Please double-check your lineups to make sure each player/asst manager is assigned to his team. And please double-check for any duplicate names especially if you intend to make some changes or rotations this round.

Nooooo Z! Not one of my. keepers!!! I only have 2. What do I do for my backup?
GG Gooner! Thanks Z.

You sign a third GK at the window.

It used to be that teams could get by routinely with 2 GKs because they’d never get hurt but FM has made them fair game now.

In the meantime, throw your tallest motherfucker at it on your bench.

I actually had to double-check you attached the right tac. 😂 I could’ve told you as I was setting this up how it was PROB going to go for Tobol (unless FM wanted to fuck me).

I know it worked for AZ for a time, but Abraham & all his talents will not be able to recreate that Osimhen magic on his own.

I’ve loved tournaments like these as long as I can remember, but honestly, especially since 2014 World Cup, when I watch them, I’m mainly interested in following my players, more than rooting any country, in particular.

While four injuries in a match for a single team is a bit much, I’m encouraged by the fact that a goalkeeper suffered an injury, even if it was a minor one. I can’t remember the last injury to a keeper but I’m sure it was once in a single season and maybe a year or two ago. Keepers have been far too immune in our league because of the way we operate. As a result, some teams only carry two goalkeepers. It would be nice to see even them even occasionally have to endure the same things that affect the rest of the team, for the sake of realism.

Thanks Zizou! Always enjoy reading these.

Wimmer’s loan ended last season and Rijkhoff was traded, but I appreciate the kind words nonetheless

Copied and pasted from last season. Fixed!

Thank you so much, James.

We only have time to sim the remaining two teams submitted, which I’ll do soon.

And then the writeups will be posted, banner updated and the first round lineup call.

GOOD LUCK!
