XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri, Bernardo (C), Foden, Semenyo, Savinho, Marmoush

SUBS | Trafford, Dias, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Kovacic, Haaland, Cherki, Doku
from an FPL of view i am happy to see Haaland Cherki and Doku on the bench but i don"t understand why you would bench them players when you have to win the match to keep your hopes of winning the title alive i bet Arteta was happy to see the starting X1 . City might win the game easy as there are no bad city players but it is risk making so many changes .

Anyway i am hoping Semenyo can do well and score a lot of FPL points for me tonight .

That'd be nice.

I was quite a lot younger the last time he was of any use to me.

Bit of a blow if like me you have triple captain on Haaland. A even bigger blow though if you had that on O'Reilly.

I see Brandnewguy's best mate Stewie is in charge, tonight.

That could make things lively, given his consistent incompetence.

I didnt even bother bringing in city players or changing my captain. this happens so many time.....everyone gets excited for a double gameweek and you make all these changes just to see your players play once.

I just read more Info and discover an interesting topic that a Mr. named Kees Schouhamer Immink received a personal Emmy award for his pioneering contributions to the DVD and the Blu-ray Disc.

Is kinda interesting. It kinda backs up my instinctive reaction of them being shot in analogue and then having digital processing.

The music equivalent is probably easier to grasp with most people accepting that analogue gives the most accurate representation of the original, but with so much auto-tuning (hello two note Taylor) there has been a move to digital recordings for ease of processing.

As with a lot of language, the term outlives its original physical meaning by a long way.

I (and I’m sure most people here) remember when a “video” meant a VHS tape… we still say “filming” but not “taping” (except in an ironic retro sense).

yes, of course :)
I just realised that we still call it film when there's no actual film anymore

it's like when I strive myself to use the term "tap" for descibing a selecting action on the phome, instead of "click" out of habit

Yeah, they probably had three better vocalists than some bands have one…

Heskey jr. scored the winner for them, incidentally…

Thanks. I might go for him over KDH then on my FH this week. That being said, I currently have Barnes and Palmer instead, still tinkering for those final two midfield spots.

You could have KDH first sub and give yourself extra funds if needed for other parts of your squad . Good luck whatever you do . . Ndiaye is due a goal and an assist i have benched Pedro this week thinking Chelsea may make changes against Spurs in midweek .
