I say A.Diallo, is younger, is the captain of the French Under 21 side, will probably replace T.Silva at PSG, and he is versatile.

N.Ake will be 25 soon. I would have thought by now he'd be playing for a better side than Bournemouth (such as a Leicester/Chelsea or even Arsenal) if he was really that good. 

I agree with the above ^

Which 90 rated midfielders and forwards should I sell below?

I have too many players with concerns

 

Anyone else care to share their thoughts?

I'm thinking Guedes, Suarez, James Rodriguez, Alli, Martial & Piatek.

I'm thinking to sell 4 players at least.

I would keep A.Martial instead you could sell M.Asensio or Richarlison, and I suppose Dele Alli as well.

D.Alli is english, and still youngish, with enough game time this season he will possibly (be lucky to) keep his rating of 92, but I don't think he can rise above anytime in the future if he keeps up his poor form.

A.Martial will get more game time now with R.Lukaku gone. Individually, A.Martal has done well for Manchester United since OGS took charge, also he is more clinical than Rashford in front of goal. 

Edited September 3, 2019 by Milanista1
RobboEFC updated me on Dele Alli's yearly form (didn't know he was playing that bad).

Just curious about Bielsa and if he is any good hahaha

Well Safir6:-  Tactically he's absolutely top class and he has turned a team of mediocre middle of the championship players into:- (So Far) an almost worthy of being premiership players. Almost is a very large word tho... They create more chances than u would hope to dream of but miss the vast majority of the chances, woefully at times and that after "murdering" most oppositions in midfield. 

He has coached them to a high standard but they are mostly still short of what it takes for me. Nketiah and Helda Costa look to be possibly the answer but at the moment Bielsa likes one up top and Bamford has no idea how to play as a genuine CF. At the moment Bielsa is persevering with these same tactics. I'm hoping this will change but it's frustrating....

Bielsa is said to prefer a small squad but I wonder if this is an excuse and that he just hasn't been given sufficient financial resources to get into the premiership. Kalvin Phillips and Pablo Hernandez have the required class but others are needed to change/ improve to make the jump.

Betfair have Leeds as odds-on favourites for promotion and also favourites to win the title but I wouldn't take those odds without something BIG changes on the pitch. For me, they are more probable, as  things stand, to duplicate last seasons "close but not close enough". Small squads tire in the punishing fixture English Championship and we are "smaller" than last season. You never know at some point he may change the formation and Nketiah and Helder Costa may turn out to be a top notch pairing, We'll see ..... and we hope of course...

Maybe you could offer a new contract to D.Alli in order to increase his morale. D.Alli is english, and still youngish, so I'm sure with enough game time this season he will be able to keep his rating of 92, plus I think he is a sure starter for England. 

A.Martial will get more game time now with R.Lukaku gone. Individually, A.Martal has done well for Manchester United since OGS took charge, also he is more clinical than Rashford in front of goal.

English midfielders who've been better than Alli the past year:

Mount, Loftus Cheek, Rice, Henderson, Delph, Milner, Maddison, Winks, Grealish. Probably missed out a bunch. 

As an attacking mid he's not even top 3 (Maddison, Grealish, Mount),i hope he regains his form but right now he's spurs worst midfielder and definitely doesn't deserve an England call up. 

I agree with Martial, his best position is striker so will improve playing there finally.

I posted mine on the previous page, I feel Alli, Asensio and Suarez are players everyone should be selling. Asensio is now competing with Junior, Rodrygo, Hazard, Bale, Isco (fairly sure he was played on the left recently) plus more so his gametime when fit will be limited. Suarez is long overdue a -2, his stats for Barca hide how poor he is now. I think Barcelonas strongest attack is Griezmann on the left, Messi cf and Dembele on the right

No.. He made his debut in the CL away to PSG last season and played 90 mins against Cardiff. 4 apps in total last season.

Maybe he should've got a +2 then, but to get any higher he needs to play alot more games Imo. SM might bump him up to 80+ just because of the hype though

Would you take ake or elvedi?

