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.
Yeah, very irritating. I’m thinking of keeping Auba and going Sterling over Aguero.
Same. He was +33 when I checked last night.
If I got Rashford in at 7.0m, I should probably keep him no?
If he goes down in price (as expected tonight), you will lose 0.1 in his selling price.
It's a really touch one to call. Money aside let's assume he's definitely missing Crystal Palace then he won't be playing in 3 of the next 7 gameweeks guaranteed.
It's also quite likely that he misses Southampton at the weekend with the ankle injury and also a vital game against PSG a few days after with Pogba definitely out. Then we're looking at missing 4 of 7 and one of them being Arsenal away. The other 2 games are Watford & Wolves in the DGW in 32 which I'm probably going to Free Hit anyway so for me it looks like a decent time to sell him. I got him at £7.4m though so I don't think I'll lose anything in transfer value when he'll easily hit my selling value (£7.6m) this week.
Actually now I've written all that it's not a tough decision at all.
Yeah, for people who got him in later, it's a much simpler, straighforward transfer. For people who got him early, they will struggle to get him back in again, if they sell.
Also, his injury fecks up my plans. Wanted to survive till GW31/GW33 without any hits but now I have no other option.
I think I have no choice neither and will do the same.
I have a fairly decent team in the next game, so could avoid subbing Rashford. But it seems unlikely he will even be ready for Soton at home next week. Considering PSG is 4 games away, and we also have Lukaku / Sanchez to take over. Ole's said his foot looked like a balloon after Henderson going through him from the first minute.
Who should I get in?
Current team:
Schmeichel
Chilwell - Wan B - Doherty - Arnold - Kolasinac
Sterling - Pogba - Jota - Maddison - Salah
Rashford - Kamara - Auba
I guess the Rashford sub candidates for me is:
Arnautovic - Good game this GW, but started out. Very much involved, but City away next game before a nice run of fixtures.
Rondon - Don't know if I can trust him though
Jimenez - Would only last for 2 good games. Already have Jota.
- Any others??
Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood (both play in the bgw's too).
I think Zaha will score well over the next few games too personally.
King after 2 GWs.
Bournemouth has single GWs only. Leicester in GW32 and Fulham in GW35.
Not even looked because it isn't relevant to my strategy. I want BGW players. If you want players who double then you might be better off keeping hold of Rashford tbh.
I think I might go with the same strategy.
Build up team for GW31, but also some players that could do in GW33.
BGW31: Use players I've built up (3 x Leicester, 3 x Liverpool, possibly 2 x Bournemouth, 1 x Burnley, 1 x West Ham, 1 x Chelsea) (Keep Sterling, Possibly Pogba)
DGW32: Free hit
BGW33 (BGW): Use players I've built up.. possibly with a sub or two to get the good City home-game against Cardiff (Already have Sterling here)
GW34: Use wildcard, get a good wide team. Decent bench to cope with rotation in DGW35.
DGW35: Bench boost with my wide team.
Triple captain used in maybe the last game of the season. My main competitor has already used his wildcard.
I am thinking of the same. It's Pogba vs Cardiff and we should still be in the hunt for Top 4.
Aguero in DGW32 is another possibility but I am planning to FH then.
Stick or twist with Auba?
Not enough for Aguero now, could go the Lacazette route, I suppose.

Really annoying, he has great fixtures and still top scoring striker. I think i'll keep him for Bournemouth game then decide, don't fancy him to get points in the spurs, united games and then he has a blank.
I had a shocking week. 25 points.
You should build up for gameweek 32 instead and FH gw 31.
Then double gw 32 play TC or bench boost. Gw 31 has lots of poor teams whereas gw 33 will be a little easier to have teams who play both gw 32 and 33.
And then WC gw 34 and then play whichever chip you haven’t used in regards to bench boost/triple captain in double gw 35
There ain't many though. For example United, City, Wolves are definitely missing GW33. If Brighton qualify, then Tottenham also misses out. Then it's on Watford or CPFC to decide which game with go through in GW33.
I guess that's my plan... although it really requires a bit of thinking and I'm quite busy lately, so it might turn out to be a nightmare!
I'll be building up for players that I really want for GW32, and will most likely play my TC then for one of my United players (or City). Free hit in 31 seems inevitable in this scenario indeed.
Then GW33, which seems to be a little less blank than 31, I hope to field a decent team.
WC GW34, BB DGW35. So to simply, order would be
1. Now build up for GW32 (United, City, Chelsea all lovely)
2. FH GW31
3. TC GW32
4. Survive GW33
5. WC GW34
6. BB GW35
anyone came up with some other possible solution that would optimize use of all three chips?
This is the most sound plan.
We know Arsenal, Bournemouth, Burnley, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Leicester, Huddersfield, West Ham & Southampton will definitely compete that week. We also know both United and Wolves 100% won't. The rest may or may not dependant on the cup results.
Fcuk sake looked at those stupid price predictor sites and kept Aguero out of the team and now he's gone up so I cant afford him without doing two transfers. I wont be using those again 
How many players would you even consider loading in your team with minimal hits?
Can't decide whether to bench Bednarek (H) v Fulham or Digne (A) v Cardiff. I guess Digne has more attacking upside but Everton are abysmal on set pieces which will play right into Cardiff's gameplan.
Will wait for pressers before deciding on Aguero or Salah as captain although Jimenez could be a good outside punt this week.

Just checked my result and quite surprised. Only able to field 9 players, got 44 points, and yet still got green arrow everywhere
Now have been thinking for dgw and bgw. Is it better to build for gw32 and free hit on gw31? Or build for gw31 and 33 and free hit on 32? I don't have triple captain anymore. And I think I will use WC and BB later

I'm just gonna follow this I think, unless someone posts some other ideas. Nice one!
Gonna aim to get De Gea in and a Chelsea defender I reckon, but obviously to make sure they don't go into a total tailspin first.
30 points and a -12 hit
Hmm.. You've made me curious: what players would be in your team for GW32?
Rashford replacement? Or keep? Have Aguero & Jiminez already
Very tough one. Exactly the same as me. Want Rashford for gw32 so hopefully only out until after next weekend at worst. Think I can weather that.
I also have Martial so double tough.
I am doing quite well tbh lately, but now that the end of the season is coming, I am wondering how I should approach these final weeks.
I really liked the idea of Red Star one, but I am that stupid that I have already spent the Free Hit. I still have all the other bonuses available, but I need to think how to play them..
Any thoughts?

When will it be confirmed whether City has a DGW32? So far only United officially has two games in GW32
Another reason I prefer to FH in 32. You can't be 100% sure what to build for until then. We already got a curve ball with the Wolves game being brought forward and not rescheduled to 35 like most thought.
So pissed
Took out Aguero for aubamashit. The former went up in price without playing and the latter dropping in price. I can't afford to get Aguero back.
Rashford gets injured.
Laporte gets injured.

Came here to ask this very question
If you indeed FH GW32 and if you have all chips in hand, how are you planning to play TC and BB? One of them surely GW35, what about the other though? GW32 seems perfect for TC to me (and I could put it on United player for the first time since the chips were introduced!)
I don't have triple captain. Used it on Sterling in GW25.
Wait, is this a better plan for us? I also don't have TC anymore. Fancy outlining it all like Red Star did? haha
Auba hasn't dropped in price, yet.
