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?
People not understanding that a 2 bookings red is a single game ban only.
Bruno to Sarr and Toney to Ronaldo.
I've left Antonio in my team as they have Leeds next. Need to get rid of Maupay at some point though.

Course.
Not sure any of those, except for Liverpool are that tough a game. Especially not for this fairly decent West Ham lineup.
Sky main event are showing the highlights of today now. Not normally one for watching highlights post game, but looking forward to these and was out during the game.
Ings - Wilson - Antonio from GW1-3 has soured quickly. Think I will keep Antonio but still move Ings on.
Tougher than Southampton?
Not saying I’m going to bin him yet but come GW7, will def revisit.
Time for the tennis …
In terms of goals, we ticked a lot of boxes today. Ronaldo showed both sides of his ability with his two goals, third is nice, but I really liked the last one.
GOT TO speed up transition. Not sure if just me but when you’ve got these attacking players/their ability at speed.. stop passing forward so fecking slowly!
Taa is the player who created most chances in league this season. Plus Liverpool will have a,lot clean sheets. He is a keeper
I’ve already seen the full highlights like 10 times.
Saint-Maximin 3 returns out of 4. £6.5m. Worth a shout
Haha, fair play.
Managed to take until 6.45pm to get out of the car park at Oxford and the 30miles home, so was glad there's something decent on to soak it all up.
So Antonio out. Might switch him straight to Bamford. That's the value of keeping some change in the bank.
Had a stinker of a day (30), Torres, Barnes, Ings and Antonio with a whopping 6 points between them, need captain Salah to smash it tomorrow along with Raphinha and TAA
Yeah you needed either Lukaku or Ronaldo today cause no other forward/attacking mid did well.
Middle of the road with 35. 4 strong players left to play in TAA, Salah, Jota and DCL.
I was too safe not having Ronnie captain it looks like - captained Salah just in case Ronnie came off bench. Average score is 38, I’ll be happy to come out ahead of the average - but hopefully break 50 mark

Enjoy the 0-0?
46 with TAA Jota. Salah DCL and Gray to play. Not so bad. Could end up being a solid enough week if Liverpool v Leeds is an open game
To be fair, I always wanted to get rid of him for this GW because we are all know striker like Antonio and DCL will not continue inform forever but just couldn’t find myself to have the ball to do it since I wanted to protect his value. Now the red card just gave me another reason why I should get rid of him for someone who has much better long run fixtures like Bamford. I actually saved 0.2 extra just in case if I want to do Antonio -> Bamford when Antonio starts not scoring for 2 games in a row.
46 points with 4 players to go but those 4 were the most favourite pick among FPL managers anyway so I’m not happy with this obviously.
On positive, Torres still remains to be Pep’s starting XI option means I can still hold on to him for a little longer while Sarr looked dangerous when I watched the highlights. I must say what prevent him to make assist is actually Watford other attackers, they are shite.

44 points here too

Pickford
Salah
DCL
Doucoure
TAA to go
Still shocked with Antonio falling into a performance black hole

Is it worth getting Salah/Lukaku/Ronaldo in as a core?
I could get:
Ramsdale/Guiata (or other 4.5 keepers)
Matip/Rudiger/Omobamidele/Marcal/Laporte
Salah/Pogba/Greenwood/Kovacic/McArthur
Ronaldo/Lukaku/Hwang
Or alternatively I replace one of Salah/Lukaku/Ronaldo with Jota in the above giving me 5.0/4.0/5.0 to strengthen other positions. And maybe bring in the likes of Édouard, Torres, cancelo, taa etc.. etc..
Ideally I wanted to get to GW8 before wild carding as the international break plus city v Chelsea would of passed. But I think the late introduction of Lukaku/Ronaldo has thrown a spanner in the works. As I currently hold neither of them it's at the stage where you either get in early now or risk paying inflated prices later in the game.
Or alternatively I could take a points deduction and to a triple transfer or something to shake my squad up.

Ronaldo, Lukaku, Torres and Jota most likely going up tonight. They are all well over 100.
Why the feck is Jota increasing?
Glad I avoided Torres in my wildcard. One good decision I made. Thought he would only get 60 minutes today. Even if he had've scored he still would have only got 60 IMO.
And they still had Mahrez, Foden and DeBruyne to come off the bench today.
Southampton away next week then 2 massive games in Chelsea away and Liverpool away. They might give DeBruyne and Foden minutes v Southampton.
Could be bench for Torres.
I think with City at the minute the best approach is get their defenders. But even then no rush to get more in till after Liverpool away, after the next international break.
Time to plan transfers ahead.

Cause Firmino is out and there isn’t a definite timetable as to how long it is even though it is very likely he will back for Crystal Palace next weekend.
Wasn't ones of those can't believe it ended 0-0 jobs either.
While that made me laugh, he has more than 2 in defence.
Rudiger Matip Laporte is a strong three and then he has a Wolves guy who double figured yesterday and looks superb value at 4.5m
Annoyingly it looks like Ronaldo hasn't gone up yet.
Giving all of those who weren't sharp enough to get on him another day of scope to do it.

60 points, with captain Ronaldo and Marcal getting my WC off to a good start.
A haul from DCL and a salah blank would cap an excellent weekend.

Marcal? Nice one
42 points from 6 player. 3 delivered (CR7, Shaw and Dias), 3 failed (Benrahma, Antonio, de gea).
Meh, not happy with that.
I hope that Dcl, Taa, Salah, Gray and Raphinha will deliver.
I am annoyed with gk. Just can't pick right one. One clean sheet so far from Sanchez. DDG failed yesterday. I will sacrifice something and go with Mendy or Ederson i think

Yes, have to admit he was a very last minute change
Coady had been in my team most of the week but took a gambleI’ll be honest, missed Laporte on the end there, though Matip not guaranteed with a £50m (?) player on the bench.
3-3-2 then
You need to be able to put out a reasonable playing eleven? Just felt that team looked skinny
Let that be a lesson to be to put Ronaldo in my team when he's available!
With Son’s injury, Antonio’s red card, Bruno likely taken off penalties duties and Lukaku/Ronaldo prices about to rise I think I’m going to backtrack on my comments from previous weeks and actually use wildcard now… can build:
Sanchez 4.0
TAA Shaw Rudiger Tierney Livramento
Grealish Greenwood Jota Raphinha Gilmour
Ronaldo Lukaku Armstrong
Which feels immediately much better… I wasn’t that convinced about the idea of getting expensive forwards but it does seem like Ronaldo and Lukaku could easily justify the cost.

Thankfully I had Ronaldo
That's a solid team but a huge Salah shaped hole in there.
Maybe get Salah and then pick up Lukaku from GW7/8?
