Matchday 5 review

Notes

Firstly we can see that I finished on 31 points for Matchday 5, which was not good enough.
Secondly, my rank took a huge hit from 1k, all of the way down to 3k which is again, not good enough.
The only good decisions I made this week were captaining Lionel Messi, keeping Bukayo Saka and substituting Denzel Dumfries off.
My main issues were that most of the players with the biggest potential going into Matchday 5 did not perform.
It was a poor week with a lot of surprising results and performances and that had a significant impact on my Matchday.

Matchday 6 team

Notes

I lost quite a lot of players due to the results in Matchday 6.
When it was clear Argentina were progressing during Matchday 5, I used my last transfer to bring in defender Nahuel Molina.
I currently have six players for the semi-finals, which isn’t great but I’m also aware many managers are in a much worse position than me.
I have five transfers which will take me to 11 playing players. Although that is the case, I will be considering taking hits to increase that.
In my opinion, the midfield bracket is lacking options this week. It is likely I concentrate the use of my transfers in my forward and defensive line for that reason.
There is one slot available in my front line and I’m deliberating between Olivier Giroud and Julian Alvarez.
In defence, it’s likely that I either back Argentina or France, although, I may even split the risk and back both.
Captaincy will likely be Lionel Mess and then Kylian Mbappe if Messi fails to return.
