Most of top guys in my ML didn't get in CR7. The ones that did, do not captain him. Brilliant!

I guess most have Antonio anyway, so Red not too big of a deal.

I couldn't take it, so I walked away from everything at the half.

Literally gasped :eek: when I just saw Antonio on a red card

And it's looking like it might be true, Traore can't hit the broad side of a barn
Didn't see the game but looking at the stats from it I'd be less worried about his finishing than his ability to get chances when they're not counter attacking.

The reason for the sudden interest in him was his increased threat, being fifth for xG among all midfielders going into the game today. Yet the stats I'm looking at show he didn't have a single attempt today.

Looked at West Ham run last night and combined with desire to put Ronnie in, thought about binning Antonio and Bruno but -4 put me off.

That went well. Going down a ton of positions by end of this GW :)
Don't worry, it was only one of the all time best players in history. You needed more evidence.

Antonio is a form player and any little break usually ends his form, it was only logical to take him out with the international break and Ronnie coming in and using my WC for it, shipped Antonio, martial, Bruno, Reece, peirera, ayling, son and jota out for, TAA, Ronnie, havertz, Pogba, raphinha, tanganga and Kilman, wish I started kilman over tanganga.

It was time to jump off Benrahma and Antonio anyway.

Antonio, Benrahma and Tsimikas have banked some nice ££ to start the season

Thoughts for those who didn't bring Ronnie in.
I didn't think he would start to be honest and went for Lukaku instead. Wondering if I should wildcard and have both Lukaku and Ronaldo, but United's schedule isn't very good til December. However, Ronaldo could be 13+ by then.

Benrahma Is looking like one of those red herrings. Antonio is the real deal.

It's brilliant to have an array of United assets (beyond Bruno) to choose from. For the first time in years, I'll be maxing out my United quota throughout the season (choosing 3 of Ronaldo, Greenwood, Shaw, Fernandes and Pogba - I'm currently on first 3 but any combination could be a success).

I’m really disappointed that I bought Benrahma in after the first two weeks. I’ve now got no idea where to go with him, Antonio and Toney.

Do I just replace Benrahma with Raphina and swallow another drop for Toney? I don’t see another option for 6.4 million. Hwang is promising, but feels like a risk to get him in already.

Why the rush to get rid of Antonio? Before today he was the inform striker.

Ya know if I bench or sell him, he'll score two the following week

Even though I don't have Ronaldo I'm not too bothered about it at the minute.

Alot of those who got him in have already wasted their WC or took a points deduction to do it.

How much is Edouard? Armstrong and the Burnley striker could be risque options too.

Not bringing in Ronnie could prove to be extremely costly for me here...
How predictable. Still, I would've had to have swapped Bruno out to get him in, so at least Bruno got some returns. Just did the standard Jota and Ronnie in now before Jota rises again tonight. Need something big from Salah tomorrow (shudder saying that) but delighted my biggest ML rival cappad Antonio.

Not sure what to do with Antonio.

If I was to transfer him out it would be a permanent switch for someone like Bamford who has:
Newcastle, West Ham, Watford, Southampton, Wolves and Norwich next.

Unsure about Jimenez since his come back. He’s not getting the points he used to.
Edouard could be one to bring in at 6.5m and just leave him there.

With Bruno and Lukaku both scoring it shouldn't be too bad for those who didn't get Ronaldo. Even more so if Salah returns against Leeds.

6.5 mil. I’m 0.1 away because of Toney’s drop. Even then he has a horrible fixture next, which is when he would most be needed with Antonio out. Southampton have a stinker of a fixture too.

Mount is in my starting XI. Hope he stays on the bench tonight. But clearly he’s coming on, isn’t he? :nervous:

80th min will be a good time for Mount to come and get 1 pt. Stops my ML mate from getting Zaha points :D
