- I was already considering using my Quick Fix chip in Round 32, particularly with LAFC having a bye, which rules out Hugo Lloris and Yevhen Cheberko.
- That possibility now looks increasingly likely, with Tyrell Malacia and Milan Iloski dealing with injuries, while Guilherme and Tai Baribo are also doubts for the midweek fixtures.
- Thankfully, we should get D.C. United’s starting XI before the round locks. If Baribo starts and there’s a positive indication about Guilherme’s availability, I may hold off on activating my Quick Fix.
- In that scenario, my planned transfers would bring in Kristijan Kahlina, Noel Caliskan, Peyton Miller, Nicolás Fernández and Antoine Griezmann.
- However, if Baribo or Guilherme is definitely ruled out before the deadline, I’ll most likely activate my Quick Fix chip instead.

- The Double Gameweek proved very fruitful, with Evander scoring an incredible 72 points thanks to my Triple Captain token. That helped me climb 30 places in the rankings, which is a very welcome green arrow at this stage of the season, when making progress is becoming increasingly difficult.
- Both Los Angeles teams have a bye this round, but otherwise we have a full schedule of matches tomorrow night.
- In goal, I’ve sold Hugo Lloris and brought in Brian Schwake. He’s enjoyed a breakthrough season with Nashville SC, earning a call-up and appearance for the United States national team, while also helping his club win the Supporters’ Shield. Andrew Thomas remains my other goalkeeper.
- My defence features Maxwell Woledzi, Silvan Hefti and Neil Pierre. I’ve also replaced Yevhen Cheberko with Luc de Fougerolles, while Anthony Markanich comes in for Tyrell Malacia.
- I’ve made two changes in midfield, replacing Leo Walta with André Luiz and bringing Hany Mukhtar back into the squad. Mukhtar also enjoyed Nashville’s Supporters’ Shield success. Evander, Milan Iloski and Guilherme complete my midfield.
- Up front, Lionel Messi leads the line, although his minutes are worth monitoring after he only featured in the second half of Inter Miami’s previous match. Antoine Griezmann and Bruno Damiani complete my attack.
- Messi is my preferred captain for the opening set of fixtures, provided he starts.

- My goalkeepers will remain unchanged this round, despite neither being particularly convincing options.
- In defence, I’m bringing in Anthony Markanich, whose side have the highest odds of winning this week. He also offers plenty of attacking threat, making him an appealing option. Tristan Blackmon comes in as a useful late fallback.
- In midfield, I’m tempted to take an early punt on a Charlotte FC player, with their upcoming fixture looking appealing.
- Up front, the in-form Rafael Navarro looks like an obvious pick. He’ll be joined by Brian White, who provides another useful late fallback option.
