Someone please persuade me it's not a good idea to take -4 pts hit for trading in Shaw...

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?
It's never a good idea to lose points for no reason
Well the reason would be that if he goes up £0.1 one can't fit him into the team.
I've done McArthur to Neves because he's due to go up. Wanted a Wolves player in there anyway.

I have 1m left in the bank, meaning I could upgrade Shaw to a 5.5 when he inevitably doesn't play anymore, and could so BSilva to Pogba if he isn't starting every game. Pogba due to go as well ruins that though.

Neves in for that fraud Mhiki? Or Pererya from Watford

He's going to change price in about 10 minutes, so decide quick
I just bit the bullet and did so. His record under Silva is fantastic. And he really looks up for a cracking season with Everton. That second goal of his was sublime...reminded me of the kind of take Henry made so casual
Feck that. I'm looking at how I can get him out soon.
Mendy has just gone past the line to go up.
Mane will be soon my the looks of it.
I'll have 3 players going up (Wan B, Neves, Shaw), but only looking to sell one (Shaw). And that won't leave me with enough to get Mendy or Mane in. Annoying.

55. Not great but not bad. Zaha, Pogba and Neves did well for me! I have no Liverpool players in my squad. Thinking about getting Richarlison in with my free transfer
I have screwed up my team so much I am going to use my wildcard already. Patrício - Moses, Van Aarnholt, Trippier - Sanchez, Salah, Fred, Felipe Anderson, Seri - Zaha, Kane. My lack of experience building this shows.
I want to trade in Moses, Trippier, Patrício, Sanchez, Fred, Seri already. I think I will need to also trade Zaha to balance the fees.

Amazing, 4k, 10th in my country, joint 4th in the Caf league 
Will go and get below average next GW but will enjoy until then.
Didn't know bench boost on GW1 was a thing by the way, seems a lot of people used it.

I'm on wildcard and have a tough time to choose this combination: Alexis + Aguero, or De Bruyne + Kane.
Help please.
Help please.

If I had captained Mane over Sanchez, and played Mendy/Wan-Bissaka over King/Aguero i couldve ended with 133 points. Top scorer had 135 lol
KDB should be starting against Huddersfield right?
I honestly wouldn't trust any Man Utd attackers at the moment, and Kane is notorious for having slow starts to the season.
Second. Alexis not looking good and Aguero not nailed on with Jesus sneaking around. KdB won't be rotated and Kane will be a must-have at some point anyway, maybe not just right now.
Bit of both really, ended with 94 pts in the end, so not a bad start. Only 35 pts on the bench!Sure mate. Did you mean to have that bench or you forgot to set up your team?
I did see on Twitter, one person had 49 pts on the bench and Phil Jagielka (-3) in their starting X1, so there’s always somebody worse off
4th in the red cafe league - don't think I was ever in the top 100 for the whole of last season
I’m 9th with 101 points. I love how this thread resulted in very similar line-ups. Well go us, we are all doing well and have very, very good squads4th in the red cafe league - don't think I was ever in the top 100 for the whole of last season
Thanks, I feel better now! I have Tarkowski currently, and Burnley have mostly good fixtures for the next 7 weeks.
78 points, not bad considering Son, Aguero & Mitro did absolutely nothing for me.
Although if he carries on playing he's a bargain!
The questions is how long he does.
Very happy with 96. Double Liverpool attack worked well and am sure mendy will become an essential pick if he stays fit. Tried to transfer Shaw in for Bailly just before the deadline but can't moan, I had considered Eriksen over Mane but glad I didn't push the button.
Can't work out how to get Mendy in. It needs to be for Shaw or Robertson. Shaw makes the most sense knowing he's very likely to be rotated at some point. If he doesn't he's a bargain though, but then it's pointless saving money but having to have it itb in case he does. Aagghh
whats your team?
Foster
Wan-B Shaw Robertson
Salah Eriksen BSilva Neves
Aguero Firmino Zaha
Patricio Peltier Bednerak Stephens
Feck it, Richarlison in.
Still a good team! Cant have them all. I only have two strikers (Zaha, Aguero). But as you have Firmino, how about Zaha to Wilson, Shaw to Mendy?
Still reeling from the points I could have had from my penultimate draft team. Finished on 74 for the week.
Mata > Richarlison this week
If Mahrez is benched or gets me nothing from HUD (H) then i'll swap him to Pogba and bank the mill.

Changed the team to:
Kepa
Luiz Mendy van Aarnholt
Jota Richarlison Salah Hoilett
Arnautovic Aubameyang Tosun
Bench: Stelelenburg Sessegnon Bertrand Alexander-Arnold
Should be good?

Should I take a 4 point hit on swapping out Jota and Sessegnon for B.Silva and Neves? Or do I give those guys more time to shine?
No need to kneejerk - both B.Silva and Neves could easily blank next game and Jota/Sessegnon score, I would give it another game or 2.
6th in RedCafe's league myself, with a 103 points tally. I've crossed the 100 point barrier for the first time ever I think. Fretting over Palace, Fulham & Wolves fixtures for next week. Don't want to use a transfer this weekend so I can use 2 next week.I’m 9th with 101 points. I love how this thread resulted in very similar line-ups. Well go us, we are all doing well and have very, very good squads
My long term plan is to downgrade Salah to KDB & Aguero to Firmino. Then decide if Kane or another premium Mid is doing the business. I am super excited as I'm topping my mini-league & already have a 50 point lead over last year's winner.
I can do Shaw to Mendy straight off the bat as I have 1m in the bank, but I'll have to take a point hit now as I've already made a kneejerk change from McArthur to Neves (which i regret and told myself I wouldn't do).
Nah, Silva might as well be benched and Neves as a defensive mid won't score more than 2 points every weeks.
How many people using wildcard second week in?
I think that's a good transfer. The hit may be worth it considering City have Huddersfield at home and I don't fancy us to get a CS at Brighton.
I'd make the move before price rises but it's up to you.
54. One point above the average for me - can't complain.
I've already used my free transfer and it was to swap Cedric for Wan-Bissaka. Probably the only player from the weekend that is worth transferring in! At 4m he is a steal and looks like he will start regularly.
The knew jerkers are strong in the last few pages, i'd be wary about bringing in Neves, Kante, even Shaw .
Neves - Scored 6 goals in 42 appearances last season, and got 1 assist! He is a great little player but doesn't get that far up the pitch.
Kante - Again similar to Neves, he didn't look like he was playing in a different position for Chelsea. He will be in the 100-110 point bracket by May.
Shaw - The best he has played in a long time but we know he is liable to have a shocker, I wouldn't be too hasty to bring him in until we know a bit more.

96 - not a bad start, had 12 points with Wan-Bissaka on the bench too and all three of my strikers completely blanking.
