10 points from Jimenez are golden.

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?
Keep it cheap and nasty
This just isn’t true. On another day Lukaku would have scored or assisted a couple against Spurs, he hit the post and had a goal ruled out for offside today. You can still have a premium striker with the likes of Antonio, Cancelo etc.
6 from 6!
I am in relegation form. Who is with me?
Let's be having you Auba! Went with him over Lukaku.... but might just go with Lukaku anyway post-Leicester game. We'll see.
Tomiyasu to come in for Alonso, planned for this Chilwell shit to happen. Shaw back in and it's kinda paid off as I'll be up .2 in the bank.

Chelsea have scored 6 goals in their last 3 PL games, that means he’s had 12 opportunities to be involved in a goal and he’s got nothing.
He’s isolated up top and out of form.
IMO he isn’t suited particularly well to the PL, but that’s by the by really.
He’s way overpriced for what he’s offering. As with Ronaldo, Kane and Aubergine.
That's exactly what I thought of when I read that post
I don't think that's how it works.
It’s how I look at it, and how most top FPL managers do also.
A goal equals 2 opportunities for an asset to be involved.
Don't you love fretting over your team all week and the whole lot of them being absolute frauds!
Those with Jimenez will do well. Average going to be so low this week.

Sarr captain just as bad as Ronaldo
I'm definitely avoiding the double up on Chelsea defence. It's a minefield. Will stick with Rudiger and bring in a City defender for Shaw. Probably take a hit to remove Greenwood for anyone. Ronaldo gets another game week and then he's gone for the donkey.
You’re watching different games to me, if you’re watching them. He looked sharp against Spurs and could have easily ended up with 15 points today. Again, he did score but it got ruled out and he hit the post. That’s not the game of someone who’s isolated.
Where does your money go if you only have Salah as a premium option?
I thought it couldn’t get any worse than last week…
14 from 7. Horror show. Luckily the main Chelsea guys plus Raphinha also blanked so damage limitation.
Wildcard activated. At least 10 of my 15 are nailed on to go. Some of them will never ever return (I'm looking at you Luke fecking Shaw).

This wont end well i can feel it in my bones
That makes no sense to me at all, I'm afraid.
If he came deep and passed to the assister and was the behind the play, for example, he had zero opportunities to do either.
If he missed two sitters in a nil-all is that somehow better?
My excellent start to the season has thoroughly turned to shite this GW.
18 from 6
Front line of Antonio, Vardy, Toney / Jimenez.
Then pack the midfield and defence with talent.
Keep Ron and Rom if you want, I’ll be looking to replace both as soon as I can without taking hits.
Do you now believe in my superpowers @Dirty Schwein ?
It all went my rivals way.
He got in Alonso, 1st bench Livramento.
He got in Jimenez.
At least Lukaku blanked.
20 for the captainers
That’s great but doesn’t bring points I’m afraid. Think we might have crossed wires / be talking about differing points tbh mate.
I don’t care about an 11.7 million striker assisting the assister or ‘could’ve scored 15 points’, I care about points and points only.
Lukaku has blanked in 4 games in a row for Chelsea, 3 of those being PL games, and 2 of those being games where Chelsea scored 3 goals a game.
11 pts from 4 players.
My hopes for recovery lie with Tierney and Saka but I hate seeing Arsenal do well.

I need Benrahma and Reguilon to save my week
Happy about Jimenez but most of my league rivals have already taken him. Other than that I get absolutely nothing except for Livramento’s assist, my captain Lukaku blanks and I only have Sanchez, Tomiyasu and Odegaard left - I can’t say I expect more than 6 points from them total. Salah too but everyone has him so it doesn’t matter.
I'm not saying it's any use. I just don't see what the score has to do with it. If he's regularly not getting points he's no use regardless of the score.
Each goal is essentially 2 opportunities for an attacker to bring points.
When people see Chelsea have scored 3 goals, they expect the 11.7 mill forward to be involved within those 6 opportunities. It’s what attackers are paid to do.
Look at it this way - hypothetically, if Chelsea kept on winning, but Lukaku kept on blanking, like dozens of games in a row - would Tuchel keep playing him for his ‘playmaking’ or drop him?
He'd be out of my team if he kept blanking regardless of how many the team scored.
It doesn't seem like I'm going to understand where you're coming from on is at all, I'm afraid.
You can always selectively pick games and make a case.
Both Ronaldo And Lukaku have scored three league goals. And they’ll score again
Might just feck all the premiums off
Ah okay. That makes sense. Vardy is a premium option, you can still do all those things with Lukaku in your team ahead of Vardy. I’m not keeping Ronaldo, fixtures are bad and he is not getting chances. The complete opposite to Lukaku.
If Lukaku doesn’t outscore Vardy from weeks 8-12 I’ll be surprised. I guess if you invest that 1.3 million in the right place you could still get higher points overall, but there’s not much between the midfielders at 6 million and the midfielders at 8 million for example.
Think everyone needs to calm down. The average is like 11 points at the minute. Just a rare shitty game week. They happen.
If it makes anyone feel better I've seen people in some of my leagues taking -8's and barely scraping a zero.

A defence of TAA - Cancelo - Dias - Rudiger - Azbi could be an interesting way to set up…
I don't think I have the heart to take that every week.
Only 8 players in the top 50 in the Caf league are currently beating 20 points.
