Not a Chance against Manchester city and Aston Villa in the next 2 GWs - not a buy in the next  two incoming fixtures imo.

Ruben Dias is injured and out for weeks. Josko Gvardiol is injured and out for Months. City had to recall Max Alleyne from his loan spell at Watford in order to cushion the effect of the defensive injury crisis. And the youngster has started City's last two games against Brighton and Exeter, in a defensive pairing with Nathan Ake.

So my point is that City's defense is weak at the moment, so United would score, though they may be outscored.

Looking at the Premier League table and the recent run of results, there should be nobody giving Manchester United a chance to win both games but is it really out of the question? These are big games, the Manchester derby and Aston Villa therefore they will probably walk away with anything except zero points.

Having a Manchester United player in the team now might be counterproductive considering their next two games. There is still time to contemplate this before the next deadline.

Lot of changes and a lot of games being played along this weeks so we are gonna have to be super cautelous with which player is gonna play or not, i mean i dont want to have as as starter a player who is gonna be in the bench and only play a few minutes thanks to they are acumulating a lot of minutes and in the next week the Champions League comes back.

(For sure im gonna ended up not making the correct changes and playing with one player less)

For the first time this season (other than GW1), I have a million ways in which I want my team to be set up.

Do I want Ekitike long-term? Will I go for Palmer early considering the great run of fixtures? Is it worth keeping Saka anymore with all the cheap options? Do I really need 3x Arsenal if I decided not to go for Gabriel?
I literally changed my plan for the next GW 10 times. It's the part of the season in which you'll miss out on at least 2-3 top players that can destroy your GW in every round.

When in so many doubts, use the Wildcard and set yourself free - FT isn't going to solve the choices in your head right now.

Unpopular opinion but Rice is more valuable than Saka and cost way less.

Why do I feel Pep is going to keep Semenyo at the RW to own it. Scored brace tonight ( 1 disallowed)

I really do like what I was from Semenyo last night, but I'm not so sure how I feel about him playing under Pep because of the minutes, asides Cherki he's the cheapest way into Man City's attack, maybe I'll have to wait for the first few games to see, and him actually playing 90 full minutes last night isn't a good sign imo, with Pep, in a cup fixture, it could be some changes are coming over the weekend.

The problem at this stage of the game especially with the transfer window still, you feel like you've got it all figured out, and then one week or two later, the wildcard feels like it's made your team worse.

the wildcard feels like it's made your team worse.

When I used the wildcard last time, it actually only made things worse. Sometimes I think the best decision is not to change anything at all. For next week, I’m planning to use Bench Boost, but I’m not sure I’ll benefit from it to the maximum, so I’m still thinking it through. There’s still time. My team seems strong enough, but I never really know how to make sure I get the maximum number of points out of it. For example, last week my bench players scored more points than the ones who were on the field.

Would still have the same issue. No way to have all of Gabriel, Saka, Palmer, Foden, Bruno, Haaland, Watkins and Ekitike - and all of them look great going forward.
For your team to look decent, you need to pick 5/8 - meaning that the rest of these from the list will be destroying you from time to time. Not sure which ones are worth it and which ones are not.

I have 2 FT's, can go -4 if needed, so I will be able to do what I want. I just need to decide what it is.

You cannot control things such as players receiving yellow or red cards but with hindsight learn where you made the mistake in transfers. It gets frustrating when you make changes and they do not work out. At the end of he day, you want to accumulate points but sometimes you make changes that make matters worse or do not help at all.

When the bench start scoring more than the outfield players, you hope you do not make that mistake again. I have not started planning my transfers yet, I hope to make a start this evening at least to work out the players that I must try to bring in.

When i was thinking about of start to made space for the Palmer comeback on my team i cant made it since he is not at his best level and worst of all the Chelsea performance droped a lot until they reach the level of sack their coach, so i dont really know now if im gonna put Palmer back at my team, the risk is big he is not cheap at all but if he can recover his form it can be a big turn.

Out of all this players one change I am still looking to make is actually the swap of Saka to Bruno Fernandez since game week 16 Saka has been averaging 3 points and that’s reportedly low for his price tag, with Michael Carrick at the dugout now and his formation looks very promising that Bruno will be push more forward I think it will be more Attacking returns for him than Saka but less defensive contributions which Saka always gets just 1 from the usual Arsenal Clean. The only Skepticism I have is Manchester United fixtures with Manchester City coming up next it’s scary.

Do you see Semenyo in Manchester City first eleven because I still have him

What you are saying may come to be but at the moment I am not worried about most of those players:
Gabriel and Haaland are essential for me, there is simply no going without them this season
Saka - Ticking along slowly but nowhere near worth his tag
Palmer - having that groin problems and still being managed, granted Chelsea has great fixtures coming up and he could get a lot of points soon but I would sooner put my money on him not playing than on him scoring a lot of points
Fernandes could become essential depending on how United looks under new manager and which position he plays, I am not sure playing a 10 actually helps him, he will lose defcon and a lot of bonus and gain a bit more xG, anyway that is a problem from GW24 onward
Foden - didn't get more than 2 or 3 points for eternity it seems, he has the minutes but is doing absolutely nothing in that City side, everything that happens goes trough Cherki or Doku and now Semenyo but none of them will have the minutes
Watkins and Ekitike I could see as interesting picks but had both season and would have been much better if I hadn't. We shall see what will happen with them

I actually have a different problem I don't see many players that I would want to have in my team for a long time. Feels like we need to chase the fixtures all the time with most teams with maybe only Arsenal being somewhat fixture proof.

[Harkorede]

I think one of my biggest regret while in need of a Arsenal defensive asset with Gabriel out, I went with Raya, but he has since not paid any dividends and I would have been better off with any other 4.5-5.0 GK to rotate with Duvbraka, I guess we all slept on Roefs a whole, imagine some having him without alternating so far for the season.

Now, I'll be need two transfers for almost the same purpose, Raya to another GK and Gabriel in, because of budget, If I could tweak it in, I could still keep both Raya and Gabriel until wildcard or when I have more transfers to throw around.

I also really do want either Bruno or Palmer, Palmer for the great fixtures, but he's far from being what he used to be and might not be worth it at this point, as for Bruno, If I bring him in he's staying for a long while, and I believe Foden's mojo might have runout at least for now, maybe Semenyo as a cheaper option would do (that's even if he gets up to 60 minutes playing time every week).
