I think that if Anna will make it to the team then that would also mean that she has been amazing at the test skate event and that should also mean that Russian Fed isn't going to put Nastia Gubanova and Shcherbakova in the same JGP event. So, the way I see it is that Gubanova, Shcherbakova and Trusova shouldn't skate at the same event but other than that it doesn't matter much who is the 2nd skater in each event. Personally I would most likely start with two ladies from Eteri's group since they have shown they are ready already early season. Also, I would give Gubanova a later start.
So, I would likely go with something like this.
1st Event: Shcherbakova and Panenkova
2nd Event: Trusova and Gulyakova
3rd Event: Tarakanova and Panenkova
4th Event: Shcherbakova and Fedichkina
5th Event: Gubanova and Gulyakova
6th Event: Trusova and Tarakanova
7th Event: Gubanova and Fedichkina
I feel like when they all hit, the results are going to be gubanova>tarakanova>trusova>shcherbakova>panenkova>fedichkina>gulyakova so i guess if rika kihira and eunsoo do well, then there will be 4 spots for the russian girls so the stronger ones should pair with the weaker ones in order to ensure that the stronger ones get into the finals
