        Just don't rate Carrick at all. Casemiro papered over a lot of cracks.

              What did he do, in particular, that papered over any cracks. Carrick's arrival raised morale and results followed.

                Scored a bunch of set piece goals from low xG and knew how to tackle. No one else in that Utd midfield can.

                United slightly unlucky today mind, xG race has it 1.8-1.3 in their favour. Not that that’s particularly impressive against Hull, but promoted teams can be tricky on the opening day

      Defs and GKs were fine originally. You've only made 3 subs further forward, so you could have just saved one and taken a -4. Real knee jerk unfortunately, especially as GW1 hasn't even concluded yet.

    I’m a Sangaré owner and general Sangaré believer.

    This might sound crazy but tonight worried me. He can produce some attacking returns, but it won’t be anything ridiculous, his main appeal is DefCon, but he only got 75 mins today. With a DefCon player you really want 90. I won’t be selling him, but not sure how many points he’ll get in future if he keeps being subbed after 75 mins

          I doubt it will be, but the way I look at it, even if he blanks in GW2 with no DCs, he will still have scored decently over 2 GWs.

    Only regret so far is not going with my gut and picking Sangare over Groß.
    Bit frustrating as gone with gut with rest of team.

    Still optimistic though, a dodgy pen and Groß could match/outscore him still.

        Yeah I swapped out Sangare to Groß at 18:18, the only reason I did as well is because I saw Groß’ stats from the Europa league game

    Anyone else had Thiago and Schade....that missed pen still hurts

    Add to that Neco Williams losing his CS at the last minute

    Playing Ballard and benching Muhremovic

    Can just laugh at these things and move on to be honest

    Would you start Rodon ahead of any of these for GW2? Maguire, White, Cala.. if so which one?

      No, I’d start Maguire, Cala, and White. You might get Rodon anyway if Konsa kicks White out of the team mind…

    28 points with Palmer, Semenyo, João Pedro, Rogers, O'Reilly and Donnarumma left to play. Pretty alright with that. White/Calafiori/Tzolis bringing the points!

      You’ve gone all in on Chelsea and City! A FH3 in the offing to get Haaland and ditch triple Chelsea attack?

      I quite like backing the Chelsea attack tbf. Kinda wish I had more tha just Joao Pedro…
