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?
Benching Saka looking like another season definer. Eurgh.
Saka first on my bench.
Anyone in the Wolves area that can mess with Ait Nouri or something?

Should have press bench boost with TAA and Saka on your bench
Saka, you done your job today for my FPL. Now let's hope Watford can score another one to make it 2-2.
At least the guy I did consider benching are doing well.
Can't fault bench boost with TAA, Saka, Cancelo and Son bench as my weakest single gameweek players.
Although you can say I could have benched King over them even though he got a double.

Took a hit to put Smith-Rowe in as thought he could get some points and plays in GW30.. but out.
Will have to make do with my first sub.... Toney

A Tierney and Dennis contribution would be nice.
fecking hell someone still got Toney. Well played.Took a hit to put Smith-Rowe in as thought he could get some points and plays in GW30.. but out.

Well except in the biggest DGW this year of course, of which everyone hauled(either by TC'ing Salah or anyway of chasing that DGW)
fecking arsenal attackers have killed my rank all season.
I had other fires to fight but to be honest, I thought their run in was good (on paper) and Brentford have something to fight for/top players won't be rested
I must say I regret my plan of WC in GW27 and bench boost in GW28 despite of having Saka and Robertson on my bench. I could have just take -8 in GW27 so I don't have to force myself to play bench boost in GW28.
The issue is the middle sentence.
There's no issue per se with looking for DGWs but you still have to bear in mind the player, his team and the opponents.
If it's James for Chelsea v fodder x2... go for it.
If it's shit, playing for shite, against top x2... don't.
Too many Twitter experts with large followings say "happy with my team, 10 DGWers this week, 9 next week". So what if they get 2 and 2?
I forgot Chelsea existed let alone they had a dgw…
Well I still got King
.I’ve basically got three players, hoping Kane makes it four.Well I still got King
Despite having two players down and a -8 for the bench boost it is not looking that bad. Saka has really saved it since he was someone I was going to bench.
So if Digne plays the second game and gets 5-6 points and King just get 1 it is not a total disaster.
For green arrow the only saving me is Reece James red card.
My problem is the 10 players I got left are all kind of highly owned and not really my best picks.

Just bagged me 18 pts between Lacazette and Sake
Don't have any players from either Manchester side. Would be nice if it wound up a 1-1 draw with two OG's

I'm lucky I played Saka.
Changed my Wildcard last minute to favour more GW29 doublers, so had space for Saka this week.
Do think there is something about not giving too much weight to doublers though. If it was a single GW, I'd always play Saka over Broja for example, because I think Saka is much more likely to get a return. Broja has the double, but double of 2 is still less than a single return from Saka.

When you’ve got DeBruyne on the bench with no chance of coming in
Why would you bench such an expensive player.When you’ve got DeBruyne on the bench with no chance of coming in
I was hoping for an United performance today and keep him quiet, so went with a DGWer instead.
I did that with Saka, but you were pushing your luck with a premium player against our crap defence.When you’ve got DeBruyne on the bench with no chance of coming in
It’s the hope that kills you.
You’ve really really over estimated us there.When you’ve got DeBruyne on the bench with no chance of coming in
Ward-Prowse out to Saka for 29 ?
Yep Saka plays in 30 as well.
Who needs de Bruyne when you can have Joe Willock.
I'm planning on playing my free hit then. But JWP has blanked for four games and Saka looks on it.
I don't know what else to use my FT on
Sa
Cancelo Robbo TAA
JWP Coutinho Mahrez Salah Bowen
Maupay Dennis
Bench: Ward, Livra, Weghorst, Lamptey
1M in bank.
Didn't know there were that many in the cafe league!Into the top 900.
You're sh!T at this game.
And what's worse is my team always seems either identical, or a bit worse
Im sniffing at a drop of 1 mill spots just in the last three gameweeks. I deserve a medal !
Sorry @Dirty Schwein ... Sandikan took his anger at our players out on you.
I was strangely relaxed today, as I seem to be one of the few who actually realistically realised if we can't beat Watford, Burnley and Boro how the hell are we not losing to City.
Yet the forums are awash with almost surprise.
Plus the big picture...Liverpool not winning it, and ticking off another Klopp year done.
Some bizarre decisions made this gameweek. People benching the likes of TAA and Saka is madness despite their single match. Main rival who gets little wrong took Saka out for Oriel fecking Romeu for a -4. Seen wild carders bringing in 11 doublers, again missing players with cracking single fixtures. Last week it cost me with Burnley, when will we ever learn
Alright captain hindsight
Salah was a no brainer to play, and blanked. That's the game sometimes, risk and reward.
I thought I'd got it decently with TAA, Salah and Kane singling, but ballsed up with Saka. It happens. Switching him for Romeu is madness though. At least my midfield choices (bar Salah!) could still do the business in game 2 (though probably won't

Just think it's madness benching the likes of Salah and TAA for their 1 game. Cancelo would be in that category also. Maybe there was better bets than Saka to start (without having gone through them all) but as a non owner I'd have had him ear marked for the wildcard this week if I still had it, not shipping him out.

I've made all manner of sh!te decisions this season. Just amazed I'm still in the mix for some dough in my work league (8th, or was...haven't dared check yet! out of 82!)
The problem with wildcards is often that it's almost inevitable a decision on it goes wrong, by sheer percentages, if you're taking out 10-12 players, some of them are likely to haul. Same with who you bench, and same with who you bring in.
I binned Cancelo so was pleased he conceded at least!
And I do have Saka, just benched! He's a critical week 29 & 30 guy.
You're sh!T at this game.
And what's worse is my team always seems either identical, or a bit worse
He's right. I deserve it
