I don't even want to comment on anything... another shitty week for me 

I don't think I can complain about the week given what you all have had to say, but the most point hit I've taken so far this week was Jack Grealish for for Solly March ended with 8 points and Grealish had 12, so technically it's the same thing right ?, but then that was me wanting to have Grealish on my team to begin with, so I could also say I got him for free, lol.

That is a solid transfer, i wanted Grealish in my squad as well but did not have a place for him. I also wanted Mitoma/March, Fernadez/Rashford and Saka so decided to keep my current midfield and then made the blunder with benching and decided to put March on bench.

If Rashford is out for more than two weeks, he goes out for Grealish.

I might let Rashford go as early as next game week, I like the fact that he's been somewhat consistent all season long, but there are way too many viable options for him right now that cannot be overlooked right I mean look at watkins, Jesus and the newly back in action Anthony Martial, I'm sure if he stays fit, l bet he will get more playing time than werghoust down the stretch,

[buwaytress]

No one did shittier than me, and I'm rage-matching by keeping my entire team and just switching from the bench. If we don't smash Leeds next game, then I'm rage-transferring after this GW. Does prove that you can't really leave a team alone though -- 22 points for me as a punishment for not doing a single transfer. Super ouch.

At this point, I prefer Nunez to blank the entire rest of season so he can come back and Haaland next... Guy can dream can't he?

I put my beliefs in last two rounds in West Ham, somehow thought they will rise above relegation fight, but obviously wrong
as with many other predictions, since my teams are fighting for relegation, I am too invested in following all other clubs in that region, thinking they are better than they are, and mistakes are just coming one after another

but there is still time to finish it off in nice fashion, especially if both my teams survive tough seasons

Sometimes I think of teams like West Ham with old lenses. I think I make the same mistake with Leeds. You have some standout players, and they get into the mix every now and then, but not enough to pull the entire team up.

Right now, in the league, I find it impossible to name 5 players who are super consistent. Rashford in the form of his life, but he blanked 2 games ago. Saka's probably the only one who's been for the season spending 80% of his game time playing well, but he doesn't score FPL points so regularly.

Haaland? He's like Bitcoin. Can make huge contributions and break records, but will cost you many games and budget gaining no points.

Points-wise, I'm a bit blind in this regard, I feel. It's really not enough to watch games and get the feel for players, you *have* to consider points contribution. That's a whole new aspect I'm still learning about for FPL

Trippier and Kane are super consistent whole season. Now you can add all three Brighton midfielders to the mix and pick your favorite among Mitoma, Mac Alister and March. Happy to have them all except Mac Alister in my team.

And Degea as well, he's been averaging over 6 points per game this season, I'm disappointed I don't own him yet, I'm stuck with Raya and Ward, my last -4 to get Kepa didn't pan out, so GK isn't my priority right now, I may stick with both of them until the end of the season, although I still have plans to get Degea. Brighton assets are the most consistent assets this season, and that their place on the team is secure. I don't yet own McAlister because I already own March, Mitoma, and Estupinan but I'm thinking about it.

Any news on Rashford and Shaw? this is mess.

[Harkorede]

Any news on Rashford and Shaw? this is mess.

Nothing yet from my end about those two, but I'm fine with having them on bench for one or two game weeks, I have players that could come of the bench for them, because there is no alternative in the Man United squad that I'd rather have over those two, but the hardest task in this past weeks in from the midfield players they're shit loads options, and settling for one or two is very though, for example there are 3 magnificent midfielders in Brighton, there is another set of midfielders with some adrenaline rush in Arsenal, not to talk of a few from City and the likes of the big teams, It would have been a nightmare to pick a squad if Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool midfielders are all performing extraordinarily too. I sometimes wish FPL have 6-3-1 as a part of the possible formations to pick.

Cmonn man you can't just write shit like that, I was sure those GK stats are way off so checked it a bit. Raya you are stuck with scored 128 points and De Gea scored 118. Granted De Gea played one game less but Raya still has better average per game and that number for De Gea isn't 6, it is almost exactly 4.

Man Raya got me a 0 pointer  and cost me a position in the league last GW, so maybe I'm still mad at him, but he's only been on my team for two GWs ( I didn't say he was shit though), one good and one bad with nothing. Man I badly need to sort out my midfield options for the upcoming GW32.  I just double-checked Degea's stats, and you're correct, still wish I had him in the last 4 GW though.

