    Bruno is rested on the bench after flying all over Europe. Thats why Ronaldo has pens today. He will replace Ronaldo in the second half for an incredible double ovation.

      I think he’ll start. As an owner I’ve enjoyed the flag - kept lots of people off him and he could easily be the weeks highest scorer.

    Final call please my friends…

    Transfers plans essentially between:

    1. Raphinha
    2. Jota (-4)

    Therefore:

    1. Fernandes Ings >> Raphinha Ronaldo [then Toney >> DCL / Jimenez or Benrahma >> Jota next week]
    2. Tsimikas Fernandes Ings >> Livramento Jota Ronaldo (-4) [then Benrahma >> Raphinha next week]

    Thanks guys

    Have taken a hit but gone for Lukaku over Ronnie. That was as a Utd fan I’ll have something to celebrate no matter what happens.

    I think there’s some logic in there somewhere.

      For what it's worth I've gone Raya. Looks good for saves. Sanchez has looked poor in my opinion.

      I've paired him with Steer who may have to cover for Martinez again after the next IB. Raya has Chelsea that week and Villa have Wolves.

        I just tend to captain a player who plays at home. Salah is away. Newcastle is just too tasty fixture for United not to captain any of their players! That's why I'm on Bruno. Maybe a mavervick move, time will tell if it was right decision ;D
