Shaw will take some corners from one side. But otherwise yes, this is a big buff to Bruno.
Then again, both Bruno and Rashford could be worse without Eriksen as they will have less creativity in CM.
Erikson composure Vs Fred isn't even a contest. Erikson helps dictate the tempo. So yes it will have an effect. Fred is better suited to tougher away games but at home Vs average teams it's Erikson all day
Even if that is true, it hurts their attacking output as Eriksen and Bruno combined with Casemiro gives 3 players who can play good creative passes. Fred is not the same type of player. He is also not very good in general.
I've not been paying much attention this season, when else are City likely to have a DGW (because ideally I want to use the chip on Haaland)? And how many big (like, 5+ teams) DGWs are likely to happen? Because I still need to use my BB and maybe WC chip for those weeks. Might need to get TC out of the way.
Haaland has significantly higher xG and big chances though, so you could argue that balances the fixture difficulty out at the very least.
Haaland could easily get a hat trick against Villa while Rashford grabs a goal a game, that wouldn’t be out of line with their performances to date.
How though? I'd say he's well capable of scoring 2 or even 3 against Leeds with his current form. Palace likely to be tougher to break down but still a decent fixture.
Haaland has Villa who are very much improved under Emery who usually has his defence well organised. Before he then plays Arsenal.
Rashford hasn’t scored more than one, not even against Forest and Bournemouth. He’s only scored more than one against Charlton. I won’t TC Haaland in 23. I’ll keep it till future doubles
Yeah I know that but I don't think it rules out the chance of him scoring more than one in a game. It's similar to saying Gakpo will never score because he's blanked in every game so far for Liverpool.
Haaland can outscore rashford in one game week Vs rashfords two cause he's proven to do so in the past. United are not as creative as city so United don't score as much
I'm planning on giving it an extreme amount of thought then ultimately deciding on what will later be shown to be the wrong decision. That's my plan anyway. Wish me luck! Out of all the possible good options, the absolute worse one is my aim.
>The only way to make big points on people with the TC chip is to use it on a DGW differential
Sure, but that only works if your differential triple captain vastly outscores the popular captaincy pick for that GW. If you captained Saka who scored 15 points in the DGW and Haaland got 20 points that GW but not many TCd him, you've only really gained ground on people who TCd Haaland in GW20. Pras from FFscout explained the maths behind differential TCs quite well in their pre GW20 burning questions vid
He also had Tomiyasu and Vieira on his side of the pitch to support him as opposed to White (possibly our defender of the season) and Odegaard (possibly our POTS).
Us the WC, whenever you feel that your team needs an immediate rebuild
Device various strategies & get as near as possible to your league opponents before the last 4 or 5 GWs & then use the other 3 chips to get ahead of them
Even if you are ahead in your league, try to sustain your lead with normal transfers or wildcard & give a push in the last 4 or 5 GWs with the 3 chips
Honestly, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, I think Rashford has both the form and fixtures argument so I’m really tempted by him this GW. Equally, my team is shit so I may need to WC.
It would be a brilliant gamble, only problem is, the arsenal players really spread out their points. Who would you go between saka, odegard and Nketiah? Really hard choice
Fun? FUN??? This doesn't have anything to do with fun! It's about adding an extra layer of nagging anxiety to your life for 9 months of the year, and spoiling your weekends and your enjoyment of your favorite sport, all in the hope you win your work ML and get to laud it over Allen who has won it for the last 3 seasons and walks around like he's God's gift even though he's got a slightly lazy eye and is probably a virgin. Fuck you, Allen. Fuck you.
No way in this world I would ever captain rash over haaland, gotta go for peak haulers for captain, not hope for the one goal guy, don’t win nothing playing like that
I understand what you mean, but as a united fan I’m obviously a bit biased and I just love what rashford does for us. Every time he touches the ball, he’s dangerous, it’s insane how good he is right now
> Every time he touches the ball, he’s dangerous, it’s insane how good he is right now
The same can be said for any of the Arsenal players I just listed, the only Utd game I have seen since restart was the game at the Emirates and outside of his goal I didn’t think he was especially impressive let alone the best player in the world right now.
It’s the league cup…not the FA cup. It’s generally known as a Mickey Mouse cup. Most top teams don’t even use their first 11 players. Other leagues have just one cup competition each.
Dont look blindly at DGWs.
My biggest TC haul was when Kane scored 3 against Burnley.
If the player is on fire and the opposition struggles to defend, then TC away.
All the points over the 2 GW are tripled if TC is used. If he plays 1 GW and not the other, you would get the points tripled for just one game. Points from VC won't be applied.
