Ashley does Dallas…
We’ve had indifferent game-week’s, we’ve had bad game-week’s and then we’ve had this game-week. A thought probably shared by a good many. We began with the faint hope of having a solid 11 plus a possible sub, and ended up with 9. A thought probably shared by a good many. We began with a seemingly solid captain choice, he came home with 4 points, we didn’t even answer the door. A thought probably shared by a good many.
We did manage to cobble together a hat-trick of sorts, we got a full set; a clean sheet, an assist and a goal. That’d be news if it was from one player, unfortunately it wasn’t, it was between the whole sorry lot of them. Well, the ones who actually bothered to play anyway.
We won’t bore you with the details of the other 6, their lack of contributions are evident on the pic below. In total we got 34 points, and a second consecutive red arrow which dumped us down to 34,980th. It’s not ideal but at the same time it’s hardly a crisis. With all the chips in hand we are still confident of a good finish.
Last week’s result…
Before we get going on this weeks decision we should remind you that;
THIS WEEKS DEADLINE IS; TUESDAY 18:45
This week’s transfer decision…
This week we had 1 FT and £2.7m in the bank, aka the Kun fund….
Some combo of Kun going for 120 minutes at the weekend, and Pep being known for rotation, and Auba getting a rest has actually led us to shelve the Kun plan for a bit. It’s not that we are completely risk averse but we do tend to favour playing the odds a bit. And it’s not as if Auba doesn’t have a very decent looking game in front of him.
As a result our attention turned elsewhere and ultimately to finally replacing Wilson. And ironically it won’t be with Rashford, which was always the intention if we could ever catch an opportunity to do so, having not been in a position to previously after an unfortunate overload on Man United assets. Some things are just never meant to be. Not wanting to use much of our bank, and with a firm eye on BGW’s 31 and 33 we narrowed down our choices to Rondon (Newcastle) and Barnes (Burnley). The brackets are important there as there was some internal confusion over the identity of the latter, which had us at some point buying Cliff Barnes (one for the teenagers), John Barnes and Harvey Barnes. And Cliff Richard, don’t ask….
We couldn’t really split them in all honesty, their fixtures are equally reasonable, as is the form of both them and their respective teams. Both have a game in 31 and both may have a game in 33. Rondon is the ‘may’ bit of that though as Newcastle’s involvement there depends on the FA Cup results. And so, scratching around for any small reason to pick one over the other, we decided to go with Barnes, almost on a technicality.
Our Captain is Salah, our Vice is Auba
This was a tough one and it went to the wire. We have two really strong candidates in Mo and Auba. Both got two votes each with the other being on the reverse vice side of each one. The deciding vote went with Salah, again with Auba as vice, it really was that close.
Our team in full…
And lastly, don’t forget that this weeks deadline;
DON’T FORGET THE DEADLINE IS ON TUESDAY 18:45

Guys am I good to go here?
Looks really good! Both auba and aguero!
Thanks Allan
Man U Presser Update from Ben:
Mata, Lingard, Herrera and Matic are all ruled out while Rashford is rated as a major doubt. No Martial (groin) either despite OGS optimism on Friday, can only assume a setback or the Frenchman hasn’t progressed as hoped. Rojo is set for a return to the matchday squad. #MUFC
A chance for Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku to shine with up-to eight senior squad members at risk of missing out tomorrow. Marcos Rojo will return to the 18. Hard to see Rashford recovering.
Matteo Darmian is back on the training pitches but OGS doesn’t think the full-back will be ready. Marcus Rashford is being assessed and a decision will be made depending on his response to treatment. “Muscle injuries are too early to think about. There’s quite a few out.”
If rashford is a ”major doubt”, then it dosen’t sounds like he should be out for too long…
Ole said he brought Lingard back too early and he now has a hammy. Evidently when Rashford came up the steps for the second half,the tv commentator said he winced on every one. He then got a real clattering from Milner I think. Ankles can take a few weeks to heal properly,so we wait and see.
I sold him!
What would you guys do here? 1 free transfer
Rash out Rondon in ?
ings to barnes oreilly?
Thanks, another great article! I made the same transfer and went with the same captain. Best of luck!
Afternoon all.
1FT, £0.2m ITB. Planning my team for GW31/33 with a FH in GW32, so any suggestions what to do about Bobby & Rashford? Vardy & Arnie/Barnes/Rondon?
Not sure on Arnie, no idea what’s going on there really. Any two of the other 3 are fine. It’d probably be Vardy + 1 for me.
Vardy & Rondon are probably the best combo for you.
Why Rondon over Barnes if I may ask?
2 home games in their next 3 + features in both 31 & 33.
If Palace beat Watford in FA Cup he blanks in GW33, whereas Barnes 100% features in both GW31 and GW33…
True.
But that’s a big if 😉 .
Yes it is, but with Barnes there’s zero if
I just thought why risk it when Barnes has a confirmed game in 33, otherwise the two are fairly similar, either one might score well between now and 33…
There is a slight chance that I’m favouring him over Barnes in order to justify his purchase last week lol
I see 😆
CHeers guys. Gone for Vardy & Barnes, which leaves some cash sloshing around for GWs 31 & 33.
Morning all,
Not sure what to do this week…. as usual.
Think I’ve narrowed it down to 2 possible options:
1 – Rashford to Lacca – Would mean I would cap Salah, which gives me x2 attack from both Arsenal and Pool – if that makes sense My only concern is that Lacca gets rested.
Or
2 – Rashford to Vardy – Means I can do Auba to Aguero next week. There is only 0.1 buffer for this so may have to do the Aguero transfer tonight after deadline.
Suggestions appreciated
Number 2 for me. Just means you’ll have to stick close to the price changes a bit and possibly make an early transfer but that shouldn’t really be an issue with the quick turnaround.
What’s your chip strategy heading into bgw/dgw?
Cheers Init. Hopefully Vardy has a Party
Mr. Go – My potential plan is:
WC30
FH31
TC32
Pray for some luck GW33
GW34 – use FTs to build for BB
BB35
GW36 – Gamble
GW37 – Gamble
GW38 – Gamble…
Then I’d agree with Init and go for Vardy.
