Man City vs B’mouth
Fans City is evolving but it still has a nice core to it. De Vrij and Kroos are good pick-ups. Gnabry also thought your side could do the transitions well enough and you’d certainly get numbers forward even though it leaves you susceptible to a counter. Elsie has gone a bit mad no not selling ¾’s of his side but he’s playing 3 Englishmen. Still manages to put a nice side Aarons looks to be a real player and be interesting to see how he develops. JWP is a good player and I think your tactics suit him, he certainly can play the sitting role, and of course he’s a mega threat from set-plays. Ultimately whilst I liked LC’s tactics and young squad, City’s side is a stronger line-up, has home adv and form slots so go into the fruity ahead on the spins.
Man City 2-1 B’Mouth
Lukaku x2 (Dembele/Kroos)

Chelsea vs Leicester
The game we’ve all been waiting for, the greatest ever sports-gamer, and Fan. Both sides going 4-3-3. Chelsea with home adv Lesta with form, allows the Chels to go into the other slots with a 1 slot lead. Leicester’s defence in my opinion is stronger right now but obvs Bastoni/Romero have plenty of room to grow. The away side I think win a tight midfield battle to, Rodri is perhaps the best DM in the prem right now and he really shields that defence, Hard to believe Goretzka is still only 26 seems to have been around forever. Lesta have a mighty front-three but this really is Chelsea’s top trumps card. Tactics I felt Rof edged and takes a slender lead into the spins.
Chelsea 1-1 Leicester
Haaland (Neymar)
Dybala (Mount)
Leeds vs Soton
Two sides who will be lookin to finish off the season with a bit of momentum, I haven’t typed this very often this season but leeds go into it with the home advantage and form Nice balanced side Lubo, strong back 3/5 – SMS and Pellegrini are a very good double act and the front-three has a little bit of everything. I won’t copy and paste it but I like the opening paragraph was well thought out, banked on lack of full backs and it worked. Also liked the limit of touches in your own final third Nadz has such a strong squad chock full of options just a shame to see him sacrificing the team for the lack of defensive width, Ndidi and Valverde are obviously a strong shield but this is very much a 5-5 line-up as none of the front 5 are getting back – makes the game a mis match in the wider areas. Soton do have firepower but rasher is a 1/3 striker and Jovic a ¼.. side needs balance Nadz
Leeds 1-0 Soton
Kane (chiesa)
Sheff Utd vs Arsenal
Lets get the red card out of the way – Mertens 27 mins (naughty boy
well changes the whole complexion, Welshy has really improved this side (since my return atleast) a very strong spine, and with Japanese international Tomiyasu he has a shirt selling machine going on. The front four are quality as is the midfield and tactically you’re spot-on
Jet – I like the formation and it stands up really against welshy’s. the only real drawback is the lack of strength in the centre of the park (I know you’re gonna tell me Gundo will drop back but)
Sheff Utd 1-2 Arsenal
Mahrez (Hojbjerg)

Wolves v Newcastle
Wolves with an awful lot of changes and Id imagine more to come over the next few weeks, Newcastle very strong defensively with possibly the two top CBs in the league, I do feel Wolves would struggle with a fairly in inexperienced front line, they did fine in midfield, Rice and Tonali as a partnership I feel will work well. But in the end Newcastle just had a little too much for them
Wolves 0 - 1 Newcastle

Portsmouth 0-1 Tottenham
De Bruyne (pen)
Motm: De Bruyne
Despite home advantage, Pompey couldn't find their recent good form and were missing some key players.
Spurs always tactically sound and with such strong depth and de Bruyne the star performer.

An exciting game at the end of the season, both sign off with a point and both with work to do over the Summer imo
Leicester vs City
Title chasing Lesta up against Rof’s former charges Man City, tough game this for a game with so much at stake, form slots we’re split but home adv saw Lesta take a healthy slot lead into the fruity.
Leicester +/-
- housewife in goal
- back line is solid, good use of Laporte as the shadow
- midfield blend is really good, Rodri top class, Goretzka enables Bruno to do his bits
- Front-three right up there with the best, pace,power,goals
- I actually really like the way you structure the tactics, it’s wordy but in a good way, not words for words sake
City +/-
- Martinez is having a very good season IRL
- not a real fan of the FB’s
- Too Inter
- I like the midfield, Kamara looks to be a good talent, Kroos/Pog are a great combo in their own rights
- Cash in on Dembele
Leicester 2-1 City
Sterling (Bruno) Mane (Goretzka)

