Chris Hughton's team selection for Saturday's FA Cup trek to Middlesbrough is suddenly quite complicated.
The pattern, up to now, has been familiar in the cup competitions.
Wholesale changes to his first-choice Premier League and formerly Championship line-ups.
On this occasion the Boro game follows the 4-0 defeat by Chelsea, in which Hughton made sweeping alterations and amended the system as well.
Bruno, Gaetan Bong, Anthony Knockaert, Jose Izquierdo and Glenn Murray were all left out.
Some of their replacements did better than others.
So who does he pick for a fixture far less important than those that immediately follow it, away to Southampton four days later and at home to West Ham three days after that?
And what about the tactics? Ezequiel Schelotto, man-of-the-match against Chelsea, is better suited to the role of wing-back than orthodox full-back.
Hughton's Cup choices at the Riverside Stadium will be more intriguing than normal.
