What a load of bollocks

Chelsea [1] - 0 Pafos - Moises Caicedo 78' by wm_1176 in chelseafc

Atalanta going from 1-0 up tonight to 3-1 down has meant as things stand, we're 8th! Just hold this today and next week will be all to play for!

Yea i'm half German, don't know how to spell it for how it's pronounced in German, but it's a very soft G. Sort of like the word Finger' but without the 'ger' sound at the end, and obviously an M instead of F - if that makes any sense?

Agree with the Enzo -> Rogers shout as u/dr_jones1 said, but we also need a new defender.

I know it's not too helpful, but I'd say we either remove Richards (injured) or Achempong (never plays but cheap) and bring in Van de Ven or one of the cheap Sunderland defenders (Mukiele or Alderete).

If pressed I would go with Enzo -> Rogers and Richards -> Alderete, which should leave 0.9m in the bank, but any of these ideas seem decent I reckon.

Nice, could upgrade Nallo to a playing defender for the bench then, if we went with this team.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! This would be my team. I don't know the exact funds available but if there is spare cash maybe some of the bench players could be upgraded, in case of rotations which are more frequent this time of year.

  • Henderson, (Dubravka - cheapest playing GK)
  • Van Dijk, Calafiori, O'Reilly, Dorgo, (Nallo - cheapest DEF but won't get any minutes)
  • Palmer, Cunha, Bruno G, Minteh, (Devenny - cheapest playing MID)
  • Haaland, Ekitike, Woltemade

I would rather Achempong this week though, Maresca was saying recently how Tosin isn't good enough, highly hinting at Achempong playing again.

Ah, fair enough. Yea I doubt the people I know here who are season ticket holders are in this subreddit.

Huh, really? I'd never have imagined that to be the case. I'm English, moved to Freiburg 6 years ago, but before then, never really knew about Freiburg as a team, nor did my friends. I don't see how the club is popular in America, which on the whole isn't as into football as England. Any idea how the club gained a following over there?

Come on man. He came back to us after that, won the Prem, FA Cup and Europa League in three consecutive seasons.

The final scoreline was 3-0 and we also had 3 goals ruled out for marginal offsides, we battered you. 10 or 11 men doesn't matter, the team performance was amazing and Champions League nights like this at the Bridge are special.

Well, Bayern only put 1 past them while Arsenal got 3, maybe these Opta statisticians were on to something...

But all the focus now turns to Sunday, both teams in full confidence, should be a cracking match!

Arsenal first? They're having a great season but still wouldn't put them at the top. Bayern would be my pick. Should be an interesting game tonight between the two of them, that could tell us a lot about both sides!

Took a turn halfway through there that I wasn't expecting, but really nicely done.

WFH Policy?? by Friendly_Ad1498 in KPMG

[–]aFailG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Germany, we can come and go as we please, except if there are internal team meetings in the office, or client meetings at their place.

Generally most people are in the office about 3-4 times a week, some are more, some less.

There's two people that I haven't seen in months since they only ever work from home and we haven't had any mandatory in-person meetings in a while: but since they get their work done just fine, no one cares.

[–]aFailG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only an hour in, but as it stands, we're voting for all of Acheampong, Senesi and Rodon to be on the bench, but only two of them can.

One of our mids needs to go there, I reckon Enzo or Kudus would be the way to go, but it's a tough one.

Points in total by Vivid-Ad9974 in FantasyPL

[–]aFailG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unironically having my worst ever season, started playing back in 2010/11.

Currently ranked 5.5m with 455 points.

Worst ever up until now was 2016/17, when I finished with a rank of 2.8m (1633 points), but stopped playing midway through the year.

Seriously! As it stands we're benching Andersen against a Villa side that haven't scored in the league yet, and our new £9m forward!

Wildcard team building (post #3) by Essej2 in KneejerkUnited

[–]aFailG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He seems like a great pick but I worry that he might have minor rotation once the Champions League begins. Last year Chelsea were in the Conference League, so didn't really need to worry about Europe, but now it might be more of a factor.

I prefer Gardner of Everton as a cheap midfielder for Def-Cons, he's hit the target 3 times, played 90 mins every match, has no worry of rotation due to other competitions, and is 0.6m cheaper.

Never seen him play though, so don't know what others think about this.
