    Who is the ManU asset to get?

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ronnie

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Lol not this

    2. Rainer

      A nailed Telles/Shaw & Ronaldo if you want to spend that much. Their other attackers look too expensive when the gameplan is to feed Ronaldo.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Feed him full of blanks for me

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ronaldo is also too expensive

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      De Gea, Telles and ... Fred 😛

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

  2. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Martinez denies Maddison.

  3. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Daka and Lookmans pressing is a force of nature send the VT to united to show they how to press.

    1. Randaxus
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      them*

  4. chonks
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    any Fred chatter in these parts?

  5. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    How did rashford and Sancho look today?

    1. Cantonascollar7
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      For all his negativity around these parts he's done well the last couple of games

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rashford was poor. Sancho did ok and was unlucky to be taken off early instead of Rashford.

  6. Offside Trapattoni
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Reguilon tweeting out he's going to be fine in a few days and not to sell him in FPL, just classic..

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn't matter he'll blank from now on anyway

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bamford did similar.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 5 months ago

          And patience was rewarded today

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Someone out there did Bamford to Lukaku to Vardy to Kane and would have been better off with autosubs & cash...

      2. Devos
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He's worth keeping for GW 19-21 anyway.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would you lose any of this mid fo Bowen?

      Salah Son Foden Jota ESR

      Thinking ESR but has hapless Soton next. Son otoh has depleted Brighton and leaky Leicester next.

      Maybe postpone getting Bowen in GW18? But then I'm not sure of his fixtures (NOR SOU wat) is really better than ESR's (lee nor WOL)...

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'm waiting on Bowen
        Soton aren't hapless,that Brighton goal was so crap and lucky

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Their defence is.. plus now both goalies are out.. definitely worth targeting

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            How dare you

      2. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        ESR out of them.

      3. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        ESR

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lots of Kane owners want shot including me & thinking of going Ronaldo but then I see a lot Ronaldo owners want shot as well!

      Suns up the striker chais with no stand out options

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I’m setting Ronaldo in for this long good fixture run and hoping he does well

        They don’t need to explode every week to be good or even need be captained just some bloody returns consistently will be good

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Which Ronaldo won't get, I've had him since he arrived, nowhere near worth 12m

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            He’s ticked over pretty well in that time bar the 2-3 game spell at the end of ole’s run

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Not good enough for 12.5 of my budget

              1. Bushwhacker
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Ralf’s comments were interesting, like he didn’t notice the press dissolved quickly second half

              2. Make United Great Again
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                This. Might as well get Watkins for ticking over points

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Neither are great value
        Probably better going cheap up front and having a strong mid/def like:

        DDG
        TAA Cancelo James Alonso
        Salah Son Bowen Bernando Jota
        King Dennis Broja

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wildcard pretty much done. Only choice left is Ramsdale vs. DDG. Opinions?

      1. chonks
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        ram jam

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Think Ramsdale. Down the line I'd rather a United full back and wouldn't want to double up.

        1. MGMT
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Cheaper route is Tomiyasu + De Gea

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            For a reason, it's worse than Ramsdale/Shaw.

      3. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ramsdale saves and fixtures coming up.

      4. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        DDG White

      5. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ramsdale, not even close.

    6. Drogo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Dennis or King?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        King.

      2. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Dennis on the eye test for me.

      3. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        is both overkill?

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting to see 173k transfers in for Dennis so far for GW16 vs. just 23k for King - i.e. 7.5x as much...

      5. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I've gone King so you'll be safe with Dennis

    7. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry FFS I decided to seek my own path, please help me get back to under 500k 🙁 1 FT & 2.9 ITB and WC left. Should I WC or are there better moves?

      Sanchez

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      54 with Rasmdale to play. Gutted I bottled the Son armband. I think I’d have played it on him if I were chasing in my mineagues.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Borderline brag this is

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          On 33 here, good times good times.
          Following last gw were I had gw rank of 6.8mill.

          I have ramsdale and tomi, so a cs would somewhat give me a respectable score.

        2. Weak Become Heros
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Apologies mate.

    9. jackruet
      • 2 Years

      Sell vardy to afford son before Newcastle? Or give him one last chance

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years

        Nah, have to give him Newcastle

    10. Randaxus
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think McGinn is better than Buendia

    11. jason_ni

      Lol, have you seen regullions tweet.

      2fts,1m itb
      Toney and Normann to Dennis and bowen?
      Gives me time to decide on what man u attacker to go for, if any?

      Guaita foster
      TAA cancelo james alonso livra
      Salah jota gundo raph normann
      Kane toney Davis

    13. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Makes sense to keep Son for now even if means going without Jota for another week?

    14. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Harvey Barnes looking like the player he was pre-injury last year. Tempted.

    15. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone playing all 5 across the mids? if so, what would you say are the best realistic options? I am thinking of upgrading my fodder to Bowen but don't want to ditch any other mids....

      Salah / Sonny / Jota / Foden / (fodder)

      TIA

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Bowen or ESR

      2. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah if you've got money for fodder to bowen, that's a good move

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          means pulling out of elsewhere in my team.

      Evening guys thoughts on below?

      Sanchez
      TAA Rudiger Cancelo James
      Salah (C) Son Gallagher Jota
      Vardy King

      Foster Livra Gelhardt Gilmour

      A) Son + Vardy to BSilva + Ronaldo -4pts
      B) A + Gilmour to ESR for -8pts
      C) Save FT
      D) Something else

    17. Randaxus
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Leicester's attack looks absolutely exceptional.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Much better without Vardy.

      2. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        How's Daka looking?

        1. Randaxus
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Daka is playing exceptionally well.

      3. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Uh …

    18. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Maddison might actually be a serious option this time around...

      1. CBonci
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Don’t fall for it!

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Haha this

    19. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Any reason not to pull the trigger?

      Raphinha & Pukki ---> Bowen & King 2FT

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah looks good

      2. CBonci
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I’d do it

      3. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Looks good

      4. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Would sell Raphina even with those fixtures, he's pure class and goalies just let his crosses in

      5. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Would not

    20. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts here? -4 to get rid of Kane is a nobrainer right?

      Guaita
      TAA Cancelo James Alonso
      Salah Jota Raphinha Saka
      Kane King

      Foster Gilmour Lamptey Armstrong

      Kane, Saka, Gilmour to Son, Foden, 4.5 for a -4

    21. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbuendia, Jesus and Pukki to Mount, Bamford and Broja? (-4)

    22. SKENG
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What would you do this team? Got 2 FTs, 0.9m ITB.

      Ramsdale
      TAA Cancelo Alonso
      Salah Jota Raphinha Mbeumo
      Kane Antonio Jimenez

      Foster Brownhill Livramento Williams

      If Alonso is out, I think a hit is necessary. I was thinking maybe Alonso, Raphinha, Jimenez > James, Foden, King for -4?

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Alonso should be fine. Rest midweek and plays next weekend. Do the other 2 moves for free

    23. Tomas_brolin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      For those of us fed up with Sanchez who are we going to

      A. DDG
      B. Ramsdale
      C. Anyone else ?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        A as getting White

      2. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'm not fed up with him, gets save points nearly every game and ramsdale leaks goals with that porous arsenal defense

      3. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ramsdale

    24. _Ninja_
