Salah on the Black Sea. Europe on the horizon.
Salah and Fabinho appear alongside Onana in this update. Freiburg counters with Grifo and Goto, while Hearts offers a different scouting puzzle. Six opponents, one squad to manage: decide where to rotate before the fixture list decides for you.

Salah and Fabinho in claret and blue. Seeing Salah and Fabinho in claret and blue, you say “no way”, and yes way. In this save the Liverpool reunion has a very different address; the sat-nav forgot to update.

Freiburg
Grifo · Goto · Eggestein

Grifo, Suzuki, Goto: Freiburg has names worth circling before you reach for Rotate. Circle a few names on Freiburg’s list before you reach for Rotate. No pen? A mouse pointer works too, nobody is watching.
In-game squad
Kızılyıldız
Arnautović · Krunić · Gudelj
⤢ Enlarge screenshotKızılyıldız — In-game squad
Arnautović near the bottom, Gudelj on the right. Red Star rewards a second look. If a third name appears on the second look, do not be surprised.
In-game squad
Hearts
Spittal · Dhanda · McCart

A full Hearts squad, not a free pass. This is a full Hearts squad, not a free pass. The real danger usually hides behind the name you recognise least.
In-game squad
KuPS
Luyeye-Lutumba · Pennanen · Kreidl

KuPS may not fill your shortlist yet. This squad screen could change that. Sometimes the best signing hides at the club you were not thinking about.
In-game squad
Jablonec
Sedláček · Kuol · Alh

Jablonec’s full squad is finally in view. No more scouting only the top half of the list. Read the bottom too; the surprise is hiding there.
In-game squad
CSKA Sofya
Lapoukhov · Pereira · Godoy

CSKA Sofia’s two columns are waiting. Spot the player you would rather face on the bench. The bench is also a role, with a right to a coffee.
