Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Southampton

Gameweek 21 continues under the lights of Old Trafford as Manchester United host Southampton in the evening kick-off.

For Fantasy managers, the focus is certainly on the home side, though arguably they are fading fast as a source of Fantasy talent.

David De Gea – the top owned goalkeeper (43.5%) – has produced just a single clean sheet in his last seven Gameweeks, while Romelu Lukaku’s decline as a Fantasy asset has continued at pace having claimed just two goals in his previous eight Gameweeks.

Even Paul Pogba has disappointed of late, blanking in his two appearances since returning from injury and recording just a single touch in the penalty area in the process. We will look for more from him tonight.

Instead it is Jesse Lingard who heads into this match as an unlikely source of form and points. Deployed in a No 10 role for United, he has produced five goals and two assists in his last seven Gameweeks and was the second most signed asset ahead of today’s deadline.

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

    FPL statistics is down.
    I suppose we all expect Morata and Hazard to plummet in price but when will they drop? Plus I guess Kane will no longer fall.

      Kane still flagged so prob will still drop

        3,471 already sold ahead of the double! He is still attracting more purchases though so the flag for what is basically a cold is not putting people off.

        I think there will be massive rotations plus the dgw. So if you get that right can be a very good choice. What do you think?

    Not only is this guy accurate with team news, he is also accurate with predicting point scorers. What a man.

      Chelsea insider. Love those insiders. Shame we don't have a Man City one.

    Hazard (c), Salah (vc) 😎

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I was one of the clever ones that switched from Hazard to Salah at 1:59 because of fear of rotation.

      No reward! 😀

    Pick the highest scoring 2 DGW midfielders, money aside, from:

    Alli Eriksen Son Arnautovic Lanzini

    1. FPLife
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      1. Son
      2. Eriksen

    2. Gruu
      • 7 Years

      Son & Eriksen

    Jones Pogba and Lingard ... my game week hinges on this game ... come on Utd

  11. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Haz or Cout for ErikSon?

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Haz

  12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Trying to add up Salah's baps:

    Playing 60 mins: 6
    Two goals: 36
    Winning goal: 3
    Assume total 5 successful crosses, dribbles, key passes: 5
    70% pass completion: 2
    Total before deductions: 52
    Final bps: 27
    Deductions?? 25 points deducted?

    25 points deducted is equivalent of missing 8 big chances... seems a bit weird

    1. 824545201
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Mark halved his BPS, he was too salty with his Morata (C).

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Tackles, fouls, offsides?

        • 14 Years

        Big chances missed
        Loss of possession

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          But 27 points of deductions? That's a lot of big chances & tackles! I though maybe 3 big chances missed & 10 tackles/offsides... that's 19 bps deductions... would still leave him on 33ish

    3. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'm sure it's been asked before but what's Salah's EO? I guess most here have him as captain?

        140%

      least Hazard didn't let me down this wk. Stayed on the bench for 1st sub Niasse 4 pts.

      56 including auto-sub, baps with Sterling, DDG to go. Three correct capt picks has done wonders. Most important element of the game I suppose .

      Guess that won't be great score with all these Salah(vc) floating around.

    5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Are everone getting Adrian for Elliot. Especially those with the fab/Elliot pairing

    6. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Will Christensen actually get his place back in the Chelsea squad?

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He is our main player. Will play vs arsenal

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Your main player? Maybe a bit of an overstatement? Why didn't he play today then?

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Man he is our 2nd best defender. Have u watched him play. He will play all big games. Might miss the odd match against a lower opponent. His composure on the ball is extraordinary

      2. Matamatics
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I think he has to be considered a rotation risk. Lots of competition for places, even with 3 at the back, with Rudiger impressing.

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He was coming back from illness so was on the bench. Quite normal.

      Next time I or anyone considers bringing in a Watford DEF please remind them to give their head a wobble. Cheers

      Klopp - "Mo Salh was limping at the end, never a good sign. We will see what he can do for the next game"

        Game in 2 days... Still, no way anyone would sell I guess. Just need Jordan Ayew to come to my rescue again!

      Even if I get 4 CS's this week will still hurt like hell due to Morata (C)
