Actually my question was stupid. If I get Son, there's no way to get Ronaldo unless I downgrade Cancelo to 5.0... not worth it. But Son does scare me...

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?
Yeah. That's been an issue the whole season. But I'd rather keep a premium defense and a premium spot for a forward because it's much easier to manage. If Spurs fire there shouldn't be too much of a gap between Son and Kane.
Grr Son went up last night
That’s my exact defence except chilly for white. On fixtures it makes sense but leaving out a 6 mil defender feels wrong, are you feeling confident?
Son the up!
Anyone see Spurs in the European Vauxhall Conference League B?
Just wondered how Son played (though not a great game/opponent to judge it on).

I'm settled on this for now. Anyone feels anything should be changed?

Yeah, I still don’t know what to do this week. Hard to pick an XI, and I also have 2 FTs and £1.4m ITB.

Toney(v) Vardy Antonio

The benching situation feels like I need to play four from Cancelo, Dias, Duffy, Foden, Antonio and Raphinha, before benching two. That’s before transfers though.

- Maybe it is time to sell Antonio? The next seven fixtures are ugly and he could well be benched for three of next five. Bought at £7.5m, can sell for £7.8m, but would cost £8.2m to get back in GW16, or more likely GW18.

Why is Antonio getting benched?
I’m talking about for my fantasy team. Not sure how much I fancy him against Chelsea and City. Need to have a look at possible depth for the those gameweeks.
I'm keeping Antonio and playing him until he picks up a knock. West Ham are a top 6 side and he can score against anyone I feel.
Also, like you said an absolute pain in the arse to get back if you do sell him.

There is going to be real tears this week with some of the bench scores.
The more I look at my squad, the more I think Raphina might actually be the one to drop to the bench this week. I didn’t really consider it before.
Anyone got the balls to armband the likes of Vardy this week and go against Salah?

Is Bobby Firmino going to play?
Has a hamstring injury so probably not. I'm considering Jota but worried he might not play after the break..
Not a bad shout. Raphina's next three fixtures also look a bit crap: Leicester (H), Spuds (A), Brighton (A)
I’m considering Havertz to Jota and Vardy to Kane next week - as you say, concern is whether he loses his place.
Yeah I can't be arsed with him because of it. Great player and points magnet but too much of a rotation risk.
There's so few alternatives. ESR is one but Arsenal's next 5 fixtures are bad (only 2 good ones).
Trossard I'm thinking as a wild shout given Brighton's easy fixtures.
Is Ronaldo to Kane worth a - 4 hit.
Kane will surely start to hit form under Conte and don't fancy much from United against City.

Even the last remaining green fixtures in his run are Brentford and Crystal Palace, who are doing pretty well.
I might downgrade to Gallagher soon, or you could even do Rice or Brownhill (gulp) as a bench filler, which gives more ability to fit Son and a premium striker.
If you've kept Ronaldo until this point, certainly don't take him out!!
And definitely not for a hit. That'd be madness.
Ronaldo could easily score 1 against City. He should have had a goal v Liverpool, even in a 5-0 smashfest where we looked a shambles. Still surprised VAR ruled that one out.
Very difficult week really.
I'm currently looking at the below
Ramsdale
Chilwell Duffy TAA
Salah (c) Foden Townsend Rapha
Vardy Jimi Antonio
White, Cancelo, Brownhill, Foster
Not 100% comfy with Cancelo benched, but who in that 11 do you leave out otherwise? Duffy is home to Newcastle.
White has a good fixture too, but I have Ramsdale in goal, and you can't either leave TAA, Chilwell or Duffy out over him surely. And always better to play attackers.
If i were to look at subs I'd either do Townsend to Smith-Rowe (but he has Liverpool and United aways in next 4), Cancelo to James (but then which of that back 3 do i leave out etc)
Probs best to leave it alone, then do 2 transfers post ints.
I want to be getting Ronaldo in fairly soon I'd say.

Confident that it can be a good week but I can quite easily seeing one or more of the guys on my bench getting points.
I'm benching Cancelo as well and playing

Chilwell Rudiger Duffy
ESR Salah Mbuemo Havertz
Antonio Ronaldo Jimenez
Subs: Steer, Cancelo, Allan, Williams
Havertz in the bin next week for Son.

Townsend? Everton are crap especially without Doucoure who was the only creative force in the team. Townsend is bang average to do something on his own and facing Spurs with a new manager.

Don't wanna hear any crying about benched points after this gw. You've got a bench boost chip for a reason.
DId Ronaldo and Allan to Toney and Son this week. Cant see the value in Ronaldo for the next 3 game weeks (hope I'm wrong!). Brentford and Spurs have good fixtures on paper - but who bloody knows. Will be looking to ship Havertz this week for Mount/Foden if he blanks again.
I know I got good advice a day or 2 back about using the bench boost for a double fixture gameweek to ensure the starting 11 are playing but I really don't think I can turn it down this week with whats available and after having 25 on it last week. I've also had 3 red arrows in a row and want to get a bit of momentum going again. By the time a double gameweek comes around I might be squeezing more premiums in and have Brownhill and Obafemi as fodder

I'm debating if I should go Mbuemo or stick with Salah. Top of my mini league by ~2 points, so I don't know if I should protect or continue to attack.
Mbuemo is a hell of a gamble, but could be inspired.
It’s tempting. I even have a playing goalkeeper. Not having to worry about this on the next wildcard would be useful. It’s always unlikely that you can field a full squad with double fixtures anyway.
Any non-fancy replacements for Alonso?
This is for my draft and all big names are picked up. Pinnock or Christensen or White are available I think.

Cucurella
I already have Duffy on bench
Would probably pick Pinnock of those 3. Nailed. Good fixtures. Fairly attacking.
This might be of use....

Hwang Dias Guiata and Veltman(Upgrade to Reguilion or someone with extra .7 cash?) worth a bench boost?
Is that a free transfer? Yeah it's tricky because with Lamptey fit it looks like Veltman and Duffy might be battling over that 3rd centre back spot now. You'd be annoyed if you BB and he doesn't play but it's a great fixture as well if he does.
