There is no reason Schweinsteiger would get benched other than to keep him injury free. When Schweini is fit, Guardiola used him in every big game. Lahm is not going to be that youthful forever, and he's such a good defender AND distributor of the ball it's a waste to keep him at right back. If Guardiola plays him at right back I'm not going to complain, but there is a reason why Austria doesn't use the "best left back in the world" at LB. If Alaba could be converted from midfield to LB, the same can be done for Rode and if that comes off that's one less useless transfer in the line of Kirchoff and Petersen. The flanks are a good place for the younger players to play and develop anyway, since they are faster and develop good positional sense when they are confined by the sidelines. It's the center where we need our mature players.
My only concern is if Pep can get a good rotation of midfielders going to keep everyone in form when injury happens, and it's going to depend a lot on the formation. I don't know if this three at the back really happens, and though I am glad we are adding different aspects to our game I am skeptical of it. If we go back to our conventional back four, I just hope to see Martinez in midfield, Schweinsteiger and Lahm given proper rests, and more of the youngsters given a shot.
PS: I bet Kroos being allowed to go to Madrid has more to do with Lahm preferring midfield. This makes Lahm's coup d'etat of Ballack complete: taken the captaincy and finally gets central midfield

For now the board seems to be supporting him in his decisions, that's what matters.
