Was hoping to neutralize Blackburn's playmaker on the right by playing both Lahm and Chiellini on the left but couldnt as I had to rest Pique last moment. Could be the decisive thing in the game.

Seething.

62% possession.

20 shots on goal. 9 on target vs 6 shots and 2 on target. 8 corners vs 0 corners.

and i draw via an 85th min equalizer. fecking ridiculous.

Great result for me! Debut goal for Godin! Villa and West Brom lose. 2 more tough games, Chelsea and Bolton. Bit of an easier run left on paper then.


In other news, draft title is virtually mine. Unless I get spanked in my last 2 games and Bayern score a few and win their games.

£11m?! You rejected less than that from me when he was 89 rated!
That's the way it goes. I could have started a bidding war, but I wanted a quick sale and I gave Levo first dibs anyways. He was surplus, I have Diego costa, Dembele won't rise until around end of season (if at all, spurs need CL football I'd say). Dembele also lost his versatility and can only play through middle where there are good options, if he left left mid he may have held a better value. He'd also be close to gaining concerns again.

I was happy, that's all that matters.

You should be fine. 5 point gap over the relegation zone with the teams below unmanaged. You do have a few tough games left though.

In other news, looks like Pogba isn't going to rise before the Spurs game :( Still 7 teams left to be reviewed. He'll probably make his first league start against QPR instead.

Well I just lost to a cpu team in the relegation zone, so I'm not that confident...

Why did Vidal rise today? So unfair. If the rest of Juve's players don't rise tomorrow, I will be angry - and I know that Juve most likely won't be reviewed for another couple of days.

At least he lost the ability to play fullback.

Siem de Jong and Mathieu Valbuena signed for Wolves. I can now field a 91 average team, although my defense is still a bit poor, only 3 defenders and no cover at all. If one gets injured I'm fecked.

That rise to Vidal still annoys me so much. I see a few other people have been trying to get players reviewed earlier by changing their position but it has been unsuccessful.

Looks like Milan and Juventus are the only two clubs left to be reviewed so they should be done tomorrow.

A huge three days for me:

15 Sep - Division 1 - Tottenham Hotspur (A)
16 Sep - Champs Cup QF Leg 1 - Chelsea (A)
17 Sep - League Shield Final - Liverpool (N)

My last five away league games:

08 Aug - Derby County - lost 2-1
18 Aug - Nottingham Forest - won 2-1
25 Aug - Everton - lost 2-0
01 Sep - Wolves - drew 1-1
08 Sep - Portsmouth - won 3-0

Your last five home league games:

11 Aug - Derby County - won 2-0
15 Aug - Nottingham Forest - drew 1-1
22 Aug - Everton - won 2-0
29 Aug - Wolves - won 2-1
05 Sep - Portsmouth - won 2-0

This game is only going to end one way.
