Unbeaten? I felt the same when my 17 game run ended - it was after I sold RVP and Ozil which made it worse as I was kinda reluctant to trade them as I didn't want my run to end and felt that selling them would be the end of it, and it was.

Cracking pair of updates for me, Wilshere & Lamela rise to 91's. Bertrand Traore also rose by 2, shame I missed out on Chadli as he got bumped to an 89 the day after the transfer!
Wilshere's rise is crazy given he seems to be injured half of the time.
Hoping the rises to de Gea and Rafael come in before Sunday's game. Shouldn't be far away, anyway, given they're reviewing Arsenal and some of Chelsea's players.

Rafael to 91, de Gea to 91 and Rekik to 82... I'm very happy with this set of reviews. Just a shame Carrick didn't rise, but it was always unlikely to happen anyway.
That's pretty much my first team squad done apart from Pogba and Sandro. I expect Pogba to rise to 89 (hopefully before next Sunday but it's doubtful) and Sandro to rise to 90.
My first team squad now:
Goalkeeper
de Gea (91)
Defenders
Rafael (91)
Aurier (87)
Ramos (95)
Vidic (94)
Papadopoulos (89) -- can play in centre midfield and does occasionally
Reyes (87)
Sandro (89)
Digne (88)
Midfielders
Bale (93)
Isco (91) -- can play in centre midfield and does occasionally
Gotze (93) -- can play on wing and does occasionally
Carrick (92)
Bender (91) -- can play on wing and right back and does occasionally
Eriksen (90)
McCarthy (88)
Pogba (87)
Forwards
Ronaldo (99) -- can play on wing and does occasionally
Messi (98)
Balotelli (91)
Michu (90) -- can play in centre midfield and does occasionally
Castaignos (87)
My 85-87 rated youth on loan on the verge of making it to the first team if they rise again:
Arsenal (4th) - Coventry City (19th)
Everton (9th) - Blackburn Rovers (13th)
Liverpool (14th) - Chelsea (6th)
Manchester City (2nd) - Fulham (17th)
Newcastle United (8th) - Tottenham Hotspur (3rd)
Nottingham Forest (7th) - Aston Villa (11th)
Portsmouth (20th) - Manchester United (1st)
West Bromwich Albion (10th) - Middlesbrough (12th)
Wolverhampton Wanderers (16th) - Bolton Wanderers (5th)
I expect three of the current top four to win their games, with the Spurs game being the one that could go either way.
After tonight's game I've got Newcastle and Spurs followed by Liverpool in the Shield then QPR, Chelsea and Bolton. Tonight's game is a must win for me as I'm going to struggle to get points in all of those.
I'm worried with my current run of fixtures. I think I'll keep slipping down the table here. Villa only 7 points behind in 11th. If I throw away a European place, it will be a failure of a season after starting off pretty well.
