        It's lost it's magic ever since Man United disrespected it to make a show of themselves in the Club World cup in Brazil. That was the tournament where Edmundo - the guy who got a monkey drunk on live TV - made an absolute tit out of Gary Neville!

Wasn’t aware that my chosen country league had to be USA as well given people often choose their country league for a variety of reasons, often personal. If that’s the necessary criterion for being a part then I’ll accept your decision to remove me, but I was enjoying being in that league and would prefer to continue if it’s deemed acceptable. Thanks for the quick reply.

            Is it better though? If you're picking nailed players then unless you pick up an injury or there is a blank you won't be picking up occasional bench points. If you're rotating you are going to get it wrong a lot because that's the way football/sport goes, if we all knew who would do what each week then there'd be a lot of poor bookies. If its an injury then you aren't keeping that injured 8th player anyway you'll transfer them. I mean if you've got a half decent defence (whatever that is these days) and you're not on Areola/Dubravka and you've not got a fodder then crack on but otherwise are those benched funds not better spread amongst the defence and on a better keeper? Or even on a better playing 7th attacking option?

          Hmm I guess I would put less weight on the record if I felt Poch had transformed the way Chelsea play, but breaking down a compact defence like Brentford still lingers as an issue and that last matchup seemed to typify it. So yeah I would expect it to be fairly tight.

    My defence is a shambles. Already planned to use my FT elsewhere so any change will be -4

    Virgil, Trippier, Estupinan, Zinchenko, Taylor

    Is Estu to Gabriel worth a -4? He feels like a higher priority sell given Zinchenko could be back soon

      Why is everyone so sure about Hwang? He is still recovering from Klinsmann.

      I have Neto (c) and Semedo on my Sheffield Sunday roast menu.

    I can't believe Saka did get the goal. His shot was clearly deflected by Schär and would have hit the post otherwise.

    Should have been three own goals.

    Well. At least he didn't get an assist for the first goal. 😉

      If free hitting in GW29, that makes sense. Otherwise I’d go for Brentford, Reguilon the pick of the bunch

    Not a fan of goalkeeper transfers but run out of patience with Dubravka / Turner.

    Neto the best option? For a hit or nah?

      IF Bournemouth end up having a confirmed fixture in 29 then yes I think it could be worth the hit in 27 for Neto

    Best option here? Will likely be FHing 29.

    A) KDB -> Son
    B) Darwin -> Solanke
    C) A + B (-4)
    D) KDB, Foden & Darwin -> Salah(c), Palmer & Solanke (-8)

    Kelleher
    Gabriel, Porro, Bradley
    KDB, Saka(c), Foden, Gordon
    Haaland, Watkins, Darwin

    Areola, Hwang, Burn, Estupinan

    Hopes and dreams rest with Hwang (C) today. Incoming pre-match injury, or ineffective first half followed by a half-time benching.

    If Salah starts today then Gordon + Estu -> Salah + Bradley looks good for 2FT? Bradley would be the 4th defender
