Nailed on and Pep doesn't work. You never know what he will do.
Fantasy Premier League 19/20

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
They don't have another game for 2 and half weeks now until their 2nd leg versus Madrid so Pep will want to keep them match ready. I know it's Pep routlette usually but I think they will go strong. Norwich are going to get a heavy one I reckon. 7 or 8. It will be a massacre.
Is sterling or KDB the better option?
Sounds pretty risky taking KDB out for a home game v Norwich.
It could come off, but I'd be wanting Sterling in there alongside him.
Bruno tends to get his bigger hauls in the aways too according to a podcast I listened to today, so I'd also be loathe to do that one too.
Swapping Sterling out?
He might get an absolute stash load of points against a dreadful Norwich.
I'm heavily considering bringing him in and captaining.
Will definitely be refreshing on this guy 15mins before the deadline for the City lineup!
Rockstar said he won't have any GW 38 news, and then he went private anyway.
Triple cap Sterling for ya boi
Bring in Aubameyang mate...
Don't think D.Silva is a better bet...?
No i don't and i don't have him but i have two free transfers...
Hmm, I'll be pulling trigger on Triple Cap as well and I reckon Silva is gonna score HUGE in that Norwich game...
Bigger than Sterling I reckon.
I know but the guy in trying to catch has free hit and will definitely bring in Sterling and KDB and adjust has Fernandes so I'm trying to make my team different.
I meant swap out KDB and bring in Sterling.
Bring in Aubameyang mate...
I don't want to stress about this and made my transfers whilst I can afford them.
Foden and TAA out for Azpi and Dilva.
Final team:
Pope
Azpi, Mings, Aurier
Salah, Dilva (TC), KDB, Pulisic, Fernandes
Jiminez, Vardy
Subs: Button, Greenwood, Egan, Saiss

I'm no expert but I would include a keeper in your starting eleven.
Hahaha. It's there any question? Pope of course.
Will Cedric start for the Gooners?
Fecking Sterling' in St Tropez.
Thanks, will keep an eye out.
Mendy on holiday too. Will they be back for Sunday? something tells me they won't. Surely one does not go to St Tropez for a few days and skip training.
I actually don't want him playing because of my ML. It would help me massively.
To me that says he aint playing tbh, why would he rush back?
Strange why is he going? Is De Bruyne going to play?
Pep is just impossible do deal with. Injury problem?
I'd agree. I don't see why they would go away for a couple of days just to fly back and jump in and start this final game which has no significance on the season.
I think they've been given breaks to prepare them for the Champions League.
Gonna be a nightmare if all the City first team is away and I’m holding three of them.
Who on earth to TC then. If De Bruyne is away too then I am not sure. Bring in Kane maybe?
TAA maybe. A bit too risky that one as he could be rotated too.
feck. I've already made my two transfers, one of which has cost me 4 points
I'll just have to hope KDB plays to get that assist record. I'd love it if sterling doesn't play, I don't have him.

I am assuming Sterling and Mendy won’t be involved in the final day if they are literally on the beach in St Tropez. I am presuming that there has to be some sort of biosphere in place to protect the participants of these matches and players don’t just have free reign between games.
It would seem odd to just let players have a little holiday with one game left.
Yes they have Europe but ill await further details before writing Sterling off.
He is arguably the biggest game changer this weekend.

Panic over nothing imo. Half the team are abroad according to their instagram accounts (Mahrez, Laporte, Ottamendi). Pep gave everyone 2 full days off (Weds/Thurs) didn't he so we'll see who turns up for training and then panic accordingly.

If they all went on holiday, am i mad in thinking of taking a -4 taking KDB out for Sterling? Im 8 points clear in my league, my rival has bench boost to play and he has both Sterling and KDB, but i think Sterlings going to be getting all the points again.
Unless the PL's COVID-19 protocols aren't fit for purpose, there's no way these players can be available for the game against Norwich. Testing doesn't mean you can do what you want all week and then just get negative test during the incubation period. The obvious conclusion to draw is that City will largely be playing kids and squad members in a complete dead game in their easiest fixture of the season, whilst their main players are getting some rest before the CL.
I'd be feeling pretty good if I had my free hit chip or wildcard right now. As an owner of Sterling, Mahrez and KDB, I feel a little vulnerable!
What protocols are these? Are they different from the goverment ones? They don't have to isolate or anything coming back from France as far as I know.
Like I said there's no point stressing. Pep has a presser today and if they're not going to be in the squad altogether we'll know beforehand.
Sterling & KDB out for David Silva & Pulisic. A gamble, but I hope for best.
You have already done that move or thinking about it?
Watch Pep either rest one/both of KdB/Sterling or Sterling goes in and does absolutely nothing.
I'll be triple captaining Sterling btw. Need to catch up on 40 points. Jesus, Sterling and might do Bruno/Martial out for D Silva.

I think the lot of them will play, but not the full 90.
He's gonna give all the players minutes in that game most likely, unless some of them are nursing minor injuries.
I'm trying to catch 45 points and will TC Dilva. I feel the guy above me will def captain one of Sterling or KDB, and those are the safe bets so I need to try make a left-field attempt to catch him. My mind was on Dilva or Salah but there's a chance he'll bring in Salah (he has FH) but less chance he'll get in Dilva.
I'm not sure which one of Jiminez or Greenwood to play? Leicester and Chelsea have shocking defence but I think United are far more attacking than Wolves so currently have Greenwood in there.
I’m keeping one United midfielder (along Greenwood) on my free hit. Big decision between Bruno and Martial, though I’m leaning to keep Tony now. Bruno looked shot.
That's true, but Bruno has more ways to score (FKs and Pens) so there's that. It's a toss up.
Tough one but i agree. Auba vs Watford maybe? I guess Arse are too unpredictable and Watford are fighting for their lives. I am TC'ing Sterling - seems the safest bet to make if you're playing odds but it's FF - someone is going to get royally screwed
So I'm hearing Sterling might not even play due to going on Holiday...
Any views on this from you lot?

So heading into the final week, I am 52 points ahead of 2nd place in my ML. He has Free Hit, so is likely going to go heavy on the City boys. I feel he could make up a LOT of ground on me as I have the following team, which is looking a bit weary.
Ederson
Doherty / Egan / Lamptey
Salah / KDB (C) / Fernandes / Pulisic
Vardy / Ings / Greenwood
Bench: Maguire, Traore, Lascelles (inj).
I have 1x FT and I'm looking at taking out Lascelles for Bardsley (I think he'll go for triple Burnley defence, so I should probably get at least one in there to soften the blow).
Would any of you lot risk taking any hits? Just seems really risky to eat any further into that 52 point lead. But part of me feels I should try and get another City mid in...
