Another round of Champions League is front of us, and I hope previous round was successful for you. We had some surprises, and some players didn't fulfill their expectations. Take Salah for instance, he only get two points, and he was pick for lot of people. But, the man of the round was Leo Messi! The Barcelona magician, score hat-trick against PSV and earned 14 points. Luckily for me, he was my pick but what is more important, I pick him for captain also, so that is 28 points for me. I had trouble by picking Mandy in start squad as well as C.Bravo. Both of them didn't play at all, so just nine players bring me some points. Barcelona back Umtiti, got red, but he was on the bench in my crew, so that was good for me also. The bad thing is he can't play now, so I needed to react.
The first round was solid for me. I manage to gather 69 points, which is not so bad, in matter of fact, it is much better than lot of other people gathered.
For this upcoming round, my team needs some improvements and I need to make some subs and transfers. You can see my Matchday#1 team here.
First of all, I need to get rid of Bravo and Mandy for now, cause they will not play in second round as well. On the bench I had "red" Umtiti, which also is not able to play. M. Borjan the Red Star keeper, performed well against Napoli but now, he will not keep his net safe against Neymar and friends. I expect to concede somewhere about 3-4 goals so also he is good for change in this moment. Also Isco suffered some minor surgery, and he will be out of squad for at least 3 weeks.
Because you have only 2 free transfers per round, I must sacrifice some points. I need at least 4-5 transfers here.
My transfers:
Out: Borjan, Mendy, Umtiti, Isco,
In: Ulreich, Marcelo, Pique, R.Sanches
And again, I think that I made a mistake by picking Ulreich but f..k it now. Because of recent transfers, I lose some points, but it was really necessary transfers. I also though to use wildcard but it is just too early for that. Thinking to use it in period between third and fourth round. Also I needed to change my formation and adjust it to available players. So now I play with 5-3-2 instead of 4-4-2. The good thing is, I saved 2.5m for next transfer round :)
How will this team perform? I don't know, hoping to the best, at least to earn 50 points.
