Well, okay... strictly speaking Griezmann and Boateng aren't but Mbappe and Griezmann are my only centre forwards and I've got a bit of a defensive injury crisis so had to play Boateng in the cup. Other than that, they're my second string :cool:

First string:

De Gea (95)

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

Second string

De Gea (95)

Retsos (87) Christensen (90) Stones (91) Gaya (91)
Kovacic (91) Goretzka (91)
Sancho (90) -- Dele (92) -- Brandt (90)
N/A​

Hope is Elvedi hits 90 by the end of the Bundesliga season and either Sancho or Pulisic get a position change to include F(C) but that is unlikely.

UPMR = United Player Minutes Ranking (out of 42)
CR = Club Ranking in their respective league

Disclaimer: Minutes only take the league into account. A few play in other competitions which might also be taken into account when SM do their ratings.

Konate's injury came at the worst possible moment. Elvedi deserves a rise and Brandt is doing immense in his position change for Dortmund the past few weeks or so but is too soon for any rise for him.

Nice rise for Sensi, I have too many midfielders now. Willing to trade for attackers.

Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable.
Tonali deserved to rise but De Ligt didnt.

To put things in perspective vis Tonali, Hamed Traore didnt rise despite good game time and higher team position.

La Liga to be reviewed after Bundesliga. SM is so far behind. It also appears Denis Zakaria isn't going to rise if the 'Recent Changes' on SoccerWiki are any indication.

Surely Werner will get a rise? Maybe Ginter too.

I'll wait until tomorrow before posting my Bundesliga reviews. If Zakaria really isn't rising, I've got some choice words for SM.

@green_smiley didn't know you could get players with a rating of 2. There is no way Dembele will get a -1.
