If Merino is going to get consistent minutes at ST (can’t believe I’ve just written that) we could very well see him needing support in the form of central runners, and as long as the attacking injuries are still there it’s going to have to be Rice/Ode (or a mixture of both)

He’s still a fine hold and unless the funds unlocks something for 29 (City-assets and such) I would just keep him and hope for him to tick along (which I think he probably will).

Still a bit unclear about how we’re going to set up in the immediate future and I’d rather wait and see.

Jesus I completely misunderstood then, didn’t realise you already owned him.

Definitely wouldn’t move him to Nwaneri, don’t think he’s THAT much better and I’d value a FT way higher at this time of the season.

-depends on when you wildcard as well I presume, if you’re planning on going later than the 30/31-window then I can understand Odegaard more

Might be a bit swayed and letting my supportership affect too much but Øde has looked off it for some time now, and he still isn’t very involved in the final actions.

I’d be wary of our attack as a whole tbh but I genuinely think Nwaneri/Trossard are both better options.

If you want to go for an Arsenal attacker it surely has to be Nwaneri.

No pens of course and worse xMins (but I think he pretty much has to start for now) but yesterday he looked like the only competent player in the squad, he takes inswinging corners and is great for bonus.

Will also take a moment to ensure that Sir Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal gets the salutation he deserves from last GW, love you mate.

He is given a tactical rest on the bench this time out, could well end up filling in if the Amad-rumours are legit.

I’ve just shed a tear.

So amazing to have you back! Have been missing these matchup-graphics like crazy.

A good majority are just focusing on the wrong arm as opposed to full-on denial tbf.

The Grass FC, force of nature, underlying numbers-defying Chris Wood is balanced out by the exact opposite of DCL, who defies logic and goes by fugazi-xG. Hopefully these forces accept each other and create a beautiful harmony.

I'll second this, there's been som genuine murmurings from a few accounts - some more reliable than others.

Wouldn't go out of your way to fix it becuase we won't know how serious it is even if he's out, but maybe something to at least have in mind.

Honestly like the shout given they’ve got spurs (H) this week, just not sure I want to commit to DCL specifically before 24

Think a forbidden GK-move is more likely, whether Pickford or someone like Sels.

A week too early perhaps but want to keep the outfield spots as open as possible

Might be there you know.

Think an Everton-player is on the cards one way or another.
