So Poch won't land in Manchester until 3-4 days before the Liverpool game ๐
Only Man United would wait until an international break and then go after an international manager who isn't available straight away.
Shambles.

Michael Carrick is expected to be informed on Thursday that heโs been sacked as #MUFC manager. Nothing set in stone or confirmed yet but thatโs the expectation as things stand. Jason Wilcox, the United DofF, and CEO Omar Berrada are due to fly back from Monaco tonight. Seems likely they will then meet Carrick face to face at some point on Thursday. United have lined up Mauricio Pochettino to replace Carrick. Heโs still currently expected to take charge of the two US games v Haiti.
More on @TeleFootball shortly
Can I interest anyone in double double defence, and triple United attack on FH14?
Arguably could just go 5 at the back, triple on both defences and ditch 2 attackers ๐
Itโs also a joke that Carrick hasnโt been let go yet.
We all know itโs happening, Iโm sure he does too, and theyโre still dragging it out.
Just complete incompetence from INEOS.
Heโs taking training again today!
Wasnโt expecting to see Pochโs name come up a week ago.
Feels like another manager thatโs coming in about 10 years too late, but hopefully he can turn things around!
It canโt get any worse (no Mick GIFs please ๐ญ).
Glad we arenโt doing the whole interim thing again!
๐จ EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF
Particularly enjoyed this when James talked about getting Bruno in GW12, or on FH14.
And given heโs a spurs fan, no-one can use the bias argument like when I talk about him ๐
New #FPL ๐ฝ๏ธ now live!
I built a Free Hit team for every Gameweek between 11-16, and talked about why you might prefer certain weeks.
There's also a Gameweek 19 Free Hit, just in case you go for the "wing it" strategy and get stuck ๐

๐จ Manchester United intend to relieve Michael Carrick of duties. #MUFC say no final decision & nothing set in stone but work undertaken on replacements + multiple sources anticipate change before Liverpool. W/ @lauriewhitwell@AdamCrafton_@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/E1W3QbGYx1
@NUFC_forLife@Pras_fpl I'd argue there's 5-6 and the others aren't terrible.
Especially in a period where quite a few players will get reduced mins/rotated.
There are not many midfielders I love buying at the moment, but if any of mine become major issues, I do like Gibbs-White for Christmas.
Nailed, good enough underlying numbers, pens, great minutes over the busy festive period.
If you've come this far with him in your team he's probably just a good long term hold now.
Him vs Mbeumo vs Rogers is quite an interesting decision if you own none of them and want to spend that kind of money.
Mbeumo pretty good 12-15.
Rogers has Liverpool and City in 14+15 but pretty good fixtures outside of that, and Joao Pedro back might help a bit too.
I guess there's Barcola too at that price, but I'm not all that interested in him personally.
@BakerFPL343 Yeah for sure.
I just think 11 + 12 is most likely because if Konsa gets 11, Saliba will almost certainly get CL.
Feels weird to throw him straight in for City, but then again he is quite a good defender apparently.
Think there's a good chance Konsa starts vs NEW (A) in GW11.
Do think Arteta will want to get Saliba back playing as soon as possible but feels risky to rush him for Man City in GW12 when he's been out for so long.
And if Konsa has a good chance of starting in GW12, you surely keep him fresh and the partnership going with Gabriel in GW11 too.
Arsenal have Dortmund (h) in the CL between GW11 and GW12, starting to think that's where we will see the first Saliba start.
After GW12 it will become a bit more difficult to predict probably.
@FPL_MAF1A You have given me some food for thought to be honest, I'm happy to dodge Gabriel for now, but longer term it gets tougher as fixtures improve.
I shall take a look through the planner!
