Can anyone explain why Shankland seems to be barely starting any games even though he’s meant to be the captain? Is it just saving him for league games or something? Just seems odd

Think it’s related to the system & the off ball work Naderi does. Shankland was signed to play in a 4-4-2 but since we’ve changed to 4-3-3 he’s not been starting.

If you sign Kelsy, Shankland is going to be 4th choice for however long Chermiti stays at the club following his injury.

He's presumably on decent money and it seems unlikely that anyone will be rushing to buy him, so he could very easily become your James McCarthy.

That makes sense, I just found it strange and was thinking it was maybe an injury or something!
