If I was a Salah owner I'd give him 3 games more then make a decision. The potential benefits outweigh the costs Imo.

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.
If I was a Salah owner I'd give him 3 games more then make a decision. The potential benefits outweigh the costs Imo.
People dumping Mane is a strange one, considering they have a decent run of fixtures after the City game, including Huddersfield, Cardiff and Fulham in their next 5.
Yep don't really understand that one, they have a great record against City too so I'm not put off by that.
Thoughts on dropping D.Silva and Aguero > Sterling and Vardy? Aguero seems to be getting his minutes managed, desperate for the international break.
Sterling won't be a good idea especially for the next game.
No maybe not against Liverpool, but after that..
So I'm not getting on the Harry Kane train after all. But with 2 FTs and 1,4 in the bank, I've got to do something. So now the choice is one of Fraser -> Maddison or Shaw -> Trippier.
Or maybe even Ederson -> Patricio.

Guys this is related to my draft team. One of the guys has offered me Eriksen in exchange for Trippier. Is that a good deal for me? We'll have a fresh auction in Jan. So this is only till December.
I’d say no, Eriksen hasn’t started the season well at all and is currently injured anyway (what’s more in his absence Trippier will probably be on all the important set pieces). If it’s till December then I’d stick with Trippier.
Thanks bud. Will stick with Trippier!
Transfer done. Aguero -> Kane, with 1 FT to spare.
What we thinking about Lpool vs City? I have 2 of their defenders......
Only defender I wouldn't bench is Robertson, because of his potential offensive output.
I have Ederson myself, but of course I have Hamer on the bench, so I've got no other options.
Hope for attacking returns I guess. Although it wouldn't surprise me if one got a clean sheet. Just don't know which one.
Played my wildcard this week because I didn't know it was a break next week. Brought in:
Fabianski - Rui Patricio
Alonso - TAA - Laporte - Shaw - AWB
Maddison - Sterling - Hazard - Xhaka - Knockaert
Zaha - Kane - Dings
Decided to ditch Ederson to rotate then two which saved me 0.7m. Aguero out, Kane in. Salah and Eriksen out too. Will also get rid of Zaha when Palace's fixtures get heavy, probably for Mitrovic.
I'm personally not happy with Xhaka but he's the best under 5.5m midfielder who may occasionally get points option I could find. Gudmonssen for Burnley was the next best option.
Knockaert is another gamble. I would have downgraded defence for a better midfielder but I can't see any good ones between 6-7m

Still undecided on rolling my transfer this week. Spurs mids are tempting but maybe not for just a 1/2 week punt. Salah again unimpressive so might be better to stick with Mane.
If I hold I guess I've got the option of a mini wildcard over the international break where it might well come in handy. *talks himself into holding*

Hazard rising 0.7 for me in 4 weeks 
Thinking Hazard captain this week
Maddison's value is going to rise again tonight and Neves is going to drop. Might make the change tonight and decide on the other change over the international break.
Just swapped out Mane for Hazard and made him captain. At the very least it might jinx him.
Got in Kane just to captain him against Cardiff. So yeah he'll get a blank this week. Captaining Hazard is the way to go.
I can bring Sterling in in 3 weeks all going well. I've only got about 0.2 leeway though. If he scores a couple he'll surely blast through this.
I'm wondering whether to just take two hits now and bring him in on my ft after the weekend?

Are you keeping him or just bringing him in for that?
Brought him in for Aguero.
i've captained Pogba this week, not making any changes this week, going to take a hit of 4 or 8 points next week and make 3 or 4 changes
Why? The team and Pogba does not seem to want to win for ther manager.I have Pogba but thinking of benching him.If Mourinho does not go i will replace Pogba.
Is it likely Mendy is going to play on Sunday?
Newcastle are junk and I can see him having a big game 'to save jose's skin', just a gut feeling really
feck it. Knockaert in for Dilva. Nice to have someone playing in the Friday game and he's got great fixtures long term. I can now get Salah back in for Mane after the international break or KDB for someone if he looks ready to start.
Rolling the dice on Pedro > Lamela for the Cardiff game. Think they'll stick a few past them at home, without Eriksen and Alli.
Mendy or holebas?
Take a hit to switch aguero to kane when i plan to wildcard next week?
Or ride it out and hope kane doesn't go goal crazy?
Or an outside transfer.of aguero to say lukaku or someone? Risky!

I did Aguero to Kane and -4. Simply because there is a reasonable chance for a hat-trick and 3 bonus points - wheras Aguero will most likely not score more than maximum one, and bonus points, who knows? It also makes the captain choice easy this round. All in theory of course

It covers risk.
Sod it, Aguero to Kane, and Vestegaard down to a 4m chimpy defender.
-4, but have to cover the big risk of Kane.
Lukaku would be a huge risk the way we're playing, but if he does haul, i'll be pleased for United in real life!
Lukaku has scored more than one goal only two times for United up until now I think... so statistically it’s not something you want to do. Once against West Ham last season and then Burnley a couple of weeks ago.
Opening game last season wasn't it, as for the second season in a row I'd bought a shirt with our main striker who scored 2 in the first game!
Didn't make it a third year running with Alexis unfortunately!
It's done. The risk of not having Kane at all if he racks up a 30-40 pointer as captain, while Aguero/Hazard get a 4 pointer just isn't worth it.
Obvs it might go the other way, but it's deffo the smart money.
Can't see Kane score more than 1-2 goals this week, so not wasting a transfer yet.
Cardiff will be 11 men behind ball - Tottenham will be without Eriksen and Alli - Overall a good team, but the creativity will have to come from somewhere else. Max 3 goals in that game I think.
