    Have a feeling this week will be Salah's turn to go big. Have Son and Haaland too but may actually captain Salah. Not many chances in the season to go non Haaland captain so this could be a great opportunity.. ..or a disaster

      Considering this too. Salah has been weird so far. Decent underlying numbers and has always had chances, but never really feels ruthless and like he's going to haul. WHU away is a hard fixture for Haaland, though. Can see him getting something like 9 points, in which case it might be worth a punt on someone else.

      Salah here too, at least we won't have to wait long to see what damage we've done to our teams 😀

        Entire weekend of regret if he blanks though...

          I'm heading out Saturday night so can quickly drown my sorrows at least for this one!

      Early KO curse though 🙁

      Yeah I agree I usually hate the early kick off captain but trying to go with my instinct a bit more after a decent start and play it safe most others weeks with Haaland captain. Salah just has such great history as someone who can haul and I feel it is due over the next few weeks. It's him or Son for me this week, hopefully I'll stick with Salah. No regrets and all that!

      If it makes you feel better, I'm considering captaining Awoniyi. 4 attacking returns in 4, and at home to a Burnley team who've conceded 11 goals in 3 games. Somebody talk me out of it.

        He could easily get a goal and assist. Very interesting shout and genuinely good FPL option too. I've gone Aurier and Turner for that game so I'm all in on Forrest this week with you

    1FT + 0.7 itb which would you do?

    A) Pickford > Leno
    B) Baldock > Cash
    C) Mubama > Archer
    D) Roll

    Pickford
    Udogie, Estupiñan, Chilwell
    Salah, Saka, Bruno, Mbuemo, Mitoma
    Haaland, Alvarez

    (Turner, Mubama, Baldock, Bell)

    I don’t really know why Slab head gets so much abuse. Been pretty good for england and plenty bigger donkeys in the premier league. Easy target I suppose

    1. GreennRed

      A lot of those doing the abusing are clueless about football. Social media rentacrowd clickbait.

          Yeah. 'fans' on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook from LA to Lagos referring to United as 'we'.

            It’s clear why he’s lost his spot at his club. He’s been great for England but when you’ve been under scrutiny for failings before it’s easy to have this cloud follow elsewhere whether it’s fair is irrelevant

            1. GreennRed
              • 13 Years
              1 year, 27 days ago

              Constructive criticism from football people is fair for him and seems like a fella who can work on it to improve. What goes on online is best ignored. I like how Southgate spoke about him after Scotland game though. Shows loyalty for his player going though a tough spell. Hopefully he can move in January because he needs gametime rather than just the few England games.

            They're the reasons why Man United gets so much money from TV rights coz though not in Manchester, they pay to watch games. So yes, they have every right to use WE.

              • 13 Years

              They're not football supporters if they go online posting clueless trolling clickbait.

      Because most are incapable of having their own opinions.

      80million is why

      1. mwa1t
        • 3 Years

        Irrelevant imo. Blame United's shifty billionaires for that not the player.

        1. Scalper
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 27 days ago

          You think ppl are cognitively capable of using rational reasoning?

          It usually goes likes this:

          “HAHAHA 80 million??? FOR A SLABHEAD? HHAHAHAH”

    4. mwa1t
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 27 days ago

      Yeah - influential player for England getting to a WC semi and a Euros final. Deserves more respect for that definitely. Concerns about whether he's playing enough at club level to be called up/has declined as a player are totally legit, but the abuse is just moronic.

    5. Feanor
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 27 days ago

      Well past his best. Has barely played for his club team and refused a move to another club where he would get a lot of minutes. Only getting picked for England because the cowardly coach plays favorites and refuses to pick on form. Looks like a meathead. Last two goals were own goals.

      Fair enough.. but people forget that he did assault a Greek police officer

        Didn't he bribe, or try bribing them too lol

      Before that England match, I was looking at a maguire fail video and was thinking about his mental health tbh.

      He really does get so much stick, and tbf to him, he actually handles it very well.

      You never though what's really going on in his head. He see's the funny side in people criticizing him, but it must get to him deep down, and its so prolonged. The worrying thing about depressions etc is that you wont normally see the warning signs until its too late.

      At the end of the day with Maguire. He tries his best, I'm sure. Its not his fault that idiotic Man U broke the transfer fee for him, or that he gets picked to play for either England or Man U. Perhaps people should direct their hate towards them instead?

      If someone was stupid enough to pay me 350k a week to kick a football every so often, I'm fairly certain I'm not going to turn that down. Once again, blame Man U for making a dumb deal in the first place.

    Sancho was banished from training with the first team because he refused to apologise to Ten Hag

      350 grand a week that fellas on!! Absolutely ridiculous!!

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 27 days ago

        The stories coming out about questions over his attitude and application at both Dortmund and ManUtd. Needing ETH to pretend training was an hour earlier than it actually was just to get him to arrive on time (only for him later on to still turn up late) is a level of pathetic from a player I can't comprehend. Similarly this:

        "One source close to the German club noted that although “Jadon was mentally tough on the pitch” he could be “quite childish and unprofessional with little things”. Occasionally missing team meetings or oversleeping were viewed as problematic. It got to the point where Edin Terzic, Lucien Favre’s assistant at Dortmund, would personally knock on Sancho’s hotel room door to pick him up before meetings."

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 9 Years

          I would suggest that childish behaviour, missing team meetings and oversleeping are symptoms of wider mental health, lifestyle and relationships problems.

        Footballers these days are pathetic

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 27 days ago

          Not all. Some footballers like Son are the perfect example of what a footballer should be.

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 27 days ago

            Yup even as an Arsenal fan, Kane and Son are very good examples. They just play football and avoid trouble off the pitch.

