Wembley heroes

Your decisions

Fictional club events from this simulated season.

1. MD 12 · The analyst's extra hour
   Run the video and shape session. Cooper keeps the squad for the extra hour. Joe Lolley knows where the space is; Britt Assombalonga would still have preferred the recovery time.
   Next match: a small fatigue cost. Following 2: better organisation.

2. MD 23 · Mid-season replacement
   Britt Assombalonga out; Nicklas Bendtner in.
   In this fictional season, a boardroom row puts Britt Assombalonga in the bomb squad. Cooper must choose another player for the run-in.

3. MD 32 · Forest Focus hears the dressing room
   Keep the response on the pitch. Cooper leaves the phone-in unanswered. Yuri Ribeiro and Philip Zinckernagel train as planned, then give their answer in the next fixture.
   Next 3 matches: fewer distractions tighten the defence, though Forest create slightly less.

4. MD 46 · The headline changes the quote
   Ignore the noise. Cooper refuses another press conference. Joe Worrall keeps the group focused away from the cameras.
   Second leg: calmer heads and fewer mistakes, but a slower start.

5. MD 46 · One last training session
   Attack from the start. Cooper lets Sammy Ameobi lead an early push against Sheffield United. Forest create more, but give them room to counter.
   Wembley: more chances to score, but more space for the opposition.