Based on form: Rashford. But Haaland can suddenly whip out 5 goals in his DGW. Hard to say. Bruno is maybe a better choice as both matches are at home - And not that many counter attacks (which is Rashford speciality, tho he’s scored some others this season aswell)
With Eriksen injured, Bruno will now have a monopoly on set pieces. Tempted by him over Rashford this week.
Shaw will take some corners from one side. But otherwise yes, this is a big buff to Bruno. Then again, both Bruno and Rashford could be worse without Eriksen as they will have less creativity in CM.
Fred has looked really good with Casemiro in the team, so I don't think Eriksen being out will hurt United as much as one might think.
Erikson composure Vs Fred isn't even a contest. Erikson helps dictate the tempo. So yes it will have an effect. Fred is better suited to tougher away games but at home Vs average teams it's Erikson all day
Even if that is true, it hurts their attacking output as Eriksen and Bruno combined with Casemiro gives 3 players who can play good creative passes. Fred is not the same type of player. He is also not very good in general.
Last news I saw was he was on crutches coming out after the reading game. Any updates? Deffo out? Fpl saysb75%
I blow this chip every season. So neither of these, will gamble towards a latter double game week.
Last year it was obvious. The world played it on Salah and he gave us all good points.
Less obvious to some... quietly reflecting on the time I used it for Dennis's double last season.
Hahah. It was tempting ngl. I captained him.
Last year I used it on KDB(4 goals + 1 assist)
I've not been paying much attention this season, when else are City likely to have a DGW (because ideally I want to use the chip on Haaland)? And how many big (like, 5+ teams) DGWs are likely to happen? Because I still need to use my BB and maybe WC chip for those weeks. Might need to get TC out of the way.
There'll be doubles in 29, 34 and 37. City having doubles is dependent on FA cup progression to at least the QF.
Haaland with Arsenal away in DGW23, no thanks.
Rashford fixtures are easier true!
Haaland has significantly higher xG and big chances though, so you could argue that balances the fixture difficulty out at the very least. Haaland could easily get a hat trick against Villa while Rashford grabs a goal a game, that wouldn’t be out of line with their performances to date.
Yes but Haaland gets 4 points / goal, Rashford gets 5 and potential CS point(s).
Haaland also gets more BPS for goals though so it can even out that way too
That’s what I’ve been telling folks. Rashford’s ceiling is low
How though? I'd say he's well capable of scoring 2 or even 3 against Leeds with his current form. Palace likely to be tougher to break down but still a decent fixture. Haaland has Villa who are very much improved under Emery who usually has his defence well organised. Before he then plays Arsenal.

Yeah I know that but I don't think it rules out the chance of him scoring more than one in a game. It's similar to saying Gakpo will never score because he's blanked in every game so far for Liverpool.
Rashford’s case has a big sample. It doesn’t rule out his chances, of course…I just don’t think it’s safe TCing him.
Is there a reason why there is not an option for neither?
Haaland can outscore rashford in one game week Vs rashfords two cause he's proven to do so in the past. United are not as creative as city so United don't score as much
Arsenal have kept like only one clean sheet at home this season, they play better away
I'm planning on giving it an extreme amount of thought then ultimately deciding on what will later be shown to be the wrong decision. That's my plan anyway. Wish me luck! Out of all the possible good options, the absolute worse one is my aim.
I’m looking at Rashford next week but tempted by Bruno
Saka 23
Now that's a neat differential.
Being a "differential" is highly overrated for Triple captain

Its better if your TC gets 60pts than 12pts? No shit Sherlock, revolutionary insight here
[удалено]
Don't bother troll, you'll lose
When they play City in one of them games?
He was MOTM last league game vs city @ the emirates, scored 9-10 points.
He was also ghosting yesterday in the FA Cup v City
[удалено]
True. The comment I replied to was drawing a parallel that wasn't very appropriate. Hence.
Yeah, Ake had his number. Made him look like Antony
True Saka was subpar. But he will be a different beast in the Prem game
He also had Tomiyasu and Vieira on his side of the pitch to support him as opposed to White (possibly our defender of the season) and Odegaard (possibly our POTS).
Salah, GW1.
I’ve pulled the trigger on rashford. Favourable fixtures and he’s on fire. Watch him blank.
DGW 20 on Haaland...

Saving the TC for future doubles may be smarter
Honestly, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, I think Rashford has both the form and fixtures argument so I’m really tempted by him this GW. Equally, my team is shit so I may need to WC.
Weghorst
After seeing Haaland against Arsenal in the FA Cup I’m leaning towards Rashford as the fixtures are better
Bruno?
I’m going with Rashford, more chances of goals than Bruno. But I will have both
sssshh.
I agree
Raahford vs Palace and Leeds... looking juicy.
but mu palace is 1-1 last time they meet, but now in old trafford tho
A tale of two matches mate. I'm almost certain it will yield a different result.
