Ye all so blinded by double and treble gameweek it's funny. Ferandes has poor returns last few gameweeks and has played way too many games this year already.
Think outside the box

I'm kind of leaning in this direction of thinking. The allure of the United triple gameweek is so tempting, but I doubt many/any of them will play more than two games and I'm not confident they will keep any clean sheets. Maybe one. And then they blank the week after.

Bruno's form has improved in the last couple of weeks though. He looked sharp in both games against Roma.

Anybody else concerned about not having Son next week!

IF I do Son > Bruno this week, I’ll probably reverse that transfer next week.

sheroman01

Okay, I can't go without Bruno. I hate myself for this but going safe. Son > Bruno.

Now, next safe option is Lowton > Ward.

But, I do have 5.6m Gundog who I wouldn't mind getting rid of. Can someone talk me out of Milivojevic, lol? Is he even still on penalties these days?

Edit: Milli took a scored a pen when Zaha was on the pitch (in March vs. WBA).

Lingard / Bamford - OUT

One transfer for me: Greenwood in for ESR.

Have finally used my bench-boost chip now too as four of my mids have at least two games (Greenwood and Bruno have three), and two of my three strikers have a double-gameweek too, with Son and Kane the anomaly and undroppable. Targett vs. Pool and United is the only issue in this regard.

Sanchez-Patricio
Veltman-Rudiger-Laporte-Lowton-Targett
Greenwood (capt)-Bruno-Jota-Siggy-Son
Kane-Iheanacho-DCL

Hope Brighton-Wolves and Chelsea-City finish scoreless now

You should get a decent score from your bench boost this week with a bit of luck....I used my bench boost last week and had 4 players tied up in Utd Pool game so gained nothing from it at all:(

Sometimes this game brings you close to tears:)

This lad got the Leicester team spot on last week, and early too. Looks like the Luke Thomas 4.1 DGW dream may be over again. But does increase the potential of Vardy Party perhaps.

Looking at Kane and Rudiger out for DCL and Digne. Have 2 Man U and I think thats enough.

Still not sold on TC Bruno tbh.

alchemist33

Dias to TAA, Kane to Watkins and Son to Salah for -8. It gets me extra games and sets me up better for next week. And I'm chasing so the risk is worth it

Something similar here. Not pulled the trigger yet but for a -8. Thought I was going a bit extreme but seeing your post has given me a little reassurance. We can't both be mad surely :eek:

Kane to Wally Otkins (Have DCL already)
Son to Salah
Stones to Trent

Can we? Can we both be mad? Can we? Tell me godammit!!

My doubt is the selling of 2 Spurs players for the pool punt. I'm only 8 behind in my money league so need to keep the head a little.

Son/Bale both have form so thinking one of those maybe?
Hard to know how good Havertz is for FF - scoring 2 against a team in bottom 3 isn't saying a lot. Also with the riches Chelsea have, does Havertz start both games?

Double united defense - means you want Watkins/Nacho/Salah/TAA all to blank Utd game, or at least two of them to blank v Utd, just something to be wary

I never understand this thought process. Just because you have competing players in your team doesn't mean it's going to influence the outcome. Hedging your bets is a better option than going all in on one team or the other. Plus, both teams could score heavily and the defenders might gain attacking points.

How Soon Is Now

Wonder would Pogba be an option he could well play most of the 3 and has been more or less playing on the LW.

Muahahaha

yeah you're right on Havertz, too much of a rotation risk so I dropped him for Greenwood. Took Henderson out to go with Maguire, Bruno, Greenwood

The other side of it is spreading risk, if I went Henderson & Maguire a single goal from Salah//Nacho/Watkins destroys the clean sheets of two players in one go. The upside of 2x United defence is a potential 12 points from a clean sheet but the above strikers are all in form and have been scoring lately. I think they will only get one clean sheet from the 3 games, likely Villa.

Its him or Greenwood instead of Jota for me currently.



Id like to take a risk on Zaha because the benefits be huge but can you trust him? The only reason im considering a Palace defender cause hes cheap and there playing two weak teams.

Jim Gazebo

Thinking of Dcl for kane and TAA for Alonso now instead of just Alonso to Digne and saving the free.

Kane to outscore DCL in one game?? Someone convince me, I'm doing quite well and afraid I am getting sucked into DGW mindset.

