Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Bournemouth

Just a few weeks ago, today’s opening fixture at Old Trafford would have been the main attraction, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic the sole focus of our attention.

But rivals City and Sergio Aguero now dominate Gameweek 27 – our thoughts already running ahead to Sunday’s encounter with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

For now, we need to concentrate on Saturday’s events with Ibrahimovic still capable of making a major impact on our weekend.

Again the most popular captain pick and surely skippered by the majority of those who have ignored Aguero, his owners will be willing the Swede to translate recent cup form – six goals in four outings – back to the league.

A goal and an assist in his last four Gameweeks is a modest return by Ibrahimovic’s standards but, in Bournemouth, he now faces an ideal opponent.

The Cherries arrive at without their captain Simon Francis, having failed to stem a relentless tide of goals. Without a clean sheet since Gameweek 19, Eddie Howe’s side have conceded 20 in the seven matches since.

The scene is set for Ibrahimovic to deliver a big return to kick-start Gameweek 27, as Fantasy Premier League managers begin the chase for a three-digit tally.

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

    I'll take an Aguero (tc) blank as long as Rondon gets me a goal 🙂

    Ibra ban ?

    1. Viper

      Yep more than likely

  5. Odikostar

    On a steady -1 (-8) atm. Could have done Ibra>Kun for free 🙂

    Mourinho should have taken out Ibra at half time imo. Clearly he wasn't in a very productive State of mind...

    1. Forza Papac

      I don't know a man on earth that would have the cajones to do that

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 25 days ago

        He needs some rest, he should have been sent off and the ref had his eye on him, wasn't playing well, against 10 players at home against Bournemouth.

        Poor decision from him

        But i get what you are saying 😉

    Sterling - > Coutinho/Firmino?

    Already have Mane

      Obviously, there's a long way to

    2. walkman666

      That is my plan, and I own Mane, too.

    Was King always on 32 bps? Valencia is on 31 and am hoping he can steal 2 baps.

    Felt quite smug when I saw my ML leader had swapped Ibra to Aguero and I had swapped Luk for Aguero......not feeling so smug now although grateful MCFC have a dgw as otherwise think I would have captained Zlatan!

      He and other Ibra sellers got lucky.

      Don't laugh too soon.

      It's not a great omen for the GW.

    If Aguero doesn't play at all over the 2 games, my Vice Triple Captain will be Ibra for a -3....
