FPL team reveals: Who I’m replacing Kostas Tsimikas with for Gameweek 3

Gundo to Benrahma the template move, or Tsim/White to a 4.1 like Livramento

A

Salah

C) The one I'm sacrificing them for

Trent. Likes of Digne Shaw Cresswell Reece can offer similar attacking potential

Salah is simply on a league of his own

Trent who’s already got attacking returns so far and in a more sturdy defence with VVD back and 7.5 hard to ignore though

Nope neither

You'll regret making this move, keep and decide in a couple of weeks or so, they are far too good assets to let go..

Thinking Trent tbh. And keep Shaw as the only premium def.

Start

Sub

Already looking at Bruno out.

He has to start surely, imagine him walking out again at old trafford

Sub like Sancho & Varane id imagine

100% starter

It's 15 days away. Join team training tomorrow, in the stands on Sunday (registered too late to play), international break, train together after, start GW4

Just like Bruno two seasons ago, there's no reason to ease him in. He's fit

Starts. It's the first home game. The fans will clamor for it.

I think he'll come off the bench, to an insane reception. Better for his ego that way too.
Sancho and Varane starting, Ronaldo might be kind and give them their little moment

Definitely starts

Newcastle at home, definite start

Think he’ll come on off the bench personally

I simply don't know. But there is a good reason for him to come as a sub. He get's his moment. And on the other hand they haven't trained together. With start there are more risks and less to win imo. If he starts and they lose, it's not fun. If he comes as a sub and doesn't score, it doesn't matter. If he scores, he gets two "moments".

Prefer Sarr personally.

A

Well that’s not going to happen till personal terms are agree, he’s announced and added to the game

He will be minimum 12 but probably more.
He will score less points than most of players above 10.
My humble opinion.

14

12-12.5

i think 12m same as bruno

12.5 I guess, anything less would be very welcome

13

12.5 would be perfect. but considering the amount of hype, he might be 13

12.5/13

12/12.5/13

12.5

I'm actually betting real money with some mates it will be 12m - perfect price to force people to choose between him and Bruno - less than Kane but more than Lukaku...

I am absolutely sure he comes in at same price as Lukaku, that makes sense right?

ings

Ings has a good fixture but his numbers haven't been great, and I guess you'd remove him next week anyway because of the fixture turn?

In which case its just a case of who you think scores more this week

bruyne will drop deep occasionally and there are plenty of players to steal his points. overpriced IMO

A

B saves .9

A

Ronaldo and dcl

A all day every day because pogba will vanish soon.

A

A

Most people have 2ft and wildcards left. Always nice to have 2 frees for the IB though. GL

im on w/c ,im declining ronaldo unless hes 10.5 or less,imo its salah and kane ,people gonna have to choose 2 ,3 at the most from 6 or 7 ,now lets have saurez back at liverpool...

1m+ transfers this week for 4.0m defenders!

Has to be the same or more than Bruno doesn't he. If he is less then it's a nail in the Bruno coffin for the season..

Hopefully 13/14 to reduce ownership

12-12.5 forward most likely, yes

12.5 is by far the most likely, not a chance he'll be less than that

Martial will end up at Everton.

Juan Mata to Brighton, in protest.

The problem has never been identifying players that Man U need to sell. It is finding a club willing to pay the inflated values Man U place on them and more importantly their hugely inflated wages.

West Ham may accept a 20 million fee for Lingard at a stretch but no way will they come anywhere near to meeting Lingards wages and the player himself has shown himself very unwilling so far to take a big pay cut.

Like it. Not sure having such a solid, concise and well thought out plan is in vogue though.

We require panic buying like it's boxing day and we have to rip up our plans for the new shiny toys.

Definitely

Against Salah, Chilwell. Against Fabinho on set pieces, Alonso. Chilwell is the by far best footballer, but in that 3-4-3 you get so much from Alonso and Chilwell loses his supremacy natural footballing ability over Alonso, this system favours Alonso to put it simple. In a regular backline there is really No contest. Alonso is awful as a regular fullback because he is too slow, he is awful positional wise and cant defend. But in a 3-4-3 his good qualities masks the bad ones, because the extra cb and one of the DM cover his fault beeings.

