    Whilst yesterday was disappointing, at least Mazraoui is a key player for Amorim based on his MOTD interview.

      True, however he was playing as one of the 3 cbs as opposed to RWB / LWB.. So not ideal for an owner imo.

        As part of 4.5m defence rotation I'm happy to keep.

          Yeah fair enough. I was contemplating bringing him in last week but now he's playing as RCB I'll definitely swerve.

          I plan to rotate him with Digne and hope Digne plays. When United keep a CS, Mazraoui is the most likely defender to pick up bonus points

            And Utd fans will hopefully keep buying him, with Dalot 0.6 more expensive on the same FPL points.

              And that still looks a worryingly poor side (if you're a Man Utd fan).

              Going to take a lot of time, investment and patience to stand any chance of becoming a good side.

        Hopefully Amorim learned a lot from yesterday - Amad is a massive waste at wingback and really needs to start as part of the front 3. Yoro being back soon should push Mazraoui back out, though it might take a few games.

        I think our best XI for this system is...

        Onana
        Yoro - De Ligt - Martinez
        Mazraoui - Mainoo - Ugarte - Shaw
        Amad - Rashford - Bruno

          That's asking a lot from Luke Shaw to cover the left side of the pitch.

            'Ideal world' case - he's shown he can do it before, but will take a while to get back to that level (if he ever does). In a really ideal world, he'd play LCB and we'd sign a proper wingback in January - we've been heavily linked with Alphonso Davies, but I doubt it happens this season.

            We just cannot play Dalot anymore, he's actually shocking.

            I don't think any fan is under the illusion that we're going to be competing for anything big soon, but that squad is more than good enough to make top 4 this season and win Europa / a domestic cup in a season where only one team has shown any real consistency.

                The team was worse in Ten Hag's first season and came third. We've had a nightmare start which led to sacking the manager, yet we're still only 8 points off, and it's not like any of the teams above us have been convincing either.

                  Like I said, I admire your optimism.

                  If you can look at that starting XI and feel confident and positive, then good for you!

                    I never said I was confident - I said it was doable. Like I said, the same group of players came third and won a trophy the last 2 seasons.

                      Sorry, i misunderstood then when you said it was more than good enough to make top 4. That sounded pretty confident and positive.

                      It's a mid table starting XI with clear need for a lot of improvements. The quality of it is below most other teams in the top 6 to 8.

                      It will need Amorim to make an immediate impact and do a fantastic job to get Man Utd competing for top 4 this season

                        I don't think the squad is worse than Chelsea, Villa, Spurs, Newcastle, etc. There's a large gap between the top 3 and the rest.

                        Personally, I'd disagree. The starting XI you listed lacks any real quality in pretty much every position.

                        On paper, it's behind most other teams in the top 6 - 8.

                        The game isn't played on paper though

    Haaland has scored 2 goals in last 7 gws from 8.03 (xG) since telling Arteta to stay humble.

    Arterta has put some voodoo curse on him ffs. Mans missing chances like Timo Werner

      He seems to be struggling against average CBs with no pace. Maybe he has more joy against a defender like VVD who might rely on his pace to defend. Spot the Haaland owner!

    Gave Haaland one more week v a Dunk-less Brighton and captained Solanke(c) v Ipswich (top attack v worst defence over last six). Blank!

    Gave Haaland(c) one more week again as he at least scored last time out v an injury ravaged Spurs defence in a must win game the gameweek after Spurs had lost v Ipswich. Blank.

    On the upside I now have 5 FT's! Salah in Haaland out and roll the other 3 FTs I guess. Will probably fall on the wrong side of the points again lol

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      The only reasons why I kept Haaland vs. Spurs was that he scored a hatty for Norway and that Pep extended his contract (mini boost).

      But ManCity seems to have more fundamental issues. Rodri out is just one problem. I think they might already know more about the investigations and their future.

          Similar to my thinking. Plus some players back fit. Couldn't believe it! I think you are right. Pep is re-signed for two more years so it must be some stuff in the background about the investigations.

      Is Mbeumo a sell from GW14 onwards?

