Lukaku is a flat track bully, he loves these poor teams.
Right now (but not 100%), I’m Salah for pretty much these reasons. Think the COVID Super Spreaders will be up for it

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?
Firstly, Geenwood is playing in strike against a team that has at least one 9 goal thrashing in them per season.
Then, as @RDCR07 correctly states, JLingz might still be going to the Hammers so that'll mean Benrahma either gets shifted out wide or off to the bench, neither a great option.
Finally, as I said before, my nan could get a double digit haul against Newcastle. Benrahma didn't actually play that well in the match either. It's best to see how they look against a proper team, which you'll see against Leicester.
You also want Lukaku from GW7 onwards as he's a flat track bully and unlikely to get gangbuster numbers in the fixtures before then.
Just hold off mate.
I see Robertson is back in training. But I hope they rest him just for this Burnley game so I can use Tsimikas for this week. I got Coufal on the bench so he can come in for the next two weeks.
Sanchez
TAA Shaw Tsimi
Raphinha Greenwood Salah (V) Bruno (C) Barnes
Toney Antonio
Bench: Targett, Coufal, Obafemi in that order.

When the fixtures turn and you had to pick one of Son or Lukaku who would you pick?
Son is tried and tested but I expect Lukaku to pick up a brace against all the weak teams that Chelsea play against.
Depends on who is in form. Son has periods of inconsistency, every season.
I would pick Lukaku
So Arsenal this gameweek then?
I’d expect son to hit around 200 and Lukaku to be in the 180 ish range. Points per million Son should prove to be better value if Chelsea don’t just click and win the league
Mate he's getting a hat trick against them. Rumor has it that Ben White goes into a state of uncontrollable panic every night as he dreams of coming up against Lukaku.So Arsenal this gameweek then?
Hmmm. But Lukaku could be rested from time to time with so many games Chelsea will have?
Thats my exact team but Ings instead of Antonio. It’s a hard choice.
If Kane goes to City and Spurs keep playing Son up front, Son may turn out to be a good pick as more will go through him (and may be on pens). Lukaku will score goals and will have a lot of people assisting him but they may also mean the goals get shared around a bit.
Who knows though really? We’re all guessing.
I wish I’d put Antonio in instead of Ings or Benrahma instead of Barnes but I’m sticking to the template for now.
Very unlikely. Lukaku is in his prime and if in form, he will play almost all games at least in PL
Sanchez
Shaw Tsimikas TAA
Bruno (c) Salah Barnes Greenwood
Ings Toney DCL
Begovic Ayling Amartey Bissouma
Things I’m watching. Lingard might take Benrahamas place. Antonio or Bamford are probably better FPL asset than Ings. Antonio gets me .5 to use elsewhere. Will Greenwood keep playing up top/get rotated, if so I like Sarr or Trincao. I already like Raya instead of Sanchez for the cheap keeper but I’ll give it a few weeks. 3/4 more games to see if Toney will bang otherwise the money is going back into midfield. If he does happy days. My defence needs sorting out once Tsimikas and Amartey go back to the bench.

At the beginning of the season definitely but once UCL kicks in and if they face weak opponents in the league I can see Tuchel resting him for Europe once in a while.
I've just made the one sub of Sarr for Barnes and will keep 2m in the bank. Might bring Lukaku after Chelsea toughie fixtures are done.
Hmmm... thinking should I bring in:
Greenwood (Soton/Wolves/Newcastle/West Ham) for Barnes (West Ham/Norwich/Man City/Brighton)?
I really want to but not sure if it's just a sideways transfer...?

I'm planning to keep Greeny in for at least one more gameweek myself, to see if he gets shifted upfront and/or replaced when Sancho comes in.
I think Greenwood is better. He won’t get shifted out once Sancho starts. Martial and Cavani will switch up front and maybe Martial plays on the left but I think Greenwood is a pretty solid pick to play regularly till Rashford gets back. Plus our attack looks solid now. I’m not sure you can say that about Leicester. They might switch formations next game and start Nacho over Barnes.
But if you had a plan in mind beofre the start for week 3 and 4 then it’s not worth ripping up your plan to bring in Greenwood.
Greenwood till the international break and then we will see
Don't even get me started on Ben "better signing than Varane" White
There's a very good chance of this happening.So Arsenal this gameweek then?
That 7/7.5 spot was one I deliberated over a fair bit (mainly Barnes, Greenwood and Jota).
Once Tsimikas became an option, Jota fell out of the running as I now have 3 Liverpool players in Tsimikas, Salah and TAA.
That left a choice between Greenwood and Barnes. I went with Barnes because I wanted to hedge my bets a little (I already have Shaw and Bruno) but United looked so potent in attack and Barnes only got the expected 70 minutes...
So now I'm not sure how to move forward.
On one had I can keep Barnes, who has decent fixtures and saves me a transfer as well as 0.5 to upgrade Tsimikas once Robertson is back... or I get Grreenwood, who is playing in strike against a useless Soton, United looking strong also but it will mean I have 3 Liverpool and 3 United players...
It’s okay though having three Pool and United cause they are top teams and have easy-ish fixtures. It’s only for a couple of weeks. Tsimikas will drop out after next week. And maybe Shaw and Greenwood after week 6 cause of tough fixtures.
Would you ever captain Son? I think Lukaku's a good captaincy option if you can get him in your team
Thinking about it, I may just leave it. That 0.5 I saved was to easily move Tsimikas on and with Robertson already in training, it might be sooner than we think.
Sanchez
Shaw Tsimikas TAA Coufal
Bruno Salah Greenwood
Ings Toney Antonio
Steele, Smith Rowe, White, Gilmour
I have 1.0m ITB
I can do either
a) Coufal to Dias
b) White to Rudiger
c) ESR to Raphina
d) Bank the transfer
Not sure what to do.. I could also improve Coufal to Cresswell and have some money left over

Yes I would. Home games when I can’t captain Salah or Fernandes. Like next week for example if I had Son I would captain him.
I would stay put and try and move Ings and bring in Son after week 3.
D. C if you insist on using a transfer.
Just to make the 55/45 Bruno pickers doubt themselves…Some more Bruno stats:
I'm going Bruno because that Saints defence is suspect as feck and their manager isn't capable of shutting up shop. Bruno's hat-trick actually wasn't too dissimilar to Son's 4 goals at St. Mary's in GW2 last season. They're making the same kind of runs:
Same ground, same GW. History to repeat itself?

I’d get rid of ESR asap because Odegaard is going to come in and take his minutes.
I’d probably hold. Dias is great and Rudiger is… … a footballer, but both teams have tough fixtures for a few Gws?
Else (c)
i m o
I think Salah C is more safe option than Bruno since Liverpool are playing in Anfield. Most people probably do the same and have the same view but if you want differential then go Bruno or someone else other than Salah.
Thank you.. Will keep my transfer and see what happens the week after
Yeah.. But i think i can wait this week before transferring him out.. Maybe move him + a striker for Son and a bench fodder
Dias for likely City clean sheet.. Rudiger is the only person i can trust to not be rotated as much by Chelsea..
I am holding on to the transfer.. I think
I will be going Bruno.
Liverpool first up, so will be hoping for a Salah blank and then freerolling with Bruno.
Salah hauls, then at least I live in hope Bruno can roughly match it.

A very likely clean sheet and I had Dias from GW1 last season but your other defenders games look ok too? Are you dropping a United or Liverpool defender (v Southampton and Burnley?) or playing four defenders and dropping a MFer or Fwd?
Yeah captaining early Ko is dreadful.
