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.
Son/Felipe Anderson/Mane?
I'd suggest Mane or Eriksen, or Son if you dont have him already.
If you’ve still got him (like me), I’d recommend not moving him out just yet. He’s still a prime candidate for the transfer but there’s a long time before the next GW, lots of cup games in between and it’s anticipated that the DGW’s will be confirmed just before the deadline. Sane’s price has already dropped so you shouldn’t lose much more value by holding on to him until closer to the deadline when all the aforementioned have happened and a clearer picture lays ahead.
De Bruyne replacement thoughts?
Eriksen. Son if you don't have him yet.
Yeah might go Eriksen, was considering Mane but that would leave me very dependent on Liverpool
Cheers
Wolves fecking me up.
How the feck can they lose to Newcastle?

They didn't though.
Boly giving me extra 9 points (goal plus bonus) sweetens it all up. 70 all out, not too bad.
Wolves are notorious wankers whenever I need a clean sheet.
Foster sitting on the bench with 10. Also lost 10 points on the Sterling > Mane transfer.
77 isn't a bad week but it feels like a missed opportunity to finally break into the top 1k.

88pts this week. Big Green arrow. Up to 35k OR.
Im benching Aguero this week and bringing in lacazette instead of Auba as i can't afford the latter. Lacazette has outscored Auba last 5 gameweeks they've both played together too.

Is this best opportunity to use the freehit?
I have 5 players that will be involved in the Man Utd vs Liverpool game and I have 11 players who will be playing this game week.
I have TAA, Mane, Firmino, Pogba and Rash

Save it for gw 31 or gw 33
Finally a big score! 86 points.
Key players include Lloris, Pogba, Salah (c), Aguero, Robertson, with Llorente and Son also contributing.
Next gw will be though, with City blank, Chelsea blank and United - Liverpool.
Transfer made: Luiz > Pereira
Chelsea are just shit atm and Leicester's fixtures look very good.

Why not wait until closer to the deadline to make the transfer? Next fixture isn't for another 10 days.
Argument with a friend in my mini league ended up with me wasting my free hit months ago, going to have a blast during the blanks now 
Everyone is in the same boat though. Most have loaded up on Utd n Liverpool. It won't be a high scoring gameweek I feel. Just need to get a team together and get the average and move on. If you can pick a differential up like Lacazette or Vardy then you could be fine.
I must be one of a very small minority who doesn't own Son going into gw27, which is slightly scary.
That said it'll probably be the best week for a differential captain.

Me neither, missed the boat and just can't get myself to bring him in now because I'm afraid he'll start normalising.
91 points. Super happy with that and moved up to second in the mini League, just 7 points from 1st.
Swapped Aguero and Pereyra to Auba and Anderson for this round, will get Aguero back later.

Who will be the stand out captaincy picks next gameweek?
I'm thinking one of: Lacazzette, Aubergine, Vardy or Son?

I think Son and Auba will lead the pack and I have neither. That said, Southampton & Burnley don't look like pushovers at the moment so they might not be as good as they look on paper.
I might punt on Anderson v Fulham or someone from our game v the scum. Mane is on fire and scored in the reverse fixture. I like the way we play under Ole but we'll be more open than we would under Mourinho. Fulham should've taken the lead against us last weekend. Pogba would be a good shout too. Anything good we do comes through him.
I should, I know, but wanted to avoid Chelsea players going down in value.
I sometimes do these gut-feeling transfers well and early, although I know I shouldn't, and most of the time I get it wrong if I analyze every stat out there and just overthink everything.
Exactly this. The home games that should be bankers, never are for them.
Docherty is even worse, he'll save his goals for the cups!
This. You leave yourself open to having do take a hit to repair any late injury damage, with the "Gain" often being a 0.1 increase.
Is 4 points worth 0.1 value? Probably not.
I guess occasionally there's such a massive bandwagon you need to be on, and you have the exact money, but some people tend to do their transfers early every week.
Finally caved in and brought in Salah before the gameweek. Then captained him instead of the usual suspects in Aguero/Pogba. Big mistake. If gameweek 27 was not a blank, Salah would have been binned.
Need a keeper for this week coming, as have Ederson and Speroni.
Thinking Foster of Watford looks a decent bet. Good form, and banks a mill or so.
Really need to get a big hitter up front, with Wilson (injured), Jiminez and Rashford my 3 at the moment.
Probably need to reduce one of Anderson and Richarlison down, plus reduce defence a bit, to get a Sterling or someone in the midfield.

These BGWs/DGWs are a complete mess this time. One GW is gonna suffer for sure.
such a mess.Dropped Wilson & Richalison for Rashford & Moutinho. Costs me 4 points but I think I am really strengthening the team. Moutinho has loads of goals/assists.
Sound good to you guys?
Sound good to you guys?
Moutinho is playing further up for Wolves these days so should be fine.
No idea who to make captain now though. Auba is due a haul?
He will play against Southampton, so should be a good bet on fetching points. I am going with Anderson though.
Otherwise, Son, but Burnley are no longer a walk over
Then there's Pogba or Rashford, to make the Scouse cry, don't want to jinx it though
I just made my change (Sane to Son), thinking I can field a full 11 now. Then I notice Digne isn't playing!
So should I take a -4 for TAA, who is hopefully unlikely to get a CS but could well get an assist, or not take a hit but have no chance of getting points there?
My bench is Puncheon, Martial, and Danilo because of the jiggery pokery for this gw.

Taking the hit will guarantee you Claw back 2 points most likely, it's worth it.
