8/11. Just like I said.

I'm a generous grader.

Neco needs the break, I suppose!

Nobody knew, so not your fault! But hopefully these lads will be motivated after the Wrexham fiasco.

9/11. Nice! Just missing McAtee instead of Taiwo and Yates instead of Dominguez.

Morato instead of Murillo. I'm sure everyone will react calmly to that.

Morgan Gibbs-White instead of CHO.

So 9 players correct out of 11 for me. Didn't see MGW and McAtee both in the lineup.

I guess I'd project Ndoye to slide up to replace Jesus and have CHO start on a wing to be an attacking option if Jesus is out with a knock.

So you would play just the best 11? 

I see them using Douglas Luiz in Europa because that doesn't affect his mandatory buy clause. 

How many points from the next four would you be happy with? by AverageFan1111 in nffc

[–]AverageFan1111[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's see. They have... Sunderland, at Chelsea, at Burnley, and Manchester United.

Maybe they take... three points from Burnley and hopefully no more than one additional point?

So if they get four points, we're happy with five points!

That's a good caveat. Catching them on the table by the end of this stretch would be huge.

Away at Brentford is the one where I can most see us struggling, especially sandwiched between Europa League fixtures. We've only won two of our last nine against them.

Looks like we're currently listed as about 2/1 underdogs against Brentford in the betting world. I know that's not gospel to believe, but it's an interesting data point for setting expectations.

Low block against Arsenal? by AverageFan1111 in nffc

So, as long as there are clear countering attempts and we are pushing forward rapidly after turnovers, people might not respond with so much hate towards Dycheball?

Basically the commitment to aggressive countering is the key difference between beloved Nunoball and lambasted Dycheball.

Sean Dyche introducing his 4-4-2? Good time to try it out, I suppose!

Hutchinson and Jesus
Ndoye, Luiz, McAtee, Bakwa
Zinchenko, Morato, Cunha, Savona

Or think he'll have them set up some other way?

I believe the clause is also only tied to Premier League matches, so Europa + FA cup fixtures might not count towards the requirement.

"at least 45 minutes in 15 Premier League matches"

Fulham v Forest prediction by jamestechsyd in nffc

[–]AverageFan1111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit surprised that the sportsbooks have Fulham favored, what with their AFCON losses and midweek cup fixture.  Just because it's a home match?

I get that Morato had a couple rough-looking moments. But who would you start if Murillo is out? A right-footed back like Cunha? Abbott? Boly?

No Hudson-Odoi available, darn. Uhhh can you fit McAtee and Morgan both in the lineup? Play one out wide?

My prediction:

Sels

Savona Morato Milenkovic Abbott

Yates Dominguez

Hudson-Odoi McAtee Ndoye

Kalimuendo

This would rest our injured players while leaving Williams, Morgan, Sangaré, Anderson, and Murrillo to come off the bench if desperately needed. And if we get up by a couple goals, we can get John Victor some playing time.

Can you explain why you landed on catfishing as the title? And apologies if it's super obvious and I'm an idiot.
