Easiest week this season to pick a team, just benched James and pray that Cancelo starts. And use 2 FT's next GW and hope maybe some info of DGW's but unlikely.

Kepa

White, Cancelo, Trippier

Salah, Mount, Martinelli, Rashford

Haaland (c), Nunez, Mitro

Ward, Andreas, Beuno, James

GL all, tonight's the night Nunez goes off I feel.

Toney goal.

Well done to anyone who took a gamble on him

wanderer100 · 30-12-2022 8:09pm

Liverpool CS gone

Cartman78 · 30-12-2022 8:33pm

DaSilva (Toney)

Ace2007 · 30-12-2022 8:45pm

Toney was never on my radar but it’s a joke that a player can be charged by the FA for betting before the WC, and is playing away now with a potential ban incoming - it’s such an unfair situation especially on the teams he’s playing against - why is it taking so long to suspend him?

Cartman78 · 30-12-2022 8:48pm

Nunez assist.

Faes with two own goals for Leicester.

TAA assist for the first I think

Cypher_sounds · 30-12-2022 8:52pm

How will he Faes his teammates at ht after that!

2 of the oddest OG's you'll ever see, dunno how Nunez didn't finish his one without the help of Faes. Should have scored.

Ace2007 · 30-12-2022 9:12pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120047853#Comment_120047853

I feel for the first one, if Leicester players had of ran back to the line they might have been able to head it away instead of being on their heels - maybe that's been a little harsh but felt like it was in the air for a while

Ace2007 · 30-12-2022 9:22pm

Robbo off injured, Tsimiks on

Ox off, Keita on

shmeee · 30-12-2022 9:40pm

Nunez...... A hual.is.coming!

I can't keep saying this.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120048046#Comment_120048046

Two tough away games coming up now, think I'll move him on to Mitro. He doesn't need 15 chances to score.

extra gravy · 30-12-2022 9:46pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120047801#Comment_120047801

Stretchered off there so probably won't be seeing him again for a while either way.

Ace2007 · 30-12-2022 9:55pm

Nunez missing chances after chances - bit like Sterling at City a few years ago - if he could finish he would be a great player for FF.

caviardreams · 30-12-2022 10:02pm

Did Robbo's injury look bad? Could do without using up a transfer on him

macraignil · 30-12-2022 10:34pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120048121#Comment_120048121

He walked off OK but he went down seeming to know he had to come off. The commentator mentioned something about a hip problem.

Ace2007 · 30-12-2022 10:52pm

Nunez had 7 shots and created 2 chances.

ArmaniJeanss · 30-12-2022 11:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120047801#Comment_120047801

I guess he is entitled to due process, to be given a fair opportunity to read and assess the charges against him to see what allegations he has to defend. It's clearly far more complicated than say a dangerous tackle where they can charge & have the hearing before the next game.

Some might say a full-pay suspension should happen once the charge is announced, but at a guess I'd say the players union wouldn't accept this.

By the way I'd tend to agree that the ~6 week gap since the charges is too long. Seems to me that 2/3 weeks for him and his lawyers to read the charges would be reasonable.

31-12-2022 12:58am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120048401#Comment_120048401

Didn't he get charged with more counts since it originally came out so it seems the investigation wasn't even fully over, the timing off it coming out the week of the world cups picks was a little suss. I reckon it was Wilson :)

shmeee · 31-12-2022 11:32am

No Rashford ! Oh bollox.... On bench. Dalot not in squad

XI WOLVES: José Sá; Nélson Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Bueno; Matheus Nunes, Rúben Neves, Moutinho; Hwang, Diego Costa, Podence

XI MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Shaw, Malacia; Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Martial, Garnacho.

crushproof · 31-12-2022 11:45am

Great news for anyone without Rashford. Let's go Bruno!

Cartman78 · 31-12-2022 12:03pm

Ugghhh...for internal discipline reasons.... whatever the hell that means.

gammygils · 31-12-2022 12:10pm

Den Haag being a Pep

Annoying for Rashers owners

shmeee · 31-12-2022 12:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120049288#Comment_120049288

And the fear of Cancelo not starting to come now later to add to this.

Andreas and Beuno only 2 bench options.

Was happy enough yesterday at 6pm and didn't think of Rashford of all players getting benched.

Ace2007 · 31-12-2022 12:19pm

Wouldn’t be too disappointed if Rashford didn’t get on, as maybe then would mean he’s done his time and will get on the next game

Xander10 · 31-12-2022 12:22pm

Pep will rotate between today and the midweek game. Is he more likely to rest some today at home to Everton than away to Chelsea?

ShaneU · 31-12-2022 12:26pm

Got lucky not owning Cancelo, James or Foden last week. Don't either Rashford either. I do own Robertson though hopefully it's not serious

Rikand · 31-12-2022 12:41pm

Brought in Rashford this week for Trossard

macraignil · 31-12-2022 1:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120049387#Comment_120049387

Rashford reported to be coming on for second half.

Ace2007 · 31-12-2022 2:00pm

Cancelo and Foden on bench

Ace2007 · 31-12-2022 2:04pm

Rashford goal (Bruno)

shmeee · 31-12-2022 2:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120049678#Comment_120049678

Love it!

Bruno assist, some here have him also.

Great finish.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120049666#Comment_120049666

At least Rashford got a return and scored after Bueno came off so 6 points from Bueno on bench if Cancelo doesn't feature.

Bueno CS points nice surprise to fall back on.

wanderer100 · 31-12-2022 2:10pm

Cancelo coming on for a 1 pointer blocking Bueno’s 6pts is guaranteed to happen

Ace2007 · 31-12-2022 2:11pm

Rashford again :)

Probably going to be disallowed for handball - albeit accidentally

shmeee · 31-12-2022 2:12pm

Goal

Rashford again

Came back off goalie so no assist

Var-handball

shmeee · 31-12-2022 2:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120049713#Comment_120049713

VAR ruled out, handball, Rashford couldn't do anything about it

gammygils · 31-12-2022 2:13pm

So I can look forward to a Cancelo cameo to keep my Shaw points on the bench...... again

Also have Bueno 3rd sub. Actually have more points on bench than my team currently 🙄

Ace2007 · 31-12-2022 2:16pm

Rashford with the most stupidest of yellows for kicking the ball when it was wolves free kick

gammygils · 31-12-2022 2:16pm

Martial subbed and out of my team

Thanks for the 8 points Tony Two Gloves

COH · 31-12-2022 2:35pm

Everyone praying for Buenos 6 points.... we know how this ends!

Cartman78 · 31-12-2022 2:42pm

Shaw in the mix for 3 bps 😬

extra gravy · 31-12-2022 2:44pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120049836#Comment_120049836

I might regret going Botman over him.

wanderer100 · 31-12-2022 3:08pm

Haaland gone down after 1 min, looks to be in pain

Edit: he's back on and running now , looks fine

Ace2007 · 31-12-2022 3:26pm

Haaland (Mahrez)

Fitz* · 31-12-2022 3:38pm

Andreas (William)

1-0 Fulham

Anyone start him? My first sub and doesn't look like playing

Fitz* · 31-12-2022 3:40pm

KDB yellow also

F1ngers · 31-12-2022 3:42pm

Ayew/Eze 1 each, Olise with both assists.
