General chat 22/23

Wasn’t he on set pieces. I think he could be worth a shout to start.

My point was more in relation to him having a good chance of starting rather than a cameo appearance as there were players far worse than him.

Villa were poor overall and Bailey to me looked at least the most likely to make something happen, hence why he was left on IMO whilst others were taken off. I'd be willing to take a punt on him at home to Everton.

I had Pereira in starting 11 last week and don't see any reason not to - he's on all the set pieces and plays in an attacking role - If he's taking most corners - he's likely to get an assist, and with free kicks could get a goal or two. He's also likely to start games, unlike Bailey who has competition for places.

I presume you mean Andreas?

I hear ya but tbf he appears to be (albeit only 1 game to go on) centrally involved in most of the attacking moves in what looks a well drilled side - on frees & corners aswell. He was always a bit part player at Utd and played second fiddle in attack with the likes of Pogba, Fernandes etc hoovering up that space. I will be starting him in GW2, just my 2 cents and thankfully Im not a utd fan 😀

I watched the game on Saturday against Liverpool and he was very lively and on all set pieces - with a target man of Mitrovic, I believe that he'll do well. Sure I might be wrong, but those saying Bailey are basing it on pre season games where the opposition isn't as strong. Time will tell.

He definitely could and I've brought him in this week, I'm just pointing out that he has yet to do anything

@Ace2007 no offence but you're up there with the most biased United supporters here, you have Dalot, Lingard and Pereira in your team, I was very surprised Rashford wasn't in it

Never heard of him, wonder will he go straight in the team?

what's with the personal attack? Lingard had an amazing season when he played with West Ham and a lot of posters in here had him - so I've taken a punt that he'll have a good start to the season and at 6m is worth it. Pereira is 4.5m attacking player who is going to start - if you don't want him that's fine, but i don't have him in my team because he used to play for United. As for Dalot he had a good pre season and is cheap as chips.

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder when people give an opinion on something that is different to yours - you told another poster that he should post his rank before giving advice - which is out of line imo and something that this forum has tried not to have in years gone by which is why it worked so well.

I haven't told anyone to get Lingard to Dalot - so why does it matter who i have in my team? I mention Pereira and gave my reasons but you attack me?

This is a discussion board, if I disagree with something I'll say it out, isn't that the point?

As for the rank history I jokingly asked a lad if he was worth listening to, a large step from asking someone to give their rank before posting advice. Perhaps I'm not the one with the chip?

I'd barely consider myself a Liverpool fan, if it wasn't for FPL I wouldn't follow soccer at all

I'd argue that theres been an influx of soccer fans here that let their team allegiances get in the way of who they pick, united and Liverpool fans the worst. You're here a good while so I didn't need to check your team to know you have a biased view.

Again, hardly a personal attack, a statement of fact, biased views get in the way of good FPL and you have the blinkers on when it comes to United

On your last point, I'm a huge advocate of knowing posters ranks, there was a thread here about 4/5 years ago on just that and the board was split on whether previous ranks should be taken into account with opinions. I always thought they should, in fact I kept a note for a long time of the top posters from boards because I valued their opinion more

The only interaction I've had with you was about being biased towards United AFAIK?

Stands that you wouldn't like my theory on it

Edit: feel free to throw up an example of me being dismissive and it not involving united?

Or maybe accept that if I say I think Dalot is sh!t it's because United kept 8 clean sheets last year and they cant defend rather than it being a personal attack on United supporters?

Weird being able to remember last week?

Fair enough

I'll leave ye to it lads, I'm sure yer United bias will lead to two great seasons and better luck to ye.

Is there a new chip this season? The chip on the shoulder chip. My plan is to bench boost in DGW 32, free hit in 33, WC in 34 and then when it all goes pear shaped and I'm disgruntled enough I'm gonna play the chip on the shoulder chip in GW 35 or 36.

Is it stupid not to have Haaland ?
