That's a bit better!

Knoche + 2 to 87
Arnold + 3 to 86
Korb + 1 to 84
Brandt + 5 to 82
Dudziak + 1 to 76 (no idea why)

So judging by the lack of rise for Firmino, I probably shouldn't expect Leno to rise to 90. So my last German riser with therefore be Durm.

My cup squad for next season will be:

Karius (80)
Geis (85) Laporte (87) Spajic (85)
Knoche (85)
Bittencourt (85) Onazi (87) Thauvin (87) Mendy (87)
Aboubakar (86) Drmic (86)​

Karius (84)
Geis (87) Laporte (87) Mendy (87)
Knoche (87)
Firmino (89) Onazi (87) Thauvin (88) Durm (87)
Aboubakar (87) Drmic (87)

Only Laporte left to rise. Durm could maybe get a + 3 to 87 if that's the case, then he'll take Bittencourts place. Currently my Cup squad is 17 rating better off.​

Arnold, Knoche, Kramer, Kolasinac and Can all rising for me at West Ham.

Aye, you have a very good young squad at West Ham.

In other news, Lemina has been shown the door at Forest. He's done well for me at Forest, signed as a 77 rated talent and sold at 85. But with his limited playing time under the new Marseille boss it was time to cut my losses and go for new blood elsewhere.
 
Why Goretzka didn't have a position change is beyond me.

My cup squad for next season as it stands:

Boucher (85)*

Aurier (89) Zouma (88) Papadopoulos (89) Digne (88)

Pogba (90) McCarthy (89)

Lacazette (89) Eriksen (90) Markovic (88)

Balotelli (91)

*obviously going to play de Gea instead though.​
 
I'm slowly catching you up! :p

Do you think Drmic might get a rating rise considering he's now at Leverkusen? I know in the past SM have given rises to players who've joined bigger clubs. :fingers crossed:

Yes.

3-0 win for me against Newcastle in the new league. 7 points clear with 8 games to go and Manchester United have the harder fixtures.

Haha! For second league game in a row, subs work in my favour. Replacing Benzema with Willems is madness.

Beat Spurs 2-1 - with 352!

This is the side I put out:

Due to injuries/fitness it was pretty weak overall.

Now... whether to do 4231 or 352 for the game against Hull... hmm
 
Just to show you guys what you're up against.

Here's my new tool ready for next season. It auto populates and allows me to scroll through all of my players. The graphs records the percentage of mins played in the season.

In new league, title will either go to Spurs or United. Other teams are too far behind.

Spurs' remaining league fixtures (italics = unmanaged team, brackets represent position of team)
[A] Norwich City (16th - Spurs won reverse fixture 2-0)
[H] West Bromwich Albion (18th - drew reverse fixture 1-1)
[A] Manchester United (2nd - Spurs won reverse fixture 2-1)
[H] Everton (14th - drew reverse fixture 2-2)
[A] Chelsea (3rd - Spurs won reverse fixture 5-2)
[H] Swansea City (10th - Spurs won reverse fixture 1-0)
[A] Crystal Palace (19th - Spurs won reverse fixture 2-0)
[H] Sunderland (11th - Spurs won reverse fixture 6-2)

United's remaining league fixtures
[H] Sunderland (11th - United won reverse fixture 3-0)
[A] Arsenal (6th - drew reverse fixture 2-2)
[H] Tottenham Hotspur (1st - United lost reverse fixture 2-1)
[A] Liverpool (8th - United won reverse fixture 3-0)
[H] Manchester City (4th - United won reverse fixture 2-1)
[A] Stoke City (20th - United won reverse fixture 2-0)
[H] West Ham United (5th - United won reverse fixture 3-2)
[A] Southampton (13th - drew reverse fixture 4-4)

United play five teams in the top 8 in their remaining games while Spurs face just two. United also face just one unmanaged side to Spurs' four.

Neuer up to 95. Bit pointless but happy with that I guess.
