Sorry but the rage transfer is the only catharsis I can get from this shit show of a weekend.
Well, look at the bright side. You're week is not as bad as @Samid, I hope. :lol:

Cash booked
Maddison booked
Bruno booked
Sterling booked
Chilwell benched, team keeps CS
Chilwell booked
Sterling free kick of a lifetime a millimeter from crossing the line
Udogie can't keep a cleanie against cannon fodder
Rash assist chalked off by a millimeter
Watkins not on pens

Watch Pickford (bench) save a Saka penalty

Can't make it up with Chilwell can you. Loads of stories about him in his new left wing position and how he's been unlucky to score...
Then the inevitable benching, and 1 point cameo ruined by a booking!

You'd be fuming if you were a Martinelli owner though! Ouch, no goal, limps off, out for ages etc.

What a crap game week though. Jackson an utter bust up front. Probably Alvarez time now.

Jackson horrendous. Ramsdale dropped. Chillwell benched. Bruno playing terrible. Joao Pedro rotated. Estupinan rotated. Botman on the bench with 9 points. Shit show of a week and this is almost forcing the wildcard, think it’s going to have to be played in a week or so.

I’ve completely lost it and transferred Ramsdale out for Luton’s keeper and Jackson out for Hojlund. Luton keeper in ahead of the doubt gameweek and they have wolves next weekend at home. It’s probably a disaster but feck it. Then get Morris in for the double after next weekend and then play the wildcard after that double gw. Yes, I imagine none of this will work out well :lol:

Why do 30% of FPL players have Chilwell? It's baffling. It's not like he's especially cheap or has a good FPL record.

For those 2 or 3 times a season he hits 15 points and you realise he has an incredible ceiling.
Obviously always the weeks you've not got him.
Same with James, just marginally less injury prone.

Hmm... do I get Morris or Alvarez after transferring out Jackshit?

Has to be one or the other.

A seemingly nailed on choice in the Man City machine, or a striker at a relegation cert in a team who score zero?
Doesn't strike a brother as needing of much beard stroking.

This game week has forced the wildcard - might have been rage-induced but feel like it could be the right decision regardless.

So much dross in my team. I’m going to bring Salah back in, and Alvarez is looking like a must-have. Fixtures are quite irritating in places as United’s get a lot better but Rashford needs to go, as obviously does Onana.

Jackshit? You're shit.

I threw my whole gameplan out of the window to bring in DS' god Jackson into my team
:lol: 4 yellow cards in 5 games serving you well I hope. I can tolerate having quiet games but I can't tolerate so many yellow cards. Same reason I threw out Onana as well. Well that and the fact we concede 2-3 goals every game.

Directly under the sun... NOW!

He's out now!

I wildcarded two GWs ago and got rid of Salah, bought Jackshit and Sterling, and tonight I took a 4 point hit to sell Jackshit and Sterling for Salah :houllier:

Would have broken 50 points this GW if that Martinelli goal stood. Seemed like an pipe dream at the start of the Saturday fixtures.

Basically tied with the first in my league but it's wildcard time now and Salah will have to come in (yuck).

Before today, only one team had a CS this weekend.

My defence bailed me out unexpectedly, as I had players from 3 out of 4 teams that ended up with a CS (Fulham, Arsenal and Chelsea).

Relying on defence though is not a winner this year. It's all about the right picks in midfield.

This was my worst GW rank ever 9,335,00

Dropped me to an OR of 2,000,000
I'm still not using my wildcard. although I'll likely take a hit or two to dump a couple players

I will remain calm and sell Maddison and N. Jackoff
Thinking Newcastle will go on a decent run but with all the midweek games, I could find myself in a bunch of trouble with limited minutes. I really want to sell Fernandes but the fixtures are too good. Once I get rid of Bruno, I'm done with United players for the rest of this season.

One of those seasons so far.
I'm 29th in my league out of 110 but only 20 points off top.
With Haaland ruining the captaincy decision and Salah still scoring but taking a big hit to the rest of your team its a tricky season.

Do we stick with Rashy and Bruno and hope they start smashing the hauls?
Jackson needs to go asap though. Alvarez looks a strong option.

I can't believe I already used my WC and ended up with 3 Chelsea chumps :mad:

Chelsea finally get a CS and Chilwell don't play
Then Chilwell comes on
Chilwell gets booked
Sterling gets booked
Jackson gets booked

Ffs :lol:

Gonna bin the lot of these dickheads so that's 3 transfers booked.

Gonna start by getting rid of Nicholas Jackshit, probably for Alvarez or Morris.

So frustrated.
Welcome to my world so far this season :lol:

Turner - Still to play (maybe)

Chillwell - 0 points (benched to come on for a 10 min cameo and a YC)
Estupinan - 0 points (rested after travels)
Gvardiol - 1 point (no CS and yellow)

Foden - 2 points (a good old blank - got 66 minutes)
Bruno - 1 point (blank, YC and didn't play his best position)
Sterling - 2 points (YC, unlucky not to get a return)
Saka - 6 points (a bit lucky assist)

Jackson - 1 point (YC, hit the post)
Haaland (C) - 6 points (scores 3 or more on a normal day with the chances he had)
Watkins - 5 points (Typicle Watkins lately - anonymous)

Bench: Johnstone - 1 points (3 late goals conceded, will he keep his spot?), Al-Dakhil - still to play (will he haul or not play to save the day? Not bloody likely), Botman - 9 points (BB, CS etc. will not not come off the bench.....)

Pffff!
I'm on 255 points total right now and outside top 5M in the world. Was top 1k last season, so this tests morals and motivation in ways I didn't know existed....
Plan is still to WC in the next international break, but patience is wearing thin now...

Any idea why Poch didn't start Chilwell yesterday? Udogie is on my bench for Arsenal away next GW, but if Poch is planning on bringing Chilwell on for a few minutes again vs Villa then I may as well bench him instead.

Reguilon looking like an interesting buy as he'll probably be nailed now for a while... If only United could keep a clean sheet.

I dont know why you would triple up on one of the worst teams in the league. The only player worth the price in that Chelsea team is Colwill. A 4.5 m bench option.
