Do you think United review is over? Was hoping for Rashford to rise

Yes. Was done all in one go yesterday.

Damien · Jan 26, 2020

3:0 win against City. Really happy with that, especially as I didn't have Griezmann in squad due to him being at 91% fitness (too low for me).

De Gea (93)

Boateng (91)↓ Ramos (95) Kimmich (94) Alaba (93)
Brandt (91)↓ Kroos (95)
Eriksen (94)

-- Pogba (93)

↓ -- Sterling (94)

Mbappe (94)

Subs: Stones (91), Christensen (90)↑, Gaya (91), Goretzka (91), Kovacic (91)↑, Dele (92)

↑, Sancho (91)
Did not travel: Griezmann (95), Retsos (87), Vinicius Jr (87)

Key:

= Goal

= Assist
= MOTM
↓ = Subbed off
↑ = Subbed on

Next three games:
LSR4: Leyton Orient (A)

MD20: Fulham (H)
MD21: Ipswich Town (A)

My squad for next season is looking like this at the moment (position designation according to the colour codes on SM, so even though I mostly play Alaba and Kimmich as defenders, they're classed as midfielders):

Enzo joins Wolves on loan with option to buy. Good transfer that one as Dijon FCO stopped playing him as the Manager is a dummy.

Elliot not rising? Didn't expect anything massive but 67 is a joke for a player who has actually got game time for Liverpool this season. Did they forget he exists?

Open for new entries

Race to 90 (III)

Criteria

Player age: 18 or below

Player rating: 78 or below

Once your pick is made, you cannot change it

Managers and players must remain with their original club to stay eligible for the race

Due date: 10 Apr 2019 (Wed), 9am BST

Jeremie Frimpong just missed out by turning 19 in December. I think it is probably too soon for a fourth one at the moment (though I would say that as I've only got three players eligible and one is in Rt90(III)).

Damien · Jan 28, 2020

Still kicking myself over not picking Dest for v3. I would have won it easily unless Dest stalled like VJ has.

Damien · Jan 28, 2020

3:0 win away to Division 5 high-flyers Leyton Orient. Next Shield round I'm away to United-lite Mansfield Town.

Kovacic (91) Goretzka (91)

Vinicius Jr (87)

Subs: Boateng (91)

↑, Maresic (83), Disasi (82), Baku (83), Pogba (93)↑, Alzate (82), Griezmann (95)

↑
Did not travel: Ramos (95), Kroos (95), Kimmich (94), Eriksen (94), Mbappe (94), Sterling (94), Alaba (93)

Spoken like someone who has a 19-year-old player about to rise rapidly

But yeah, U80 rated will probably get more participants.

Nah, wasn't even thinking about him. Would be ineligible anyway as he'll be returning home eventually before he hits 90 unless you want to keep him a bit longer.

Milan have made a bid for Matias Viña. Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck. Literally any other team come in for him, please. Theo Hernandez has been the best LB in Serie A ffs, he'd never play.

Leyton Orient January transfers so far:

Emanuel Vignato - Chievo -> Bologna (loaned back until summer)
Lennart Czyborra - Heracles -> Atalanta
Radoslaw Majecki - Legia -> Monaco (loaned back until summer)
Halil Dervisoglu - Sparta Rotterdam -> Brentford
Gonzalo Villar - Elche -> Roma (imminent)

Lots of rumors as well.
