Make sure you have the correct vice captain selected in case this gets postponed, I’m thinking Jimenez should bag a few against Fulham
Fantasy Premier League 20/21

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Wonder why. No news on any injury.
Out of curiosity has he scored a hat trick in the premier league?
I don’t know, but if there is a game to get your first it’s probably this one
Mane probably back after the international break so not worth it imo.
Salah or KDB for captain anyone?
Be a sneaky pick i reckon.
Probably yet another terrible idea but I’m going DCL triple captain at home to Brighton, they are wide open and Everton are on a good run. most likely KDB/Ings vice.
I need to catch up!
I’m going to. With concerns about Mahrez and Madison starting I’m going to take a chance with Jota.
Aubameyang or Vardy as captain?
Definitely not brave enough to bring in Diego Jota. Diogo Jota, on the other hand, I could be persuaded
Vardy for me.
I’m umming and erring over Salah or vardy as captain.
Who would you pick?
It's a long season mate. You don't need to catch up yet!
Everton also have injuries to Allan and Andre Gomes, with Richarlison a doubt too. That means Sigurdsson, Davies and Kean/Iwobi probably step in. Suddenly that Everton team looks a lot weaker.
Going with Sterling rather than KDB on my WC. Think that game on wednesday gave him a lot of confidence. Foden will provide me some city points too I’m sure. Can always make the switch to KDB later pretty easily as well.
Think this is the final draft:
McCarthy
Digne Robertson Justin
Salah Sterling Klich Foden
Ings DCL Jimenez
Walker Pieters,Mendy, Mitchell

Vardy's stats for the first three games looks underwhelming, but Auba plays out wide against a pretty defensive Sheffield United. Would go with Vardy.
Ahh ffs had a few drinks last night and realised this morning I transferred in Mane instead of waiting til closer to the deadline or checking this thread... Feckin covid
Long term I think I will be picking up Mane with another price drop or two. Will already be 0.6m cheaper than Salah within the week most likely. If the pens situation calms down, I think will be justified.
Wondering whether to get Sterling in for KDB.
No one in my mini league has him.
No one in my mini league has him.
A lot of people jumping on the sterling bandwagon. I'm gonna laugh of KDB bags a couple whilst sterling blanks.
Sorry for barging in, official site is getting updated, and I'm getting no information....but anyone knows how are the points awarded to the player after the game?
Something like:
Goal -> 2 points
Assist -> 1 point
Defender/goalie with clean sheet -> 1?
EDIT: Found something, looks like I was waaaaay off.

Werner again looking utterly anonymous. Dreadful pick so far at his price point - wildcard to be activated for 2 weeks of tinkering though.
I dropped him for Jiminez this week. I always had the plan of seeing how he does up until the end of the West Brom game. He got me 7 points in 3 fecking games.
You did sound oddly disbelieving.
But that's the thing with stories breaking - they tend to have an initial source, then everywhere gets on it!
He shouldn't be playing on the left, makes him totally pointless since he's literally played there about twice in his career.
I've had him in since the start but I will seriously think of getting rid of him If he fires a blank again today
Yep dreadful. Wish I'd kept Martial over Werner now!
I've made a couple of decisions this week due to decent home fixtures, but will get on the risers on the wildcard.
"When" he blanks again today
Problem is, that he totally doesn't look the part in the centre either, so he actually looks like wide might suit him.
But it's like the Dan James thing, it looks like his strengths are vanquished by a deep lying defence.
Yep doing the same myself.
Thinking to transfer out Mitrovic to Brewster and Soucek to Foden. Are any of these potential price risers or fallers? Would rather wait for the fixtures to be played out before making a change.
Mitro looks like he’s falling. Not sure if a goal today would be enough to change that. Don’t know enough about Sheffield United to tell whether Brewster will start, but he’s got to be in a lot of people’s plans.
i was disbelieving!!
in my defence, I am equally disbelieving of most things that seem to originate from social media
Haha fair do's my fantasy football brother.
I've been hit by these last min rumours and hoping they're wrong before, but unfortunately they usually end up being true!
Am still gutted by the time I was walking to watch my local boys Wycombe, and got wind that Rooney, who i'd captained at home to Blackburn, a bit of a differential bizarrely, had been left out of the squad. In the days of no VC too.
Garhh.
My plan was always to play the WC this week and if I do, I need to play it tonight to not lose out value on the likes of Son and Mitrovic. However, my team actually looks fine so maybe it's worth just holding on to it longer?
Werner is playing so deep and doing nothing. Need to sell him, but fixtures are good and he might change his role.
Cheers, I may pull the trigger today then. Even if Brewster is shit, I'm okay with that as he's only 4.5m. Sheffield United don't create or score many but they play with 2 up top, so I'd expect him to start.
Chilwell looking good. Maybe he's the best route into Chelsea as he'll definitely play if fit.
I like Pulisic and Ziyech but impossible to know how much they'll be rotated with Werner, Mount, CHO, Abraham etc

I’d like to thank everyone on Reddit for recommending Reece James.
4 goals and Werner is not even close. He must bloody go, but I know he will start scoring once I sell him.
