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.
Love the repliesJust swapped Aguero, Haller and Tielemans for De Bruyne, Firmino & Pukki
Couldn't quite afford Sterling unless I got rid of Pulisic but they play leaky Norwich & someone on here recommended keeping Pepe. Was very close to using the wildcard already
Also KDB had the arm band on last game so I'd like to think theres less risk of being trolled by Pep
Watch Aguero go and get about 5 goals, assist Sterling for a few and Pep bench KDB!!!
I may then give up as I'm already floundering in my work league...
Oh great I forgot about Mane.... dont think I could have afforded him but probably should have tried to work him in

Settled on this:
Ryan
Digne AWB Zinchenko
Sterling KDB Martial Mount
Kane Rashford Pukki
Pope Kelly Lundstram Cantwell
Ryan
Digne AWB Zinchenko
Sterling KDB Martial Mount
Kane Rashford Pukki
Pope Kelly Lundstram Cantwell
This is strong. I like that the 2 keepers are 1st choices. The defense is quality and not too expensive which I feel people fall into the trap off. KDB will be a fantasy revelation this season (injury permitting). Nothing needs to be said about Sterling. Martial listed as a midfielder is manna sent from above. Kane will get you 20 league goals guaranteed.
Thoughts on mine
Henderson
TAA Maguire Digne
Sigurdsson Martial KDB Tielemans
Kane (C) Rashford King
Pope McGinn Hanley Kelly
Pope or Heaton for this GW, can't decide.
Anyone thinks triple captaining Kane is worth this week ? Or could there be a better opponent for anyone else ?
Took El Ghazi for Robinson. Easier upcoming fixtures, more firm starting spot and he plays tonight and I’ll be drinking and watching the game which adds to the entertainment. Player in that spot will probably not feature in more than 15 games for me this season anyway.
Christ that's NSFW.
Very similar to mine except I've gone for Firmino over Rashford, Pope as perma keeper and KWP instead of AWB which I hope will pay off in the short term before I switch him out.
Henderson
Walker-Peters, Van Dijk, Maguire, Boly
Martial, Sterling, Mane, Trossard
Rashford, Firmino
+ Ramsdale, Dunk, Cantwell, Martinelli

No faith in us I see...very sensible. I'm going against all my FF morals with three United players. Normally have three Liverpool to soften the blow.
I transferred out TAA to get KDB. So my defence is very weak but I’m hoping my midfield will make up for it plus more. Any advice or thoughts for my team:
Adrien
AWB - Pieters - Lundstram (Basham)
Salah - Martial - Sterling - KDB (Cartwell)
Kane-Pukki-Greenwood
I’m thinking of having Greenwood rather than Cartwell in case he comes on and scores but if he doesn’t play then Cartwell will come in. Or would I be better off starting Cartwell?

That is a very nice balanced team!

Toying with kicking Vardy out of my team. He a decent price and he ain't getting the points so far
Dendonker vs burnley at home or Lundstram vs Leicester at home? Who should I start?
So who's GW3 Captain for everyone then?
Very close / difficult one to call this week between Sterling & Kane for me.

I have the same dilemma, Sterling would normally get it for me but I think Kane could have a field day playing Newcastle at home. So I would go with Kane.