I would take N.Elvedi as he is younger, can play across the back 4, and was linked to M.City back in June.

[Milanista1 1,834]

Nope because he is still young, and has much time to improve. Getting a good amount of playing time will probably be an issue at Man United (AWB and L.Shaw are ahead of him in the peakng order). 

Nevertheless he has potential, can play in multiple positions (RB/LB/RM) and has what MU has been lacking: attacking drive, technique, dribbling and delivery. With experience I'm sure he will also improve the defensive side of his game as well. 

[Yuasa 211]

Kimpembe or upamecano + Money?

[jlammy 144]

Salah or Sterling?

[Atkin92 36]

Any idea which league will be reviewed after Brazil?

18 hours ago, olivier 1 said:

Elvedi, could easily be 91+ in a few seasons while Akes still at Bournemouth capped to 89.the prem has a ton of quality cbs so moves will be tough for him unless he improves even more.

Upamecano as he's better

2 hours ago, jlammy said:

Sterling, 3 year age gap plus he has improved massively under pep. Has it in him to be a 20+ goal a season winger for the next 8+ years

[Milanista1 1,834]

I thought Korea was being reviewed next, my apologies I guess I was wrong..

I would certainly choose Upamecano + 💰. 

RB Leipzig have also made a great start to the season.

12 hours ago, jlammy said:

R.Sterling (94) is younger, so has that advantage over Salah even though M.Salah (95) is rated one higher.

I'm guessing it's the Korean league because TM Costa has made a list of risers from that league on his 'X Files' thread. 

Back in August he did the same for players from the Brasileiro Série A.

Korean league is done...i posted the finished results.

Brazil was overdue...it was luck

No idea atm which league is next

Brazil Players I've just bid for:-

THULER, Matheus @ Flamengo £400k -  Not reviewed so far

SOTELDO, Yeferson @ Santos  £2.2M -  +2 to 85 

ANTONY, Matheus@ Sao Paulo £1.0M - +10 to 83

PEDRINHO, Delmino @ Corinthians £5.0M -  +2 to 87

Not bad! 😃

decent rises for all I'm sure, unless SM miss them.

My predictions would be

Hi Yuasa :- He has (or had) a knee injury because a week or so ago, he was expected to be back in training by 30 August. He's missed all 3 matches so far & also pre-season training from End of July. So putting 2 & 2 together he's doing his pre-season fitness now I guess. Hope it helps ...

hi Socca, thanks for you explanation. The most important thing is he is not seriously injured and he won't lost a lot season's part.  reading  your explanation i think he will return soon to play, so i can make the deal. 
Thank you and all the users who answer 😁

No, I would keep the duo: right now it seems a little bit too much for Pogba.

Definitely Pogba, SM seem to love hype, fairly confident Pogba will leave next summer as he will have a year left on his contract and under Mino Raiola he's likely to just run down his contract if no transfer is agreed. 

23 hours ago, jlammy said:

Salah or Sterling?

Similar output, and they're at two of the best teams in the world, Sterling better national side and younger, and seems to also that Sterling is improving consistently whereas I think maybe Salah has already peaked. So I'd say Sterling. 

On 9/3/2019 at 11:14 PM, Yuasa said:

Kimpembe or upamecano + Money?

Upamecano already better, as well being likely to get a lot more minutes under his belt this year. He did only play 15 games last year due to injury but Leipzig conceded the least goals in the Bundesliga last season. Konate better than both though. 

On 9/3/2019 at 3:22 PM, liamgriff said:

Depends on who else is available / how restricted you are by cash, he would not be a priority for me but that depends on the competitiveness of the game world.

On 9/3/2019 at 8:39 AM, olivier 1 said:

Ake is a bit too light weight for me, Elvedi is younger and much more versatile (even though of late he does only play CB so he could lose his RB/LB positioning, so don't let that be too much of a deciding factor in your decision).
