He didn't start many games in the Championship last season and if they do land Mitrovic that will solve the conundrum. I used Twitter to ask Fulham fans who they thought would start out of Bettinelli and Fabri too but no word back yet - either of those is a decent pick for the price.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
With Mahrez and Shaw slightly injured, I decided to replace them with Mane and Cedric, hope it pays off.
Rashford and Jones back early. Rashford in might be a good option. Makes the early United defence shouts riskier though. Not as sure on Bailly now.
Also, is anyone with Tosun considering switching after a poor preseason? It means little but Zaha or Arni look a safer bet at the moment. Everton have good fixtures though.

Can't take too much from preseason generally. Are there any good striker lower than 7?
Austin & Wilson stand out, Mitrorvic if he moves too.
Sanchez, Eriksen or Mane?
Sane is worth considering now too, with Mahrez being injured he'll surely be nailed for a bit.
Mane a good shout too.
Sanchez is overpriced and it doesn't look like our football is going to have improved, nor do we have enough improved personnel to make it seem like something will be better next season, as things stand. There's a good chance of him getting a goal in the opening games imo, but he's just too expensive.
Eriksen is a risk too, as Kane, Trippier, Alli and Son (?) won't be playing. I might just set and forget him, but thinking about Sane in until they return.
I think Bernardo Silva could be a good luck for the early weeks of the season
Thoughts on Sane now over Eriksen?
It's a coin flip, though spurs are playing 4 away games in the first 5 I think and have a harder start
Think I'll double up on Salah and Mane.
My new team (got rid of Alexis after seeing how we're playing at the moment). Thoughts?
Ederson
TAA, Daniels, Cedric
Sane, Salah, Eriksen, Jota
Arnautovic, Aubamayang, Tosun
Subs: Norris, Wan-Bissaka, Stephens, Zanka

Will be in the Redcafe league again, anybody here looking to join a paid £10 league give me a shout!
Can anyone confirm if Aguero and Firmino will start on opening day?
Not yet.
I might be interested
Me too
Same here
I wonder if Mane might become Liverpool's new penalty taker though this season, after taking the one vs United a few days ago?!
PMs with more info sent. We run all sorts so feel free if any take your interest.
Pedro seems to be doing well in pre season under Sarri, might be a decent pick at 6.5.
Ozil needs more love. Thinking he will have a tremendous season
Is Tosun going to be the starting forward for Everton? He has a decent return for just a handful of games. Trying to decide between him and Zaha, who I'm not so sure about based on the schedules at least
I can get Mane or Sane, same price. Think I'll hedge my bets and to for the latter as I have no city players currently.
Exactly same conundrum. I think Zaha starts out wide. I assume Tosun will start as Everton don't really have any other option, unless they purchase someone new.
My first year doing this. Seems prices for players fluctuate during the season? If that's the case, it pushes the scale for waiting on Zaha.
Also, I'm loading my team very back heavy. Back 4 or 5. Looking at history, you get 130-150 points on average for some of the top defenders w max max price of £6.5. Yet with forwards there's nowhere near that value on a consistent basis.
Yes prices change on a net transfer basis so their ongoing value matches their demand. Not sure if you can see last years price change history but Salah went through the roof obviously. Iirc he started around 7-8m and ended 10.6m, Mane was more at the beginning.
is TAA nailed for scousers even if Clyne is available?
Ok that is a big jump! But worthwhile I suppose. Good to know.
He was 9m.
Count me in. Is it Cafe or outsiders?
I'm not touching a Utd player from the off. Way too much up in the air with us right now and not much value either.
I can see the value being in defence again though eventually. Our attack is a joke because of our joke of a boss.

Rightio. I'd really like a caf paid league but I'm too lazy to organise one. I suppose who holds the money might be a problem too.
Pm’d you information on ours. Yes I’d join a paid Caf league too, I’m sure money is something that could be sorted out through a trustworthy admin? I know some leagues use PayPal but it becomes awkward with fees if people send incorrectly and even withholding of funds at times depending on the references used. For that reason but also that the majority of our group know me personally and see my history of paying out we’ve always used direct bank transfer.
I'd like to know this as well
Anyone mind sending me the caf league code?
Apparently Mahrez might be fit for charity shield. So be careful for those who are bringing in Sane, in case they rotate.
Any reply is appreciated!
You can play a 3-4-3, defenders don't score as many points as strikers!Improvements? Assuming Rojo joins Everton, if not I’ll transfer him out. 5m seems like a bargain for him. I’ll perhaps change Maguire if he doesn’t join us.
Any reply is appreciated!
