I didn’t know it would create extra work… in that case you should wait it out and we can chill. Or we get someone to take over his team! I think we had a GM from last year that wanted in. Maybe we can make a coaching change!
It’s not a significant amount of extra work. Today at lunch I set up the league and FA Cup and will run a sim after work today https://www.the-mainboard.com/index.php?threads/2023-tsb-sim-league.184303/
ok fine your commentary shamed me into it: Tah to CB Ginter to reserves for FA Cup only and while we're at it let's put Akanji in at CB and Tomori to the bench for FA Cup as well I'll do some lineup changes for UCL matches as well, at least the ones against CPU opponents. I saw the groups but do we have a schedule of who we play when?
Ah that’s right I have 2 other user teams in my group. Will see how the first couple of matches go and decide from there
Defending Style: Balanced Width: 50 Depth: 50 Offense Build Up Play: Balanced Chance Creation: Balanced Width: 50 SugarShaun can you make these changes?
For sim will probably aim for 9:30ish EDT or 10:45ish to hit between the United match and 10AM EPL matches or halftime of those 10AM ones.
SugarShaun a few further changes to FA Cup: Palhinha to CDM Kante to bench Lemar to LCM Romero to RCB Tah to bench Also for UCL Romero to RCB Ginter to bench Lemar to LM Solomon to bench Grimaldo to reserves
SugarShaun a few changes: For League: Berardi at RM, Rafa to bench Lemar at LCM, Gomez to bench For UCL: Berardi at RM, Rafa to bench Lemar at LCM, Grimaldo to LM Rafa to bench, Solomon to reserves
SugarShaun For league, with the Robertson injury can I try taking Laimer and Coates off, putting Mavropanos in at middle CB and Savic in at RCB in a three at the back formation, and Spinazzola and Clauss in at wingbacks for my injured/suspended duo? I think it’s the 5-2-2-1 formation, which should keep the front five in the same positions.
SugarShaun saw you liked it - I edited to keep my lineup legal (Mavropanos for Coates in the middle, Savic at RCB)
With how far into the season we are and especially since it’s 2 forced changes, absolutely do not feel like that is necessary so just confirm if you still want to make that change with that in mind
Yeah, other than for suspensions I’ll still try to stay with the original set up and I’ll want to keep the alignment for as long as Robertson is out at least. I want to see how this does, may swap Carvajal and Coates back in for Savic and Clauss unless I ship five next time out would not auto sub Carvajal back into the starting lineup
by my count that’s 5 in all competitions. for UCL please put Fabinho at LCM and Lemar to the bench, and then make Fabinho my PK taker I’ll figure out what to do in league later. It will take some thinking because I’d feel dirty putting another PL player in my starting lineup
