Leverkusen still looking like a good bet. Let's put in Ogbu, who scored in the previous round. Also let's keep on targeting the KI, even though I guess playing in the Faroes can't be pleasant for anybody.

Barnes, Loftus-Cheek, Wilson, Nketiah out.

Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) in, obviously.

The Wonderland (or rather the Austrian part of it) is already beset by injuries -
mostly muscle-related, which is worrying this early in the season.

Arnautović, Gregoritsch, Sabitzer, Alaba out.
Josip Drmić (Dinamo Zagreb), Cédric Itten (Young Boys), Robert Žulj (LASK), Manuel Akanji (Man City) in.

Following the template of picking players that (should) feature in matches that I attend,
I'll go for Samson Baidoo (Salzburg) instead of Schär.

Also, David Affengruber (Sturm) in for his teammate Wüthrich (who scored on the weekend
and won't hit the target again for a long time now).
And Konrad Laimer (Bayern) in for Zuber to achieve a 6-6 balance between Austrians and Swiss.

Zeqiri new captain.


New Wonderland:

A good day for the Spanish teams; very nearly 3 away wins against
respectable opposition. Sevilla deserved to lose on balance of play,
but had a goal disallowed on what seemed to me to be very spurious
grounds (handball when the arm was tight to the body and in front of the
body - no way a defender gets called for that even with the very broad interpretation of handball used these days. I can see that call if he
had deflected the ball directly into the goal of his hand, but this took
place well outside the area. In the normal run of play, without a goal
being scored, this would never have got called), as well as a very soft
penalty awarded against them.

I should be able to get better midfielders than Duncan and Angel Gomes (who apparently is also eligible for the Bungs and Tugas...)

What's the rule here for efficiency purposes? Latest Youth NT allegiance first (so at the outset he'd have been one of
the Bungs, like Assane Diao belongs to the Siglo), but since you put him in your line-up before anyone else he's now a

Good question: I would say that since he has not appeared for the Wakas yet (was called up, but didn't play), he's still eligible for all three.

On the other hand, Ivan Cavaleiro has already played for the Tugas (despite having decided to represent Angola), so he's not available to be picked by the Wakas.

FW:

Athens and Sparta may be crying, Corinth isn't doing much better.

Jogo 5
DF:
MF: Paquetá
FW: Gabriel Jesus (x2), Vinicius Junior, Joao Pedro

Missing Qarabağ's Juninho (FW).

Thanks, will fix it.

Micronos 10
DF: L. Hernandez, I. Cissé
MF: Thomasson, Veretout
FW: Tel (x2), Wahi, M. Thuram, Griezmann, Ikone

Orphans 4
DF:
MF:
FW: Icardi (x2), Alvarez, Aliseda

Very good efficiency.

There isn't a lot to choose from.

Siglo 10
DF:
MF: B. Mendez, Isco
FW: Oyarzabal, Morata 2(x2), F. Torres, Pedro, Diao

UEFA has Oyarzabal as a midfielder.

Thanks. useful to know for the Siglo manager, has no effect on efficiency scores.

Waffles/Windmills 12
DF: Teze, Frimpong
MF: Balikwisha, Vanaken, Heynen, Gravenberch
FW: L. de Jong (x2), Openda, Doku, Bergwijn, Lukaku

Balikwisha is a forward.

This would affect the efficiency score, but I was pretty sure I had checked. Will check again.

Waka-Waka 15
DF: Niakaté, Moucketou-Moussounda, Mbemba, Verdon, Ogbu
MF: Bukari, Ofori
FW: Zaha, Ndiaye, Aboubakar 2(x2), Sima, Paintsil, [Osman, Babicka]

"Olivier Jacques Verdon (born 5 October 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Bulgarian club Ludogorets Razgrad. Born in France, he represents Benin at international level..."

Verdon, a Beninese defender on penalties, should be a lock for my team!

"... He has become known for repeated instances of domestic violence, attempted murder, and aggression against partners."

Or maybe not?

Wonderland 4
DF: Schär
MF: Ugrinic
FW: Itten (x2)

Yeah, not good.
Lugano's Vladi would still be eligible for Switzerland, but he has already been called up
by Kosovo (no actual caps yet though).

I had him originally as a Wonderlander, then changed it.

Pedro looked well offside when the cross was hit. I am surprised that
goal stood scrutiny. Rangers must be furious

Tugas 5
DF:
MF: Castro, Podence
FW: Bruma (x2), D. Jota

And as for Diego Jota, maybe I am imagining things, but it looked to me
(in real time as well as replay) that he deliberately knocked the ball
forward with his hand (a la Maradonna) when he went up for the high ball
that was punted forward. At least one defender was claiming this from
what I could see, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears and the
commentators did not even mention it, and that the goal should have been subject to serious scrutiny in the build up.

Hard to tell, you be the judge.

His hand moves quite quickly between two frames and those are all the
frames mplayer extracted in the sequence. He is all over number 27 too.