Thanks man! 1-2 GWs is fine with me as well; perhaps both of them will return after the cup game.

Seems Rashford injury is not serius, there is even talk he will be on bench against Sevilla but probably not used. Meaning should be back for GW 34 when I really need him. Similar for Shaw but maybe we get more info today on press conference.

Another uncertain return? I understand that this player is one of their most precious assets, but the better you handle him, the longer he will remain healthy for the club. ETH should give this guy a break. Well, the manager mentioned he wouldn't be available for the Sevilla match, and he might not be available for 2–3 GW. The muscle injury doesn't look good, but Shaw's injury doesn't seem serious, so he should return sooner.

My advice to Rashford holder- Sell Sell Sell

[Trofo]

My advice to Rashford holder- Sell Sell Sell

My advice is always to not make rash decisions. For instance I am planing on free hitting GW32 so I don't have a problem in that GW. Not counting GW31, it means united will play 5 games until I need him again, plenty of time to get better. Twice against Sevilla and domestic cup. One week on the bench for me and hopefully he is 100% ready in GW34 when United has 2 fixtures and I want Rashford in first 11.

Rashford being on my bench would not gave any significant impact because, I got him in for around 6.6-6.8m I can't remember exact figure, but the only reason that'd make me get rid of him would be if I need to have 3 Man Utd, but I don't for now, so I would instead have him on the bench.

Too bad I was already thinking of adding Martial to the list and I know Martial - Rashford  partnership would always yield significant result but I can for who exactly, I'll just wait before jumping on Martial or Gabriel Jesus bandwagon.

If you have FH, keeping him is a good gamble, but if you don't have FH, keeping a player who will be out for a long time is not good coach management in my opinion. For me to fill in 10 players in 32, I need to get rid of Rashford and get a Liverpool midfield asset not only for GW32 but also for DGW 34. I couldn't afford Salah, so I had to settle for Gakpo.


Shaw will return in GW32 for their cup match.

[morvillz7z]

I did my free transfer early this week, took Rashford out. Without a FH chip, i'd rather have someone who plays this week and next, if he's fit for DGW34 i will get him back.

My only dilemma is deciding who to field as my third defender, currently on Estupinan. From Lampard's presser we are to expect rotation in the Chelsea squad, and with Brighton creating so many chances every game, Estu could easily get on the end of one. Schar is my least favorite option, Newcastle could have conceded 3-4 goals in the first half against Brentford, and i don't think they can keep a clean sheet, especially given Watkins' scoring spree. And then there's Rico Henry, who hasn't kept a single clean sheet* (lol one vs. sou) since i wildcarded him in my team. I mean he was really close to scoring/assisting but didn't...the first week i benched him, he won a penalty for them. Lol  I have this sneaky suspicion he's gonna return again, maybe even with a clean sheet. Wolves not creating much, not scoring, have low xG, etc. Hmm...

Problem is there isn't a single defender at this moment I really want to have in my team except for Trippier. Still I don't trust Newcastle defense enough for double up. City is rotating too much and their defenders don't get attacking returns. United is plagued with injuries, Chelsea is all over the place. Spurs and Brighton are never teams to keep a clean sheet. Liverpool is one of the worst defenses this season, and so on.

I just discovered the extent of Rashford's injury and he won't be back until the final day of their double game week, so I have no reason to hold on to him anymore, I'd agree that there is not safe defender to have so it's rather easier for to go for cheaper Brighton, Brentford and Newcastle ones who can still keep a clean sheet when playing an equal opponent than Recce James and Trent Alexander-Arnold esque with zero clean sheet or a City defender that I'm not even sure would make the line up. If going to double triple up on City with back line I'll rather just go with Ederson.

Good decision, i warned ya.


I'm thinking about bringing Trent in for the Liverpool double game week. I'm not expecting a double cleansheet, but they might as well get one vs Fulham, and Trent is the only one who can offer some attacking return, a goal/assist with one cleansheet? That's fine with me.

Jack Grealish with 12.9% ownership.  Yeah, I'm looking forward to Pep showing up to the party with Foden and leaving Jack on the bench for the game against Bayern next week. This will be quite handy for me.

It will not be Foden, he had a surgery and I am quite sure he will not play this week. Sort of thinking Grealish should be safe for the time being since PL games are arguably more important now. They already have a nice lead on Bayern while every point in PL counts. That being said it is Pep and he always finds a way to screw with our plans.

Have a feeling Alvarez could get a chance today, he deserves one for sure.
