  You could BB both I'd say. They looked decent in the cup game. Maybe see if that is maintained tomorrow night to help make your decision

  I thought Munoz was safe, but after this week getting subbed early I am not so sure anymore

    If he comes off early against Shakhtar he should be good to start both games surely. They're 3-1 up, so if they build on that I can see him coming off.

    I am strongly considering that also. The floor isn't high vs MCI and nor is the ceiling. I rather sell Semenyo for Cherki for example. Prolly higher upside.

Some early thoughts on moves for next GW. Will wait until Friday to pull the trigger. Which option looks best?

A: Cucu Palmer Senesi > Gab Saka Munoz
B: Cucu Palmer Justin > Gab Saka Lacroix

Verb Darlow
O'Reilly Cucu Senesi Hill Justin
Bruno Semenyo Palmer Tav Gomez
Haaland Pedro Welbeck

    Thanks, I guess it's the higher ceiling. Lacroix probably the higher floor with more likelihood of Defcons, but Munoz more exciting

Michael Carrick has told broadcast media that Sesko's half time sub was due to a shin problem the striker has been carrying "for some time."

"He got pushed and caught the bit that's been causing him some problems." #MUFC

  I can’t believe they got hammered by Brentford, but I suppose they have their own European motivation

    I think that first time in my life or during my fpl career I am going to avoid dgw players from one team on a small dgw.
