    further looking into this. There's a bit of a fixture congestion here and I'm not sure Rashford can start them all. He has played 85% of Man Utd's mins in 2023, playing every game. the only games he didn't start were an easy home cup game against Charlton, and the dead rubber 2nd leg in the other cup.


    GW 25: blank but has LC final

    midweek: FA Cup vs West Ham

    GW 26: Liverpool away

    midweek: Europa League vs Real Betis

    27: Southampton at home

    midweek: Europa League vs Real Betis

    28: probable blank but will have cup game instead


    Looking at these fixtures, the midweek game in the cup against West Ham would be the prime candidate, but he has started all FA Cup games, with the 2nd most likely being Southampton. There's a DGW that GW. Can both Weghorst & Rashford continue to play 90 in every other game while Martial is not available?

    Think I've settled on this FH team...

    Pickford

    Tark TAA Dawson

    Salah (c) Saka Odegaard Mahrez

    Haaland Darwin Nketiah

    Obviously at the mercy of Pep roulette with Mahrez but don't fancy an Everton/Wolves attacker. Hoping for a bullet header from Tark/Dawson or both 😅

    So I'm taking my 1st hit of the season. I've cut it down to 2 options:

    Option 1:

    Shaw Bruno Wilson & Kane --> TAA Salah Watkins & Darwin (for a -8)

    Option 2:

    Shaw Bruno Rashford & Wilson --> TAA Salah Andreas & Watkins (also for a -8 but I get to keep Kane here)

    Effectively, it boils down to Kane versus Darwin. I like the look of Kane's next 3 fixtures but Darwin has the double this week in addition to a greater likelihood of a game in BGW28.

    Never thought I'd say it but thinking of getting a second Everton defender for a -4

    Already have Tarkowski

    Looking to bring in Mykolenko or Coady for Shaw. They have 2 matches this week whereas Shaw has zero so you'd think it'll cover the hit at a minimum. Then get nfo/BRE/che instead of liv/SOU/blank (likely)

    in Dyche I trust

    Dawson surely a better pick to start over Bueno?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,893 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Yeah,Probably change it so, anybody else think haaland might be rested?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,624 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    I'd look into another option over Bueno, minute risk. I've him first sub after a scan over twitter and his mins recently.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,664 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    I think Man City need to win, so will have to go strong. Which is also affecting my thinking on Mahrez.

    They can rotate and rest when they play Bristol midweek.

    Anyone have any suggestions as to what to do with this team? Struggling this week to make a decision. Is Mitrovic definitely out?

    Did the same - Tark & Coady in for Patterson & Cash

    Not sure what I am thinking, and can see it backfiring!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,617 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Have taken a -12 hit. 🙃

    It will almost certainly see me eliminated from a couple of LMS leagues, but I think the team is set up better for the next 4 weeks now. We'll see.

    Last minute Mahrez to Bowen move on the free hit. Sarabia first sub after I read an article about him. Glad that tinkering is over!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭caviardreams




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,353 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Shame I didn't start him though! Ah well, nice to know the points are there anyway just in case.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,664 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Rashford drops to 7.2 which will make him easier to buy back again. Sold at 7.0. Just need a Mahrez start now, and Gakpo returns!
