Courtesy of 44 attacking returns though.

And ended that season on 10.6.

When are people thinking of using the triple captain chip? There are really good fixtures this weekend. I'll be free hitting in GW 37 or 38 so I think this may be the best opportunity for TC.

Think most people would probably have used it by now
I wasted mine on Auba in the double game week that turned out not to be a double so if you can beat 6 points you've done better than me

There's a captaincy thread opened since you posted:

You might get some good info there

For any Liverpool fans, is TAA a rotation risk going forward?

Need to find the cash for another transfer and downgrading him would be a way to do it.

I reckon he will be benched for one of the next 3 games and thats it.

I think Williams will play two games before the end of the year, but TAA might play in midfield

United have a nice gap between their next two plum fixtures
Gw33 sat 4th H Bournemouth
Gw 34 Thursday 9th Villa Away

But then things get crazy with 5 games in 13 days
Gw 35 Monday 13th Southampton Home
GW36 Thursday 16th Palace Away
Fa cup semi final Sunday 19th
Gw37 weds 22 West Ham Home
Gw 38 Sun 26th Leictser Away

Best Hope the other top 4 contenders keep winning

Any ideas whether Foden and Greenwood will start? Have both of them in my starting 11 at the moment with Jota 1st sub. I've been wanting to get rid of Jota but not had the chance. Guarantee he will get points tomorrow!

Greenwood much more likely I think, based on the fact that he is actually in United's first choice lineup. As effective as he as been in substitute appearances, I think it is difficult to make the case that Pep would actually see Foden as part of his best 11. No way is he better than Sterling, Mahrez, Bernardo IMO.

Greenwood has had 2 starts and 1 sub appearance since the restart. Foden has had 2 starts and no sub since the restart. So not that much difference.
You could make the argument that City are going to keep their best players fresh for cup competitions since they are finishing 2nd in the league.
Still not sure what to do! If I leave Jota on the bench tomorrow he will rub egg on my chin!

Neto is starting over jota very very soon ......

Gus Ivey

I hope you're right.
Thought I was shrewd getting Jota in at the restart with Wolves' favourable fixtures. That back fired! He'll be getting turfed out next week, needed to get rid of Grealish first

Green&Red

Interesting take on the FH

Last day and hope for early team news seems smarter at this point but it's tough to decide

shineon23

Im still thinking last day and copy my rival's team with my FH if I'm ahead of them.

OR rank for vanity, Mini leagues wins for sanity in my book :P

Are you assuming that your rivals have used their free hit or have you checked ?

Is TC on KDB a good idea this week or what do people think?

Man I'm so close to doing it.

Since the return after COVID I've had a mare (but admittedly interest wained big time).

Put it like this.. It's not a BAD idea at any stretch.

Yes or gw 36
Thing about this week is you are nearly certain he will start

Chuck Noland

I also think Pep will be hurting after they lost and be out to murder Newcastle tonight

Chuck Noland

Next conundrum now is too start Vardy or Saka

Martinez
Saiss Boly Robinson (Shu)
Kdb (TC) Foden Bruno Mane
Jimi Rashford

Pope Justin Fernandez

Any opinions lads?

Vardy easily and then I’d start Pope too
I think his fixtures are more appealing now as they are not all against teams who will sit back against them
O Connell will start ahead of Robinson btw

Shedite27

Who do ya bench from this front 5

KDB (NEW)
Foden (NEW)
Mane (bha)
Sarr (NOR)
Fernandes (vil)
Rashford (vil)
Greenwood (vil)
Jimenez (shu)

Sarr gets benched on form, but I'd nearly start my grandmother at home to Norwich these days. Greenwood is currently benched based on (1) triple United, (2) due a rest, (3) bought as bench fodder.

I thought Robinson was first choice so thanks for that.
Pope and Marthinez was bit of a toss up.
I think Sakas 10 from the bench was haunting me. Vardy playing against David Luiz should be nailed on everytime really

As a united fan I don’t see Greenwood been benched. He’s started 3 of the 4 league match’s since returning and only completed 90 mins once. He’s been excellent since he’s came into the team and be it by coaching ability or sheer luck Ole has united playing well at the moment and hunting down the champions league spots. He can’t start trying too get cute with a handful of games left. Get a few goals and use the 5 subs to get lads off then

Yeah I think it's got to be Sarr.

Greenwood has 2 double digit hauls in a row now and was subbed off 20 minutes or so early, with United also having a 4 day break (long break in current circumstances). I'd be very surprised if he's left out of the starting XI. The United coverage argument makes sense but it's really hard to make an argument on leaving the others out whereas Sarr you can easily make that argument.

Like any decision at this stage of the season, it kind of depends on where you are in your league and what you want to achieve (i.e. for all the pointless talk of "differentials" during the season, we're finally at a stage where this comes into it). If you need to take a risk then I'd consider maybe dropping Jimi for Sarr, but the smart choice is to leave Sarr out.

Cathcart (H to Norwich)
Calvert-Lewin (H to Soton)

Leaning towards Cathcart at the moment - Clean sheets are ridic common right now.
Everton absolute pants and I could maybe see a change up for them up front for this match.

Cathcart has been in and out of the team recently. As a fellow owner I’m not entirely sure if he’ll start.
