chappy Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Was up to 94k after the Leeds game, highest I’ve been in recent memory! Had a poor day yesterday though (Sá in goal got the day off to a bad start) and have managed to salvage 61 with Ronaldo, Benrahma and Christensen today. 146k now which I’m very happy with for the moment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'd like to think that we'll all be clambering to get Leon Bailey into our teams soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 20, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 20, 2021 Genuinely thinking the Mike Dean show makes Ronaldo a better captaincy option this week. You know he'll want to rim Christy so he'll go along with all the diving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2021 Yeah this game against us was the main reason I wanted Ronaldo. Didn't go for it in the end but will make this game even harder to watch when he inevitably scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 21, 2021 A Man Utd mate of mine says United hardly get penalties since Klopp pointed out back in February the amount of penalties United were getting at the time. The stats do bear that out, but I tried to bet him they'll get a penalty this weekend. He didn't take the bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I'll certainly be captaining Ronaldo, worked with Lukaku. It does seem the big gun players always seem to have a field day against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you were trying to do there, but I don't think we had any part in this For what it's worth, I've had a shocking start to my season, so might as well give Ronaldo the kiss of death aka my armband, which just means Bruno will hit us for four instead.

BOF Posted September 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 21, 2021 As week 7 gets closer I'm looking at the possibility of maybe not using the WC for it. I think if I do use it I'm more likely to go at week 8 now instead. Apart from the fact it gives me the international break, it brings Man City's fixtures (BUR bri CRY) into play, and to a lesser extent Villa (WOL ars WES sou BRI cry) and Southampton (LEE BUR wat AST nor) too. I can cover Chelsea's week 7 with a double FT. But the closer I get to swapping Ronaldo for Lukaku, the more nervous I am about the switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in to save my wildcard and use my FTs plus one -4 to prepare my team for the GW7 swing. But the DCL injury and Antonio suspension etc hampered that. Pulled the trigger last week instead. had 5 or 6 transfers I really wanted to make so went for it. And if I'd got rid of that fat word removed Shaw for Rudiger like I was planning to and didn't decide to keep Shaw at the last minute it would have been worth it!

Always throws up the odd injury but I'm curious how many players are going to travel and if a lot will stay at their clubs or not. I usually try to plan several weeks ahead but this season just seems more crazy than usual with injuries or new transfers and I'm struggling not to rip up my plans.

Rds1983 Posted September 24, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2021 All the Leeds injuries have gutted my team and I've only just brought Bamford and Raphinha in. Not going to be a good week for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
