Fed up of this stupid game not saving my tactics. For some reason Kimmich played the second half up top according to the 2D match engine. 0:0 draw v Chelsea and now back in the relegation zone as Liverpool LOST to Plymouth. Unbeaten streak continues.
Happy with a 2:2 draw away to Sunderland. Bale managed to get sent off despite playing just the second half. @Mciahel Goodman - Brandt assisted a goal on his first game back from injury.
So teams that have played Birmingham and MK Dons so far:
Birmingham only
(08) Arsenal
(09) Norwich City
(16) Plymouth Argyle
(04) Tottenham Hotspur
MK Dons only
(07) Darlington 1883
(17) Everton
(11) Liverpool (drew)
(15) Manchester City
Both (seems to be a trend with the teams here)
(06) Aston Villa
(05) Barnsley
(02) Newcastle United
(01) Nottingham Forest
(12) Reading (lost vs Birmingham)
(03) Southend United
Yet to play either
(14) Bournemouth
(10) Chelsea
(18) Manchester United
(13) Sunderland
So, @green_smiley has best chance of being top of the league come the halfway point. If @CrackersJr or @The Taurean are then they'll have a good chance of the title. @Big-Red is the only one in the top 6 with a game against one of the bottom two so he has three "free" points already, and with games against all three of the teams above him (two at home) he can control his destiny.
So Declan Rice is 77 rated 18 year old CB valued at 700k even after appearing in 9 Prem games so far (+300 mins), yet Reece Oxford last season (entire season not only half way) played 7 games (200-250 minutes) and has 180 minutes in the bundesliga, yet despite being rated the same is valued at 1.8 mil...
How do they chose to value players like that so differently? Is one under valued or the other over valued?

With City beating Spurs and Everton beating Plymouth that round of fixtures couldn't have gone much worse for me. Now, if Plymouth end up beating City and I draw or lose v Darlington, my negligible chances of survival become 0.
Remember the playing concern review is tomorrow. Only player of mine that should get a concern is Perin and he'll be sold once his transfer ban expires.
