Can someone post a link to the multiplayer game? The home page buttons for login and multiplayer versions are both not working for me and I'm on a new laptop so dont have it bookmarked.

Kroos' fitness is getting low. Might have to leave him out.
I'd usually be gleeful that a low rated player might play instead but given your options, its probably a 93 rated player that will replace him :lol:

Amazing :lol:

My 1st reserve CM unless I change the formation is 89.
The versatility of my players is great.

10 of my strongest XI are:

De Gea (95)

Kimmich (92) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Alaba (93)
Eriksen (93) Pogba (93)
----------- Kroos (95) Isco (93)
Griezmann (95)​

I've then got Dele (92), Sterling (92), Mbappe (92)

Dele can slot in at CM with Eriksen or Pogba shifted up to AM. There's also a decent chance Roberto might rise to 92 too who can be another CM option.

Yeah, versatility is critical. Unfortunately, the narrow 4-2-3-1 just doesnt work for me so I need to play with wide attackers which makes rotation a big pain. Would have been easier otherwise.

Yeah. I guess I'm just lucky most of my success has been with this formation.
*vomit*

(i'm directing that at @Damien)
Then there's Cengiz, Elvedi, Zakaria all 88 rated from my U21s, Retsos and Unal 87 rated. Took time to build up this side :p and got £479.2M in the bank.

Bloody Alaba. On the pitch for 20 mins in second half, gets sent off and misses three games. Drew 1:1 with Arsenal and Kimmich is out of the next game with injury. Gambling with giving 90 mins to Kroos on low fitness means he might not be fit for the pivotal game against Norwich either. Oh well.

De Gea (95)

Kimmich (92) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Gaya (90)
Dele (92) Pogba (93)⚽
Brandt
(90) Kroos (95) Isco (93)
Griezmann (95)➕

Subs: Stones (90), Roberto (91), Alaba (93), Eriksen (92), Goretzka (91), Sterling (92), Mbappe (92)
Did not travel: Martial (90), Matip (90)

Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM
= Subbed off
= Subbed on


Next three games:
MD22: Norwich City (A)
MD23: Bournemouth (H)
LSQF: Queens Park Rangers (H)

SM showing balls this time. Reus earlier and now benzema and Bale dropping.

Varane has got another rise, now 93. You can't do that and then not give umtiti the same rating but I'm sure he'll only be given 92 for now. Be funny if they ignore him totally

I'll be surprised if they're not the same rating by the end of next season. Think SM are reluctant to do 91 to 93 rating increases after the Gotze disaster (was a ridiculous rise at the time, anyway).
