In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) get the depressing job of reviewing United's 3-0 loss at Old Trafford to Liverpool. They discuss what went wrong, Casemiro's day to forget, and the pressure now on Erik Ten Hag. They also take some time to give McTominay a proper farewell, and give their overall thoughts on the Summer Transfer Window.
After various Haaland drafts, I really like my non-City team... probably daft but worth considering:
Flekken
Dalot, Saliba, Konsa
Palmer, Saka (c), Gordon, Bruno
Watkins, Isak (v), Toney
Subs: Sanchez, Andersen, Hudson-Odoi, Harwood-Bellis
Flekken
Dalot, Saliba, Konsa
Palmer, Saka (c), Gordon, Bruno
Watkins, Isak (v), Toney
Subs: Sanchez, Andersen, Hudson-Odoi, Harwood-Bellis
Yep, He's on the banned defenders list this season with James and Chilwell.
Very similar to mine, as it's so easy to fit in virtually everyone you want if you leave Salah and Haaland out. Niggling worry though is that Haaland has easy fixtures to start with, and has had the summer off.
Yup - I'll almost certainly end up opting for Haaland, but it's hard to end up with a rounded team with him, Palmer and Saka in it. They're kind of must haves.
This is what having Haaland does to my team. Much prefer it without him so I think I'm going to risk it.
Flekken
Martinez, Saliba, Konsa
Palmer, Odegaard, Gordon, Bailey
Haaland (c), Isak (v), Pedro
Subs: Turner, Davies, Burn, Mainoo
Just checking how much Smith-Rowe is in case he'd be a bargain at Fulham.
Still 5.5m which is a bit tight, bearing in mind he was that price last season and scored a mere 25 points!

My Haaland selection is currently:
Flekken
Dalot, Burn, Andersen
Palmer, Saka, Rashford, Hudson-Odoi, Gordon
Toney, Haaland
Subs: Ward, Cucurella, Pedro, Harwood-Bellis
Don't love the risks on Cucurella and Rashford, or not having either Toney or Watkins but also don't want to skip on Saka
Are you all just remembering your teams, how are you doing multiple drafts
As soon as I change anything I forget what I had in originallyPlaying around with different options. It's a quiet day
Screenshots sometimes help. Or I usually a list of 9-10 players that I won’t change. It’s only the last 4-5 I keep changing
Reiss Nelson at 5.0 won’t be a bad shout if he moves.
James played last night
Welcome back my sweet prince.
Similar to mine but mines better.
Quite like this draft if Jota is a season starter...
Pickford (Virgin)
Gvardiol Andersen Konsa (Robinson) (Harwood Bellend)
Jota Saka Ode Gordon (Wanks)
Haaland Isak Wood
Pickford (Virgin)
Gvardiol Andersen Konsa (Robinson) (Harwood Bellend)
Jota Saka Ode Gordon (Wanks)
Haaland Isak Wood
I don't know. When Arsenal brought him on it always seemed to suggest they'd run out of ideas.
And he'd score.
He's 24 and has scored 8 goals in England.
He makes Chelsea youthdem look like they've well utilised their younger days.
Screenshot them? (I don’t but know someone who does)
Pic or it didn't happen
Flekken (Sanchez)
Konsa Gvardiol Mykolenko (Faes Davies)
Elanga Bruno Odegaard Gordon (Lavia)
Isak (c) Watkins Haaland
0,5m in the bank. Doesn't look balanced at all. Any suggestions to improve this draft?

Yeah drop one of Watkins/Isak to upgrade the midfield.
Current draft. Feel like I'm slowly getting there:
Sanchez
Gvardiol, Mykolenko, VDV
Saka, Palmer, Eze, Garnacho
Haaland, Isak, João Pedro
Subs: Turner, Rogers, Andersen, Faes
I need to look into whether Rogers is a starter though... Does anyone here know?
Sanchez
Gvardiol, Mykolenko, VDV
Saka, Palmer, Eze, Garnacho
Haaland, Isak, João Pedro
Subs: Turner, Rogers, Andersen, Faes
I need to look into whether Rogers is a starter though... Does anyone here know?
He is A starter, but not nailed. He got into the squad because Ramsey was injured, but he will be back now and they also have potential to play McGinn/Tielemans further forward.
I think he is worth the gamble though, because there is every chance he wins that battle. They seem to think he is very special and well ahead of the timeline they had planned for him.
One of those that could cement his place and never look back and then we will all want him.
Is Pedro fit? (or will be?)

All aboard the Amad train.
If smith rowe or mctominay head to Fulham they could be decent shouts, in top form they both have goals in their lockers
He seems to be one of those twitter/x hype pre season hype players. Same with Nkunku. I'm not feeling it tbh.
When is the GW1 deadline?
Fourmium draft: (assuming Trippier goes)
The core:
Henderson
Burn-Livra-Henry/Robinson (rotating)
Salah-Palmer-Saka
Pedro-Haaland-Wood
Players from the bench rotating, taking the last spot based on form/if they start:
Amad-Rogers-Johnson(Ips)+4.0 goalie
Doesn’t look too shocking. Main concern is to miss out on Wilson or 2/3 from one in form team, but it’s not hard to get to any player in 2 moves really. A bit of cleaning up to do if the 5.0s dont play however.

Ideally I wanted Hudson-Odoi there but can't find the 0.5 needed to upgrade. Palmer to Son is an option though.
He's a great pick if he starts, but sounds like Emery wants Joao Felix in that position basically. But Diaby looks to be off to Saudi Arabia. Not feeling Nkunku neither. Coming back from a year long knee injury - new manager too, is he Enzo Maresca's type? (I have no clue)
Oddly enough I dont want Nkunku, but that's not my reasoning for wanting megadifferential Rico Henry (same, year-long injury)
The mind works in mysterious ways.6.30pm on the 16th of August.
Cheers. First draft 6pm on 16th, then. Smell ya later.
Because you've gone for a flexible 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 formation. If you commit to one you'll free up the funds.
Also seeing a lot of TAA love in these online drafts. I must be missing something again but since when has he been back on the table at that price?
He was £8m last year and missed chunks of the season. Liverpool have probably the best set of fixtures at the start and he is probably the only nailed player worth getting from them (unless you can get Salah).
If the scouse cnuts start strong, you will need coverage there. I don't have him myself but I can see the appeal.
Ideally you want one of Gakpo, Diaz or Nunez but it's impossible to guess which of these will play.
