Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Man United

3,022 Comments
Share

Saturday’s events conclude at the bet365 as Manchester United bid to reclaim the Premier League top spot with a victory at Stoke City.

Jose Mourinho’s side are awash with major Fantasy talent as Romelu Lukuku heads into the match as the top captain pick for a fourth successive Gameweek.

Over 179,000 (37%) back the Belgian with the armband who is under pressure to deliver after goals from the next three most popular picks – Harry Kane, Alexandre Lacazette and Alvaro Morata – earlier in the day.

Paul Pogba also boasts a swell of support. Owned by 1.8 million (37.5%), he wears the armband for over 203,000 managers this evening.

Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan goes into the game as the most signed midfielder ahead of Gameweek 4, having claimed another 236,000 owners.

With Ander Herrera recalled to the Man Utd starting XI, it could be that Pogba is shifted up behind Lukaku this evening, with Mkhitaryan starting wide on the right.

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

    Anyone dare to think Morata could be a better option than Kane over the next few weeks as Chelsea only have FC Grotbags in the CL?

      Kane won't be rotated as he has decent fitness unlike Morata who is used to bench cameos

    How nailed is Davies. Rose has meant to be returning the last year or so and Davies has been irresistible for Spurs. Is he safe until gw7?

      Tottenham is the most guaranteed team in the league to rotate fullbacks.

      Rose was supposed to be back 5 months ago. Nobody knows when he'll play again.

      Second option leaves me with only 3 playing defenders but I'll be wildcarding in the next couple of weeks anyway.

              Any Chelsea fans/people who've watched the Chelsea games? How good does Morata looks? He seems like he could be an excellent pick imo but I haven't watched him much. Amazing stats at Juve/Madrid, adapted well to PL, Chelsea focal point ... looks great value at 10.1. Would bring him in in an instant if I could have 4 strikers (don't know who to shed from Firmino, Kane, Kaku).

              Is he as good as he seems or is it just hype? Haven't had a chance to watch him really this season so would love to get the perspective of someone who has.

                He is pretty good and Chelsea are improving too but still a little sloppy. Once Hazard and Willian both were on the field, chelsea looked so much better only for the final pass to let them down.

                Once Morata & Bokayako start to gel well with the rest you can expect a lot of goals.

              Salah Mhiki Pogba Carroll RLC

              Kane Lukaku JRod

              JRod is of course a problem, I can't see an easy way out though tbh, 2 free transfers and 0.8ITB

              Thanks all

                I'd downgrade Yoshida to 4.0 and upgrade JRod. Having to play one of Carroll/RLC isn't brilliant either, unless they prove me wrong tomorrow.

                Do you still have your WC? I'm considering Yoshida to Daniels short term until I use my WC. Might as well keep JRod for next week as they have West Ham home.

                Then you could downgrade Monreal/Alonso/Mkhi/Salah to upgrade JRod for Chica/Firmino for example

              But a sensible piece of info like Rose fitness and it gets asked twice a second no matter how many times you repeat he isnt even training yet after 9 months out. Bavies is good for another month minimum

                  With Walker & Mendy, I was really confused as to why people went with Danilo. He was always going to be a back up for those two

                How do I fit Davies into my team?

                Foster / Elliot
                Long / Bertrand / Kolasinac / Mee / Dann
                Carroll / Richarlison / Mkhi / Eriksen / Ritchie
                Lukaku / Kane / Firmino

                Bertrand -> Davies and one of:

                A) Foster -> Krul + 0.4 ITB
                B) Dann -> Clark + 0.3 ITB
                C) Dann -> Simpson + 0.3 ITB
                D) Richarlison -> Gross + 0.5 ITB
                E) Richarlison -> Choupo-Moting + 0.4 ITB

                I want Naughton but that would mean playing him against Spurs in GW 5 or playing Mee against Liverpool. I could bring him in for Dann later on and just play Dann vs SOU in GW 5 though, but it would mean downgrading Richarlison.

                  Looking to bring someone in for Mane - thinking Pogba or Mikh wihich will give me enough money to do Stephens to Alonso.

                      I could actually afford to do Stephens to Davies anyway, and just hold Mane for two weeks. Seems a waste though.

                      Yeah - I guess it's a little like Alli & Eriksen, steady vs explosive but probably both end up with similar points at the end.
