The easiest Fleming solution is to have her rotate through various positions in the midfield and forwards to give players a rest - she has the versatility and tactical awareness to make this possible. Not to mention that this reduces the number of bruised egos! I think Emma Hayes missed a trick last year in not playing her more in UWCL matches - her only start was against Servette, which was Chelsea's only real convincing performance in Europe last year.

BTW, the "baby" tag has always confused me - she's 24 and has more international experience than most of the squad (2 WCs and 2 Olympics plus more than 100 caps).
