๐Ÿ”’ GW10 ๐Ÿ”’ #FPL I literally hate benching Muharemovic here, but depth is a good thing ๐Ÿคท ๐Ÿงป Roll to 3 x FT in GW11. ๐Ÿงข Haaland. ๐Ÿ“ˆ 1.08 million OV Rank.

Overreaction SZN will be in full swing tonight on the #lufc hashtag ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm off for some bonfire toffee & a beer. On another day, we get something there - variance killed us. Oh, and Bournemouth are a good team ๐Ÿคท Happy Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ ๐Ÿ‘ป

Obviously a bad error from Trafford - though generally speaking, we were pretty decent there. And unlucky too. If the DCL one stands, things are likely different right now. Elvedi has been excellent. Wilson sharper too. Stick around early second half; right subs at the right time = ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› #lufc

So with Okafor out, and Stach not ready to start, it's likely James on the left (though maybe Wilson goes higher on the left, and James goes onto the right ๐Ÿคท doubt it). I do think we lose something defensively here without Stach, but let's hope it works today. Good to have the back five fit #lufc ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

I reckon #mufc will get a result today. My model told me to bet on them at 13/5. I did. Not confidently. But the lineup looks back to something resembling sensible, and I feel like they'll react today. Call me insane. PS. Hope they get battered ๐Ÿ˜‚

2 x early transfers this week: ๐Ÿ”€ Justin out, Muha in ๐Ÿ”€ Pedro out, Jackson in ๐Ÿงข Haaland ๐Ÿช‘ Cala - feel like he could be benched or have limited mins ๐Ÿช‘ Gross/MDC - feel like they concede so MDC sensible. Gross could return but Villa blue & MGW feel more likely. ๐Ÿ†“ 2 x FT next week - eyes on Rayan

So, Carrick makes a stand - drops petulant & outspoken captain. #mufc board chat about Carrick replacements, decide they're unavailable or too expensive (for now) - so Bruno aware Carrick under pressure. Board likely wants Bruno back in team after 0-3 loss. Bruno wins. Carrick undermined. Got it?

Fabrizio Romano (MIRROR)@fabrizioromano.yopro20.com ยท last wk.

๐Ÿšจ Michael Carrick and captain Bruno Fernandes have met face-to-face to clear the air after Portuguese star was benched for 90 minutes against Bournemouth. Bruno, now expected to feature against Chelsea on Saturday.

I feel like Jackson has seven really good GWs & then you'd want to move him on - plus I already own Manzambi. At 0.9m cheaper, Kostoulas is a potential season keeper - also not on pens but has a nice fixture run that goes beyond seven GWs ๐Ÿคท I feel like risking no Jackson is fine here โ‰๏ธ

Justin to Muha - already done โœ… 2 x FT remain. I'm tempted to do Calafiori & Pedro to Gabriel & Kostoulas. I'd bench Kostoulas this week. Thoughts welcomed. The other option is to simply do Pedro to Evanilson/Jackson ๐Ÿคท or I could roll, but I'd lose 0.1 on Pedro tonight, and miss any other rises.

Loosely translated: "We are working on a contract with Eddie Howe but it isn't finalised yet" - he is being given time to allow them time to sort a replacement. When Howe turns it down because he sees the writing on the wall, they will need a few weeks to sort their next Rangnick ๐Ÿคท #mufc

๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: Michael Carrick set to be given time to turn things in around. Expected to be in charge for Chelsea. Training is taking place as usual. #MUFC now looking for a response at Stamford Bridge.

I know people don't like "maths" but I have a spreadsheet that amalgamates & weights last season's xG totals, alongside this season's current xG totals & other offensive/defensive data, that then assessed probabilities against bookies' odds. ๐Ÿ‘‰ #lufc are very decent. Now you can all go to bed ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

I'm hearing people mention relegation battles. The hysterics are absolutely insane. If you fancy that, you can 28/1 at William Hill. #lufc are 12th favourites for relegation this year. Largely because all underlying data shows that we are really pretty decent, and almost certainly finish 7th-14th ๐Ÿคท

It is crying out for Okafor. And if he ain't fit, get Bahoya on. Mukiele looks half asleep & you can get at O'Nien. Lacking enough pace to truly worry them so far. Bogle has been good & Muharemovic passing is breaking the lines. Okafor + Stach would allow intenser pressing & turnovers. #lufc ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

0.93 xGI for MGW last night. #nffc could have scored four goals. I know that it feels like a trend but honestly, I think the luck will turn. They're playing well. And I've simply no intention of a sideways #FPL move to Tavernier or even Mbuemo (w/ tough fixtures) ๐Ÿคท MGW on pens; doing good work โœ…

๐Ÿ”€ Odegaard to Manzambi ๐Ÿ”€ Gonzalo to DCL ๐Ÿ”€ Kinsky to Raya ๐Ÿงข Haaland. The first two were early in the week, catching rises. Maybe mistakes. But allowed for Raya. Cest la vie. And I do want them from GW9 onwards (if fit). Actually reckon DCL plays. โšฝ 3 x FT in GW9; hope to roll. ๐ŸคžGood luck! #fpl

Is it crazy to consider MGW as captain? If he definitely starts tonight, that's not a bad shout, surely? One goal involvement & he's often on max bonus - and I really do think Forest's underlying numbers suggest they're quite strong (especially away from home) ๐Ÿคท #FPL

"Different with a muscle injury like Noah, have to be more careful. Would be just guessing if I said now" - sounds like Okafor is probably out, and I'd fire up the Wilson train now. Is this his chance to play higher up, closer to DCL? ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› #lufc - he could also use Aaronson, of course ๐Ÿคท

"Improved over the last days but not involved in team training yet. If game was today or tomorrow there would be no chance but we have time. An important player, not a muscle injury, just painful. As long as he can handle pain everything would be okay. Same with Anton" - I reckon both play ๐Ÿคท #lufc

I actually think that he's probably part of their issue as a club. He is brilliant in moments, of course. But he sets the culture. Players look up to him there & what he does, from the front, is set a culture of moaning & excuse-making. Contrast that with the culture set by Ampadu ๐Ÿคท #lufc #mufc ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Bruno Fernandes is embarrassing, by the way. Sometimes, you'll watch a player & think "yeh, he's annoying, but I'd like him if he played for my club". Despite all his quality, I can honestly say Bruno isn't one of those. Moaning, lobbying, whining, incessant bullshit. Embarrassing. #lufc #mufc

It'll be a very tough, competitive game. I'm hopeful that Farke has a calm route planned to control things. Aggressive, but sensible. Fire in the heart but calm in the head. But I'm under no illusions - they have some very good players & they must be highly motivated today, surely. #lufc ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› #mufc

Come on Leeds. Let's fucking get at this lot. Tanaka to control that tempo. Ampadu & Stach to physically overpower them. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› Just arrived at Elland Road ๐Ÿ‘Š #lufc #MOT

Never really go early but I've sold Odegaard for Manzambi. Probably benching him next week but i want him for GW9 & beyond - plus it saves me ยฃ0.8m budget. I'll decide whether to move Gonzalo to DCL or Thiago later in the week ๐Ÿคท #fpl
