got very luck with 11 points for Sboz and 3 from Wirtz.
Feel for managers who bought Salah this week or captained Ekitike.

In the latest edition of the United Hour Podcast, we interview Duncan Drasdo of MUST - covering ticket prices, new stadium, INEOS and what fans should be demanding from our club.
Also, due to technical issues we couldn't put a notice up for the previous episode which was about the game against Bournemouth and other stuff. If you'd like to listen to it, click here.
So glad I captained Bruno after the Ekitike rumours.
Glad Cunha returned as well.
Seemed like a low scoring week.

Got Kayode and Thiago in my team. Get in.
Putting Kelleher in for Raya isn't paying off.
Is anyone else's Bruno captain points not doubling? Still have 10. Assume it fixes itself after tonight?
Mine is like that on the app but on desktop it's normal. Either way, your total GW score is correct if you add it all up.
62 all out. Best week in ages relative to other people, +9 green arrow. Accidentally capping Dango over Bruno only costing 2 points in the end.
Now for all the fun of the blank week and trying to work out some sort of plan for the future. So many permutations isn't there?

I'm genuinely thinking about two options:62 all out. Best week in ages relative to other people, +9 green arrow. Accidentally capping Dango over Bruno only costing 2 points in the end.
Now for all the fun of the blank week and trying to work out some sort of plan for the future. So many permutations isn't there?
Either remove one of Munoz/Rice and field 11 players... Or kick that donkey VVD out and start with 10 men. Seeing that dumb feck in my starting 11 is starting to make me see red mist.
Dubs
Tarkowski Hill Chalobah
Mbeumo Bruno Tavernier Wilson
Thiago Pedro Ekitike
Have the full XI. But some absolute frauds in Chalobah, Mbeumo, Tavernier, Ekitike
Have 1FT. With probable WC in GW32, need to use it

He must really have pissed you off if you'd rather start with 10!
Don't think I'm playing FH but it's an option, right now can field 10 which does include the dumb feck and unfortunately Dubravka. 4 FTs, and any transfers have to consider future blanks/doubles, when I'm going to free hit if I'm not playing it now and how I might try and make bench boost work.
Goalie is going to be a headache in itself. Play Dubs, sell him for Darlow, sell Raya and bring him back, or sell Raya and go without him for the rest of the season. FH 'keeper would probably be Leno or whoever is in net for Newcastle right now.

Put Casemiro in 2 weeks ago and I’m feeling fecking smug about it.
2 FTs, no WC, no FH. Semenyo, Hincapie, Haaland and O'Reily out. No worries, can still field a decent XI with the FTs then boom. Reece James is out for a couple weeks. Do I take the -4 or swap James out?
For what it's worth, I'm 60 pts off the number one spot in my mini league. I still have my TC and BB.

60 all out, green arrow so I’ll take that!
GW31 team
I can field 10, if I transfer out O’Reilly I can field 11 players
Bus team
Martinez
Virgil Hill Dalot O’Reilly (blank)
Dewsbury-Hall Bruno F Palmer Wilson
Thiago Ekitiké
Bench
Dubravka Haaland Semenyo Gabriel
2 FTs
Transfer out O’Reilly for Andersen (Fulham) or Thiaw (Newcastle) for long term?
I don’t have money in the bank so I can only use O’Reilly’s fee of £5 mill
Trying to think of the the potential DGWs in 33 and 36. I can FH in BGW 34
Any tips is greatly appreciated!

Yeah similar thoughts to you
My bus team is
Pickford
Hill Chalobah Mukiele
Bruno Enzo Tavernier Rogers Garner
Thiago Ekitike
Dubravka Haaland Guehi Gabriel
Looks like I need to replace Mukiele unless he recovers miraculously. Andersen has the best fixture but pretty meh after that. I'm looking at Thiaw or Hall from Newcastle but will decide later in the week.
I think Newcastle are one of the teams likely to double in 33 as well (against Bournemouth and Arsenal) so that's another tick in the box for them.
Is it just me or is the list of appealing players for BGW31 really, really shite?
I'm looking at Thiaw to replace Guehi but even then not convinced to get rid of City defense long-term just to be able to field another player this GW. Also need to replace Rice but don't really know who, Gordon seems nice but meh.
Sanchez
Van Dijk Hill Mukiele
Bruno Wilson
Ekitiké Thiago Pedro
Bench is Gabriel, Semenyo and Sarr and think I want to keep those three. So it's Rice and Guehi out, then hope Mukiele is able to play in order to field 11. Don't have my WC anymore though so need to be mindful of DGW33 if possible.

