Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Everton

Gameweek 5 concludes at Old Trafford as Manchester United’s Fantasy assets bid to end our weekend with a series of hauls.

Romelu Lukaku is undoubtedly the big draw. Still by far the top player, he remains part of 2.8 million squads and is backed by 1.4 million with the captaincy (30.1%).

However, having been the dominant captain all season, his Gameweek 5 support is at its lowest since the opening weekend of the season when he was backed by 28% of managers.

In addition, despite scoring six goals in six outings in all competitions, Lukaku’s ownership continues to slide.

The Belgian suffered a net loss of 72,000 owners ahead of Friday’s deadline and has so far been sold by another 38,000 managers before kicking a ball in Gameweek 5. Over 28,000 of those managers have made the move to Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero, with the Argentine’s hat-trick putting real pressure on Lukaku today. Fail to deliver returns and sales will surely pick up pace.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan also needs to produce.

The Armenian has been the major benefactor in FPL terms from Paul Pogba’s injury, gaining more than 321,000 new owners – second only to Spurs’ Ben Davies for Gameweek 5.

But following the 11-point tally from City’s David Silva in yesterday’s 6-0 win at Watford, Mkhitaryan owners will be keen to see their man produce a return without the influence of Pogba alongside him.

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

    Rooney against Bournemouth H, Burnley H and Brighton A a good pick?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years

      Not too inspiring

    2. Kun Tozser

      Depends if he mets Bardsley for a beer or not

      Not as good as it might look. Bournemouth will be more confident, Burnley and Brighton are tight defensively.

      Burnley away has been pretty good so far

    Need a Jones goal asap. Is he getting in the box?

    Actually, let's start with is he getting out of his own half?

    1. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Don't push it.

      He might injure himself tripping on a blade of grass going up for corners.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah I thought so, just loads of doubts now, Danilo first, of then tadic is not doing anything, Jesus keeps getting taken off 60 min mark, firmino I think has stopped firing, mykht seems to play badly...ohhhh I thought I had a team for next 2 weeks now dunno

  27. Shultan

    Why is everyone so keen to get rid of lukaku when its kane who has blanked 4/5 times & spurs who are strugling to break teams down at wembley?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Think both will fall tbh, as it's a split decision.

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He hasn't scored a hattrick mate. Get him out for a -8 while you can.
