I see KDB isn't getting much of a look in. I'm currently trying to toss up between him+Broja vs Raph+Vardy. I think there's potential in both, though perhaps more "safety" in the latter option.... Lukaku getting injured has really put a spanner in the works!

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.
I very strongly considered bringing him in this week but it would've had to be as a part of a -8 and tbh he's nowhere near justifying that £12m price tag at the moment.
Who do I bench?
TAA, Azpi, Cancelo, Dias, Livra
Salah, Raphinha, Mbeumo, Foden, Brownhill
Vardy, Antonio, Hwang
TAA, Azpi, Cancelo, Dias, Livra
Salah, Raphinha, Mbeumo, Foden, Brownhill
Vardy, Antonio, Hwang
Livra and Hwang. Nice team
.I am playing my WC this week so it makes it somewhat less painful, but I agree that the price tag is quite high.
My team at the moment is:
Guaita (Sanchez)
Azpilicueta Rudiger Livramento (TAA White)
Havertz Townsend Raphinha Salah Mbuemo
(Hwang) Vardy Antonio
Tempted just to confirm and be done with the constant back and forth!
Thanks. Yes, have them as 1 and 2 right now. Feeling like Hwang should play this one though.Livra and Hwang. Nice team
FFS
I got Livragangster on the bench but I can't handle another Jimenez 86th minute cameo
I'm just gonna pretend I didn't read it.FFS

It's a gameweek where you can even captain Alonso and make a masterstroke.. So hard to pick a solid captain seeing the fixtures.
TAA and Salah.
How about Antonio for captain this week? At home against a not so good Spurs defense.
Knew
TAA 4 goals conceded + red card after getting schooled by Rashford. Salah only chance ruled out by VAR, booked for diving. Seems like the right call.
Knew the reply as soon as I saw the name on the notification.

No. Captain Antonio almost always ends in tears
How about Toney against Leicester? They have a really bad defense and their starting central defense played Thursday night.
If you are looking for the differential, seems an ok-ish gamble. Toney has looked lively in games, but not that good on the FPL points table though. But Brentford likes to score, so there is that.
Someone nailed from a top 4 team who is also in form and with 2 good double gameweek fixtures.
This strategy has got me like 8 points total in the past 2 seasons
Who the feck do I bench here?
Ramsdale (Foster)
Cancelo Dias Rudiger Christensen Livra
Salah Raphinha Grealish Son (Luiz)
Toney Antonio Jiminez
Foster and Luiz benched already but need another 2 dropped.

Livra and Jimenez maybe. I wouldn't worry as I'm sure that Pep and Tuchel will make that decision for you.
Feels so filthy giving Salah the armband before the game at Old Trafford
Yeah I nearly hope 2 are left out to make the decision irrelevant. I'm thinkin at the minute of benching Dias and Livra. Think Brighton could nick a goal and Cancelo has the better attacking potential. He could be the one rested this week though. Definately don't want to leave out Jiminez against a Phillips less Leeds but only starting training yesterday was news to meLivra and Jimenez maybe. I wouldn't worry as I'm sure that Pep and Tuchel will make that decision for you.
Yes because being a fan is about what you want to happen and captaining Salah is about what you expect to happen. 2 very different things. I'm not captaining him mind because I expect us to be up for it.
What does everyone think about Son / Vardy vs Kane / Havertz?
Benching TAA in draft or would you rather bench Mane?
Christensen and Rudiger should get 6 I think if they play.

Son/Vardy is the long term move. For this gameweek I rather have Kane and Havertz.
In my draft, I need to bench one out of Jimenez/Townsend/Firmino/Jesus. Which one?
If Tuchel does with Rudiger, what Pep did with Dias last week, then you are fecked.
Yes I had Dias as well haha. I think Christensen is more likely to come on if he do not start to rest Rudiger.
I think they both start though, but you never know with Chelsea.
Ever since he joined I have got burned in fantasy.
You got to say he makes it hard for the other teams to read his lineup etc.
Last min chaos... Saiss or Tierney
Firmino.
Anyone heard news about Saka’s injury? Is he likely to start?
How is that possible? Unless he had an injury of course.
I’ve given myself a massive benching headache. ESR, Mbeumo, Livra are all options to fill one spot. I’m on ESR at the moment, but actually thinking of switching to Mbeumo.
Then I get this Jimenez information thrown into the mix.
So start Mahrez or Saka for draft? I think both can play less than 60. Mahrez higher ceiling with pens, but also have a feeling Pep benches him since he played 90 minutes in CL.
Im going all in this week, Havertz as captain.
Start Saka or Jimenez? Both seem like they are doubts to start their respective games.
If Jimenez is not starting, he better stay away for the whole 90 mins.
Still don't have a clue on Captaincy.
My bias is showing, but i'm tempted to go Ronaldo again.

Go for it
Fecking frustrating last week!!!
