Foresight – that precious gift that that can bless any Fantasy Football manager. We need it now more than ever.

As Jonty, Andy and myself struggle with the countless permutations offered up by the looming double Gameweeks, we can only hope that our mutterings and musings come laced with just a little dash of foresight.

Steered by an array of community questions targeting the possibilities of the fixture pile-up to come, the three of us discuss the best-laid plans in attempt to jolt our squads out of the current rut.

Around the early double Gameweek discussion, we chew over the optimum blank-dodging strategies as Sigurdsson, Spurs and Stoke top the menu of options. Then, inevitably, we turn attentions to the immediate job at hand, as we preview the weekend and pinpoint potential clean sheets and “Fantasy Island Risks”.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Memphis is a huge confidence player. He's clearly got talent!

      Professional football has talent shocker.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You know what I mean...

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I do, I do. Sorry 🙂

      He's clearly not as good as he thinks he is

    3. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody ever doubted his talent I think.

      He needs to learn to play for the team, change his attitude and he will be great under another manager.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You pretty much summed it up!

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      TBH this is his level

    5. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Once he realises it's a team game, he'll do well.

    6. Studgie G

      what a surprise turns up always when they play this lv of team

      there's a lot of young talent at Utd.
      When Mourinho goes there it will all disappear out on loan.
      Shame they can't get Pochettino in.

    Barbie Girl was number 1 the week Marcus Rashford was born. Feel old?

      I was at a pub quiz for my kids school fund raiser. One of my kids teachers was on my team. There was a question about Ireland at Italia 90 and I was like "ha, no brainer". He told me it was a year before he was born.
      It was a seminal moment in my life.

        younger people should be banned from most things 🙂

  3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

    Man U pen

  4. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Another penalty

  5. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Herrera takes it, and scores.

  6. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino to Eriksen or Alli?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen

  7. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thats how you take a pk.

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mata has lost pens to Herrera then...

  9. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    GW27 Captain Dilemma...

    A. Vardy
    B. Mahrez

    Basel going out as things stand. Another very good side capable of shocks.

    1. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

  11. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years

    Sweat over phew

  12. Licious Lizard
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Completely understand why they did not let him take it, but wow would that have been a wonderful night for Ashford if he had gotten it - and gotten it right I might add.

  13. Licious Lizard
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Midtjylland red too

  14. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Basel goal. 4-4 on aggregate.

  15. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Well deserved son

  16. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Memphis deserved that goal

  17. Licious Lizard
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    United 5-1

  18. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Memphis goal

  19. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Big upset tonight.

    • brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Five live

    • Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Great goal

    • The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      LVG and Giggs only talk to each other when things are going well

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Don't talk much then

    • Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe this is Depay's level. 😉

    • Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez -> Memphis and Vardy -> Rashford done fore a hit

      1. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Will you hire a Danish team for them to play against again?

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I have to admit that it was actually a joke.

          But I can tell you that Midtjylland are getting slaughtered in Danish media.

    • Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      @Syd, 😐

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        You win some

        You lose some

        🙂 🙂

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          You must be happy that you posted it twice now 😉

        2. Sjaugen
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          This is why I never bet.
          Good night to be an united fan

      Man Utd are going to destroy Arsenal in this form

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It's not form. It's class.

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Form is temporary. Depay is permanent

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            😀

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Define class

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Depay.

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Lol

        Lol not a chance

    • Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs through to final 16. Dortmund too. Napoli out.

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Man United & Basel also through.

      2. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        you had to jinx Basel, now we'll get them and get knocked out, Basel and English sides 🙁

      hats off to jazz predicting herrera as utd's next peno taker after mata miss earlier

      🙂

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ahem.

    • Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Herrera shouldve let rushford take it.

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not at 3-1, way too risky seeing as they were only a goal away from going out.

      2. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If he missed and utd lost , that would have destroyed him

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          This exactly.

      3. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They needed a new penalty taker, not a hat trick hero who won't play
