ShePlays NWSL Week 8 Team

Let's do this. Bullet point style!

• At this point, I've assembled a roster of the top players in the game. The problem is, I'm a match-up manager.
• To that point, I've promoted Kennedy Fuller (home against Utah tonight) over Temwa Chawinga. Chawinga's status is still unknown. I should have benched her last week for Avery Patterson. I got bailed out by Gabi Portilho's injury. 
• So am I making last week's correct decision this week when it won't apply? I think she'll do great if she starts at home against Bay FC. But if she just gets another sub appearance... ?? Argh.
• I'm realizing I had this "external monologue" last week. Sorry.
• Fuller should be a good bet against Utah. My transfer this week is along these same lines. Riley Tiernan for the aforementioned injured Gabi Portilho. That was always going to be my transfer this week, as I need to shed Gotham and/or Portland players. The injury and Tiernan's form are happy accidents.
• I think I'm going to captain Tiernan. Form, and matchup.
• Vice-captain is Debinha. Case could be made to swap them. Debinha higher floor. Tiernan maybe higher ceiling.
• Otherwise it feels like a chalk team. That's not a bad thing defending a lead. 

Good luck, all!