            But it’s not hard to do when you’re paid that much money and the likes of Sancho probably will never learn that

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 5 Years
              1 year, 27 days ago

              Funny you mention Kane. As I wrote that, I felt harsh not mentioning him.

              I agree, they have the mentality of an adult, sancho, a child.

      I blame social media tbh and the money these days. Social media gives players a voice that they didn't really have before and the money makes them lazy.

      Yes, they were interviewed by the media, but they are all trained for that, and the club dictates what they say really.

      Now, they can just send out a message to millions of people in seconds.

      I cant name them all of the top of my head, but Ronaldo, Sancho, Dele Alli, are all examples of this.

      I hate it how things are these days. I am not even particularly old, but I hate social media. If I was a manager, I'd try and ban it, and any prima donnas like sancho can just do one.

        Funny that you mentioned dele alli because when I read about sancho needing to be called for meetings and my first thought was maybe the lad has a few issues and maybe needs a bit of help in certain areas of his life. Who knows what’s going on in these peoples lives. Everyone is quick to judge these high paid profile players but beneath it all they are only human being with feelings and who knows maybe some personal issues. Dele Alli for instance, his upbringing, the neglect and abuse he incurred and he goes on to make it as a professional footballer, fair play him.
        As for Harry maguire, we are teaching our kids it’s okay to laugh and mock people. Not on! Macguire might not be able to take the pressure and does something he can’t turn back from where are we then.

      Pedro to Edouard?

    2. SanderM94

      Agree with Pedro out. You could maybe invest in Morris with favorable program including double in GW7.

      Turner might become number 2 so could trade him in case you don't want to waste a transfer, otherwse good to go imo

    How do you explain the fact that Forest's value is 400mil being the 22nd most valuable club in the world and 9th in the league but their target is to avoid relegation?

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 27 days ago

      That won’t be their target forever though. And they’ll easily avoid it this season

    2. GreennRed
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 27 days ago

      Their valuation shouldn't drive their potential in relation to their league position. Cooper should. Newcastle could be winning leagues by spending billions in that case.

  13. Shark Team
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 27 days ago

    Nuno Tavares(4.0 def) for Marseille last season 31 league games 6 goals, very attacking full back, should be starting for Forest at LWB. Wrong price for this player imo

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 27 days ago

      Well they priced him when he was at Arsenal and that would have been a fair price. I got him in on my WC in GW4. Think he’ll get to play at some point and I’ll play him when that happens but he can’t defend whatsoever

    2. TBL
      • 2 Years

      WHo's their LWB at the moment?7

    A) rashford -> son
    B) Salah -> son + upgrade Pedro
    C) something else

    Any thoughts would be appreciated. Having Salah is really restricting me to upgrade Pedro who may not start and a weak bench. Also restricting me to upgrade Eze to someone like Mbuemo if he continues to blank

      I prefer Saliba over Estu for this gw, Everton’s attack is very bad

          That's a pretty good suggestion tbh, and not one i gave much thought to. I do want Maddison, at some point. I'm just kind of scared of dropping Bowen, I had him since the start, and he keeps returning.

          Do you think he blanks vs city?

    Which of those players I should be more worried not owning:
    Son Rashford or Saka ?

    1. Udogie-style

      This week, Son. Next week, Rashford or Saka.

      1. Shark Team

        Best pick long term if only one ?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 27 days ago

          Son has biggest upside

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 27 days ago

            I don't remember Saka scoring a hattie, but Son as striker is pure gold.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Someone doesn't have all 3 of them?!?

      1. Shark Team
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 27 days ago

        Well none had Son before 1 gw, Rashford is worse than Bruno imo and Saka was sold to afford Maddison

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Salah owner? I basically expect them to outscore or match Salah in the long run, at least depending on fixtures.

            Nah, I believe Son Rashford will outscore Salah. Maybe selling Bruno for Son(C) this gw is an option for me but Bruno has very easy fixtures next 2 while Son has derbies

        Having said that, I found Sterling looking at me in my team instead of Rashford 😉

    Saka or Bruno to Son?

      Bruno plays for Man U, so him.

        I tend to agree. In some games (1st and 4th?) Bruno has been playing far too deep.

    A) Exact cash for this mini wildcard (-4).

    Gusto > Udogie
    Rashford > Maddison
    Odegaard > Son

    B) Or could just do this for free:
    Beyer > Udogie
    Rashford > Maddison

    A or B?

      Son is really tempting but B is def the option for me. Ode+4 is worth more over next 3 GWs surely?

      Then Son 2-3 GWs down line if still showing form.

        Yeah that was my initial thought. So tempting though if he’s playing down the middle in a very attacking Ange-ball team. Odegaard hasn’t really been in the points ans I always feel that when he is there’s an element of luck. Son will probably do well against Sheff Utd but could easily get returns against Arsenal and Liverpool also.

        Not taking the hit is the sensible option though.

        I don't think we can wait too long to be sure and still be ahead of the curve. Getting good tested player who has historically done extremely is not high risk transfer.

      A for me, but my average hit cost per season is probably 64. No problem when they pay off, though. People here are too hit averse, however jumping from good asset to another chasing last week points is stupid and I have been too knee jerky this season.

        Someone made a very good point that it’s not so different from everyone jumping on Sterling in GW4 after his haul. Question is will Son -4 outscore Odegaard over the next 3. Not sure...

    Onana + Odegaard > Leno + Son?

    1. JabbaWookiee

      Sounds decent. Free?

      Odegaard is playing Everton. EVERTON.

        E-V-E-R-T-O-N

            • 8 Years
            1 year, 27 days ago

            Conceded 4th fewest shots per game so far.

              But it is EVERTON.

              Their opening 4 matches have included Fulham, Wolves and Sheff Utd 🙂
