In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Broken into top 120,000.
Hazard and Aubameyang left to play. Hoping for hatricks for both in 4-3 losses to West Ham and Everton respectively.
I got rid of Gundogan as well for Fraser. Bloody pissed about that. Could have had +12 or so more points.
I've got 2 or 3 players in my team that don't really do anything for me but aren't completely budget. Kante and Daniels for example. I'm tempted to downgrade both to complete budget just so I can upgrade a player alot more.
Could swap 5.0 Kante for 4.4 Hojbjerg (who had 20 points to be fair) and 4.4 Daniels for 3.9 Kelly - and I now have 1.1 in the bank.
Means I could bump up my 5.6 Ings to Gray/Wilson/King (unfortunately I'll be 0.2 off Mitrovic).
Undecided yet.

Yeah he's got to go before he drops again. Not sure about Trippier though. He's another one that's prone to random rotation and I could do without that headache. Thinking Smalling, Vertonghen or Laporte at the moment.
Probably replace Pedro with Richarlison too while I'm at it for my first -4 of the season.
Who should I replace Eriksen with?
Who else in your midfield?
Maybe get one of the <7m guys like Richarlison or Maddison in, or both as you'll have some to spare. They're more attacking than Neves and Jorginho too, so can hope for more points. Sane also an option, especially with Mendy out, think Pep said it's one or another playing and the latter one is out injured. Or just go crazy trying to figure out how to fit in Hazard
Any tips please? Doubling up on Leicester advisable?
Anyone seen the full Liverpool game? From the stats it seems as if they didn't create that much?
Content whether to keep Salah. Was involved in the things against Soton. Everyone's probably shipping him now, but that could also be an opportunity.

I wouldn't worry about doubling on Leicester. They have Newcastle away, Everton home, Arsenal away, West Ham home, Cardiff away, Burnley home, Brighton away, Watford home and Fulham away before facing Spurs, Chelsea and City in December. Both Maddison and Vardy should give decent returns. Maddison to Moura doesn't seem like much of a downgrade anyway.
Salah dropped to 12.9.
Wow that is one bad midfield. You need to upgrade atleast 2 of Neves/Billing/Jorginho
Loads of good options like Maddison, Pogba, Richarlison, Fraser, Hazard etc
I know, I had Cairney before billing and he got injured.
I think you should go for it. Liverpool are having some tough fixtures so getting in Vardy is smart. Mitrovic for Wilson is a bit tricky. Mitrovic has relatively tougher fixtures but is more dependable. So it's a 50/50. Moura to Maddison is also sensible as Spurs will be stretched with CL whereas Leicester only need to focus on one game a week. With Son back, Moura might even get dropped or rotated.
Maddison in Eriksen out
And 3.3mil in the bank

Jorginho and Kante have been disappointments for me points wise. Wan-Bissaka on the other hand!
But to be honest, those types of players never do well in fantasy league. I know Kante is playing further forward, but still, didn't ever think he'd get more than an occasional goal or assist.
I’ve thrown points away needlessly. Made Aguero captain before I went to get my hair cut yesterday morning but I must not have clicked save, so it stayed on Hazard. 6 points wasted.
Wan-Bissaka with 9 points sitting on the bench even though all week I was 99% sure they would get a clean sheet.
15 points gone due to stupidity.

49 points for me this week..
Thanks! I think I’ll go for it.
I have regretted getting in Moura ever since I confirmed the transfer. My fault for getting sucked into the hype.
Leicester have a nice run of fixtures and having no midweek distractions really is a bonus not to be overlooked, good point @AgentP. Should get a few price rises with them two also.
I like the idea of Mitrovic as he is now in the same price band as Arnatouvic and Zaha, so it will be easy to switch him for one of those two if needed down the line.

On 70 with Richarlison to play. Weird considering there were no big hitters for me this week but as a collective, got points across the board.
Wish I went with my gut and got in Maddison ahead of Lucas Moura but I became a sheep. Suppose I will probably make the switch next week.

3 points wasted for the Haz-Kun save issue. Hope that makes you feel slightly better
If it makes you feel any better you only lost 3 points on the captaincy.

Thanks lads, I feel slightly better now. Brain is switched off on a Sunday. Hopefully Richarlison can make me feel much better.

I was led to believe Jorginho is/was an assist merchant.
Same
On 51 points with Schurrle to come in for Pedro so will end with 53 points. Lascelles on my bench with 6 points would have been better than Cook with his 0. The only change I could have made though.
Should I swap Pedro out for Richarlison? I have one FT.
This is my team currently:
Patricio
Shaw Wan-Bissaka Cook
Pedro Mane Pogba Maddison
Lukaku Aguero Mitrovic
Subs:McCarthy, Schurrle, Boly, Lascelles

I would say the change would be beneficial but personally, your team is too attack heavy. You dont have any of the premium defenders (Mendy, Alonso, Robertson or Trippier) and you probably need Hazard in there also.
Maybe drop Lukaku for someone cheaper and upgrade Pedro to Hazard?
Yeah, seems like there's so much value in the defence and midfield this year that it's unreasonable to have two premium attackers in your side.
First meh week with 56 all out.
Think I'll ditch Mendy and Pedro before the night is over. First hit of the season.

I want to get rid of Moura and Neves and get in two of Richarlison, Fraser and Maddison. Which one should I leave out? All three look like excellent options.
58 points, going to have a decent drop.
Who's the Stevenage Allstars? Bastard's giving me my first loss in Caf's H2H league

Do you think Mitrovic, Hazard and Maddison will raise till the next gameweek?
Check here, those closest to 100 are likely to raise. And on the last points, those near -100 are likely to fall

67 all out. Still hovering around 20k OR. Pretty happy with my start but it could have been even better. I've had at least 1 goal or assist every weekend so far from my captain choices so pleased with that.
Aguero captain next weekend me thinks.

thank you kindly
Pogba.
58 points!
Ny bench options are too good, making picking my 11 a nightmare.
Dumped Wilson and Medny for Mitrovic and TAA.

They have Huddersfield and Cardiff next.
Maddison or Fraser?
