Maybe should have gone into detail that I see Jimenez as 7.5 (originally he was that)

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?
twas more FYI for the people buying him/getting him in a WC
It’s on the app (choose fixtures, then fdr) but I use this as can play around with number of weeks and get a feel for each clubs run… short term and medium. Helps my planning

A cheaper goalie may get you same/similar points and you could use cash to upgrade a fwd?Used my wildcard since I had a terrible start... I hate picking Liverpool players, but I gotta swallow my pride and just go with them
Hit the WC. Current Team:
Pickford
Rüdiger White Shaw
Greenwood Trinaco Salah Raphina
Calvert-Lewin Ronaldo Antonio
Subs: Begovic, Stones, Rashica, Williams
I will probably take a punt on Trincao and Rashica (left winger from Norwich). Both with very good fixtures and looked dangerous in spaces in the first GW's.
Only thing I'm tempted to change atm is to downgrade DCL to Dennis and Stones to a 4.5 defender (Coady?) and buy Lukaku in place of Antonio.
Thoughts?

Up to you but £2.6m in the bank seems way too much to me. Improve bench for rotation/injuries
That’s a lot better then the previous one for me.Could do this?
I've settled and played the Wildcard
Sanchez
Coady - Keane - Shaw
Salah - Torres - Grealish - Greenwood
Antonio - Ronaldo - Calvert-Lewin
Subs: Steele, Livramento, Duffy, Brownhill
Coady - Keane - Shaw

Exactly same boat as me.
Edit: just realised Tsimikas is blocking another Liverpool move

Stronger case for starting v Newcastle.
DDG only costs 5 or are you referring to the backup goalie?
Assume him starting training is visa related?
Is everyone just using a WC this week? 
I've been thinking to use it but have a feeling GW7 would be a better option to use it

I was thinking of using WC in GW7, but more I think about it, making changes to take care of the fixture swings then is quite easy - Shaw -> James, Ronaldo ->Lukaku. You might have Greenwood and DCL as well, both of whom can be changed in the following weeks, as I believe our GW7 fixture is vs Everton and GW8 vs Leicester (both decent games), without necessarily using a WC.Is everyone just using a WC this week?

While I'm not planning to use the WC and take a -8, the only reason for that is if things don't go as per expectation, I might need the WC later
Not sure. Maybe some final formalities to be completed. Some reports that he needs to go through isolation period on entry but not sure if its true.
It's more than simply the fixture swings, you'll also have more information.
Will CR7 or Bruno be in pens?
Will Greenwood keep playing?
Is Benrahma a realistic long term hold?
Things like this and much more should be far more cleared up by GW7.
Of course, but you can make one change at a time from now to GW7 as well. For example, Benrahma to Adama/Trincao/Sarr can be made in the next 2 GWs itself. Obviously, depends on the team you're having but one can avoid a WC in GW7 as well
Cheers mate
Everyone keeps banging on about the fixture swings in gw7. It's basically just Chelsea isn't it and they play a weakened Villa at home this week anyway.
Thought he was more but even at 5, could have Sanchez, not lose much (if anything) and maybe tweak another player.
Not just gw7, more around then…
Leeds are pretty good from 5-11
Liverpool play City in 7, United in 9, West Ham in 11
Spurs play Villa, West Ham, us, Leeds, Everton 7-12 (lots of mid teams)
Brentford (for the Toney/Mbuemo holders) falls off a cliff from 6
West Ham have us, Leeds, Spurs, Everton, Villa, Liverpool and City from 5-13
We go West Ham, Villa, Everton, Leicester, Liverpool, Spurs, City from 5-11 (yikes!)
Theres a lot of popular players in those clubs (I have 7 in my first 11)
I had planned to wildcard in GW7 but looking at my team I likely won't need to, as the players I want to bring in with my FTs over the next few weeks are good post GW7 as well.
Now aiming for around GW15 instead.
Plus ours. No way I want three United players for that run of fixtures. It would also mean starting to transfer out those players beforehand and missing out on good games.
Our record in big games was good last season for defenders fantasy wise. We can’t concede much. I will not take out Shaw and Ronaldo for those fixtures.
Depends if McTominay is back of course and how Shaw performs over the next few weeks. He’s been very disappointing going forward so far.
Yeah, ours was in that list. It was the "we" run, tough.
If it was one team, you could manage it by weekly transfers but when several big and / or popular clubs have a shift in fixture difficulty, it makes a WC a clearer option. When else would you need so many changes in such a narrow window?
Ronaldo at 11% ownership within 2 days.
And that's just from the people on this thread...Ronaldo at 11% ownership within 2 days.
One of the online ‘experts’ and their WC for gw4… you have to scroll down a bit.
Might be some ideas for people who want Trent and 3 biggies in their team.

Not a fan of three premiums cause that team is seriously unbalanced.
They'll be taking hits a few days later.
Sorry, I’m not sure how I missed that. It’s a horrendous run, mixed with Champions League in between. I’m failing to see how Ronaldo will outscore Lukaku in that period.
Shit decision, but pulled the trigger on the WC.
Sa (Begovic)
Rüdiger - Shaw - Reguilón (Ajer, Livramento)
Salah - Torres - Greenwood - Benrahma (Bissouma)
Calvert-Lewin - Antonio - Ronaldo

Yeah i've experimented with this and arrived at pretty much the same team. Don't really like it much though.
Is White to Livramento smart move? Or to just wait with White to gets his price back?
I know they've been shite but Arsenal have a decent run now and will surely keep some clean sheets. If you've held him through the price drop it might be worth holding him and dare I say even playing him.
Got to stick with White.
Arsenal won't stay shocking all season. They've had 2 of the hardest game, and had a hyped up Brentford in their first prem game in 70 years, while having 3 or 4 key players out with covid.
White is as smart a squad player now as he was pre season.
Glad I got Barnes out when I did, he went down in price again last night.
He's been the biggest flop so far.
Yeah same. Lesson learnt - don't bring in players returning from a long lay off. He might be an option again later in the season.
Speaking of Leicester, how harshly done by must Iheanacho feel. Was on fire for the second half of last season and it's like that counted for nothing again. I'd want out.
