I want a Government that's competent. The current one is an absolute joke. Can you tell me what on earth has possibly changed between Sunday, when he said schools didn't need to be shut, and just over 24 hours later, when apparently they need to close for at least 6 weeks? Why allow kids to be in school for one day, where any educational benefit will be negligible, but the each child who carries the virus has now had a chance to spread the virus round 29 of their peers and teachers? Why give teachers only 12 hours to put all these new things into place? Why give parents only 12 hours to sort childcare? What a farce. They must have known this was coming for quite some time, so to spring all this last minute is quite frankly disgusting.

I presume that we're going to have key worker children back in school, and also teach online lessons to the children at home. And how the fvck is that supposed to be organised in the space of a few hours?

You're telling me. As a teacher, this is a bloody pain in the arse.

My ultimate packs were an absolute waste of time.

Made it! Gold 2, with 2 games to spare.

I always dread the last few up to Gold 3. I swear that's when the difficulty just seems to ramp up ridiculously. Hit gold 3 now at least. I'm on 16 - 10. Four games to go, just need 1 win for gold 2. I'm probably going to lose all 4, knowing my luck.

Just did the two ultimate packs. Full of crap. Godin was the only 85, everything else was 83 or lower.

Only on 2-3 so far this WL, but having much more fun. My new squad is called "Only Defense", and I only use Defenders or CDM's. Keeper: Courtois Defense: Mendy, Ramos (IF), Varane, Carvajal Midfield: Freeze Capa, Casemiro (if), Fabhino, 85 Bellerin, Kante Striker: Freeze Traore Subs: Rttf N'didi, IF Hernandez, RB Mukilele, IF Goretzka, TOTGS Diego Carlos, Freeze Volland, OTW Thiago Silva Put all the midfield on "aggressive interceptions", and watch the chaos

Got 90 rated Casimero for my red pick in WL - my luck continues! Finally got up to Div 2 for the first time. Been doing fairly well there, but only just realised that Rivals rewards don't improve past Division 5?! I'm working on relegating myself back down to Div 4/5. Much more fun/less sweaty, and it also means the friendly objectives won't be quite so bad either, as they are also matched on rank I believe.

They'll have to reduce their speed by 3 to 5km over the winter to keep pace with Iheanacho.

You want to leave Hamza on?!?!?

10 seconds in and Choudhury's first contribution is to hit in straight out of play. Start as you mean to go on.

Honestly, I'm less worried about Nacho - he seems to play ok with Perez - and more concerned about Choudhury (who I honestly think is a liability). Amartey (can be solid, but a little unreliable and he's been out such a long time) and Thomas (good going forward but a little inexperienced) If we had to slot one of them in, fair enough, maybe even 2, but three is a huge risk.

I hate whatever match making system they use on WL. Went 10 wins 2 losses, thought - might make Gold 2 again this week. Got up to about 13 wins 4 losses, then proceeded to lose 7/8 times in a row. In the end, I scraped Gold 3 with 4 games to spare, and ended on 15/14.

TOTGS Diego Carlos. Ok I suppose, but I already have IF Ramos and Varane at the back. Good if I want to play a back 5 I suppose.

Man U are only effective on the counter. They're terrible against teams that don't bomb forwards. I think our approach is the right one, to be honest. I don't care if we draw, I just don't want to lose to these yet another time.

I sold Mbappe (he was ridiculously good, but everyone uses him, and I got bored of being 'meta'. Instead I spent the money on Kante and the RTTF N'didi - I've been having fun with the defensive minded midfield in the world, and then I've put both full backs (Freeze Traore and the 85 Bellerin card) on join the attack. Got Suarez (89) and Hernandez (AC Milan LB - 86) as my red picks, which was pretty decent. Wasn't sure about Suarez or Kimbepe (just because Im missing a CB for my French team), but figured Suarez because I also have POTM Felix, which gives him a strong link there - I'm sure Suarez will make a fairly solid CAM but not used him yet.

Controversial view incoming. I really enjoyed season 8, even Lou Sanders. I thought Season 9 was the second worst for me (only beaten by the Liza Tarbuck series). Only really enjoyed Ed from season 9, David Badiel and Jo Brand were especially pointless. This season I thought was great.

Well given that we had 0 Covid cases at my school, and then (at least) 8 covid case in my class in the space of two weeks, I'd find it very coincidental if they'd all been picked up outside of school.

We never beat these. (Since the 5 - 3, at least). After Liverpool, they're the team I always expect to beat us.

For me, he's only good if I put him on stay back. Seems to run out of position a lot otherwise.

Thanks for that!!

As others have said, I'd only say that N'didi would be the "best in the league" in his position. Tielemans and Maddison are good, but not that good. (Dare I say, and I'm going to get shot for this, but even Villa's midfield of Barkley, Grealish and McGinn isn't far off ours )

In the first half, that little dink over Spurs back line to nearly put Maddison through was pretty sexy.

Just got gold 2 for the first time, with a game to spare. Also hit Div 3 in Rivals for the first time. That being said, my team is absolutely disgusting at the moment, and it's definitely making up for my lack of skill. I actually felt bad playing some of the teams I came up against. Nearly emptied my club to complete Gnabry and Adama. (Adama on 7 chem, Gnabry, Mbappe and Neymar on 8 chem, everyone else on 10) I also got destroyed 5 - 0 at least a few times by people with standard gold teams!
