    Ronaldo captainers - any concerns on him having the armband today? FFS team news and MEN seem adamant he’ll start today.

        Fair point but they quote Ole at Wolves when he said ‘Ronaldo wasn’t signed to sit on the bench’. No Cavani today either so why not start him in a favourable fixture in a league he hasn’t played in for years. I can’t see what United gain by starting him on the bench.

      Personally I think they will bench him today and full debut at home...

      But that's opinion! I am sticking with Salah captain but starting Ronaldo up top with Antonio (vc)

        When I read Ole’s comments initially I thought he would start from the bench. But with two poor away performances in their last two PL fixtures I think Ole will want to hit the ground running with Ronaldo. He’s had a preseason with Juve too.

      I suspect Ronaldo owners/captainers will do well this week, but for that price I want a sure thing. Dodgy fixtures coming up and his ownership hasn't climbed enough to risk dumping Bruno, so for me it was worth holding fire to see what the penalty situation is, even if it ultimately means losing a few points.

      I have no problem at all capping him, even if he doesn't play 90. He's a goal-getting FPL asset any way you slice it. Easiest decision of my WC.

    For the next 2-3 gameweeks;

    A. Ings+Bruno—> Ronaldo+Torres, -4
    B. Ings+Bruno —> Ronaldo+Mount, -4
    C. Save, and have 2 FTs for the next gw (and maybe get Jota then)

      I’m going Mo but just because it’s the safer option. Guaranteed start and on pens. Slight doubts over both of those for Ronaldo. Plus I feel I have plenty of United coverage with Greenwood and Ronaldo. So hedging my bets a bit.
