The 67-year-old has warned his players that their past performances are not enough to assure them a place in the starting line-up for the Bavarians.
This, as Arjen Robben and Mario Gomez struggle to get back into the team after lengthy injury lay-offs.
The duo have only recently come back into contention and are undoubtedly eager to return to action, but Heynckes says he does not foresee any changes to his starting XI occurring in the near future.
"All of them could play, all of them are totally motivated in training. We don't just have 11 first-teamers, we have 20 good players," he was quoted as saying on the club's official website.
"I'm delighted with our strength in depth. It's obviously a shame that I can't play all the good players we have, but the players have to accept it. Victories are the priority.
"I won't be making many changes at the moment. The team has to come together as a unit, and we have to keep winning. I refuse to take risks in the circumstances."
Bayern have an 11-point lead over second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, with 15 games remaining in the Bundesliga this term.
