Monitor – Alexis Sanchez

So, Are we keeping Salah ?

I don't think his freedom is being restricted - Mourinho basically just lets his attackers figure things out. What Alexis is now doing is playing the way he wants to.

Wenger had to constantly battle to stop him dropping deep to try to run the game. But Arsenal had Ozil, and United don't. So Alexis as playmaker is probably the best thing for the team right now. He'll score less goals but get more assists - likely not worth his price tag as a result.

It does mean good things for Pogba though, and probably Lukaku.

Is Lingard a good option for this week, or is it more likely he will only start one game?

For those without or not playing a FH in 35 is your tactic:

A. Load up on doubles this week and take copious hits next week to get a side out
B. Load up on doubles this week and play with only 6 or 7 next week
C. Strike a balance between 8 or 9 doubles this week and 8 or 9 starters next week to get 10/11 out easily

Example. I want Eriksen this week, Sane next week. Do I play.

Sane, Sane – 2 fixtures, no hits
Eriksen, Sane – 3 fixtures, minus 4

It’s that sort of example across the board really. How many are you prepared to do?

Bench Sanchez

2FTs and need to drop one of my midfield to afford Kane as part of a -4.. has to be Salah (gulp) or Mahrez

A) Auba Mahrez Monreal > Kane Albrighton Vertonghen
B) Auba Salah Monreal > Kane Son Tarkowski

Leaning towards A as I don't think i can bring myself to selling Salah!?

Would you rather have:

A. Valencia (giving triple United defence with DDG and Bailly)
B. Azpi (giving double Chelsea defence with Alonso)

Pick one :
A) Lukaku and Gudmundsson
B) Vardy and Pogba

BB team for next gw

DDG Ryan
Alonso Smalling Tarkowski Lowton Morgan
Salah Son Mahrez Willian Lingard
Kane(C) Vardy Austin

Anything worth a hit?

Who to get for Gudmundsson, max 7.0? Have Gross already

Sorry for the repost, but it was lost at the end of the last article.

I have all my chips left and with dwindling opportunities to use them. But have a lot of points to chase down in my ML, circa 70 pts.

Pondering whether to Free Hit GW34, WC GW36, BB GW37 and TC GW38

which will give me a full DGW squad for GW34, 8 + FT for GW35, full 15 for DGW37 with BB.

current squad :

DDG, Ota, TAA, Bauer, Chilwell, Robertson, KDB, Ster, Son, Alb, Mcarthur, Vard, Lukaku, Firm, Lossl

and yes, I know I have been utterly stupid to not have had Salah all season.. and now I'm paying for it.

madness or a better option that I've not considered ?

Using my FH this week to try and preemptively catch up in my ML and put some pressure on those at the top.

Biggest question is Pogba and Hazard, or Sanchez and Willian? I can afford either, but can't decide. I feel like Sanchez and Willian is probably "safer".

The full squad except for these two slots:

De Gea
Azpi Morgan Sanchez (3.9) (3.9)
Ericksen Mahrez (4.2)
Lukaku Vardy Barnes

Thoughts?

Would you guys do
A Auba and Choupo-Moting > Vardy and Pogba (play BB)
B Auba and Mane > Pogba and Lukaku
C Mane > Alli

Rest of attack:
Sanchez / Eriksen / Anrnie x x
Austin / King / x

Pogba or Willian, that is the question?!

No attackers from either team but 2 united already in defence.

Which combo will be most success for DGW 34??

A. Kane & Lingard
B. Lukaku & Son

triple captain:

1. Lukaku
2. Kane

thanks

Hi guys, any way to get Sanchez and one of kane/Lukaku in the team? Have 2ft and 0m itb

Ddg Ryan
Alonso Bailey Maguire Cedric lowton
Mahrez Son Gross salah Willian
Aubameyang Vardy Barnes

A: baily/salah/auba >> kane/pogba/smalling (-4)

B: baily/salah/auba >> eriksen/Lukaku/Christensen (-4)

C: find a way to get Sanchez..only way I can possibly see it is with a 8 point hit but then I ask is it worth it?

De Gea Ryan

Stephens* Alonso Bailly Lowton Morgan

Salah Gudmundsson* Mahrez Willian Gross

Barnes Auba* Vardy

A) Auba and Stephens --> Bertrand and Lukaku (C) (-4)
B) Auba, Alonso and Stephens --> Kane (C), Christensen and Bertrand (-8)

Playing BB - think there's a fair chance my two ML rivals may TC Kane so ideally want him in this week but Stephens has scuppered my plans! All responses appreciated.

Best £5.7 or under GW34 defender? Smalling?

Have three Leicester players so no Maguire.
(Also have Vertonghen, Christensen, Morgan, and Lowton)

Will TAA play this week?

Lovely seeing the yellow flags gone from Salah and Robbo

A or B?

A. Salah and Lingard

or

B. Son and Pogba

Eriksen or Alli?

I think Pogba and Sanchez were getting in each other's way for a while. Jose seems to have found a balance for them both to play together and both to excel. Really hoping he sticks with the 433 so Pogba can continue make runs forward. But no doubt he'll be held back in the pivot of the 4231 and Lingard will be #10 🙁

Lukaku for free or Kane for -4?
I know that the Kane vs Lukaku discussion is a hot topic on its own. Would an extra 4 points for Lukaku change your mind either way?

Best 5.2m defender? Will BB

Already have Azpi Smalling Morgan Lowton

If sanchez only had a single game in gw34 (WBA) would you still captain him at the expense of Auba (new)?

Auab > Lukaku this week for free? Leaves me with the BB team, GTG?

DDG / Ryan

Alonso / Vertonghen / Dunk / Lowton / Morgan

Mahrez / Son / Willian / Gross / Cork

Kane / Lukaku / Barnes

What do you think is the better combination to go with on a FH?

A. Lukaku - Son - Rudiger
B. Vardy - Eriksen - Valencia

Thanks!

Anyone have any thoughts on Jones...?
