This will be my formation then, hopefully Geis, Fabinho and Wendell goes up 1 so I get a bit more cover. I'm pretty relieved I got Xhaka in otherwise i'd be struggling a bit!

Cant you still play a 3-5-2?

--Marquinhos-N'kolou-Laporte
-----------Matuidi-------
-Schurrle-Firmino-Xhaka-Jovetic
------Neymar-Lewa

All our in their natural positions.

Nope. the midfield 4 is along line 6 and therefore require DM's or M's. Schurrle and Jovetic are AMs and can only be played on line 7 & 8.


So to make this clear... (using your players).

Line 9 = Ibra, Higuain, Gomez, Costa, Calhan, Kane, Anderson
Line 8 = Ibra, Higuain, Gomez, James, Thiago, Naing, Costa, Calhan, Kane, Anderson
Line 7 = Ibra, James, Thiago, Naing, Costa, Calhan, Kane, Anderson
Line 6 = Hummels, James, Thiago, Naing, Rafael, Wanyama, Sciglio, Ginter, Imula
Line 5 = Same as Line 6 (so stupid)

However, the only wingers you have who can play on lines 6 & 5 are - Rafael, Sciglio

Bench:- Kane, Anderson, Calhanoglu, Ginter, Wanyama, Imbula and Tolisso.

Think I will be ok. I've already changed formation and all players will be suitable for their position. Problem will be injuries, hopefully Mustafi gets a rise soon, and that wI'll give me decent defensive cover and CM as I can move Javi up and Strootman as an option too. My only weakness will be Berardi and Belerabi possibly starting if I get a few forward injuries.

I spoke too early here!

He's never got below a 7.00 average rating in a season but he's only ever scored double digits once in a season, when he played for United in season 3. He's done well for Chelsea in terms of assists in recent seasons (double digits two out of the last three seasons) but they've still struggled in the league.

My aim will be to get him back to double digits in terms of scoring. Won't be easy but managed to do it twice with Nasri so...
Özil ended his first season back home with 11 goals and 13 assists in 28 appearances - with an average rating of 7.79

Incredible.

Navas is a somewhat spectacular keeper isn't he? Maybe i should watch Real more.

Sigh. I curse yee Jose, CURSE YEE!

Hoping for more dropped points but without Benteke Liverpool might struggle to score. They need Firmino to step up and be a goal threat today, will be interesting to see how he does up top.
