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.

        Got some decent signings but they haven't been able to settle in quick with their style of play and they've been unlucky not to have got some sort of result in two of their games.

        But now with yet another loss they might be heading in a downward spiral

      Failed to take advantage of their first two games and had two extremely tough games afterwards
      Not sure what's wrong with them though. They seem to be playing worse than last season despite seemingly improving with some excellent signings

    I decided I immediately need to get rid of Gabbiadini and bring Morata in, but albo there have to be other moves made to get funds.

    My current team: 2FT / 1.4 ITB
    Foster / Elliot
    Kolasinac / Cedric / Mee / Naughton / Dunk
    DeBruyne / Mkhitaryan / Willian / Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane / Jesus / Gabbiadini

    I was thinking about selling Willian, what leaves me 5.3. Unfortunately it's 0.1 short to buy Gross. Richarlison is also tempting, but it would require more changes. Is anyone else worth considering besides Atsu?
    I need to rush if Morata is rising tonight. Please share thoughts!

            You have a good point, but I'm not sure about how to bring in Ben Davies into my team for Bertrand. I'd like to downgrade Dann with someone who rotates well with Mee such as Naughton, but it would leave me with very bad defensive fixtures for the next GW. Any suggestions?
