First draw of the season 1:1 against Southend United. Was inevitable. With Aston Villa and Everton up next, this is going to be a very bad week for United.

Despite dominating, an expected 2:1 defeat to a full strength Aston Villa side. Their red card sealed the result.

Good chance of a team without a major trophy winning the Cup. Villa have been playing full strength though so won't be easy.

Thanks mate :D

Good game Damo, we took one each. Was sure i’d be out of both cup and shield after drawing you.
I was thinking exactly the same! I suppose I could have played my first team in both matches like you did but didn't want to risk my league lead going to nothing so early in the season.

Good luck in the rest of the competition. Messi should smash it.

Thanks to @RedSky for helping me out with the spreadsheet with full youth data which you can see here (includes breakdown of points by player age). Let me know if any of you spot any incorrect data - I did most of the spreadsheet on the 28th so might have missed a player rising/falling since.

Are you going full strength though... :wenger:
Will play mostly full strength i think, haven’t really got a lot to lose in the league..

Yeah i figured that you’d focus on the league, especially since you’re in the lead.
Your so called second team is still better than my first though :lol:

I'll score in the 51st minute again and ruin your tactics.
Fool me once...

We will be with a fully operational tactical set up designed to tear you apart

We will lose heavily it will not be pretty

4:1 victory against Aston Villa in the fourth, and hopefully final, time we face them this season. Knowing my luck, we'll draw them in one of the knockout games in the Champions Cup.
