    Interesting I sure hope Ole does not match that, Leicester clearly trying to patch up there leaky defence. United need to go 4123 our suited formation and go for it.

    Rogers knows they can't be leaky going into this game, so it's no surprise he makes some adjustments. It will be interesting to see how United approach this game.

    My gut instinct is Ole will be ultra cautious which will infuriate me lol A few have said Ole rely's on players individual brilliance rather than good tactics, today will go some way to answering that question.

    As far as I remember Ole's Molde team, it was the same case back then; he had some decent players that could get them the results they needed, but he wasn't an exceptional tactician really. Eliteserien isn't a league known for great tactics.

    Still not done anything lol I am frantically looking online for team news

    Edited: I have made my moves two attackers out, two attackers in and I am going for a surprise captain choice. Changing defenders felt like a sideways move and a waste so I abandoned that idea.

    I will reveal my team after the deadline...

    I'm still struggling with my transfers, haha! I hope we'll get some news before the deadline…

    Looking forward to seeing your team!

    Looking good! I acted on the Liverpool news as well, but I didn't dare take a -8 without confirmed news, so Alexander-Arnold is still in my starting eleven (Bench Boost played).

    Team:
    McCarthy
    Alexander-Arnold – Doherty – Aurier
    David Silva (C) – De Bruyne – Fernandes – Son
    Jesus – Greenwood – Rashford
    (Bench Boost: Foster – Stephens – Pieters – Richarlison)

    My plan involved keeping Salah, and at no point did I consider transferring him out, so late transfers for Richarlison and Son was just a complete panic move…

    For a bench Boost you have some good players there expect you to get a good haul. Robertson has assist potential otherwise I would have just left TAA, though I am concerned by my defence though looking at other fixture I cant see many clean sheets, I thought about Ederson though talked myself out of that move as I wanted Kane, I think he will get a haul against Palaces decimated defence plus there are rumours Hodgeson is getting sacked.

    Didn't know that Hodgson's job was in danger! Has it been covered by any reliable sources?

    I agree, I don't think we will see many clean sheets. I felt I had to make a change with Fernandéz out, though looking at that Liverpool lineup, who knows, maybe it will be a tighter game than we imagined (and that I should have kept Fernandéz instead, transferring out Alexander-Arnold…).

    If we hadn't got the Liverpool rotation news, my moves would have been Fernandéz and Hayden to Pieters and a 4.5-4.9 mid (Saka most likely, who is benched) – and Jesus to Kane. I would likely had captained Kane as well. It will be interesting to see if those moves would have worked out better than the ones I did.

    Hodgeson lost 7 in a row since restart, rumours Zaha is allowed to go. It has not been officially been clarified so no doubt we will see tomorrow. Though it prompted me to Captain Kane.

    I was initially thinking Burnley defence before my plans changed, though I really did not have a plan lol

    Yeah, it's not looking good, though they are safe from relegation (as usual). I keep thinking though, can anyone really do much better with that squad than Hodgson? Appointing Frank de Boer certainly didn't work out… Palace are really struggling wit their squad at the moment, so Sp*rs should win this game comfortably.

    I had Burnley in mind severeal gameweeks ago already, but I just haven't been able to make a move for Pope or one of the defenders before now. Counting on Pieters today!

    Agree Hodgeson has worked wonders, they don't really recruit top players.

    Almost kick off I am nervous for United, which United will turn up.

    Auba opens the score for Arsenal!

    I knew it was a good call to captain him, as he scored against Watford in his last 2 games against them!

    There are more issues to look at than to just move on Hodgson, that's for sure. He's been able to maximise what that team can do, IMO. With better players they should be top ten contenders.

    Nervously watching Arsenal myself. Stream is a bit behind though.

    Ooooh, a VAR decision going Arsenal's way (and correctly so). I can't believe it!

    Well played! Aubameyang is a good differential captain this gameweek.

    Here are the final captaincy picks of the season!
    Aubameyang: 4
    Salah: 4
    Sterling: 2
    Kane: 2
    Mané: 2
    van Dijk: 1
    De Bruyne: 1
    Martial: 1
    Pulisic: 1
    David Silva: 1

    Aubameyang and Salah are the most captained players in our league in gameweek 38. It's a quite varied group of captains, and it will be interesting to see which captaincies gets the most points. Good luck everyone!

    I think he would have started regardless of the FA Cup, but he might be taken off early.

    …and there's the assist as well! Congrats, @DaltonCraig007!

    Burnley concedes. The first time I finally own a Burnley defender!

    And Southampton as well. Bench Boost a fail already…

    Lord Lunstram I looked at him though was unsure he would start, as I have Ings and Henderson and Egan I guess i want it to stay 1 - 0 to SU at this point

    Auba scored again dam

    Wohoo! I don't own him, and I have Foster in goal – but as an Arsenal fan, this is brilliant!

    Won't be surprised if the score stays that way. Burnley aren't a high-scoring team anyway.

    For a minute I was thinking I should have got an Arsenal defender in then Side Show bob made me realise that would have been a bad decision.

    United game tense, United need to do better or we will get Sucker punched and Chelsea are now winning.

    Arsenal defensively isn't worth looking at. Only Martinez/Leno and Tierney if any.

    So many goals already, yet that game is still goalless…

    Not going great here either. Haven't looked at my predicted rank yet, but I imagine it will be a red arrow.
