    Ederson
    AWB Robertson Doherty
    Salah(c) Son Martial Anderson Ricky
    Auba Mitro

    Hamer Jiminez Digne Alonso

    Really unsure about benching those 3 but odds are at least two of them will sub in.

    Ederson
    Alonso - Robertson - Doherty - AWB
    Sterling - Hazard - Son - Pogba
    Auba - Ings

    Stek, Fraser, Kamara, Peltier

    Relatively happy with the team but can't settle on a captain.

    My City assets have not been doing it for me recently... Still can't bring myself to go double City attack or get rid of Sterling though...

    Transfer: Snodgrass > Pogba

    Start one of Alonso, Doherty or Bennett (Wolves).
    Head says do nothing stupid and go Alonso but heart says Doherty.
    Other defenders are Robertson and AWB.

    His attacking threat is nowhere near the other three. Having slightly better clean sheet odds than Alonso/Doherty doesn't make up for that imo.

    Begovic (still, somehow. Can't wait for WC!)
    Shaw Doherty Digne
    Salah (c) Anderson Richarlison Son
    Kane Rashford Auba

    Lots of rotation risk there, mostly Rashford but hoping he and Shaw can be nice differentials for me. -4 too.

    I’m one of the loons KM79 is talking about and have 3 United players including 2 defenders. But let me defend myself, I am quite obsessive about this game and am having an awful season. FFS has filled a gap as my beloved United sank into the abyss led by a manager playing puke football.
    Cue OGS and back to the good old days, he put a smile on my face. I could have a great gw or the way things are going this season it will probably be 1-0 to Huddersfield but either way I’m looking forward to watching United play today and I haven’t said that in years.
    All in on United:
    Fab
    Lindlehof, Shaw, Alonso,
    Hazard,Sterling,Richarlison,Sane
    Aubameyang,Rashford(c),Ings.
    Subs:
    Hamer,Snodgrass,Bennett,Balbueno.
    Happy Christmas.

    I try avoid United players to remove any bias. I would love nothing more to bring in Martial, Rashford and Lindelof and to then soak up all the enjoyment of a 5-0 rout today but that's just wish fulfillment.

    I do think I'll bring in Martial or Pogba tomorrow after one more day off fixtures to analyse today.

    Agreed about things like this. A playing bench could dig out a few people

    No big surprises in the Fulham and Wolves line up. Gibbs White and Traore start.
