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.
Gameweek 29 has only 5 games so a TC could be useful.
How? TC gets you as many extra points as your captain gets regardless of how many games there are. If you TC now in DGW and your captain gets 8 points in each game it's still better than if you captain in GW29 and he gets 12. Having two games gives you a far better chance of high points total than having just one, especially as some players have good doubles this week.
Unless all you care about is having a good score for one particular week compared to others. Then TC in GW29 might make sense. But it's only then and doesn't give you any benefit whatsoever for full season points total.
this isn't relevant at all
Would people prefer Lookman or Bertrand Traore?
Both play twice in 26 and then again in 29.
I'm leaning towards Traore because he may have another DGW in between 26 and 29.

Yeah. You're both right. I don't know what I was thinking.
BB and -8 with -Cresswell -Steer - Antonio, + Areola + DCL + 4.4 Def(Who) and hope Grealish plays second game or -Grealish + lookman instead of -cresswell
Or TC Kane
Or TC Kane

Just bloody pick one!
But you're right, highly likely that Villa v Everton goes into gw28. Not that it means Traore is guaranteed to play. I will bring in Grealish for Rashford that week though if he's fit by then.
I have. I picked Traore. Just looking for someone to make me feel better
That's what I like about these FPL threads. Nobody really wants advice. They just want someone to confirm they've made a good decision.I have. I picked Traore. Just looking for someone to make me feel better
Traore is a great pick. You can expect a haul from him.
I really want solid advice on Peps rotation, but when someone claim a City player is nailed I do not trust them anywayThat's what I like about these FPL threads. Nobody really wants advice. They just want someone to confirm they've made a good decision.

.So true. But in all honesty, I did pick Traore over Lookman based on something someone said earlier.That's what I like about these FPL threads. Nobody really wants advice. They just want someone to confirm they've made a good decision.

Thanks for gassing me up with confidence though!
Mate no one can give you advice on that. I doubt even city players know who is playing until they check BBC Sport one hour before the kick off.I really want solid advice on Peps rotation, but when someone claim a City player is nailed I do not trust them anyway
I am totally lost this week about picking City players or not. Ederson is really boring unless he gets to take pens for some reason.
feck!
Remember how I said last week Grealish may be injured and then ignored this myself and then it was true? I ignored my own advice and played him.
Now Mourinho just said Vinicius will play some games in the premier league because Kane can't play them all... Do I ignore this and TC Kane as planned?
feck you Mourinho

Mate with city it's all about the coverage game. Most will have two defenders and Gundo. If you want to play safe, just have these and then everyone will cheer/cry together.
If you're brave and need to catch points, get KDB.
I wouldn't worry, Vinicius is shite and they need the pointsfeck!

I hope so. Spurs playing shit and I'm TC on Kane because I thought he will definitely play 180 minutes and on pens.
Suddenly my knees are jerking as I hear the letters D.C.L. in my head
I am stupidly on a free hit though. Should have just taken a -8/-12 and then TC instead.
Didn't want to sell too many single gameweek players, but I think it might still have been better.
Free hit is great, but I am not finding any hidden gems just for this week anyway.
Perreira might be worth looking at, he played right wing for Leicester in the last match
I am getting him I think and Digne. It is the City slots that is the hardest thing.
I feel like going with no City is risky if they go big although if they get benched you miss out anyway.
If I was on a FH I'd take Edersen and Dias as the safest picks to get two games. Then the last pick you can gamble on, I'd probably go Sterling.
I currently have Dias, Cancelo and Gundogen and quite a high probability for rotation for the latter two.
Most seem to think that Dias is safe, but they could go Laporte and Stones again.
I can afford max Mahrez if I want a midfielder. KDB is otherwise tempting, but I think I stick with Salah, Bruno and Kane.
he's the safest I reckon but nobody's 100% safe
I haven't sold Grealish or Maddison expecting them to be back next week. Am I being stupid?
Not playing BB.
Not playing BB.
That is what makes it tricky.
Barnes. Gundogan/Foden - although I think they might be rotated and only end up starting 1 GW. Mahrez if you can upgrade. Mount/Neto/Lookman as differentials.
I actually had him for few weeks earlier. He was on freekicks at that time and there was a good CS potential as well.
Of course it didn't end well and I took him out as soon as possible.
Yeah Mane over Salah might be worth a punt. In the reverse fixtures he did better.
Salah takes pens though and that is always a reason to stick with him.
Getting both and ignoring Kane is a bit tempting though. Not fully sold on Kane, but it is nice to spread your risk a bit.
Also Mahrez is teasing me, but I can't trust him at all. He can have a poor game and then get benched second game or he performs brilliantly in both games with 20+ points.
For BB26, I have 4 SGW players. Wondering whether it's worth taking a -4 for Ings (Soton with DGW27 doesn't help either)
Both aren't playing this DGW. Grealish might make an appearance in the second game but Maddison is definitely out. Better to swap them out, unless you have decent players on the bench.
Because they thought Grealish was fit and they wanted to double team him.
Caught Leicester by surprise, even though half the western world knew Friday night due to Villa staff dropping him from their FF teams.
Maddison definitely out? (I have him).
Ownership has only gone down 70k (1.24m to 1.17m).
I had 12 DGWs and was planning to use my 1 FT to swap Meslier for Pickford (making 13 DGWs).
If Maddison out, best alt looks like Barnes (form, fixtures, should play near Vardy), but this will create a -4.
Worth it?

Maddison is definitely out. Rodgers has confirmed it. You might see a bigger fall in ownership today and tomorrow.
FFS why would he say this? WHY?!?!?!feck!

Oh here we go. Rumours on twitter now that Watkins might be injured.
Just spreading the info!
Thank feck I didn't bring him in. But it makes me want to play some of my Leeds players
