    Really don't get the clamour to sell United players, their fixtures aren't even that bad on paper and they tend to win games where they're the underdogs. What am I missing that means they should be transferred out?

          Again how is that answering the question. Liverpool have been shaky defensively and arguably United have a better side.

        But this doesn't really answer the question especially as that's only one game. Their only tricky fixture really is the Manchester derby, however they turn up in games where they're the underdogs and it's at Old Trafford.

        They beat Everton away last season and Man City at home, they turn up in games where they're the underdogs. I may well transfer Bruno and Maguire out, however people are acting as though they're not going to win for the next 7 games.

        Shaw was a terrible pick anyway. Have no idea why his ownership was so high, he can't defend and doesn't get forward much.

    This season seems to be the most non template year i can remember in a long time. Loads of different types of teams doing well, some Haaland, some non, same for Bruno or not.

    Feels like the premier league is way more even in general this year and catching the few mismatches will be key.

    Still going ahead with the aggressive BB1 WC2 TC3 FH4 strategy. Took a gut punch with no Bruno today but still hanging around close to 100k.

                Thanks. Yeah think double Utd defence needs to go. Was a punt as didn’t expect hull to score. Having no city defence worries me but would need to downgrade someone to fodder to get them in
