Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Manchester United

After Liverpool’s second-half collapse in a seven-goal thriller at the Vitality Stadium, we now make our way to Goodison Park as Everton entertain Manchester United in the 4pm kick-off.

With five goals in as many outings across all competitions, Zlatan Ibrahimovic carries the hopes of many Fantasy managers heading into this one.

Up against a defence with one clean sheet in nine, the Red Devils’ frontman was the second most captained player in Gameweek 14 with just over 13.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers handing him the armband.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Anthony Martial are rewarded with starts after both excelled in the midweek cup win against West Ham.

The Toffees recent downturn in form saw over 231,000 FPL managers part company with Romelu Lukaku last week alone – only Philippe Coutinho was subject to more transfers out ahead yesterday’s deadline.

Now down to 9.5 in price, the big Belgian has netted just once in the last five Gameweeks compared to six goals in his first seven appearances.

Nonetheless, with United managing just two shut-outs in the previous 10 league matches, Ronald Koeman’s side will be optimistic of getting back amongst the goals today.

    Everton deserve that due to the fact that United don't deserve to win

        As a United fan, Im really happy with this, Mourinho lost 2 points, no one else. I thought he made a great one to sub in Rash instead of Fellaini, but nooo... he had to put microphone in...

          This is all down to Mourinho this time. He can't complain about luck. We had Everton on the ropes and he decided to make us sit, then brings on Fellaini. Well done Mourinho.

            Mane only has three injuries recorded in his entire career: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/verletzungen/spieler/200512

            Only one of those kept him out for more than 8 days. Fit.