Trents a strong attacker too.

Looks decent though.

Trent over Salah for me

That defence really suffers

No United attack would be my issue with that team. Pogba and GW very good value.

Dier not nailed since the new centre back has been signed.

Yep

Already set. Have Lukaku and Kane right now

No, why? Can't they both wait a while?

Nope, not interested till 2nd IB

Yh. Worried about Greenwood's minutes and Bruno without pens is a huge no

Why? You prefer 2 premium strikers, captain headache and a garbage midfield vs balanced midfield with cheap hauling strikers?

Nope. I have 2 FTs and a very strong squad.

Nah. Couple of transfers next week if I want Ronaldo.

Was almost committed to it, but I can do

Bruno + Ings > 11.5 fwd + 8.0m mid

with my 2 fts.

Was wildcarding anyway.

Nope

I have Bruno Greenwood and Ings, so will need a -4 for one of Lukaku or Ronaldo upfront.

I am still only going with two big hitters and rotate them with form/fixtures this season i think.

We will see what unfolds over the next fortnight

We were truly blessed with Lundstram a few years ago

Martial was a crime against Man U … LOL, dreadful player.

4 days to go.
We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.

I guess they'll have to cry into their 250k per week each salary slips...

What were they supposed to do? Ronaldo becomes available, you have a chance to sign him…you sign him.

United need a Carabao Cup team. Martial and Cavani fit in well.

Wouldn't he surprised if Martial is gone by deadline

I remember Bruno saying he would share penalties with Rashford last season. If he shares with Ronaldo he won't get them back.

Ronaldo will take them, no chance he'd let anyone else

Ronaldo will wanna take them and Bruno will let him.

I think Ole will have to make a firm call. I posted these career stats a few pages back: Bruno - 41 pens, 3 misses (7%). Ronaldo - 139 pens, 27 misses (19%). Can't get sentimental about penalty takers - have to go with who you think scores them most of the time.

Yeah I think Bruno will keep them and DFK’s - he’s a much better pen taker that CR7

Fernandes doesn't get a look in for Portugal - that's the precedent that's been set.

Bruno may have said he wouldn't mind sharing in the past but if Ole takes it away from him, it will affect Bruno's confidence and morale. The team, the game play is built around Bruno, scoring these penalties (easy goals) keeps the player's confidence intact.

How you got itb?

Assuming Ronaldo is 12.5 I can do the exact same.
And if he's more I'll get Raphinha probably.

Agree there is just no need for a wildcard … -4 worst case for most people I feel.

You’ll need to Sarr rather than Jack

No way he could be benched first game at Old Trafford again, fans will demand it.

i'm fully invested in the GW4 hype

Have other plans, so not really interested. Fully committed to 3-5-2

If he's fit, he starts - Man U make all their money back on shirt sales that weekend alone!

great team. gtg for sure.

He played midweek. He's fine

For Juventus?

This weekend? No. Debuts against Newcastle probably

No

No. He would have to have been registered by 12pm today to take part in this weekends fixtures.

Won't be in the game by this weekend.

Exciting player but inconsistent. Maybe this is the season that all changes.

On my watchlist, observe him.

i have him in my draft league and like him - not sure he's quite an FPL asset - I'd wait till after transfer window to be sure Everton don't bring in more players.
If he ends up on the wing as he has been then he's a really interetsing enabler.

After GW1 people said Townsend for 5.5, now its Gray, maybe Iwobi next week?

His average position is higher than DCL's.

He will fit nicely into the Forward line, next to Antonio and Lukaku

Imagine Pogba moves back deeper and he plays in number 9 poacher role as he has done for Juve?

Rapha all the way.

Pogba

go cheap like Gray and get premium forward

Thanks all

Think he is nailed but will move deeper

Toilet paper all over again
