Scotsman moonlighting as a Londoner

@shornKOOMINS My mate plays in the insurance industry 7 a side league which is apparently a decent standard. One team rocked up a few years back with a ringer that turned out to be Paul Merson well into his 50’s. He ran rings around them all (much younger men)

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@mattd1990 @fpl_tactician He’s got Ecuador, Uruguay, Iran and Algeria missing out. I don’t think them all losing is all that farfetched (Algeria would need to lose by a couple)

@ramendik @aziz0nomics Doesn’t really mandate anything. I’m sure some businesses will determine that closing for a few days once or twice a year would outweigh the cost?

@luise_wdv @Vita3ali I think the airlines tend to overestimate how long a flight is going to take so that they don’t need to give a refund for being late - so then if they leave on time they’ll arrive early

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@FPLFundamental @GianniButtice I could see them playing 45 minutes each. Tuchel will want everyone fresh.

IMO XI will be Henderson, Quansah, Guehi, Burn, Spence, Mainoo, Henderson, Saka, Rogers, Rashford, Watkins.

Could well see Trafford, Eze, Chalobah and Toney later on though

@kyle___g_ @jamesleachpoet @FPLMeerkat Yeah but you can just sub the guy out

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@LBetru @tompeck Wasn’t at Euro 24 was he?

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@DaleJohnsonBBC Could lead to a bizarre scenario where a team finishes 4th but with a good enough record to be one of the 3rd place qualifiers even if the 3rd team in that group gets eliminated

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@hamzzaa__ @DaleJohnsonBBC Was Wayne Hennessy’s one against Iran not SFP? Or was that considered to be DOGSO?

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@FPLMeerkat So many of the top sides have dropped points in MD1 that they’re going to have to go strong

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@BenCrellin Have we ever had a knockout match involving two African teams?

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@MiguelDelaney It’s awful. Chipotle is way better Mexican food

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@timstillman_ Damned if they do and damned if they don’t. They’re either going to be accused of half baked coverage or a jolly on the taxpayer

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@SibsMUFC I remember Brazil not being too bad I think kickoffs were 5pm/8pm/11pm UK time so I’d often to up to bed at 11 and watch the late game in bed. There was one 2am kickoff right at the start but it was a Saturday night.

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@HLTCO Looks like it is available now but wasn’t when I got up at 6am

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@HLTCO They also just don’t seem to have highlights of the CZE-KOR game available yet for some reason yet I can find them on their YouTube channel (with the bloody score showing)

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@FPLSportScience I really gotta start watching these directly on your app instead of clicking through to the YouTube link. The BBC YouTube video literally says the score 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@thehunter157 @timstillman_ @NotEvenWounded Don’t believe the hype in that band

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@je_ln10 @michaelsavage Put it at 8am

[Daniel Mackie @dm_261]

@christophgroene @Ha35403511Ha @FPLGeneral I think a popular strategy in the final will be to load up on attackers from the third place match (often fun and free scoring) and defenders from the final (often a cagey 1-0). The last two finals have been the exception to that though.
