Maybe I shouldn't pick Fiorentina players? Locatelli took a penalty in
the Coppa Italia, so in he goes.

Osimhen should be back fit. I also would have liked to try the new
Diomande flavor of the month (Yan), but then realized that Leipzig is
not in Europe this year.

Replaces Curtis Jones who never scores anyway (now he will).

Arnie is out injured which at least forestalls a major conflict
of interest for me. Jo|2l Monteiro in for him, captain's armband to
Ndoye.

Wanner has started in PSV's last two league games, so might
get a chance in the Champions League as well. (incidentally, I
also think he's further away from the German NT than ever).
In for Fassnacht.


DF: Akanji, Lienhart, Okoh

There's a distinct lack of options.
As Daniele has astutely observed, Leipzig are not in Europe.

No tinkering before the 10:45 game, though I was tempted to put in
Alphonso Davies, who is finally back on the Bayern bench; I suppose he
might get a brief run-out.

Arnie is out injured which at least forestalls a major conflict
of interest for me. Jo|2l Monteiro in for him, captain's armband to
Ndoye.

Plot twist: Arnie has come back from injury way faster than expected
and is starting up front against Sturm. I need to put him back in (for
Adamu, who's not in Freiburg's starting XI), but the armband remains
with Ndoye.

Arnautovi-c off half-injured at half-time and Sturm still lose. Just great.

Also, two goals by Ferguson to put the Gaels on the scoreboard. And a
left out goal by Ishak.

BTW Tito's Brothers would have had an interesting matchday - but for
Toni Fruk adding a pointless third for Rijeka each of the seven post- Yugoslavian countries would have had exactly one goalscorer.

Nico O'Reilly's in midfield.

Thanks for this and the other corrections. This time I made the wise
move of updating the efficiency standings only after all corrections
were in, less need to go back and forth and fix things in the
spreadsheet.

By the way, we have a very tight race in the goal efficiency
standings, with the Armata (0.595) leading the Waffles (0.591) by a
handful of decimal points, with the Rockers not far behind (0.576)

BTW Tito's Brothers would have had an interesting matchday - but for
Toni Fruk adding a pointless third for Rijeka each of the seven post- >Yugoslavian countries would have had exactly one goalscorer.

Slovenia: Petrovi? (Rijeka)
Croatia: GaleUi? (Dinamo Zagreb), [Fruk]
Bosnia and Herzegovina: Mulahusejnovi? (Noah)
Serbia: Stani? (Ludogorets)
Montenegro: Ivani? (Crvena zvezda)
Kosovo: Rrahmani (Sparta Praha)
North Macedonia: Miovski (Rangers)

Maybe back to Tito's Brothers next year?