      - Difficult run of fixtures
      - Mbeumo/ Brentford tend to play 2 up top against tougher opposition
      - There has been a drop in his underlying data
      - still nailed and on pens which helps over busy December period
      - money tied up depending on PP
      - transfers are precious and may have other fires/areas to improve
      - the likes of Gordon, Mitoma, Bowen and Semenyo are potential replacements

          4 months, 9 days ago

          I was originally planning to sell for Bowen, but getting cold feet on that given West Ham's form and the relatively short period of GWs I'd actually want him for. Then I was saving a place for Odegaard, potentially. But I'm most likely to go with double Arsenal defenders along with Saka, which leaves no space for him. So unless other obvious opportunities arise, I think I'll stick with Mbeumo and rotate him with Rogers, even though they don't rotate that well, to eke out some better value while saving FTs and hoping he's fit and in form when his fixtures turn for the better again. If not, I can consider Fernandes or another player when the time is right, instead of being stuck with someone I bought just because I wanted to play the fixture game (which is how I usually do!).

            I too had earmarked Bowen for the fixture swing. But on closer look I think Mbeumos fixtures aren't that bad for him specifically, Think I'll keep him until GW19

            Agreed on WHU/Bowen. Bowen's role under Lopetegui is different to last season, more of a creator this season and his goal threat has reduced

            I can see the fixture rotation between Mbeumo and Rogers, just feels difficult benching a player with multiple routes to points.

              Oh well I benched Salah already this season, so I won't find it difficult to bench Mbeumo. Just gotta go with what you think makes sense and deal with the inevitable failure with grace.

                  Interest, yes. Will watch the highlights of tonight's game. But he plays Liverpool in 14 while Mbeumo plays Villa (or I can have Rogers at home in that game). So maybe one to consider in GW16.

        If you dropped Haaland for Salah...
        ... in GW 10 > 27 pts diff.
        ... in GW 11 > 20 pts
        ... in GW 12 > 11 pts
        double with captaincy.
        Haaland needs 6 goals+max bonus vs Pool and Salah to blank to even things out since GW10.

        Many in here did the swap in GW10 and got Cunha(34 pts in last 3). Huge win for those.

        Only did it last week myself. Bowen+Haaland > Salah+Isak+1,6m

            Rest of my team was holding up reasonably well in GWs 10 and 11, so it wasn't that painful, I even got a small green arrow.
            GW12, however, was a nightmare.

          Means I then have funds to do

          GW14 Mbeumo to Saka for free & would give me the follow team

          Flekken (Fab)
          VVD Gab Nouri Lewis Greaves
          Salah Saka Palmer Bruno Dibling
          Pedro Cunha Solanke

            It's worth it, I think, but I'm not convinced it's the best option that would be worth it. Not convinced by VVD; maybe Timber is a better choice. And selling Havertz when he COULD go on to get mega hauls through this great and lengthy fixture run could end in big regret. Maybe sell Solanke this week and see if Havertz is back in the XI. If not, sell for Jackson that week or next (depending on if he's suspended for YCs)?

              Cheers mate, the only thing is, if I do bring in Timber then it means by holding Havertz then I can't get Saka.

              The concern for me is that Havertz is now a rotation risk.

                Good point, though maybe it's worth the potential hit to find out if Havertz is a good option. If he is, then maybe you can own him instead of Saka and save the FT while doubling on Arsenal's defence. Seems a good strat to me. As for Havertz' rotation risk, I suspect he is at risk, but with the denser fixture schedule to contend with, maybe this is the time to take that risk, as Saka will probably have his minutes managed anyway.

                If that doesn't float your boat, then maybe another player instead of Timber. I think VVD good for points, but too pricey for me. Maybe look for someone who rotates well with the other players you have and save some money for insurance.

                Have the same dilemma, likely to trade him out and got for 2x DEF and Saka

              Best Haaland replacement this week? The other one will come in in a couple weeks.

              A: Pedro
              B: Isak

                      Took a risk on him on wildcard as knew he was benched gw12 and got coverage if for some reason he wont play this week.

                  Haaland - struggling to hold him any longer

                  a) Keep, is Haaland now a differential?
                  b) Johnson, Haaland > Saka, Jackson/Isak/Cunha

                  Front 8
                  Salah, Palmer, Mbeumo, Rogers, B Johnson
                  Haaland, Pedro, Jimi

                      However, Saka plus Isak plus getting rid of Johnson is probably worth it

                    Should I take a -4 to do Haaland to Pedro and Dibling to Saka, or just do Raul to Pedro for free?

                    Current front 3 is Raul, Cunha, Haaland.

                      Possibly but City are awful atm. I shipped him out for Salah a few weeks back and have done really with with the likes of Cunha, Pedro, Jackson etc ...

