I think that’s going to be the most common route. I was planning on losing Bruno and Ronaldo, but this Jota injury is a spanner in the works.
The easy solution is to keep Bruno, but it means I’ll have to get Lacazette in rather than Saka.

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?

I'm on TC but bench boost could still outscore TC if the bench options are like DDG, Cancelo, Bowen, and Broja. Once you use Bench Boost, means you can finally downgrade the bench and upgrade the XI.
How are you calculating that 60 point swing?
I am going to FH this week (week 26), but I am still very tempted to play 9 DGW players and 2 Single ones, which are Bowen and Cancelo which both have a very good fixture and I reckon they could outscore some double game week players.. What do you think, is this crazy? I am just scared not playing Cancelo and Bowen, which both are in a good form and performing very well..
Considering everyone will captain him, 60 point swing would mean he actually scores 60 points between the two games, which would give 120 points to the ones who captained him and 180 to the ones who TC, is that correct? The odds of this happening are not very high.. haha (sorry if I understood this wrong)
I still don't want to Free Hit in 27 if I can help it. 30 is a bigger blank and there will be at least one more massive double. I'm lucky in that I have 2 FT's and several routes to Salah. I just need to decide whether to keep Foden and a ton of cash or Bruno and nothing.
Will almost certainly take one hit so I can have 2 x Arsenal and 2 x Liverpool which I think is the sweet spot and means I won't have to FH in 27. I'd have 10 players and I can bring in a Burnley player or 2 for their doubles in 27 to mitigate the 10.

If you can get 9 dgw players out and those 2 then yeah that does sound crazy to Free Hit.
I can do this:
GW26: Jota to Saka (-4)
GW27: Saka to Cornet (and have 11 starters).
GW28: Cornet back to Saka
Or I can do simply Jota to Foden (-4)
Finally, I can just leave it and hope Cucurella returns.
Thoughts?

Did a FH and filled my team with DGW players, stuck with a conundrum of Kane or Dennis?
I have no chance but Free Hitting this week. I have only 3 players with DGW and I don't want to take a -12 / -16 hit for some changes.
I still have the 2 Free Hits available and the Wildcard, so not worried of using the FH now. My only question is if it's worth Free Hitting and putting 9 DGW players + Cancelo and Bowen, or just go for 11 DGW players.. Decisions decisions!
Jota's game time was probably going to be split with firmino pre-injury concerns. I'm now thinking he probably plays part of the second game at best. Probably need to get him out and spanner in the works indeed.
Anybody going with Dias for Liverpool? Looks lively could see him score this weekend.
Is Reece James back soon?
Thinking he should be picked up in draft before the others go for him.

Doubt he will be highly owned, most will have TAA, Salah and Jota or robertson
So the moves I am thinking is. De Gea to Ramsdale.
Reguilon to Robertson and Jota to Cornet.
If Jota is fit I might just get Coady or another Wolves defender instead. Possibly Mee or Tarkowski too.

-4 for Bruno Foden and Watkins to Salah Saka and Lacazette?
I brought in Saiss, Ramsdale and Tarkowski
Going to gamble on Dias, might backfire but worth a shot..
Burnley are bad though so not sure loading up on them make sense just for a double.I brought in Saiss, Ramsdale and Tarkowski

Oh I see what you mean. I mean yeah there will undoutably be sgw players that outscore dgw ones but it's like gambling isn't it. You get 2 shots as opposed to 1.
If I was free hitting I'd triple up on Liverpool and Arsenal for sure. Not sure I'd be able to resist Kane and Son either. Probably something like....
Ramsdale
Gabriel Saiss VVD TAA ????
Salah Saka Zaha Son ????
Kane ???? ????
Maybe Broja as a sgw punt.
With Jota looking likely to miss at least one of the DGW fixtures would it be crazy to double up on Salah & Mane? Latter not in great form but coming off winning Afcon plus they play the two worst defences in the league.
I just worry Mane will not start both.
I'm thinking the exact same thing. Just not with Jota.
A free hit in 27 is tempting too - bring in Pope for it. But being without chips (if FH 30 is a thing as well) is a scary prospect. Then resume in 28 with Saka and no Burnley
This is for draft
Take a punt on Diaz or take Saka?
Take a punt on Diaz or take Saka?
Definitely a concern. Just looking for a differential to catch up in ML, don’t fancy the arsenal attacking options to score big over their double and Burnley are hot garbage.
Glad you’re relaxed to the point of smugness… but why on Earth are you spunking a valuable FH on this GW?
60 point swing? How?
Why have you played a FH this week?
People are going a bit crazy on the doubles I feel. Some of these hits seem a bit silly for the likes of Jimenez (5 goals all season) and Lacazette (3!).
Cause there is a lot of DGW’s and I only had 4 so squashed 12 into my squad in hope of not losing ground.
Jimenez scored last match.
I was planning on just using my 1 free transfer (Bruno > Son).
That would leave me with all DGW players apart from Cancelo and Bowen (who I think are good to go with anyway).
However, Jota doubts do worry me a bit now. Especially as I also have Regulon and Weghorst as potential doubts. Wondering whether to take a hit to get in Robbo, but it would then be a -8 and I was thinking people were being a bit OTT with the hits this week.

Sure you wanna sell Bruno now…?
What’s your team for 27?
Yes. Only way to get Son in and he has a DGW.
I have got Bruno's 3 hauls this season, even though I mostly haven't owned him. I think now is the time to get off him. Next two fixtures are decent, but because it's only a single this week, it's kind of only GW27 where I would want him.
DeGea
Digne Varane Cancelo Dias
Salah Raphinha DeBruyne Coutinho
Antonio Daka

Nothing keeper.

Kane Jimenez

Fair play, seems a very odd time to sell him for me.
Kinda feel I’d possibly prefer Saka to Son this DGW.
I feel like you need TAA at minimum. I'd also fancy Saka over James.
Bad fixture turn coming up, and he's expensive. As I say, only GW27 I think he is a clear desirable option until I will wildcard in GW30-32. He may do well this week but feel I have to go for a DGW player.
The reason I'm not going for Saka is that I have 3 Liverpool players and 2 Arsenal players already, and I would rather not Free Hit next week.
I don’t know I seem to have a mental block over TAA I never usually put him in. Saka could be good but James is now striker and playing not so bad tbh..
I am bringing in Lacazette in my draft for Broja. Good luck everyone. Next red card guaranteed
Weghorst ok by the sound of it
