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 it feels weird rocking a team without Salah or Kane (had both all last season) but I'm thinking as long as I can carry 2 transfers as often as possible I can get either in without needing a hit.
Why are you ditching Salah though? Is already being productive without being at his best
Starting to think I should just get Mane in for Salah.
Tough fixtures probably. That's why I dropped him. I'm expecting Hazard to atleast get as many points as Salah in the next 4-5 fixtures.
Salah doubt kicking in it seems...
Mkhitaryan benched.
Mkhitaryan benched.
The way Pool play is perfectly suited for their attackers vs big teams. Sure, they may concede or lose but they'll score and he's lethal. Didn't he score vs every team last season bar us or something ridiculous like that?
How did Salah perform yesterday? no show or the point of attack as always?
Sold Salah last night for Hazard, and Pereira for Alonso.
Kinda regretting it I think. Mainly wanted Alonso but could have just got him in for Robertson (can't see many clean sheets for pool in the next run of games).
I've got 0.7 in the bank and not sure how I wanna use it. Tosun I wanna drop, probably for Wilson but that just gives me even more money.
If I was on wildcard I'd move to 3-5-2 and get Lucas Moura in for Tosun.

Yeah we were the only top 6 team that he didn't score against. It's a risk but I feel it's worth taking. Hazard gets more bonus points and is also on penalty duties. Sarri's style will help him score and assist more. Liverpool have tough midweek fixtures the whole of next month so I'm expecting some kind of rotation also.
Hazard is a must have under Sarri imo, I have him. Just think its someone else that could have been sacrificed. Just my 2p anyway, you know your squad best!
Not decided I'm definitely going that way yet but it was easier to take him out and get Hazard & Alonso in rather than take Mane out and lose any potential profit I might make on him before the next deadline. One of them will have to go though and I'd rather keep Salah but that extra £3.3m is so useful.
I had Lacazette but he kept being benched to swapped him for Mkhi. Now Mkhi is benched and Lacazette plays 
My squad was
Patricio / McCarthy
Robertson / Mendy / Davies / AWB / Peltier
Salah / Mane / Walcott / B Silva / Romeu
Aguero / Wilson / Mitrovic
It's currently
Patricio / McCarthy
Robertson / Mendy / Alonso / AWB / Bennett
Hazard / Mane / D Silva / Walcott / Fraser
Aguero / Wilson / Mitrovic
I haven't looked at the gk's I want yet for the next few months and the midfield needs sorting (Walcott will probably become bench fodder to free up another £2m+). I'm actually contemplating playing 4 at the back for a while and bringing in one of Bellerin/ Tripper.
I would love to have them both! But with all these expensive defenders, there was no way to fit them both in.
Yeah, sounds like a good idea. Get a proper quality in midfield too instead of walcott.
Tempting to do Zaha to Mitrovic but he's playing City and Ings has a far easier game against Brighton. I'd rather have Mitrovic after that though. Tough one.
It's also very very tempting to do Salah to Hazard and free up cash to improve midfield over the next few weeks (Walcott and Mhki to Eriksen and Richarlison back in maybe). Would mean a -4 now though.

Emery the absolute w*nker! Puts Mkhitaryan on in the 89th minute when I've got 12 points sat on my bench about to be subbed in!

poor form that.Was praying for that to happen because plenty have him and 5 guys above me in a mini league have him tooEmery the absolute w*nker! Puts Mkhitaryan on in the 89th minute when I've got 12 points sat on my bench about to be subbed in!
Must say, lost hope when they took the late lead but Emery FTW!
Richarlison should not go up in price after his suspension ends, right? Would trade Bernardo for him if so. That would give me extra £0.9m to put my bank ar £1.5m so I could upgrade Davies to Alonso and maybe get someone for Tosun (preferably I would do Tosun and Masuaku for a good midfielder and a shit striker and switch to 451).
I’ve made up my mind and will trade Tosun too. Need to get Alonso badly.

Waste on triple captain for Augero this week
Also had Ings ready to automatically come off the bench HAD Mikhi not been subbed on at 89 mins

Did anyone have faith and got Lukaku in this week?
Should have put DDG in goal over Pickford now. Thought Everton would win at home without conceding and United might concede away at Burnley. Typical I leave De Gea in when he has shipped in 5 goals last two games, looks on course for a clean sheet now. Need Deeney to score against Spurs.
How do u know if a players value is going up ?
Thanks
So whoever hits a 100 changes

Now we remember why Mhky didn't cut it at United!
Annoying for him to be benched against a team they'd score plenty against as it was.
Had Shaw on the bench, which made it an awkward experience every time he was crossing it! Had De Gea at least!

Always aim to do a triple cap in a double game week!
While there's always mad weeks, like that time Aguero scored 5 in a second half, it's much safer to do the double route.
Whoever hits 100 is likely to change. It isn't 100% accurate but it's the best predictor around.
Got it. Cheers. Gonna play my wild card this week... falling behind my friends
I was planning to use my free hit in a double gameweek.. not sure if that's smart but just thought the card was best saved for then!
Hart saved my GW despite letting in 2. Penalty save, save points and bonus.
Wildcarding over the international break to drop Salah, bring in Mane Hazard and Alonso. Got the big 3 DFs with Holebas and WB, Pedro, Hughes, Aguero Firmino and Jimenez.

Only 31 points this week.
Played my WC and changed my team to this:
Patricio
Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Cook
Mane, Pogba, Schurrle, Pedro
Mitrovic, Aguero, Kane
Ryan, Maddison, Schlupp, Lascelles

That's my current front three, and not 100% happy with it. Jiminez has scored 1 from 4 and im not sure he's the best of the cheapo strikers.
Firmino seems to get the least of the Liverpool attackers too, albeit an assist and goal last two games.
Still thinking it over though
Just done Salah out for Hazard. Felt like a bold move. Scary as FPL gets
Wanted him in before he no doubt goes up this week.
Means I can get Holebas in and bring in Firmino and Mitrovic alongside Aguero, with 0.3 leftover to get Zaha back or Arni if he goes tits up.

I think at 5.5 the best you can hope for is the odd return and regular starts, I think he'll lead the line for Wolves all season. Mitrovic has difficult fixtures and its too soon to bring him in. I'm tempted to take Firmino out but the downgrades arent really inspiring especially with Zaha injured. The amoubt of goals Pool score I think he's bound to score a few and get alot of assists.
Had 3 united players up until this week meh, so I got Alli this week to have 3 spurs players I think I’ll use the Wild card to bring in 3 liverpool and city players to see if my luck holds up
It's inevitable that upon taking Firmy out he'll start 10pointing it again! Sod's law.
Ings is a good cheapo striker. I've got him and he's done better than Zaha
