Review system is a joke. Lallana goes up two to 90 (fair enough) but McCarthy who has played more minutes in that time and has been the cornerstone of an Everton team that has had their highest points haul in a long time doesn't get a ** increase to 90.

Azpilicueta is up to 91 though Damo. SO MANY OPTIONS!!!!

Awww it's alright Damo. I'll give you £10m for McCarthy to soften the blow.
 
Everton, Spurs and Fulham are being very rude, offers made on the 25th May!

Not good to have a go at teams you're potentially trying to do business with. Spurs in particular I've got nothing but good things to say from the business I've done with them.

That's a chance I'll take. They might actually respond now...

Don't be daft - especially if you play your first team again which I'm sure you will. That's something I won't be doing... especially as I usually do bad against you even when fielding my strongest side.

Why I have a good record against you is a mystery. I have no right to get a point, let alone to beat United. The team you played against Wolves had the rating of 90 which is only marginally weaker than my strongest team. If you're telling the truth and you intend to play this set of players, it's still pretty much a toss up. But it's the semis so I can't shake off the feeling we'll be seeing Ronaldo and Messi at least in the last half hour. Also let's not forget that you always predict some kind of apocalypse before every game.

With good reason. Have you seen where we are in the table?

It is the semis but right now the league is still the priority. To put out a strong side against you would mean sacrificing the two league fixtures either side (not that I'd win them with my strongest lineup anyway given my form) and it's not worth it. Cup and Shield is pretty unpredictable anyway so I'd rather take it to the coin flip and let SM decide.
 
Fair enough, that's a good point. Good luck, but I don't think you're going to catch the leaders since we've already passed the half way point. Sorry. :D

OptaDamo: Manchester City have 20 players rated 90+ compared to United's 13, yet City are just one point and one place ahead of United. Underachievers.

A 50 man squad cap should be imposed in the old league to combat player hogging.