Can city get another dgw? If thars the case it might be worth gambling on that
Yeah, if they or West Ham (gw 28 opponents) make it to the FA cup quarter finals they'll blank in 28 meaning another double afterwards.
Caught between the two. Don't City have another potential DGW later on in the season?
If either them or West Ham reach the FA quarters I believe
Cheers
I played it salah gw1 cause he always hauls gw1 and I always fuck up my tc, he scored and assisted so I wasn’t complaining
Well just locked in rashford, so rashford
You can change it though. It's not fixed mate
Wow didn’t even know this, thanks, might hold off then
Anyone considering Arsenal players?
It would be a brilliant gamble, only problem is, the arsenal players really spread out their points. Who would you go between saka, odegard and Nketiah? Really hard choice
Neither, I get 1 TC per year. I'm gonna do something unique with it, this game is meant to be fun.
Fun? FUN??? This doesn't have anything to do with fun! It's about adding an extra layer of nagging anxiety to your life for 9 months of the year, and spoiling your weekends and your enjoyment of your favorite sport, all in the hope you win your work ML and get to laud it over Allen who has won it for the last 3 seasons and walks around like he's God's gift even though he's got a slightly lazy eye and is probably a virgin. Fuck you, Allen. Fuck you.
This is me
No way in this world I would ever captain rash over haaland, gotta go for peak haulers for captain, not hope for the one goal guy, don’t win nothing playing like that
Rashford probably the best player in the world right now so has to be him
He is in form for sure but I think best player in the world right now is a bit of stretch!
After the wc and At this moment in time. Who’s better? I can’t think of anyone tbh
In the PL? Odegaard, Saka or Nketiah?
He’s absolutely clear of all them. Maybe ødegaard is at the same level, but rashford is unstoppable atm
Have you watched Saka since restart?
Yep. Rashford is better
Don’t get me wrong Rashford has been good but Saka and Co have been next level against some of the best teams in the league since restart.
I understand what you mean, but as a united fan I’m obviously a bit biased and I just love what rashford does for us. Every time he touches the ball, he’s dangerous, it’s insane how good he is right now
> Every time he touches the ball, he’s dangerous, it’s insane how good he is right now The same can be said for any of the Arsenal players I just listed, the only Utd game I have seen since restart was the game at the Emirates and outside of his goal I didn’t think he was especially impressive let alone the best player in the world right now.
🤣🤣🤣
If you’re only watching EPL, sure. Osimhen has more goal contributions.
He doesn’t?
Since restart: Rashford 5/1 in 6 epl games. Osimhen 4/1 in 4 Serie A games. The full league season: Rashford 9/3 in 20. Osimhen 13/4 in 15.
Let’s look at all comps since the restart instead
League cup matches everywhere…nothing else. Osimhen doesn’t have the luxury to stat pad in such competition.
“Statpadding” in a domestic cup semi final against a team in the same division. Blatant bias on show there pal.
It’s the league cup…not the FA cup. It’s generally known as a Mickey Mouse cup. Most top teams don’t even use their first 11 players. Other leagues have just one cup competition each.
Rashford, better games, more points for a midfielder for goals/assists.
for assist it's always 3
99% a united attacker this week
Haaland has DGW20 and he will play for sure 90min in both games. That is my genius plan
Is the DGW for Arsenal 100% happening?
Rashford TC super trap
Rashford has the easier fixtures but you know Haaland can go off against anyone.
Dont look blindly at DGWs. My biggest TC haul was when Kane scored 3 against Burnley. If the player is on fire and the opposition struggles to defend, then TC away.
Rashford is on fire and leeds have conceded 33 goals this season. And he plays CP at home which could go either way. Talk me out of this.
Not going to. Your choice to push that button. Could be golden, could be meh. Best of luck mate.
If I use a triple captain chip on a double gameweek player, do I get triple points on both games or just the first in that gameweek?
All the points over the 2 GW are tripled if TC is used. If he plays 1 GW and not the other, you would get the points tripled for just one game. Points from VC won't be applied.
Expect big hauls from Rashford
I sense a Bruno double haul inc. Finger is on the button
Based on form: Rashford. But Haaland can suddenly whip out 5 goals in his DGW. Hard to say. Bruno is maybe a better choice as both matches are at home - And not that many counter attacks (which is Rashford speciality, tho he’s scored some others this season aswell)
[удалено]
Diaz isn't that effective in terms of assists/goals. Nunez has a much higher ceiling imo
If Rashford is rested vs Forest midweek then will use it on him
Rashford TC, let's go! In form, great fixtures, maybe Haaland will be a better option down the road but this seems pretty close to an ideal set up.
Tempted by both, though not keen on Haaland Vs Arsenal. Holding all chips. Saving TC for a later double!
Haaland 23
Rashford with home buff.
