It is weird how few got Ronaldo. He is on fire after two doubles.

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?
Interesting. I had thoughts of hopping off the double liverpool defense, or even selling Salah. But I feel that's a luxury transfer to make. These guys even in one game can haul, plus they are playing their buddy Gerrard who'd let one slide.
They have to play full strength vs Spurs though I think, who can be party poopers. Feel like not having Son vs that Liverpool high line would be a killer (again!).
The time he scored a hat trick it barely moved my rank. Meanwhile every point Son scores brings it crashing down.
Hence never really felt the need to swap Kane for him.
Shh, don't tell! We're some who climbs up the ranks thanks to him
Dias or Laporte for my FH team?
Diego Dalot the absolute gangster will be sitting with a clean sheet as my third sub. 
Very sorry to inform you that the tables have turned and I am currently 20k!Good man.
I got to 14k and been slipping ever since. Mainly due to chasing doubles... Now I'm at 50k
Save some of that salt for dinner mate.Very sorry to inform you that the tables have turned and I am currently 20k!
Yeah, but now it is over I guess. We have 2 games left. Some teams got 5 games left.
Fair to say I picked the wrong guy in Bruno and sold him before his return.
Don't worry. I still got FH and BB... Far more sliding down the table to goVery sorry to inform you that the tables have turned and I am currently 20k!
Whats the preferred City triple? Double defender with 1 MF or Cancelo with 2 MF?
Ederson is the one I'm first trying to push in, but means dropping Pope who I'd like for 37.... Ederson is legit the only guaranteed 180 minutes, he's gonna pop Fernandinho in that defence for one of the games probably.
I have Ederson and De Bruyne already.
Had a go at FH GW36. Not worth it as I have most of the big hitters. BB it is then.
Most probably just gonna do it to accommodate all of Salah, KDB and Son.
Recipe for pain. KDB 100% will get rested.
So free Hit 36 is quite tricky. I think this is the best I got.
Schmeichel
Cancelo TAA Laporte
Salah Son Saka KDB Gordon
Richarlison Nkethia
Chelsea and Leicester players are risky. Raphinha can be worth a punt.
I think there is a clear lack of good defenders to target. Only Man City have a really good defensive double.
Chelsea very risky with rotation.

Yeah there are rumors about him carrying a knock as well.
Really? Why did I buy him over Son
. My differential. I guess I might just get Son anyway too late. Going against the form player with a double is not how I normally play.
Hard to get in with his price. Especially with people gearing up for BB
Yeah my friend removed Salah for him and I went for Bruno for our double.
Fair to say he got the better deal.
Still given that we had back to back doubles you would have thought about more people would be selling Kane, Salah, Son for a United attacker back then.
I guess mostly only freee hitters had Ronaldo.
Let's see if he plys in the CL. No point planning now.Really? Why did I buy him over Son
Everyone I have seen with lineups have him playing.
Although he might get a league rest still.
Who are the essentials?
I have no City, Son, Kane, Havertz or Mount.
Do have Ronaldo, Toney and 9 doublers (or 11 without those 2), but get the feeling it's better to try andsmash rivals with a haul this week rather than try and get to 37 and use it.
My friend has caught up with me in the league and the fecker is bench boosting with 15 doubles now. I am countering that with FH. We have exactly the same number of points now.
Ederson
TAA James Dias
Salah KDB Havertz Mount Saka
Richarlison Nketiah
Any changes I should be making?

I was a few PTS off top 1k about 4 weeks ago. Now I'm at 6k and clinging on to top 10k.
Son is killing me. Going Kane over Son has definitely backfired.

I was going to FH this week but turns out I have a full 11 of DGW plus Ben Davies on the bench
Better to use the chip in 37 I assume?

Yeah. Everyone should have a full dgw 11 this week if they've a half decent team. Of course it remains to be seen how many actually play twice. Chelsea and Liverpool will probably rotate a few in and it's always a lottery with Pep.
People are getting James on a FH while I am thinking of selling him.
I am probably keeping James. Cash and Digne got Liverpool and no other gems to get. If I sell Kane I might do James to TAA, but also tempted to do Taylor to Laporte/Dias. An Everton defender could be gold, but Noone that amazing.People are getting James on a FH while I am thinking of selling him.
Yeah he's an absolute troll. Wish I'd never brought him back in tbh but not sure I can sell when he'll definitely get an 18 point mega haul the moment I do.People are getting James on a FH while I am thinking of selling him.
I would get rid of your Chelsea players especially if your friend has the same points. No point taking risks at this stage of the season high chance of rotation. I would swap Schmeichel also. Jota a decent shout for a Chelsea midfielder as he tends to start the league games .I would be getting 3 Liverpool and 3 City on a free hit.
Exactly.
If I do move him it will likely be for one of the City CBs who do seem to have decent set piece threat themselves, but still weighing it up. I think he definitely gets rested for Leeds but also the games in GW37 and 38 for chelsea seem to be two days apart? It's possible he starts 2 out of the next 4.
Richarlison in for Weggy is tempting. Any news on a potential ban?
Yeah I think that's a fair assumption. Eurgh.Exactly.

So you're gonna just ruin it for everyone else that has him
I know someone who reckons Richarlison was actually throwing the flare to a "safe" place in between fans rather than brainlessly into the fans. That seems more sensible, but angles aren't very conclusive either way.
Doesn't seem any talk of a ban about now though. Dare say if it was a United high profile player it'd have come already.
