The fact that Littlefinger left with Sansa and Verys left with Tyrion probably tells her that they're with her enemies. Besides, she never dealt much with either of them.

I had wondered about her small council too. It doesn't seem that she has one. I thought this would be her undoing since she wouldn't have ideas to bounce around or advise from elders. However, she has seemed to out-wit Daenerys without a council. Which is interesting since Daenerys has a well formed small council but they do not seem to be giving great advise.

It seems everyone knows about The Battle of the Bastards. Cersei would know that Littlefinger is involved because the Lannisters sent him to the Vale in the first place.

Varys disappeared from King's Landing at the same time as Tyrion, so she has probably figured it out by now.

The problem with Danys council is that she has no military leaders with the possie exception of Yara. Cersei still has Jaime and thats enough to outwit political leaders and a naval leader.

Good point. I was thinking Grey Worm as the military expert, however he would probably be more adept at actual combat than tactics.

Thought snow was a military expert. He's there now. Tyrion is good with military sometimes too.

Jons not on her council.

Sure, not officially, but she did ask for his advice and he is advising her on the white walkers...Just saying.

"Good point. I was thinking Grey Worm as the military expert"

Gray Worm would have a problem because he's dealing with an alien culture. He's probably used to mercenary armies, not feudal levies, and they may behave differently.

Have a problem, perhaps. But any great tactician should be able to adapt. The primary issue with Grey Worm is that he might not even be greatly qualified in tactics. It seems to me that would be the case since I'm not sure the masters of the Unsullied would want them orchestrating attacks, but just fight as ordered.
