I'd sell James.

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.
Ward Prowse is yet to play this week but I've already sold him for Jota with next week in mind.
Why is everyone buying Jota? When Salah is back won't he just be relegated to the bench again? Almost a similar situation to Foden.
Same. Or at least the guys I wanted to catch. Not even sure it was a smart move as we were at home, but it’s paid off for them.
Vardy first and then KDB for Fulham if he is healthy and looks good.
Then Salah against Fulham in too and maybe Jota if he looks nailed enough.
I would like to keep Bruno, but he has to go to bring these lot in.
Can't have them all. I want Salah back. I want to keep Bruno. I'm reluctant to sell Son or Kane due to their form. I want a Man City midfielder.
It's literally impossible to have them all. Sometimes you're not going to have all the best players.

Yeah you can have 3 premium players if you also want someone like Grealish and DCL. Salah, Son, Kane, KDB/Sterling, Bruno, Vardy all looking very tempting to own.
I wonder if I can cover things with Torres or Jota? Having Grealish Jota Torres Bruno Son, Vardy DCL would cover all key sides apart from Chelsea.
Yeah I think my transfers next three weeks are:
Kane to Vardy
Son to KDB
Bruno to Salah
Then I'll be left with:
Martinez
Robertson, Chilwell, Kilman
Salah, KDB, Graelish, Rodriguez
Bamford, DCL, Vardy
I will then look to downgrade Rodriguez to someone cheaper so Vardy can become Kane again.
I am thinking the same, but might not have enough money for it.
I guess that is me suffering for going with two keepers and not having the 0.5 extra to spend.
Normally I think having an extra keeper gives more flexibility, but this is one of those close moments when even 0.1-0.2 might make a difference.
Are you gonna get him in or nah? I'm literally 20 points behind now after leading, and Salah is out for another game.
Yeah I’ve been planning on it for a bit but didn’t want to take a hit and had other fires to fight. Wish I had because kdb has been utter shit.
Zaha out. What a disaster since I am getting Lamptey -1 point from the bench.
Also may need to replace him if it is Corona or something serious.
This is my first really bad luck thing so far so can't complain.
Much worse luck is possible to have.

When do you have to use the first wildcard by? I've not used mine yet and want to avoid missing out completely.
Taylor starts and Zaha doesn't!
Before GW 16 deadline.
Great thing that i picked him instead of Grealish. Bloody hell
Great Zaha out now and nobody left on the bench to replace him. 34 with 1 to play, that one being Kilman who will no doubt get dropped for no apparent reason.
Same as.
Fuming.... Just rage transferred him out for - 4!!
Was supposed to be my ace in the hole.
I am waiting for news. Ziyech is the guy I want, but he cost so much that he blocks getting De Bruyne and Salah.
Jota punt sounds good, but not sure I trust him to start enough games.
Cheaper guys aren't really producing in midfield much.
Might be mad and go with Maddison/Barnes and Vardy vs Fulham.
Although not sure I want double Leicester long term.
Same. Just put Grealish in. That was waste of transfer 2 weeks ago. I was in dilemma,between those two and chose Zaha. Now i payed more for Grealish
Gotta enjoy players you don't own getting fecked.
My starting XI right now is:
Martinez
Chilwell/Justin/ KWP or Vestergaard
Bruno/James Rodriguez/ Son/ Grealish
Vardy/Watkins/DCL
The remaining three players are just fodder, cheap so I can spend elsewhere. Any improvements for this team? I have a spare 3.5m in the bank with no free transfers, the moves I probably will do is Jota for James and maybe an improvement on any defenders or something?? thank you for the help

How long is TAA out for? Is it worth transferring him?
That Bruno penalty retake netted me the 11 points I needed to go top of 2 of the 3 leagues I'm in

What happened to Zaha? I am effectively playing with what 9 players
Zaha not playing, Mitchell not playing, Salah on bench not playing, Justin on bench has 0 pts
Lamptey in team and has -1 pts

Coady out, which means I get Robertson’s 12 points as first sub. Got away with one there 
Moral of the story: no matter the logic, do not bench one of the top players.

Saiss not even on the bench. Makes my Son/KDB decision easier, as I need another defender next week with Lamptey out.
Best defenders up to 5.5ish? Don’t want anyone from Chelsea, West Ham or Villa. I was tempted by City due to the fixtures, but probably a bit expensive given their form.

Pretty sure Saiss has Covid.
I expect a couple of extra bonus points for Pope.
Bellerin?
One of the absolute beauties of fantasy footy
A mate at work had Zaha and was looking forward to a haul tonight. Instead he gets Lamptey's -1 in.
Hilarious!
A Chilwell or someone away at Liverpool or Man City maybe.Coady out, which means I get Robertson’s 12 points as first sub. Got away with one there

But why on earth would you leave a Liverpool basically winger out at home?!
Certainly wasn't expecting it but 7 points for Taylor is a nice surprise.
Was considering him before I got Coufal. My mini league leader bought him last week and I’m about 40 points down, so not sure if it’s too early to be looking for differentials or take the safer route.

Unlucky mate. We've all had fantasy bring us down in the past.
My worst one ever was losing my work league with the old Telegraph one in our work league. I'd been cocky as frig all season and ended up losing by 1 point as Fergie bloody subbed his keeper in the FA cup final with 5mins left!
Another year I also lost the league on the last day when Chelsea bloody rested Alex and Lampard on the last day! If I could go back in time I'd have matched my rival about 3 weeks out and change Lampard to Gerrard. As he was smashing 20 pointers each week. I lost a 50 point lead with 2 weeks left and still had about a 22 point lead on the last day.Garhh
Not the end of the world. Not as bad as having Watkins on the bench for his 13 haul the week before

Well Saints have just scored so there goes your Wolves defence double up down the drain!
Imagine the odds if I did work with you
I did have Kilman though which is annoying. But at least we'll go above Wolves on goal difference I think now?
Pool's next 3 games is so tasty
Thinking of transferring in Jota since I'm still not confident Salah will be back, and who knows just maybe the 15 days home isolation will mess his consistent goal scoring momentum if he's back.
Dilemma is who to kick out... Everton's next game is vs Leeds and they are known to have leaky defenses so maybe Hames will finally reward my patience by bringing in high points this time. Grealish is also no since Villa fixture is too good until GW 15. Bruno shall forever stay for sentimental reason, unless injuries/suspensions.
Think I have to temporarily put Ziyech out. Never been a fan of gambling getting pts in big games. Spurs vs Chelsea. Son in and Kane in will have to wait until late Dec.

Well Jimenez might not have scored but at least he got an assist, and in doing so wiping a lot of Southampton clean sheet points. Should finish the week on 85 points.
