Why doens't rafa play him?
Because Rafa plays the BBC every time and Modric is amazing... which means that only 2 players out of Casemiro, Kroos, James, Isco and Vázquez can make it into the starting XI. Casemiro is almost a necessity for balance (although Kroos is often played in that role aswell), and James is a better attacking option than Isco imo (Benítez also seems to prefer him), so he's having trouble making it into the team.
Personally I'd play 4-4-2 more often, giving some of Bale's playtime to Isco.
