I'm starting to have doubts about Martial now with it seeming like Ronaldo is staying. Tough to get someone in I expect to score as many for the first couple of weeks though for the same price. Might have to go cheaper up top and add in a premium defender

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I keep tinkering and can't settle on a line up.
currently
Ramsdale
TAA
Cancelo
James
Trippier
Salah
Mount
Grealish
Bailey
Kane
Jesus
Ward, Williams, Andreas, Greenwood
keep considering downgrading James to say a Cash, Zinchenko etc and having that extra million to convert Bailey to Martinelli of Bruno G... also though about upgrading Greenwood to a 5.5 forward but there is little value there as far as I can see.

3/10
Having 1.5m in the bank is a bad idea. Nothing wrong with having 0.5m in case of price changes but beyond that is uncessary. Missing defenders that are far better value than ASM. No need to have a 5m and 4.5m GK either.
James - agree there are some question marks but Chelsea are still a good defence and of he doesn't look like good value, ready swap to like Dias. But with his ownership and explosive potential, he's worth the risk.
Perisic - will have minutes managed but he's so attacking that he can still cause damage and getting hooked early could actually be beneficial for those CS points.
Martinelli - I already accept he won't be a 90 minutes man, hence why he is 6.0 and not 7.5+ so that's a risk I'm happy to take.
Bailey - literally there for the first few games and then straight to the bench.
Not sure about greenwood but Archer has had some minutes in pre season and has looked good so may get a free minutes here and there with 5 subs.
How is Grealish from a fantasy perspective? 7m seems a bit underpriced, no? Same with Foden at 8.
If you can handle the roulette then they could be good options. Foden more nailed but more expensive.
Its been 3 days now since I made any changes to this team so think I'm now locked for the beginning of the season unless new info comes to light
Nice team. A few punts and many template. The way I think is the best strategy.
Very similar to mine except I have Walker Saka Haaland instead of Trips Sancho Kane.
Can someone share the invite link to the Caf league?
Going with both Doherty and Perisic could be fun.
any thoughts on this for first couple of gameweeks, after numerous changes I think I'm locked in now, can possibly swap Digne for Walker or Zinchenko
Ramsdale
Dalot - TAA- Cancello - James - Digne
Salah - Saka - Rashford
Kane - Jesus
Bailey - Greenwood - Palmer - Ward
I should probably swap Palmer for Andreas,

I'm currently on:
Pretty happy with it but may swap James out for one of the Spurs full backs given Chelsea have looked shite in preseason. There's also the temptation to lose Robertson for Diaz and redistribute the funds, but I like the idea of having his relatively low EO.

11/15 of my squad seems complete, apart from the fact i still cannot choose between Haaland and Kane.
Out of the 4 remaining slots, which one do you think is the best ?
Ramsdale, James, Rashford, Martinelli
Ederson, Dalot, Sancho, Martinelli
Sanchez, Dalot, Rashford, Saka

I seem to be one of very few that are opting for Antonio and Henderson? I know West Ham's first game is against City but after that, they have a decent run of games until GW6 where they face Chelsea.
Current squad
3-4-3
Henderson
(Ward)
TAA
Cancelo
Dalot
(N.Williams & Tanganga)
Martinelli
Mahrez
Salah
Neto

Jesus
Kane
Antonio

Alright then the season of the 4.0 keeper is finally here!
Am I the only one going into this season without Kane or Haaland?
I know it’s probably stupid, a gamble at best, but I can’t help myself wanting something different.
I have Son to cover for Kane and I genuinly believe and hope that Haaland will strugle with both niggles and gelling with the team.
Current draft. Also have one with Martial, Darwin and Jesus but without Son.
Sanchez
Trippier Arnold Cancelo Perisic
Odegaard Son Salah Bailey
Darwin Jesus
Subs: Gazzaniga, Vestergaard, Andreas, Greenwood.

I am tempted to go Ramsdale to Iversen and go James to Robbo, but the thought of being trolled by Rodgers and him going Kasper is too much so I don’t think I will.
Leicesters back up goalie. Hes 4m no? Am I missing something or is that a steal assuming hes the trusted number 1.
James seems to be the preferred Chelsea defender? No love for Chilwell?
Son is proving to be a big headache for me at the moment. It's either him + 2 * 4.0m defenders, or someone like Martinelli + Cancelo + Robertson. Surely the latter is the better play, esp. if one already has Kane? Just dread not starting the season with Son after he nearly burned my chances last time....
Just pick both and leave it. Kasper is gone to Nice I think.
Two 4.0 keepers is a fun curve ball. Especially when you could also make an argument for other keepers all the way up to 5.5m.

Maybe, I see Romaro has said he will sign today. But then it’s Leicester and they were awful last season
Which one?
Martinelli + Cancelo
vs
8.0 Mid or Sancho + Dias
Martinelli + Cancelo
vs
8.0 Mid or Sancho + Dias
I don’t have Kane and Haaland
Iversen is in? innnnteresting... and BR said he will not replace Schmikes (though he often says one thing and does another)
Rumours of Dubravka is there not?
Martinelli + Mount (or other non Diaz 8m as i have Robbo)
or
Rodrigo + Saka
Defense and attack is very template, so my only issue is the 8m midfielder.

I mean not Rodrigo obviously.
It's something to take into account though. Those of us who had Benhrama and Antonio from GW1 last season made a tidy profit a few weeks down the line giving us an advantage over other teams.
Best squad is important but value is also important too. Need a good balance between the two.
I'm going Ward/Iversen which gives me an extra 0.5. Now to figure out where it goes 
I like the flexibility of having a little bit extra left over so I'm not resigned to like for like replacements.
ASM is a bit of a wildcard pick but he's had a great preseason. Probably will change him.
And with regards to GK. Maybe I am a bit over invested. Are there any 4 million GK likely to start? I like to have 2 GKs who play so I can rotate them. So if Chelsea were to play City I could easily rotate to Sanchez who may be playing Bournemouth etc..
Who is your 5th midfielder? Only got 4 listed there.
I think if you decide to go for Kane then I'd replace Diaz with a city midfielder due to their favourable opening fixtures.
Don't agree with the GK situation. It's always better to have a solid backup option in GK and you can switch between games.
Ramsdale TAA James Cancelo Salah Diaz Kane Jesus
or
Downgrade Diaz,Ramsdale (to MF <8m/4.5m keeper) to get Robertson insead of James

Might not be a bad idea actually with gk points often being a lottery.I'm going Ward/Iversen which gives me an extra 0.5. Now to figure out where it goes
I know Leicester are in dire straights but is that combo going to be any worse than an £8.5m one?
I've got Pope and Ward at the moment but that £1m could easily be reinvested. Could even put some aside for the inevitable Bailey transfer if I keep him.
Edit: Or could keep the £0.5m aside in case Leicester sign a new keeper and jump on the best £4.5m
