Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Man United

Gameweek 2 begins in south Wales, with Swansea City hosting early league leaders Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho’s side claim that position following Sunday’s 4-0 demolition of West Ham United – their biggest opening weekend victory since 2006 (5-1 vs Fulham).

In contrast, Swansea will play host having battled to a 0-0 stalemate at Southampton; a game which saw them muster just four shots on goal to the Saints’ 29.

However, Paul Clement’s side are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches – winning four and drawing two – and are on the verge of a club record if they can possibly avoid defeat today.

Goals may be hard to come by for the home side who are without the departed Gylfi Sigurdsson and last season’s leading scorer, Fernando Llorente. That pair contributed 53% of Swansea’s goals last season.

United will look to Romelu Lukaku for their goals.

Backed by his growing Fantasy ownership – which now accounts for 53.5% of FPL managers – the Belgian will look to build on last weekend’s brace against the Hammers.

However, his record against Swansea is far from convincing. He has claimed just three goals in 11 appearances against the Welshmen and has failed to score against them in his last six outings.

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

    Maybe this FPL crashing is good thing. If it stays crashed, Pogba won't rise tonight.

    The price rises are going to be crazy - probably will make more money from this coming GW than over the International Break. Anyone tempted by very early wildcard?

    Mkhi Jones lukaku c you beauties

    Pogba looks great

    But trust me

    Martial will be the bargain of the season. Two weeks before he's nailed.

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Just saw that Salah is benched and TAA not even in the squad, sigh, sickening eyes.

    1. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You didn't think TAA would play surely

    My 'wise' words before the game
    'Allrighty then, who tricked us to buy 8m player that plays in double pivot?'
    I should always try to anti jinx players like that

    Kolasinac > United defender or Triple up on Unied attack?

    1. Dokdok666
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      If I had the option, I would go for the attack

    2. Denzilirious
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      i know it may sound crazy now but united wont be scoring loads every week but could guarantee clean sheets with their defense first approach

    1. Waxys
      • 7 Years

    1. ☆Khaz
      • 8 Years

    Are you getting Pogba or Miki?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Micky looks good but is he a rotation risk

      I'd prefer Micky but pogba is going to rise like crazy

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      There is a lot of stupidity about

      Mane is a far superior player

  21. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Surely Pogba wont rise tonight? Im ever so tempted to dump salah for Pogba? I'd have to take a 4 point hit as i have 2 united defenders 🙁

    1. Ribus
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He will

    2. Turbolag
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He'll definitely rise tonight.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      will defo rise tonight, if the game ever decides to go live

    4. Waxys
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He's already rose it's why it's updating

  22. Syd.

  24. Waxys

  25. F4L

    How do we rate United's next 5 fixtures? Seem more difficult than people are making out to be

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hard enough to make me pause

      | still don't think Utd have been impressive, more that Wham and Swans have been very accommodating

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        This!!!!

    2. DAZZ

  26. RLukaku

    Pogba and Mkhitarian double up mad or good?

    1. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes if you have Lukaku.
      2 players from any team are maximum, for me...
