most of those minutes came months ago. With Pedri now fully fit, this combination naturally resurfaces as the most straightforward fix.
