Balázs Borbély will change Ferencváros's starting team for Sunday's league match against MTK. In the club's interview published on 24 October, the coach said he would not field the same XI that played Thursday's Europa League match against Torreense. The derby at Groupama Aréna kicks off at 18:00 Budapest time.

Freshness is part of selection

The coach stressed players' health and sensible workload management. He did not announce names or a full starting line-up, so the planned changes should not be read as a confirmed team sheet. A home league win is the target, with further fixtures also requiring attention during the busy schedule. Our separate preview covers the stadium's fan programme.
