Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Newcastle

2,570 Comments
Share

Saturday’s events conclude at Old Trafford where Manchester United host Newcastle under lights.

From a Fantasy perspective, there is huge interest in this final game with Romelu Lukaku once again the most popular captain pick for a tenth Gameweek in 12.

Almost 1.4 million (26.4%) back the Belgian with the armband, despite the striker suffering significant sales ahead of today’s deadline. More than 122,000 will be hoping that their decision to sell goes unpunished against the Magpies.

But Paul Pogba’s return is expected to boost Lukaku’s prospects: the Frenchman is fit and back in the United starting line-up. He scored two goals and picked up three assists in four starts prior to his injury.

Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic also makes his return and is named among the United substitutes.

Phil Jones misses out, with Victor Lindelof earning his first Premier League start as Eric Bailly is another absentee through injury. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is notably missing from the United teamsheet, with Jose Mourinho confirming that his absence is for tactical reasons.

Skipper Jamaal Lascelles is sidelined for the visitors, while goalkeeper Rob Elliot is Newcastle’s most popular player on show, though 82% of his 1.4 million owners have him on their bench in expectation of United goals.

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

    Callum Wilson has scored more goals in one game than Lukaku has in 4 PL games

    How important is team value at this stage of the season.

    Without playing the market (I've haven't taken any hits but I have WC) I'm on 103.2 which seems higher than my rivals although some of them have more points (so its not because "I'm doing really well").

    Thoughts on the Niasse penalty incident?

    I have seen it and he goes down way too easily but there is definitely upper-body contact. It would be difficult for a panel to unanimously agree that it’s a dive (despite Lineker’s best efforts). It’s neither a penalty nor a dive, IMO.

    a lot of people looking to get in morata but not much mention of trying to fit in hazard over him.

    Haz has a lot going for him over morata,

    -on penos
    -Far superior in getting bps
    -more point(s) for goals and clean sheet

    individually these factors dont give much of an advantage but collectively result in hazard much more likely to get double digit hauls lile haz getting 11 points vs bou with only 1 goal but morata getting 9 today despite goal and assist
