I knew it was a risk, but I thought they might play a stronger team vs Burnley and weaker vs United. Then they have plenty of rest before the FA cup game.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yea, but I would be fine if he came of 70-85 minutes, not 50 something minutes :/. Now, if he doesn’t play against Cardiff my week is ruined.
Oh right I see what you mean. I assume that's just because Pep hates fantasy players.
I’ve taken a risk despite the Lindelof newsI was going to go for Shaw but he was showing as having a knock and I think he is one yellow card away from suspension.
Well that backfired.
Shaw and Rashford gamble paying off nicely!
Well that backfired.
Damn, that is frustrating. Can see your logic with Shaw as well so it’s hard luck there.
On the bright side at least you didn’t waste 9.2m on Sane! Proper annoyed with myself as I had free reign to pick virtually any team given my team value was so high and I’ve managed to balls it up.
Only consolation is he’ll surely start at home to Cardiff (please Pep..) and of the two that’s the game you’d want to play in.
I had Aguero as TC. Not sure if I should be jumping for joy or crawling into bed depressed.
Definitely happy if he's alright to play the next.
Just wish he stayed on another 5 minutes. That would have been another 3 points. But I guess I nearly made Sterling TC so there's that.
Yes, Milivojevic pen! Another gamble paid off
From a purely selfish point of view, I hope Lindelof doesn’t feature in the next game either as I have Wan Bissaka as first sub.
Yes I’d like to think Sane will be starting v Cardiff and if he does, he should score some good points.
Edit: No clean sheet anyway.

You never know with Pep! He could easily start Mahrez and keep B Silva in there!
Well that backfired.
The last few times a United player hasn't been in the hotel/travelling party, they haven't been in the squad, despite all this "join up late" stuff.
As soon as someone pointed out there were 20 members in the squad, I knew Lindelöf had to go!
Will be 61 post bonus, with Hazard and Luiz tomorrow, but that Shaw late conceded goal was super annoying, turns what could easily have been 10-11 into maybe only 5.
Aguero could easily have done more as captain too.
Still, 100+ points or bust this double!

Late goal from Watford ruined a 'nearly perfect week' so far for me. A clean sheet for us would mean Shaw+Pogba gets another 6 from bonus points & clean sheets and it raised Rashford who i got rid of for Vardy (who got no bonus pts) last week to the second position after Doucoure (Shaw was bound to get 3 pts before the goal) of the bonus list in our game so more salt to the wound but stil i'm happy with 53 points i got so far.
Everything was going swimmingly until the last moments when Shaw conceded and Vardy got a goal for my rival. Need hazards to blank...
Meh. 45. A united clean sheet would have been lovely.
50. Taking out PVA for Trippier this morning on the back of some bullshit rumour about the Palace team was not my smartest move.
Another chance to move in to the top 1k goes begging.

What are you actually planning to do? My FH and WC are gone, hoping to get into top 5k this week and hope I won't fall out of top 50k next GW

Yeah I'm in the same boat regards lack of chips. Currently have 7 players playing featuring 0 forwards, but don't want to mess things around for the remaining GWs after...so probably 2/3 transfers with 1 forward coming in and play a 4-4-1

Had a little look now and based on their fixtures for the next 2 GWs it's definitely a choice of 3 from Fraser, Wilson, Maddison/Tielemans or Vardy. Leicester only have easy games for those GWs though, whereas Bournemouth's fixtures are still okay til the end of the season.
If Aguero is injured I’m going to cry......
Hazards starts on the bench
ffsHazard is one of my differentials and no one in my league has him, starts on the bench.
Meanwhile guys with crap squad value are picking points up with the likes of McNeil from Burnley who has scored 2 weeks in a row.

I don’t have hazard but do have Pedro so that is a little bit of genius from sarri
No Hazard, wtf!!
So far this hit paid off with me captaining Aguero…...jeez how is hazard benched.
After two weeks of thinking I made the decision to go for Lindelöf instead of Shaw, and Doherty instead of Van Aanholt on friday. I also included Hazard, instead of trying to shoehorn Kane into the XI.
I hate this game.

To be fair, if it's a one off week like this is for most people with the free hit and you're chasing someone, you're better off taking some risks on random players. The highest scoring teams for a week usually have some in.
Hazard would've been a tough one to leave out though with these two fixtures.
That’s a slap in the face for the Chelsea double defence.
Can't say I didn't warn you lads.
Gaah I nearly went Azpi over Luiz as well, but didn't because Luiz takes freekicks.
Oh well.... And Son not starting. These wildcards never meet anyone's expectations do they?!
Azpi 10 points.
Even sweeter as my rivals all have Luiz and Kepa.
The one ‘highlight’ of my freehit so far.

61 yesterday and 3 from luiz ans hazard today. Still, can't be greedy.
No-one in the last game.

It was until Azpi got that jammy offside goal. Worked out like two clean sheets anyway. I'll take that. Not fussed about Hazard as everyone has him anyway.
Yeah that’s a good way of looking at it. I have Azpi and Luiz so happy with the 12 points between them.
