3:0 victory at home to Chelsea in the Cup. Konate and Kovacic with solid performances on their debut. Luton Town away in Round 2. Must be the first time since Season 16 I've got a decent draw in one of the cup competitions.

De Gea (95)

Roberto (91) Stones (91) Christensen (90) Gaya (90)
Goretzka (91)⚽➕⭐ Kovacic (91)
Brandt (90) Martial (90) Dele (92)
Mbappe (93)⚽⚽

Subs: Boateng (93), Alaba (93)➕, Ramos (95), Pogba (93), Konate (85), Griezmann (95), Sterling (93)
Injured: Kimmich (92)
Did not travel: Kroos (95), Eriksen (93), Cech (89)

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


Next three games:
MD06: Manchester City (H)
MD07: Barnsley (H)
CCGG4: Leipzig (H)

The way they rate the bundesliga, Konate will be a squad player for you after their next review

Squad player for me is 90+, maybe 89 at a push. Doubt he'll get a +4 in summer - +2 or 3 at the most in my opinion as SM will want his rating to be lower than Upamecano's and not so sure Upamecano will rise as he's currently out injured.

United outfield U21s:

Retsos (20/87) Konate (19/85) Sarr (20/87) Tierney (21/87)
Berge (21/86) Baku (20/82)
Ünder (21/89) Mbappe (20/93) Vinicius (18/85)
Ünal (21/87)​

Not that great but gets slightly better when including 22-year-olds.

Elvedi (22/89) Christensen (22/90) Sarr (20/87) Tierney (21/87)
Zakaria (22/88) Dele (22/92)
Mbappe (20/93) Brandt (22/90) Ünder (21/89)
Ünal (21/87)
I imagine @green_smiley has the best U21 team - he even has a goalkeeper.

Seriously, your defence... damn. Zagadou will rise again at the end of the season but he doesn't play leftback anymore.
Assuming nothing bad happens, Zagadou and Bentancur will rise, hopefully Dembele too, and maybe Havertz

But the class 1997 will turn 22 this year. Hopefully my younger players will perform

Missed out more players. But that looks pretty strong. Only RB, CB and GK (don't have one) is less than 80. Don't have any top, top teenagers though (rating wise).

Damo and GS youth teams are rediculous.

As usual, I have a player sent off (Alaba) and 'drop points'. When other teams have a player sent off, they end up winning. Normally I'd be happy with a 2:2 draw against City but the sending off mechanics annoy me.

De Gea (95)

Stones (91) Ramos (95) Boateng (93) Alaba (93)
Dele (92) Pogba (93)
Eriksen (93)⚽ Kroos (95)➕➕ Sterling (93)⚽
Griezmann (95)

Subs: Roberto (91), Christensen (90), Kovacic (91), Brandt (90), Goretzka (91), Martial (90), Mbappe (93)
Injured: Kimmich (92)
Did not travel: Gaya (90) Cech (89)

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


Next three games:
MD07: Barnsley (H)
CCGG4: Leipzig (H)
LSR1: Newcastle United (A)

I don't mind, I was just thinking its not overly fair for the lads at the end of the draft who really wont have much left to pick due to all the TBs. I was being thoughtful.

No point drafting out my old QPR till there’s more choice. A lot of the decent players are TB’d and id rather see them back in circulation at smaller sides then lost to all
