    Ranked 1671 in UCL, 1.3m in FPL. Very contrasting fortunes, especially since I'm way more casual about UCL

    I've read through the logic on this site's coverage and slapped this up for R16:

    (C)Kane Haaland Hauge
    Yamal Vini Gordon Szobo
    VVD Gabriel Ruggeri
    Oblak
    .
    Raya Saka Hakimi O'Reilly
    .
    0.1m ITB

    O'Reilly is there for the 4.1 price, really. There's quite the chance City progresses. If not, he can stay on my bench until there's a spare FT. Hauge and Ruggeri allow this too

    In knockout rounds of tournaments, I tend to concentrate funds on the shrinking options for my starting XI

    Good luck, one and all 🙂

      Casuals win again.

      Fair play and good luck the rest of the season. UCL a lot easier to play with rotation. At 9426 now, had 2 good captain picks last two rounds. I wouldn't read a single UCL piece on this site or most of them. Half convinced AI does them, rarely mentions lesser known players. Transfermarkt for form and Newsnow.co.uk for updates, Danny Kelly's Trans Euro Express pod for a few nuggets like Urbig for Bayern. I won't win anything but it keeps me amused 🙂 Currently on this 15, but changeable until 5:40:

      Kane(c), Osimhen, Pedro
      Musiala, Yamal, Gordon, Semenyo
      Van Dijk, Gabriel, Grimaldo
      Urbig

      Raya, Vinicius, Mendes, O'Reilly

        Lovely squad. I see the form preference

      I came close to winning it 2 seasons ago. So close yet so far.

      Good luck to you, too. Solid team and rank. Maybe putting too much faith in Atletico's defence, though I get playing the odds despite them being defensively suspect this season. I'd like to punt on an attacker from them it's Spurs after all, but the minutes are tricky.
      The forwards' pool seems poorer than ever, while there are too many midfielders to choose from. Saka/Palmer/Vini/Gordon/Yamal/Raphinha/Olise/Musiala/Lookman/Salah/Szoboszlai/Semenyo/Vitinha/Doue/Kvaratshkelia, etc. Plenty of chance for big rank gains. Maybe I should play it safe with an 940 OR, but I'll probably take a punt or two.
      I like having 15 players and taking advantage of the option to use subs between days, but focusing on the starting XI is an interesting approach.
