Foden/Bowen for Gordon I suppose

Bowen

Pho

Foden. Bowen doesn't haul and I can't see Foden being rotated in this form and with City chasing, even when Haaland & KDB are both back.

I have both.

Can't think of a keeper that's jumping out as a pick. Who were you thinking?

see below, I am very sad, I would hold though

i would do it now. or in the morning, before prices change.

Wait

Wait. Imagine if he gets injured.

Those players are definitely out,

I'd sell them.

Depends how much you need that 0.1. I'd wait

He isn’t. Loads of people have been getting him.

Can only have 5. He's not in the top 10. Citeh not as great this year. Pep Roulette is always a threat

Alvarez and Foden outscoring him generally.

B

In the absence of S&S, I'd say the most desirable mids are:

Palmer
Bowen
Foden

And possibly...

Saka
Olise
Elanga
Odegaard
Diaby
Gross
Kudus

I don’t have Son & Salah to deal with. I have Haaland

yes for sure for mine but my recent judgement has been bad lol

All day. Only question imo is Bowen or Foden

I suppose my question is... how much do I self flagellate because of the compounding issues!

There will always be the "what ifs" or "should haves". Did you lose Money or just Pride? Either can be recouped ...

Are you content with your team, have you a plan to deal with Son and Salah. If so, I'd say don't sweat it for now.

I think you've gotta roll with your decisions and play on. Hopefully you made your choices with rationale behind it, then hopefully it'll pay off.

There are two reasons why it might not, 1) bad luck, which you can't do anything about 2) bad judgement.

Where it's 2), you can learn from it and build that into your decisions.

Looking at both of the above, I think you've just been unlucky.

thanks for the kind words fam. Tough pills to swallow but set up for a good month ahead I hope!

As much as you want but it won't make any difference

I'm praying for a Saka no show tonight! Happy for Salah to stay quiet too!

1 Saka
2 Bowen
3 Watkins

... at time of writing

I'm on Haaland, but will naturally monitor over the coming weeks. Tempted by Palmer, however we've seen how that pans out sometimes. I'll have Bowen too. But need to find a way to get to Solanke. I was panicking about TAA but might just roll through and stick with Tripps with the hope when the fixtures turn it will eventually pan out. Believe me, I've been ranting about my poor luck as much as the next guy.

I'm currently Bowen, Palmer, Watkins, Saka. If I got KDB (assuming he starts) for Salah, probably him

No way. Palmer benchers must be punished!

Most will flock to Foden. Olise could be a real nice differential though. Have you got/got a way to Haaland when he's back. I expect City and him to cook when he's back. Plus double coming at some point. Especially now Mo and Son will be out for abit, you'll want him IF he's back.

Elanga will come in for me. Advised someone else to make that move for this GW, should have taken that advice for myself.

Open a bottle of booze and drink.

Garage sale & get rid of the old lazy pensioners & bring through some of the youth players?

Mainoo & Daillo were actually fighting for the badge, Rashford & others were just not interested.

I’m thinking Newcastle maybe.

Accept that utd is a mid table team and occasional lose is cool

Yeah I'm a United fan.

I've just made peace with what it is, can't let it consume me anymore. Came to the realisation that if the players & owners can't give it the respect I think it deserves then I can't let it occupy my mood.

In terms of ETH, he isn't covering himself in glory but equally he isn't the problem.

I’m not sure what you’re expecting. The squad is nowhere near good enough but it’s not the managers fault. They sold the best players and didn’t invest in the summer.

Oh sorry I thought you were talking about Sheffield United but you meant Manchester United.
What should you do? Well you’re all glory hunters so just move onto the next thing. Don’t pretend you haven’t already thought about it. Is it Manchester City?

Rangnick was right. United need open heart surgery.

There's a huge list of issues and it's really difficult to see a silver lining. I wasn't even upset when we lost today. It's true to form.

I guess Garnacho's moments of magic and Højlund getting his first prem goal has been the highlight of the season so far.

I would think not. Bowen rising tonight.

Only bad thing is that he plays today and if he gets injured, it's gonna be annoying.. you could wait to be safer, but it's gonna cost you an extra 0.1

Injuries

Yes

Same

Same, i wonder if some are giving miss information?

To be fair, I have seen a lot of those posts and they were like..

Bench 1...
Salah, Saka, Son, Bowen, Palmer

No matter who people chose, it could have been the same issue with 18pts on the bench.

You’re not alone - can only hope Salah, Son or Solanke get injured in the warm up and he’ll be subbed in..

For me it was between Gordon and Palmer
Luton have been strong at home
Newcastle have been awful most of their last 5 games
I sat Gordon. 50/50 call IMO
I take responsibility for my own decisions

I'm curious how lots of people benched Palmer.
LUT (a) is a great-fixture on paper, and he's on penalties.

Who else could have come in that was a better option?
Looks like Solanke, but still stand by my comment on how he could perform v TOT (a)

Mayb don’t let others tell you what to do? Learning opportunity

Was a tough call, played palmer to have a player in the early Ko. Small margins. Benched Saka instead.

Next GW

They play this week (we assume). They are definitely out next gameweek.

Hoping one of them may have fancied an earlier flight….

When KDB is nailed on its between Foden and BSilva
Last year Mahrez was in the mix too.
Also last year he was benched for conduct too

Not for me. Jota has only 5 goals total this season. There's a lot of people doing better than that, and are on form.

I did Salah + Son -> Foden + Olise, but there's a bunch of other options out there. Some people think KDB will be back next week. Could be good if he is, but I'd prefer more solid news on that first.

Even if it doesn't work out, you should gain enough money to rebuy Salah at very little loss.

Son to Bowen, also done.

I have 7.8 in the bank, so for GW22 I can get Haaland in for Solanke, Nkunku or Watkins. Or I could swap Hwang for Salah.

Why would you go so early?

Gordon Haul locked.

I have Lascalles and Gordon and was thinking it would be smart to move on. Then I thought of their price and potential. IMO what Newcastle need most is some rest and relaxation. They have seemed pretty much spent the last 5 games. Do you know if they have games over the upcoming 2 weeks?

No immediate plans, wait and see for me. Money will actually be tight if Haaland comes back soon.

I'd need to see him play a bit and get regular minutes before considering.

Everyone tired from busy xmas schedule

The fixtures are spaced out like this to create a winter break.

Haaland is not back yet
