    Ruben Amorim on the absence of Matheus Cunha: "It was a knock in training so I don’t know how long he’s going to stay out, I think it’s nothing serious, but we cannot risk players."

      He'll be back for Palace.

      1. Philosopher's Stones

        Not good news for king Charles.

      2. Tonyawesome69

        Depends if he has to go through the concussion protocol for the head knock

        Concussion protocol - enhanced care pathway:

        - Day 12
        Earliest return to play (RTP)

        - Day 7 RTP permitted only if
        exceptional criteria met

        1. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 1 day ago

          Yeah we are assuming he got the knock on Friday or Saturday if he missed the xmas lights turn on as a result. If it was Saturday and standard concussion protocol suffices then that's 8 days gap between games.

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 1 day ago

            If he passes the concussion protocol...

            See Alderete as an example

            "Day 7 RTP permitted only if
            exceptional criteria met"

            1. _Greg
              • 15 Years
              1 month, 1 day ago

              Yes but how often does that happen?

            2. _Greg
              • 15 Years
              1 month, 1 day ago

              You're not gonna buy him away at Palace anyway but might be worth holding.

  3. F4L

    love him as a player but cunha has been borderline dreadful to own this season. can finally sell now without worrying too much

    as an aside do you think its too soon to start considering Milenkovic/Murillo again? theyve also kept 2 clean sheets in 2 in EL under Dyche

    1. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Forest CBs are deffo back on the menu imo. May still monitor a little bit, MnM have goal threat, DCs and Dyche defense in front of them

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        their underlying defensive data looks very solid as well, considering theyve gone away to bournemouth and liverpool and united at home. agreed, does look promising doesnt it

    2. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      I think I'd go Williams at 4.7m, they seem a little expensive when you can get the likes of O'Reilly or Lacroix for 5m.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years

      that's pretty much the lie of the land atm

      Could go Henderson in goal?

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      not the biggest fan of verbruggen and gvardiol, but if you like them then fair enough. rest looks nice. bench points might end up being frustrating

    4. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Gvardiol has had trouble sleeping this year, go Dias for security or O'Reilly for upside.

      Andersen not great upcoming fixtures but depends when you're playing him in rotations.

    • Solly The Seagull
      • 8 Years

      Which one to play this week?

      A) Enzo
      B) Minteh

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        Tough one, probably Minteh though. Arsenal more solid than Forrest

      2. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        I'd probably play Enzo if he's not been rinsed vs Barcelona

    • Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      If Zirkzee had any quality this would be an opportunity for him to show that he belongs in the side. Unfortunately hes terrible.

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        Ha this is almost his last chance!

    • Supersonic_

      Bruno brace, no Mbeumo involvement. Please and thank you

            should leave it for their manager Moyes to make decision,

          What did Utd have to do with it lol. It was literally Everton players fighting amongst themselves and they made no complaints for the red. Something obviously happened

            Guess it has happened before
            April 2, 2005, when two teammates—Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer
            The match between Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer is remembered for the intense and controversial on-pitch altercation that occurred after Newcastle United's third goal against Aston Villa in April 2005. The incident, which is often referred to as the "Match of the Day" clip, has become a significant part of football history due to its dramatic and shocking nature. The match was notable for Newcastle's poor performance, with four penalty appeals that were not awarded, and the match ended with a 3-0 defeat for Aston Villa. The altercation between Dyer and Bowyer, which involved punches and escalated to a physical confrontation, has been widely discussed and analyzed for its impact on the game and the players involved.

            He has more non penalty goals than salah this season.

          Absolutely nothing in it. And why didn’t Everton complain about the red at all?