No I don't think Zaha can be trusted but if you are chasing I would take a chance on it and go for it.

Ace2007

Not going to help us as deadline is tonight, but if Chelsea where to beat City at the weekend, United could potential close the gap to 4 points before city play again. Stranger things have happened in football, but city needing 2 points from 2 games would pile pressure on them. So Ole could start the strongest team in the games in eye on subs.

Im not dropping Kane but I can see why some would take the chance of DCL especially with the two games. I've got returns from Calvert Lewin this season but he's also burnt me a few times when I kept faith with him so i won't be jumping back in this season. Wood is the one id take a chance on but im happy enough with my front three for now.



Kane is Kane he hasn't looked at his best last game or two but he's always capable of returns and Spurs will have chances against Leeds im sure.


Hes going for the golden boot as well.

Fitz*

Going by this, I'd take a guess that United will rotate heavily in the Leicester game. He also alluded to Maguire not playing all 3 games.

No one seems to be going for Rashford? He didn't start last night so surely has the best chance to start this weekend. Am I missing something?

Can't afford to get bruno in without losing Salah and don't think it is worth it

How Soon Is Now

Seen Ole also mentioned the Maguire has played every game so far this season but that will change.


Ffs should i not get Greenwood in now and look elsewhere. This is so annoying ha.

Fitz*

Jrod also missing at least one game, so that changes my plans again.

Pogue eile

This GW is going to be carnage and so much frustration and full of disappointment

wanderer100

No surprise. Don't think any United player is going to play all 3 games especially with the Europa league final looming in a couple weeks time.

Best to treat this GW as a DGW

Rashford has had an ankle/foot issue for last few weeks, but he comes across as the type that always wants to play and will fight on through it. He hasn't completed 90 mins in the last few games, and as you said didn't start last night. I think you can get better for 9.6m investment though.

Logic would say Maguire would want to play against Leicester and/or Liverpool, so might miss Villa game, but it's all a guessing game.

It's not the be all and end all but it's something to definitely be aware of. If you have 3 defenders up against 3 attackers, in general if your 3 attackers score, your 3 defenders blank. And vice versa.

JPup

Is Cavani a good United option? Anyone looking at him seriously? He's arguably United's most in form attacker at the moment. Looked sharp against Roma. But big rotation risk clearly. You'd be lucky to get 180 mins out of him across two games arguably.

I think that thinking only really comes into the equation on a free hit. Otherwise, you are selecting players with a few gameweeks in mind. You'll always get some weeks where there is an overlap of fixtures in your team.

How Soon Is Now

What's everyone's reason for jumping back on Calvert Lewin?

Would it be worth going -4 to bring him in for Bamford.....

Ffs why do I do this haha.

Was all set on a Salah captaincy, but the in-form player in the league up against Newcastle and United Bs in a double is a really tempting proposition...

My conundrum now is if Trent is worth a -8 over the next few weeks. Looking at their fixtures I would probably say yes but still hesitating pushing the button! I'm nowhere near in contention in money leagues at this stage but in your position i'd probably be a bit more cautious! I do like your proposed transfers though. What sort of shape is the guy ahead of you in?

How Soon Is Now

Now im thinking of bringing DCL in for Bamford and maybe keeping Jota instead of Greenwood.

Or would Greenwood playing a part over 3 games be worth more than whatever Jota does? That would include a minus four.

Have you a free hit still?Jota plays in 36 and Greenwood doesn’t, effectively costing you 8 points.

Of course it's unavoidable but what i'm saying is that if you have 2 defenders, one up against a striker you also own and another who isn't, you should probably pick the one who isn't if it ordinarily would be a 50/50 pick between both.

Jesper

My Free Hit Team.
Arsenal only have the UEFA cup qualification to play for now so I think they have to play their best team in premier league. So I feel it's only because I have exact money for it I have Abu in my team. His competition would be Zaha/Ward Prowse.

Guaita
Digne / Castagne / A-Arnold
Abu/Salah/Fernandes (c)/Greenwood
Cavani/Iheanacho/Calver-Lewin.

Bench is all non playing rubbish. I almost made the bench it's that bad.

