Interesting, they're more inclined to bench Martinelli I gather?
I suppose the other thing is Odegaard might be rested after his international break exertions while Martinelli's just had a holiday. Blergh, too many thoughts.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I suppose the other thing is Odegaard might be rested after his international break exertions while Martinelli's just had a holiday. Blergh, too many thoughts.
Odegaard is the captain so will get minutes. Martinelli will eventually share with Smith-Rowe.
Hmm, I've looked into Smith-Rowe's injury situation, it sounds like they're concerned. I think I'm going to stick with Martinelli, but thanks for the debrief
Current wildcard draft.
Subs: Sanchez, Andreas, Saliba, Dalot
Obvious focus on fixtures before the World Cup. I did this draft at the start of the international break and not thought or looked at it since so open to plenty of changes.
Martinez
Trippier, Cancelo, James
Maddison, Zaha, KdB, Gordon
Toney, Haaland, Mitrovic

Gordon = 4 bad fixtures coming up. (Soton good at home). Not many great choices in defence but Saliba has semi-bad fixtures too
somehow you want to have width though as city+arse blanks in gw12. Id prepare for that with placeholders for Trent+Diaz as thats when Liverpools fixtures start to swing too. By then you might want to own city and liverpool players. So maybe have Maddison+Save some cash to go to Luis Diaz by then.
People on WC, are Salah and TAA retained or shifted? I haven't taken them out. But having second thoughts. Also retained Cancelo and James.
Should I use Salah money to get Kane? Or move to KDB? Or not do anything

Spurs have some tough fixtures coming up but I'm keeping Kane. Think he's on for a 200+ season, plus even if he's shit he'll take a penalty or something.People on WC, are Salah and TAA retained or shifted? I haven't taken them out. But having second thoughts. Also retained Cancelo and James.

Probably not the best time to buy KdB as City have a blank coming up in Week 12 and they're playing Liverpool and United in their next few matches.
But I dont have Kane and going to threemium of Salah, Kane and Haaland is pretty much shaking up rest of the team.
You have to either back Kane to carry on doing what he's doing or Salah to find form.
Struggling to decide on Salah. Found a way to work in Kane, Salah and Haaland, but I’m not convinced by it. Means starting two of Dalot, Fofana, Gros or Andreas each week.
Could just keep Diaz instead, but despite it feeling like he’s doing well, the points total isn’t very impressive. I’m sure if I was doing this before the international break, Salah would be gone for sure. Just feels wrong now.

Salah has been so anonymous and out of sorts I'm not trusting him until I see him actually play well. He's been like the goal + assists version of Pipo Inzaghi. Barely making an impact on the game until he suddenly pops up a goal contribution and FPL points.
I think you are in a strong position if you still have your wildcard (provided happy with team as is), you have a few game weeks to get rid of city and arse players then bring them all back in for 13 including Liverpool players as their fixtures turn too.
Even if you have 5 City/Arse players you can bench 2 and transfer 3 out before 12 then wildcard them back in gw 13.
Anyone got the armband on Håaland against us?
Pope
Trippier TAA James
Salah Gordon Maddison Martinelli
Toney Haaland Mitrovic
Fofana Dalot Perreira
Any thoughts on this? 0.2m itb.

Yet he is only 7 points away from the top MF player in KDB who had been bang in form... Which only shows that once Liverpool click, and they will, there will be a rush to get him back in.
In GW8 I put (C) on Isak, and I got 87 points. I also had Son and Saliba on my team. In GW9 I bought Maddison for Bernardo Silva and use my free transfer. Then, Isak got injured and I bought Solanke for Isak and I am -4 at the moment.
I am thinking put Maddison (C) in GW9, I have good felling about that. Also thought that Solanke could score against Brentford.
Can someone give me a code for the league?
Great community. Good luck to everyone in GW9.

Most of us have KDB so it's an easy switch to him but I don't mind waiting for them to actually show good form before jumping. Having a 13m guy in the team blanking isn't great and missing out on that isn't the worst thing especially as he's not gonna be captained anymore.
Obviously.
I'm gonna go for Salah. I know Haaland would love to score against us as well but Martinez has done well against him before hasn't he.
He'll probably score a hat trick now and this will be a re-run of Havertzgate from last season.
Raya
James Cancelo TAA Trippier
Bailey Salah (c) Martinelli
Jesus Haaland (vc) Toney
Subs: Gordon, Andreas, Saliba

Gotta play the percentage move.
It's boring though. Not gonna move anywhere if I just perma captain the same player like everyone else.
Decided to play it safe 5 defenders two midfielders and 3 premium strikers..
Yeah I know. I'm gonna Captain Salah if I have him
Which players do you have?
Henderson
Robertson? Van Dijk Neco Walker Fofana
Bernardo Diaz
Kane Haaland Jesus

Thought on Solanke? He is rated after his good championship season. I think he is nailed and good fixtures. Problem is Bournemouth is the team I expect to score the least amount of goals. Pukki though did well last year for cheap cost in the worst team in the league. Dennis, Toney and Pukki all top 10 forwards last year for points and Mitro doing well. Championship forwards seems to be the way, but I do not trust these sides to win games.
Think I'm gonna wildcard.
As long as you're ok with him getting a few goals here and there and accept that he is an enabler... That's fine.
I'm avoiding as I think there's value in Toney and Mitro.
Keep or drop Cancelo?
If I drop Cancelo to pick up a cheaper defender (Have TAA James Trippier), I can fund the Haaland, Toney, Mitrovic combination instead of Haaland, Toney/Mitrovic, Taylor

I would sell after Southampton if you wanna get rid of him.

Rumors about Tsimikas starting.
Main thought is whether it's pronounced "So lanky", or "So lank".
Both conjure images that put me off him.
My WC is looking like
Pope / Iversen
Cancelo / James / Trippier / Saliba / N. Williams
KDB / Maddison / Zaha / Martinelli / Andreas
Haaland / Toney / Mitrovic
Plan for GW12 - swap KDB and Cancelo for Salah and Robertson/Van Dijk
I have more value in Saliba/Martinelli/Haaland so figure it's best to keep them in the squad and have them on the bench for their blanks.

Actually, the real choice should be:
Pope and Toney

I would prefer Guieta over Henderson, after Chelsea Palace have a nice run till the World Cup.
This is NOT helpful!
Anyway, if I sell Pope and get Guieta as my 2nd keeper, then I can buy Jesus.
So, I refer you to my previous question

This has been a great advert for people who love to WC over international break to gain all the price rises. 
Isak is probably not fit, and i’ll have to take two hits to get Maddison currently. Got zero in the bank so can only downgrade.
Am I mad if I try and go Daka? (5.7)

My WC was played in the last GW. I have Bowen, Maetinelli, Zaha, Maddison and Ansreas in midfield.
I think that's too punt-y and may just swap out Bowen for Rashford now. Thoughts on that move?
Bowen is liked by a lot of FPL players but I feel he and West Ham and nearly doing enough.
Also, is it nuts to captain Kane vs Arsenal? He has a good record v them but its the 12:30 kick off.
