An international break just before an away match against Hoffenheim. Not the perfect timing

It's one of the toughest matches of the calendar this season. I don't know what the record is with playing after an international break but I guess we have a best record at every matchday.

I do know of one record we have though related to international breaks: we generally end up accumulating the highest number of injuries.

Subs: Ozil for either Brandt or Draxler, Timo for Gomez to stretch the tired defenders and depending on who starts Can or Goertzka to come on for the other.

Goertzka >>>> Can.
Also, I would prefer to have Brandt start on the left. He's a natural left winger but he never gets to play there for the national team because of the favor shown to Draxler, and I want to see what he can do there. Muller playing right wing would also be good so that he can score a hat trick from the right wing and screw over Ancelotti's mind. Naturally, that means either Draxler has to play 10(a role I'm not convinced he's really capable of playing) or Ozil starts.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a very strange starting lineup? My only guess is that Stindl is playing center mid.