What would you change?

claw

Current squad:

Martinez Areola
Digne TAA Struijk Konsa Ward
Raphinha Bruno Salah Lingard Son
Iheanacho Watkins Kane

Considering a -12 for my bench boost:

Phillips in for Struijk
Greenwood in for Raphinha
Zaha in for Son
Henderson in for Areola

Would leave me with:

Martinez Henderson
Digne TAA Phillips Konsa Ward
Greenwood Bruno Salah Lingard Zaha
Iheanacho Watkins Kane

Not seeing a better week to play bench boost. Main issues are obviously Son and Areola.

Sounds like he may be fit.

https://twitter.com/MattWoosie/status/1390644301160386560


Which actually has me thinking of a -8 now.

Sanchez -> Henderson
Dallas -> Shaw
Jrod -> Zaha

I'd be gaining a couple of extra starts anyways with Thomas & Jrod, so the -8 should be covered somewhat but it is an awful lot of reliance on Utd clean sheets for points.

it gives me 22 for GW35 but the bare 11 for GW36 before the FT.


The alternative is

Sanchez -> Henderson
Thomas -> Ward
Jrod -> Zaha

Have Utd coverage in defence, but also has other defence also and not reliant on a rotated side.
This also gives me 22 for GW35 & I'm well covered for GW36 with 13 before the FT.

Just reading some of the comments on the thread has me avoiding doubling up on United defence. I am happy just to go with Henderson and see in my bench boost does he score 4 or more than Areola who I currently have. I think the Villa match is the best chance of a clean sheet.

There's also the chance in the Liverpool game IMO. Those games have tended to be 0-0 in recent years, as have a lot of the top 6 United games this season.

I think I might just take the chance with Henderson & Ward in defence. Spread the risk/pain!

Have 2 FT but thinking of a very boring Mendy to Pickford to set me up for next week and getting Kane back in. Also considering guiata but I think Pickford will outscore him for the rest of the season, as long as he doesn't lose his place again.

Sitting at about 75k overall so happy to play it fairly conservatively. Really wanted to captain Nacho or Salah but will play it safe with Bruno.

Have 7 DGWs and 2 TGWs but have a feeling it could be a bit of a damp squib as there'll be a lot rested, the likes of Kane or son (even lingard, wood) could outscore some of the DGWers.

He has double Pool defence (Robbo and Trent) and Jota. I probably wouldn't be considering Trent if he didn't have him. So he's maxed on Liverpool already.

I hope he doesn't go getting rid of one to bring Salah in. Salah is to going to be my big differential hopefully.

Our teams have been ridiculously similar lately. Last week we had 7 players, Martinez, Lingard, Bruno, Son, Kane, Jota and Nacho. He's followed me with my transfers the last few weeks so it's been a grind. I wouldn't go so far as to say he copied mine but with 500 quid on the line it's quite possible.

mackcracknsack

Jota or Greenwood?

Currently have Jota with 0.3 in bank. Can transfer in Mason who is currently in better form but will he play all 3 games. Same can be said for Jota who could easily be rotated.

Squad is
Martinez, McCarthy
Shaw, Rudiger, Coleman, Struijk, Thomas (Leicester),
Salah, Lingard, Bruno (c), Son, Jota
Wood, Kane, Nacho
Playing bench boost this week

Cartman78

Tempted to get rid of Azpi for Maguire/Shaw but it feels like a sideways move.

Fwiw I think Azpi will play one from 2, and the Utd lads will prob play 2 from 3. And both will blank next GW anyway so it seems like a waste of a transfer almost.

Although having said all that, a couple of clean sheets for Utd could be damaging in OR and prob one of my money leagues

I'm getting rid of Azpi for this reason to Maguire most likely.

Setting my team up so I can at least bench Maguire or transfer out next week, happy with rest of team. Azpi is too much of a rotation risk and only see him playing 1 of the games with no CS guarantee.

Whos the obvious captain choice this week? Greenwood or bruno?

Dubh Geannain

Option A - 8
Kane to Wally Otkins (Have DCL already)
Son to Salah
Stones to Trent

Option B - 4
Bruno - Salah
Lingard - Greenwood

I feel I need Salah this week and these look like my only reasonable options to get him in.

Salah. Likely to play 180 mins, reckon neither of the other two will top that.

Fear is a terrible thing. My head says Salah, but the FFScout poll has Bruno at a crazy high percentage. If protecting a lead, it's difficult to look past the percentages.
