    Trent (madrid bound ?) Hamstring injury - 75% chance of playing, could miss the international "break" ?

    City losing 4th game in a row...

    If only Arsenal could have got a few more wins in this period, and the pressure would have been greater on City. Looks like Liverpool are really close to getting a few fingers on the title though.

    Palmer starts
    Odegaard, Rice fit to start

    Another bad game by Arsenal. This is really turning into a nothing kind of season…

    Liverpool certainly in the driving seat, if other teams don't sort themselves out quickly is could be a cake walk for Liverpool.

    These internationals are so boring compared to the EPL........... 8-|

    There are going to be a lot of games being played in december, maybe too many ?

    Agree my interest in the Nations League is low, this season the international games feel more of a unwelcome distraction than usual, I just hope none of Man United's players get injured especially with a new manager ready to star, I want Ruben to hit the ground running.

    When's Tuchel starting ?

    Ruud did well but he got "sacked" too didn't he ? Maybe they should have kept him on as a forwards coach ?

    They even sacked Fergie as an ambassador for the club, last month i think ? I bet the Manu supporters weren't too happy about that ?

    The PGMOL has confirmed it is aware of a new video which appears to show suspended PL referee David Coote snorting a white powder while reportedly working at Euro 2024.

    Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham are reported to have lodged legal notices reserving the right to claim compensation if Manchester City are found to have breached Premier League financial rules.

    England started very well Watkins scores in the 6th minute after some great work on the flank from Madueke.

    Madueke causes chaos in the oppositions box great backup for Saka, I really can't see Sancho or Rashford getting back into this England squad anytime soon.

    2 - 0 Bellingham good away win this will be for England, just over 10 minutes left.

    3 - 0 superb goal from Curtis Jones.

    According to reports Pogba will be training at Carrington until he finds a new club, a few United fans are saying give him a short term contract lol

    The romanticism in me always wanted him to do well on his day Pogba was a world beater, the last person who trained at Carrington until he found a new club was Evans.

    Nothing ever surprises me with United if he some how proved his fitness.

    The international break and lack of club football made me forget to check how our league did in gameweek 11! Anyway, here's a late look at the gameweek. Despite a very average gameweek score of 49 points, the points scored in our league varied greatly, from below 30 points to over 80. Only one team managed a gameweek score that impressive though; finishing the gameweek with impressive 82 points was Liverpool Richmond. Congratulations! =D>

    Madueke already causing problems to IRL, Madueke reminds me off Doku he cuts through defenses very easily.

    Credit to Carsley England have been dynamic, fast tempo with a good high press the last two games its been entertaining. Tuchel takes over after tonight...

    The game has turned into a scrappy derby, England got progressively frantic as the half wore on.

    4 - 0 Bowen scores soon as he arrives on the pitch.

    5 - 0 not even sure who scored, ten men IRL are getting battered.

    Angel Gomes who has not featured recently comes on with 10 minuses to go, England have ridiculous strength in depth.

    Got to give Carsley credit he has given game time to a lot of young players.

    Been a while since I looked at my team, I know I have 2 free transfer and I am tempted to switch from Haaland to Salah and sell Dias in the process as he has done nothing in the league and sometimes does not even start.

    Had a break from everything football related myself, so I need to have a look at my team before the deadline. I really want to make a transfer this gameweek, but I might just as easily save it, team news depending.

    I have the weekend off so will wait until the last minute to decide what to do. My team this season has hardly changed being playing way too safe and not gaining much ground.

    Yes it's a guessing game this FPL especially Haaland as he is so expensive it limits your budget to buy more expensive/better players in other positions as there are less funds left.

    But if you sell him he might get a bundle of goals, with his record.

    City could easily batter Spurs at home so reluctant to sell this GW.

    Ouch! I was busy before the deadline and had just a few minutes to decide what to do. Pedro Porro > Lewis Hall for me; not the most exciting transfer, but one that had been on my mind throughout the week. Hope it works out.

    I usually works out ok when i miss it, on the plus side I have 3 free transfers for next time.

    Three free transfers can be very helpful in this period. I expect the number of games players are going through at the moment, we will see some injuries.
