Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Leicester City

Gameweek 6 begins at Old Trafford where the Wayne Rooney circus is in full swing.

The United skipper is dropped to the bench by Jose Mourinho, causing a big stir that dominates the pre-match build-up.

When the dust settles, we can see a total of four changes in the United line-up, as Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard are drafted in. Antony Martial and Luke Shaw miss out through injury, while Marouane Fellaini drops to the bench.

The big news for Fantasy managers is the continued emergence of Marcus Rashford, who is surely boosted by the decision to drop Rooney.

As for Leicester City, they are unchanged as Kasper Schmeichel remains sidelined amidst reports that he is now set to be absent for three weeks with his groin injury.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Ibra non-owners got pretty lucky there.

      Luck? It's clear the guy will score some goals, but he's far too expensive for an aging midfielder who assists assists.

      Much better value elsewhere, even in the same team.

      First time I checked score was 3-0 already... Imagine my surprise when I saw no Ibra involved...

      They got very lucky. It's so frustrating to have Captained him, made the absolutely correct decision seeing the scoreline, and get absolutely nothing from it (not even a Mike Dean pen). They score 4 and he gets nothing. Last week Palace score 4 and Tekkers gets nothing. Fantasy life.

        Exactly - the outcome doesn't mean you made a bad decision. He played well and could have easily come away with good points.

        Similar, more grooming (eyebrows) than features. Except teeth, they have the same shape teeth.

      2. Worzel Gummidge
          7 years, 6 months ago

          But you bet Bubz £100 he would be dropped immediately and we said he wouldn't be dropped immediately so you are just confirming you got it wrong. Not sure what the point is you are trying to make. Bit embarrassing really.

          1. Shano23
            • 7 Years

            incorrect sir but but it ok. Never easy to admit your wrong in life. Lets move on

                  they both said Jaku was undropable . I gave them 6 to 1 for the season and 3 to 1 for the next game. they both declined. I told them to pick Pickford they both followed. Not sure how i lied but ok. Lets move on

                  1. Worzel Gummidge
                      7 years, 6 months ago

                      Lying again. Hilarious. I never said he was undroppable and Bubz said he would start next game which he did (I agreed). No one said he was undroppable. Stop lying. You do realise people can read your old comments. I have. Confirmed. You are lying. LOL. It is ok Sir. It is ok being wrong. Keep this up and I will simply post them!!!

              I said he'd end up being dropped. Just not straight away. So I'm right again. Get on my level son.

            Once you hear "hamstring injury" as "hamstering injury", with all the attendant imagery, you can never go back.

            Just came back home

            No Lovren? Why?
            No Baines? Why?

            May end up with 10 players if Holebas doesn't play. 'Great' result for a WC team 😐

            Sh*t no Baines or Lovren.

            Over to 1st and 2nd subs Snoddy and Amat then

            • 8 Years

            Baines, Grabban > Amat, Rashford (-4) ?

            Already have Zlatan, and an overpowered defence. Will probably downgrade Zlatan after Stoke if he doesn't look great.

              • 8 Years

              That would give me (next GW):
              Foster (sun)
              McAuley (sun) - Bellerin (bur) - Valencia (STK)
              Ozil (bur) - Bolasie (CRY) - Antonio (MID) - Pereyra (BOU)
              Aguero (tot) - Ibra (STK) - Rashford (STK)

            Hi there, Is anyone else having trouble viewing man city players on the my team or points page on the fpl site while using chrome? It's really weird, just the name is displayed no shirt.

            Rashford looks to be rising tonight. Might need to make my transfer early this week!

            Gray > Rashford

            Hazard + Ibrahimovic + Fletcher --->
            Sanchez + Rashford + Firminio (-8)

              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              I'd wait. -8 is a big points hit. And look at Haz and Ibra's next two.

            Pondering replacing Shaw before he dips to 5.4, which is annoying because Friend looks like going to 4.4 as well.

            Who would people recommend around the 5.0 mark?