I'm killing myself here looking at the betting odds, history vs respective opponents... Sterling has 8 goals and 2 assists in 12 games vs Bournemouth in his career and has me constantly 2nd guessing myself.
Kane will surely score vs Newcastle though, I'd be shocked if he doesn't.
Kane for me, Newcastle look woeful
I think lot of players are thinking short term. I was one of them before and after 3-4 gameweeks lost my patience and didn't care to much. This year I'm going for more long term thinking. I was one of them thinking (and still think) Kane is good shout for triple captain but will pull the breaks. He will still be my captain for this week and I hope for some goals (2 is enough) but I will save my tripel captain for Salah/Martial/Sterling when they play against weaker side. In my mind right now is Sterling against Newcastle in few weeks time.
I'd hold on to Triple Captain until for a week when one of the premier players has 2 games in one GW. Around the CL season.
That's my strategy anyway.
Fecking Ndombele
You just know whoever you don’t pick will score a hatrick, damn Murphy and his stupid law. I guess if you really are in doubt then go with Sterling as you have stats to back up the decision, myself I am going to go with Kane as I have a good feeling. Good luck with whoever you choose!
I put Kane as my captain and Sterling as VC. Don't trust Salah
That's when I'll play it too if I'm still invested by then.
I've Kane myself but still mulling it over and probably will do right up to the last minute
Same, I took Salah out to get Kane. But then again, Salah's record vs Arsenal is insanely good too.
Makes sense. Thanks
Cheers mate.
My team for this gameweek:
Pope - vs Wolves - Not ideal, but I didn't want to waste one of my free transfers on this one.
Walker-Pieters - vs Newcastle - As long as he starts, I'm optimistic of a cleansheet.
TAA - vs Arsenal - Unlikely cleansheet, but difficult to drop TAA given he's a bonus-magnet and deadly in the attacking sense.
Zinchenko - vs Bournemouth - Cleansheet more likely than not.
Digne - vs Aston Villa - Tricky one away but same as TAA.
Martial - vs Palace - Playing as striker against this shitshow.
Sterling - vs Bournemouth - In for Salah, could no longer see past him.
B.Silva - vs Bournemouth - Basically his last chance - I'm still tempted to drop in Greenwood instead of him in the starting line up. No idea if he'll start or not.
Sigurdsson - vs Villa - Another bastard who isn't getting any points but dropping value like the pound. His last chance too.
Kane - vs Newcastle - Captain.
Deulofeu - vs West Ham - Transferred him in for King. Bit of a wildcard but Watford seem to have alright fixtures coming up and I reckon they'll hit form for this game.

It's interesting reading this.
As I currently have
Salah, Sterling, Kane, plus Van Dijk and Martial.
Also in there are Ceballos, Ederson, Maguire and King, so I'd hardly say it's the big hitters and a team of chumps!
There's 2 x 4m defenders, but as one of them got a 14 pointer last week, and the other got 6 on the opening day, they're hardly dead weight.
The only dead weight player in the team is Greenwood, but 3-5-2, or 4-4-2 has worked well so far.
The thing you're ignoring by focusing on a "points to cost" ratio, is that they might not be good captaincy options.
That's where the big hitters, that you're leaving out come in.
Cheers guys.
I've gone Kane Firmino and Pukki.
Salah or Mane will come back into my team at some point for sure but they don't look essential over next 5-6 games.

Not really, just prefer other options rather than the default ones. I’m quite confident I will do well in my league without them. Mane especially I would be surprised if none of Martial, Rashford and KdB outscore him this season. At least one of them will. Possibly all three.Are you trying to obtain the lowest score possible?
No Sterling, Mane or Salah?
Sterling n KDB are essential looking at City's next run of fixtures. My word there's guna be some blood baths in that run.
Fair enough. I just prefer to have a lot of good players in there rather than a top heavy team. I did it last season to a large extent too, never had Salah, and won the league over people who had him without any problem. I had Sterling in for maybe a third of season.
So my starting 11 is in and I’m absolutely delighted with it considering the run of fixtures they are all facing . Wildcard played though but some point scorers on the bench at least and plenty of high value players to sub out if i need to free up funds.
Pope
AWB - Digne - Pereira - Pieters
KDB - Martial - Mane - Son (C)
Firmino - Rashford
Subs - some keeper, that Lundstrom 4.0 geezer, Guendozi and Wickham.

Pretty sure Sterling & Salah won well over 400 pts between them last season. It's almost essential to have 1 of them in every game week.
I've taken Salah out this game week and the only players I had in mind was 1 of either KDB or Mane, opted for the latter.
Sigurdsson is getting a hattrick tonight.
