Not a shock to see BA pick as close to 1-17 as are available. Those are supposed to be our "best" and most experienced players, and most will have played under different systems so won't need to be told what to change from scratch. It also gives them first go to impress him, which hopefully they will.
It will obviously be interesting to see how we go against KR, but also what changes start to be made from there. We have no room to experiment or wait for improvement for games on end, so we might see some pretty brutal treatment of underperforming players from then on in.
