🤕 Changes in player availability updates
Luke Shaw— OUT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE
🚨 Luke Shaw has suffered a muscular injury + is expected to be sidelined for an extended period. Assessments ongoing in hope 28yo left-back will miss weeks rather than months. Blow to Man Utd & England before Euro qualifiers @The@TheAthleticFCF#MUFCR#EURO2024p

🎯 Best teams to target over the next three weeks
Manchester City
Pep Roulette is always one to watch out for, but it will be hard to pass up on:
Sheffield (away), Fulham (home), West Ham (away), Forest (home), Wolves (away).
Could be offensive onslaughts by the Cityzens, and multiple clean sheets.
Arsenal
Fulham (home), Manchester United (home), Everton (away), Tottenham (home)
Looks like at least 2 Clean Sheets + a solid amount of goals…
Tottenham
Bournemouth (away), Burnley (away), Sheffield (home)
Offensively, these are three fixtures to attack. For now, though, Spurs defense is not the most reassuring.
Chelsea?
Pochettino’s men have looked anything but convincing over the first two weeks, but their fixtures are fairly easy.
Luton (home), Forest (home), Bournemouth (away)
These may not all end in wins, nor in clean sheets— but from an offensive perspective they make the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Chilwell, & co. very attractive picks…
Don’t forget to set your lineup before the 6:30PM UK (13:30PM US EST) deadline!
À demain,