Am I crazy for considering Gordon?
I can easily do Munoz/VVD to Thiaw but Rice to Gordon feels like a move The Big Lebowski would do...
Don't even mention that Lady Diana lookalike to me. Hate the cnut.
I was planning on free hitting this week, but I am hearing GW34 is a better option. I can use my 2 free transfers and take a 4 point hit and get 11 players for this GW and keep my free hit til GW34 . What's the better option?
I'm top of my private league and only one person has got a realistic chance of catching me.
Is using my wildcard to replicate most of his squad (he's used both his wildcard and free hit) a rat move or ruthless?

So difficult looking at that spreadsheet, while there's loads of potential doubles there's not many teams with doubles that look like they'd be 2 great fixtures. Only the potential City v Brentford and Palace looking particularly tasty.
At least it's highly likely City will be out of Europe when it comes to fear of rotation for them if that double happens, get to find out that element of it tonight. With 2 likely doubles for them as well, looking like 3 City players might be the way to go the last few weeks with FH on 34. Got to bench them through this week's blank first/bring them in after it.
Other than that loads of teams with big downsides. Arsenal's likely double involving City away, Newcastle's potential double involving Arsenal etc. Chelsea's involving us, better that it's at home from Chelsea's perspective but their fixture list is difficult overall. Not a ton of obvious teams you want to take the decision to load up on at this stage.

Ruthless and against the spirit of the game… expected from a Chelsea fanI'm top of my private league and only one person has got a realistic chance of catching me.

Sesko isn't going to be a starter in consecutive games the rest of this season by the looks of things
Finally dumping Haaland, should have done it weeks ago
Obvious option is Ekitike but everyone in my league has him
Got Pedro & Thiago - what are the differential options?

I wouldn’t go for Ekitike now that they’re in the Champions League quarters - he is a minutes risk.
I’d go for Bowen - pretty nice fixtures plenty to play for and guaranteed 90 minutes
Do we have a better view yet on GW33+34?
I thought BB33 FH34 was the template but apparently the DGW33 sucks? Not sure when we will have that info though so maybe we can't plan far enough ahead before Friday yet.

I have 6 city/arsenal players. I have to FH, right?
Ye he's probably the best bet of slim pickings on strikers
Also considering Sesko & Jiminez
Current team:
Sanchez
Hill Van Dijk Kayode Mukiele
Gordon Bruno Wilson (C)
Ekitiké Pedro Thiago
Just gotta hope Mukiele is fit enough to start, but even if not I feel there's not a defender out there worth taking a hit for.

I mean yeah really. Can't say you haven't had time to plan for this week either.
Oh ffs just seen Chalobah was stretchered off the other night so I'm down to 9 as well now.
Wait a min. Tarkowski is flagged
Really big gap until next GW so unless the injury is serious most players should be OK.
Hi, welcome back from the future.
Did we win against Bournemouth tomorrow?
Yes, bet everything you have on it.
Have 11 players without doing any transfers with 1FT available. Tempted to transfer out Konate or Alderete for a Fulham defender this week. Alderete to Bassey looks a good option in the short term as either ways might be WC in 32 once double are comfirmed
Hopefully. Or keep that as it is and solidify by midfield as I have an ill form Rogers along with Scott, Bruno F and Wilson. Tempted to remove scott but with 5.5m only, the options are not that good

Chalobah I jury means I have to take an 8 point hit to get 11 players.
Free hit time. No need to go around and save it.
Martinez
Virgil, Thiaw, Keane (Andersen, Dalot)
Palmer, Salah, Bruno (C), Rogers (Wilson)
Richarlison, Šeško, Watkins
And things getting more serious i see. I had 53 points last week, Bruno captain and still finished with red arrow.
