Hi everyone!
I'm @carita-feliz and Macnuggets fc on the Scorum League. Today I'll be posting my team and my predictions for GW 4. (Due to being late I won't be posting my predictions for Tuesday)
Currently I'm sitting on place 15th on the Scorum league. The same as postion as during last gameweek. I thought an score of 50 would mean a higher position but I was wrong..
This will be my team for GW4
Due to last GW results I think players from BVB and Ajax should be a priority.
Ajax got 7 points in the first 3 GW and their strongest opponent is a weakened FC Bayern.
BVB on other hand got 9 points and after their game against Atleti they will have 2 straightforward games against a Monaco in disarray and Brugge.
Another team with potential is Roma, should they beat CSKA they'll be most likely be going through
Team selection
Keepers:
Manuel Neuer Roman Bürki: Neuer has been doing a good job so far, however BVB has yet to concede 1 goal in the UCL. Bürki is cheaper than Neuer and he'll have easier games. This also solves my problem of 2 keepers playing at the same day!
Robin Olsen: Sweden's #1 did better than Neuer last GW, should Bürki concede a goal he'll be subbed in tomorrow!
Defenders:
Joshua Kimmich: offensive defender from FC Bayern, Bayern might be having a tough moment, but Kimmich has a lot of potential
Alex Telles: So far a bit underwhelming, has a lot of potential due to Porto being a defensive team. He's got 1 assist as well
Thomas Meunier: PSG might have problems keeping a clean sheet against their tough rivals, but Meunier is very offensive. So far he's got 2 assist and a goal, which is a lot for a defender
Kyle Walker: So far a bit underwhelming, was a victim of Pep's rotation during last game against Shakthar, but unlike Varane he wasn't injured and City has a big chance of going through
Raphael Varane Nicolas Tagliafico: replacing Varane comes Nico Tagliafico. An argentinian defender who has so far been decent. I think his 2 goals are an outlier. However Ajax will have one easy fixture and if they tie against Benfica they should go through
Midfielders:
Axel Witsel: He delivered last GW with a goal, now at 4% he is still a differential. He is a great option into BVB for those who can't afford Reus
Lasse Schöne: I'm confident he'll deliver. Has so far played all games for Ajax and should have plenty of time to score or assist if Ajax ties against Benfica
Coutinho: Second GW in a row without Messi, he should deliver against Inter as well.
Marlos: Might not even play due to injury, I considered changing my keeper and Varane a priority. If he's available for GW5 he should deliver, as he is one of Shakthar's best assets.
Raheem Sterling: He destroyed Southhampton last Sunday and played the whole game. High chance he will rest on Wednesday. However City plays at home and at home they tend to improve
Strikers:
Daniel Sturridge: I expected him to play as Firmino played on Saturday. What I didn't expect was Crvena Zvezda to win
Ousmane Dembele: 2 blanks in a row as a consequence of the rotations. He might leave in January. Didn't expect him to be getting less play time, due to Arthur playing so great. Might be looking to replace him for the next GW
Harry Kane: Tottenham's best player and my captain for this GW. Tottenham should be motivated enough to beat PSV, otherwise it's pretty much over for them.
Predictions
Benfica 1- 1 Ajax
Man City 3 - 1 Shakthar
Lyon 2 - 1 Hoffenheim
Plzen 0 - 1 Real Madrid
CSKA 1 - 2 Roma
Juve 2 - 1 Man Utd
