@Ericali said in Odegaard or Oyarzabal:

I hold neither at the minute, but have held Oyarzabal in the past.

This is a no brainer.

Oyarzabal all the way. Cheaper, better player, more chance of a big move.

Case closed!

@Ericali sorry bud, you offer great advice around these part but you are so, so wrong in your assessment on this one. Cheaper yes, More chance of a big move, yes. Better player no, better FI hold, hell no! Have you watched Sociedad yet this season?

Edit: For full disclosure i hold both.

@Boris999 oh mate that is brutal. How are you adapting? Waiting patiently? tweak in strategy?

Barca real atletico sociedad

@AndydfopT Iv jumped on pretty late too mate (current average price of 1.87) but watching him live on sunday, i had to top up, hes now my biggest hold in terms of shares. If he puts together 2 consistent halves (he was quieter in the 2nd on sunday) his pb peak will be excellent.

If auoar can hit 275 peak pb without set pieces i really do believe the sky is the limit for odegaard. If he can hit a similar monster score, the sentimentality of the index towards young players is only going to see him head one way. In comparison to most of the youth on the index his value looks absolutely terrific.

And hes norweigan. If Zidane and ole are still at their respective clubs come seasons end it wouldnt shock me if United tried to get him as part of a Pogba deal. Hes exactly the sort of creative/set piece taking player united need badly, especially If Maddison looks unattainable or too pricey.

A little bit more expensive than 1-1.50 and maybe more a 10 month hold too is Martin Odegaard. Apart from the uncertainty when his loan ends and lack of european football this season i cannot see any downside. Hes playing for a side that look like they want to play on the front foot this season. Worth noting sociedad will have played 3 away games after tomorrow so they will have plenty of home games to play and i really fancy them to have a good season this year after watching them on sunday.

He looks like a pb gem with a base of 126.5 and an average overall of 166.5 from the first 2 away games. Hes 20. He Dribbles, creates, is on set pieces, rarely gives the ball away and scores goals. He appears to be playing most of the minutes so far (Januzaj and willian jose appear to be the attacking players getting hooked).

When compared to the likes of havertz, maddison, mount, felix, auoar, foden, mbappe, and bruno fernandes prices he looks like a snip despite his dramatic rise recently. Hes currently by far my favourite hold.

If Havertz is worth 4.09 i dont see why Odegaard wont be worth minimum 3.20-3.50 before christmas barring injury. If Felix is worth £4.68 with a pb base average of 60.5 so far this season and an overall average of 65.5, i dont have a clue how to value odegaard. Hes still criminally underpriced imo.

Market Sentiment is strong and the market is going to continue to shift towards him imo, hes a really special player.

@MickTurbo agreed on odegaard. He looked so bright in the first half today. Was a bit quieter when he moved out to the right in the second but he could have had a brace easily. His pb peak when he puts together 90 minutes will be massive. He passes, plays through balls, dribbles, rarely gives the ball away, is on corners, suits the pb matrix, looks like he will play 90 more often than not, and is young.

Also hes Norwegian as well. If ole and zidane see out the season i wouldnt be shocked to see madrid offer him up as a part of a pogba deal. Ticks so many boxes its ridiculous. I hope ur right with ur prediction mate, lets hope he brings home the bacon today. Verratti worries me tho.

ok then in light of that ill go

def: marquinhos

mid: Under (totally biased pick)

fwd: Kane

Looking forward to watching under, zaniolo, odegaard and oyarzabal today. Will anyone get close to Messi regarding star man though?

@Mr-Random-number said in Nothing to do with FI.....:

It’s unbelievable yeah right! united have strengthened in a couple of areas but are still only an above average team. Any united fans who think they will be top 4 will wake up to reality within the next few weeks, however their players will do ok on here though.

Is that how city fans reacted to their chances of winning the league after they lost at home to Palace last year? Palace also beat arsenal away from home last year, pushed liverpool in a 4-3 defeat and drew with us.

On another day we would have had another 2 penalties and cahill would have seen red. Had we put away the 2 pens over the last 2 games things would look very different. If DDG wasnt doing his best Joe Hart career decline impression things would look different too. Fine margins.

No utd fan i know has said anything concretely about finishing top 4, most of us knew results like that could happen this year and finishing outside it is a possibility. i think us chelsea and arsenal will all suffer results like that over the course of the season too. And if anyone genuinely believes that leicester centre half partnership is good enough to help them pip the other 3 then fair enough, i disagree, i believe thats weaker than our central midfield options and thats saying something.

Tough fixtures on the horizon granted, but the next 4 teams we play will have a go. With the lack of a creative midfielder i actually think we will find more success against teams who have a go at us this year. Mctominay and lingard are not the types of players you want in your side when trying to break down stubborn defences, but both players energy and industry are more effective when playing better, more progressive sides.
