Seems illogical to transfer a player out just after Pep has rotated them. It's Aguero's turn next.

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.
Son I got in today. My team is currently:
De gea/Pope
VVD AWB Digne Lundstrom Pieters
Son McGinn KDB Cantwell Maddison
Firmino Kane Pukki
I am reluctant to let go of Maddison as his value is currently 7.1 but 7.0 for me if I sell him. Will lose value if I want to but him back in the future and not sure how bad his injury is. Any thoughts on who I should get rid off and get in? Have .1 in the bank and one free transfer left
Definitely De Gea for me. Much cheaper GKs returning more. He's not even getting save points as the chances we present result in goals.
Other notable mentions: VVD and Digne. Ortamedi is a good shout.
Roll the transfer and then do a double the week after shifting De Gea for another cheap gk and having an extra £1m+ to upgrade your midfield/defence
Nah I think having Martial is fine for now. His price is really low and he's a striker for us when he plays. I can deal with his injuries because my other 4 midfielders are Richarlison, De Bruyne, Mount and Maddison, who are all very good and start every week.
When I swap van Dijk for Matip I'll have £1.2m in the bank but I have really no idea what to do with that currently. Even if I decide to upgrade Martial, I'd probably go for Bernardo who is only marginally more expensive. Mahrez, Alli and Pogba are the same range but I don't want any of them (Mahrez I would love to have but not with the extent of rotation City do at that price).
I can realistically only have 4 midfielders in the team at the same time, because all my three forwards will always play and my defenders are mid-tier so having 4 of them at the same time would be overkill.
I'm thinking of ditching Digne and thinking of acquiring De Gea.
How long do people hold onto a player that's blanking. Barnes and Sterling are on a 3 week run...
Sterling should be kept IMO. People have been very hasty ditching him already. He was rested for Pete's sake, as he's played a lot for club and country. He'll probably be rested midweek too so he'll be licking his lips against a Everton defence who have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 games.
Barnes should be ditched. He's not really had chances let alone good ones in the last few games. Tammy or Haller are worthy replacements especially for the next 5 game week fixtures
Seems like most are ditching them now. Your call but just don't be surprised if it comes back to bite you in the arse.
He's due a haul considering I just sold him.
The question really is, is Martial as a striker a better option than Abraham or Wilson... But guess as he is in midfield then that adds a bit. I just don't see us scoring many goals thats the issue
Will bring back martial at some point. For now, Sterling is kept. Barnes & Kelly got the boot.
Barnes was just on a hot streak, will score sporadically but was never going to keep it up. Sterling is a season keeper for me. Expect him to finish as City's highest scorer so his declining ownership pleases me.
Cheers - How reliable is that website? And you're probably right about the training-part.. Will probably be news-worthy when he begins to train
I dunno. It's the one Ben Dinnery always links to and he's usually pretty good.
I would definitely keep Sterling if not getting rid to fund Aguero.
Debating on Mane or Sterling as captain this week. Everton are shocking but I've got a feeling Sheff Utd will get a beating by Liverpool.
Sterling & Barnes vs. Son and Vardy?
I might stick with the former because Spurs look really up and down and Sterling will be back with a bang I feel. However, Vardy could be a great premium striker... Currently on:
Pope
Digne, TAA, Soyuncu
Sterling, KDB, Salah, James
Barnes, Pukki, Abraham
Subs: Button, Lundstram, Rico, Dendoncker
P.S. Lundstram has twice come off the bench with 12 and 15 points. Season-saver so far. Always will be my first sub or in the main team. His team are solid defensively and he gets forward quite a lot.

De Bruyne looks fairly essential, but I can't quite bring myself to mash my team to get him yet.
One because they have Everton away next, and two because I have Kane with a home game this week.
Let's see how one more week goes.

Hit with injuries played the wildcard/. Any ideas would you change anything else

MID Martial

Plan next week to change Kane for Aubameyang, Arsenal have good run of games after us, (although you could say that good include us lol)

Agreed. Pick one and stick with them I say. KDB is a must have along with a defender imo. I guess the beauty of having Aguero is you can jump onto any other striker if you need to. Only Salah is more expensive than Sterling in midfield.
Think TAA is worth the money over Matip personally. Get him and downgrade Toby to Tomori or Soyunco maybe.
Wouldn't bother with Martial either. Take a Leicester mid for their decent upcoming run.
Or you could go with Vardy over Kane and turn Martial into Son maybe.
Thanks guys. De gea to go then. VVD next in line.
Martial due back and if anybody due to score for us should be him. Took out Toby and Matip want to go for TAA and Soyuncu needed 1.6. Saved 0.9 on Toby and had 0.1 so took out Caldwell for Dendockner which saved 0.5 so 0.1 short. Put in VVD for now so have 0.5 spare.
Seen Tomori played last couple match’s for Chelsea and Lampard praises him. You think he’ll start all the time of just because of injuries he would save the 0.1 choosing him over Soyunco
Did the Zinchenko to Otamendi switch which is a good call I think. Digne is on my bench this week for the City game and I think will drop so have gone for Lundstram who has a very difficult fixture himself but getting him in looks like one less position to worry about for the season. Digne will go back in I feel when Evertons form improves
I'm gonna get rid of digne I think.
And vardy for haller potentially?
And vardy for haller potentially?
Gonna get rid of VVD. Which defender should I replace him with that's cheaper. I have Lundstram, Diop, Kelly and Soyuncu.
Or should I keep him?
Or should I keep him?
Ortamendi.
Good shout. Change made. I have 1 more FT which I should be using on Martial but I've kept him this long so might as well continue.
Go for TAA if you had enough in bank.
I would hold him for the next two games. Sheffield U (A) and Leicester (H). No need to ship him out when his fixtures are good. (Leicester don't have that much goal-threat when looking at statistics)
Edit: Oh you picked Otamendi - Good choice now that you changed.
I've also moved away from Digne - Gone for Soyuncu + money for the next 3 out of 4 matches, to shift some money to attack maybe.
Aguero, KDB, or Salah captain then?
Salah seems the obvious this time, but City are flying.

This is a differential GW.
Think a Leicester fullback maybe a better choice? I have gone for Chilwell, fell 0.1 short of Ricardo. :/
Was also pondering a lot on Ricardo, but decided that Leicester this season is a little bit less gung-ho, and needed the money to upgrade Adrian now that Alisson's return is close
I transferred out Sterling and Emerson > McGinn and TAA
Now I've got 5m in the bank , my plan is over the next 2-3 weeks to transfer out Ashley Barnes and Seb Haller > Auba and Vardy and swap Zinchenko for a 4-4.5m defender.
These transfers plan always work out so well...

Salah against Sheffield has got to be the choice. As much as City are flying and can beat anyone, the odds are in Salah favour.
Nope, Aguero didn’t even play yesterday while Jesus did so Aguero is not being rotated this weekend
Hey Peeps.

So if we divide this by Fraud it comes out with Aguero rested