                      I have Kelleher and Mbuemo as well and I think Kelleher to Vergruggen this week then Mbuemo to Saka next week is the most optimal. Sucks to not have Raya but Saka is more important over Xmas.

                      I don't like Foden as a pick. He has looked off it this season and Man City are in a slump. Wolves, Brighton and Ipswich have great fixtures and promising options in midfield (Mitoma, Gomez, Szmodics) or you could go with Odergaard who looked like he had a point to prove and will be a differential amongst the most active players since they'll be tied up with Arsenal defender, Saka and Havertz.

                    I think my WC in GW6 has cost me well over 100pts.

                    It's incredible quite how badly it went.

                    Sold Salah to get Haaland. Decided against Palmer so as to get Diaz and Mbuemo. Went big on Arsenal defence and Everton.

                    When the choices go not just wrong for a week or so, but badly wrong for many weeks in a row....

                    ... treat it as a write off and start over?

                      Remembering the fixtures those moves were reasonable. Cant always help everything going horribly wrong.
                      At some point concidered selling Wood. Was 0.1 short and he ended up going on a tear. Luck amount to a lot...

                          It's gone so far now, I can't see the point in getting Salah. If everyone owns him and is captaining him... no point in me doing the same. It's all differentials now.

                      I was lucky this season. I was so close to the early wildcard but decided I didn't have any serious issues so waited. Several people I know who wildcarded at that time are usually right up there at the top of the various mini-leagues but this year are seriously behind. It's a long season and plenty of time to claw back position. I still think a lot of people near the top aren't actively playing it, or at least aren't really focused on things. The bad news on that front is that many people will have perma-captained Salah and haven't needed to worry about anything all season, especially if they have a double Arsenal defence and one of the obvious cheap strikers up top (Woods, Pedro, Cunha were all popular at the start of the season).

                      I'm with you brother. That wildcard was cursed, and all my decision making since.

                      Haaland over Salah. DCL over Wood. Maddison just before he started getting benched (he's amazing again now I've sold him). Milenkovic instead of Aina. Raul just in time for his goal drought.

                        And the thing is, the tiny bits of bad luck and bad choices accumulated so I had no freedom if movement to ditch Haaland for Salah even though I wanted to weeks ago. Too many other issues to sort out.

                        It's a learning experience.

                      Very similar story, salah to haaland when haaland was on fire and a few other moves that just didn't work out in a big way. Pretty sure I'm well over 100pts down on where I would have been without the WC, all the moves were well thought out and seemed to make sense with fixtures at the time, just hasn't worked out.

                      its just a very strange season & you just have to check the PL table to see that teams are just taking 'random/unpredictable' points off each other.
                      In FPL I dropped 1.5 million (to ~2.2 million) by keeping Haaland (over Salah) yet somehow I'm just 50 points off my ML leader who is ~500,000 (he's normally around 10-50,000 ranked at this time every season).
                      A couple of good GWs and we'll be back on track!

                      What you asking?
                      3 are midfielders so probably not 1 or 2?

                          After that i would switch to saka+rogers.

                    I had thought that I'd lost 2 whole snoods this year, but I just found both of them in my cupboard. My scarf-wearing days are over again! What a Monday!

                      Current DEF is:

                      Gabriel RAN Lewis Robinson VDB

                        I think you can get away with playing Gabriel, RAN and VDB this week so no hit imo.

                        play Robinson as could easily get a return. Not worth a hit as definatley no guarantee Timber repays that -4 this week

                          or as above VDB too

                    if you had Dalot would you keep one more week and play or use an FT to get Porro or Timber in or a cheap Brighton defender?

                    Good fixture this week but worried if he starts as looked shocking yesterday

                        seems sensible. I just have a gut feeling Timberis going to become the December defender to have!

                    Is a threemium midfield of Saka, Palmer and Salah still the way to go or should Haaland owners still keep him, because this is my dilemma

                    GW13 Haaland & Semenyo > Cunha & Saka
                    GW14 Mbeumo > Palmer

                    All FTs and gives me a Salah, Palmer, Saka midfield trio

                    Any ideas would be appreciated

                      I'm doing it, but as ever there's always a case to keep Haaland. I've had enough now though. I don't even care if he scores 10 goals in the next 5 now, he's ruined my season already and I hate him for it.

                      If you're happy not to switch back in GW18 then go for it. Otherwise, it's going to cost you way too many FTs to switch back and forth.

                    Havent seen enough of them playing lately: Am I being crazy of contemplating Bowen in after the Arsenal fixture? Kudus is back by then right?
