    @SimonW@SimonW Please can you clarify. Is this virtual league an entirely separate league from the one based on actual City matches, or a continuation of it?

    Id play Donaldson and Novak up front given those stats. Both are well rounded, Novak better in the air.

    Not sure what youd do with Devitt....

    Yeah that's the problem. Devitt is probably the star player but isn't natural as a CM (and Cooke is the other standout player and I'm not sure I want to sacrifice one of their attacking attributes having them play a more the deeper role). It kind of pushes you into a 1 man attack

    What are Devitt's stats out if interest? And what's his position(s)?

    I did consider playing him in his preferred position on the right but as he is also natural in the AMC role and because of Pritchard preferring an ML role rather than AML I'm leaning towards using him central. I will train Pritchard to play further forward as well as training a few of the other wide players to play higher up so a more attacking version of the formation, perhaps with 2 strikers does become an option.

    I guess the statistics may make selection of some players more preferable than others. The only one I was a little surprised at, was that Henley, who I thought was a right back, was getting the left back berth before Wood.

    He can play on both sides which is useful when there is a lack of fullbacks. Wood picked up a knock in a preseason game against qpr so misses the start of the season