Newcastle vs B’mouth
One side reached it’s objective in emphatic style this season, which saw us in the presence of greatness and a billionaire for the second time in Elsie, the other just saw us in the presence of a real life billionaire 😊
Barcodes +/-
Ferland or Ben in goal does not work unless it’s fly goalie
No idea who Morey is, apparently, he plays for BVB so no doubt Bayern will rob him for free
Virgil/Dias is sweet
I like the midfield trio, quite a lot
Front-line’s too lightweight, too slow, and not potent enough
B’mouth +/-
Youthful side full of room to grow
Considered inexperienced by those who only really watch the big 5 leagues, myself included
Nicolas Gonzalez is a genuine baller
Kvaratskhelia automatically wins games of scrabble
Newcastle 2-1 B’Mouth
Silva (Salah) Barella (koke)
N.Gonzalez (no assist)
Motm – Modric
Spurs vs Chelsea
this is the one we’ve all been waiting for, the man the myth the legend, vs the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. This is set up perfectly now for a nil-nil. Not sure I’ve ever see Chelsea so low down on the form table, it actually hurt my eyes scrolling that far. Home Adv and Form see TAB open up with a 5 slot lead.
Spurs +/-
Never been a fan of the 4231 but the players you have suit it perfectly
The only player I’m not really sure on is Pavard, that speaks volumes
Casemiro and Kante is one heck of a shield
The front four are sweet as
I like the chemistry in that attack I know we never saw Sancho in a city shirt, but we know what Sane did do in it, and alongside KDB and Kun
Chelsea +/-
Gulacsi – Not a fan TBH and conceding 23 in 28 for the second placed side seems a lot
Romero and Bastoni – are gonna be superstars in maybe 2 seasons time, huge potential
I like Robbo a lot, when he’s good he’s very good
I like the CM’s but they’re well in for a battle today
Front four are obviously top quality, Neymar is a great 10 and it gets you a lot of firepower in there
Spurs 3-2 Chelsea
Aguero x2 (Sancho, Sane) KDB (no Assist)
Haaland x2 (Grealish, Mbappe)
MOTM – Aguerro, 2 goals in a title shootout including the winner and another Aggguuerrroooo
-------
Sheffield United vs Leeds United
A proper Yorkshire derby, Wales favourite son and all-round nice lad Welshy takes on the much less twattish than he used to be Lubo. Leeds bring the momentum into this game after 2 wins in their last 3 games, whilst the Blades have been blunted and went on their summer break early with 3 losses on the bounce.
Blades +/-
Bags of experience through the side
Zlatan a very good pick up and excellent bench option
The front-four will always give you a good shot in games
Hadn’t seen much of Whackim Andersen before but he looked good vs Wolves last Friday
Flatcaps +/-
The Spine of your side is really good, neuer/Kane genuine WC, SMS right up there in his role and Foden has the potential to be
Chiesa is really starting to deliver on the promise he’s been showing for a while
I liked you tactics, and I like that you decided to be more proactive today in search of a win, but whilst still having enough defensive stability
Sheff Utd 2-2 Leeds
Zlatan (Brooks) Gallagher (Isco)
Kane (Chiesa) Depay (Foden)

A very close match between these two. Both teams in good form and sharing the form slots aswell.
Arsenal Positives + Negatives
- I do like the wingers/fullback combo on both sides. Do create a lot of danger from the wings.
- Sort your subs out jet!
- Not too sure on Partey as a sole DM. I know he can play there but think he'd be overrun by the Portsmouth attackers drifting infield.
Portsmouth Positives + Negatives
- I like the defensive tactical setup to counteract the dangerous Arsenal team. Everyone knows their role and how to fulfil it.
- Playing Insigne and Bernardo in a slightly central position instead of out and out wingers does have its benefits. They don't have to face the pacy Arsenal fullbacks head on and get to mix up their attacking play.
- Not too sure on Neves as a b2b mid. Think he's better from deeper imo where he can dictate play.
