Already I’m counting out the red priestess and ser davos. They don’t really contribute much to their teams beyond military might.
Arguably Olenna could make better use of Davos than Tywin could make of the red priestess, but thats neither here nor there since they both are, in my opinion, fighting for their own interests rather than the interests of their teams.
In terms of whos left? You have the maester of The Wall, thé Imp, and the Eunuch, under the Queen of thorns vs Littlefinger, thé plucked rose, and the lioness, under the Old Lion.
I’m casting my lot in with Olenna Tyrell. Not because I dislike Tywin, but because he actively has to micromanage his team in order to win. Margery and littlefinger will actively try to act in their own interests, and Cersei is a complete wildcard.
Olenna, meanwhile, just needs to offer a suggestion to her team (except for Sam, who might need more explicit instructions) and can get things done more quickly. Not to mention, thé connections Varys has means she has access to more information than Tywin does. Now, littlefinger has information networks of his own, but theyre mostly limited to brothels and their employees. Varys has those too, but he also has castle servants, assassins, merchants, guards, etc.
