Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Southampton

3,761 Comments
Share

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.

    Fabianski
    Azpi - Jones - Otamendi - Ogbonna
    Kdb - Salah - Richarlison - Young
    Kane - Morata

    Elliot - RLC - Kenny - DCL

    I'm 0.1 away from KDB + Young >>> Son + Sterling for free. I could go -4 for it as it's an extra DGW player. Any other suggestions fellas?

      Young may get a ban for his elbow on tadic so that -4 maybe timely enough

    Planning to have 6 DGW players, 1 FT available, 3.9 ITB. Gross has good fixtures in 6 out of the next 7 games, but Richarlison is in better form. What do I do?

    A) Richarlison > Alli
    B) Richarlison > Erriksen
    C) Richarlison > Son
    D) Gross > Alli
    E) Gross > Erriksen
    F) Gross > Son

    Adrian

      If you started the season with that team you would probably be leading the FPL, so it could work. Many will say it's too dangerous without Kane

    Which Liverpool players can make way for DGW players?

    Salah is likely to be injured for Burnley.

    Mane and Salah are at an awards do just before the FA Cup Game. So Coutinho and Firmino likely to be rested for Burnley, so they can play in the FA Cup.

      Christensen, Kabasele, KDB, Hazard -> Ota Jones Son Arnie (-8)?

        I've bought in Quaner, reason being, I've given up on that 3rd striker spot. I couldn't get it right last season, and I certainly can't get it right this season, so I've gone for the very cheapest playing 3rd striker (to bench) to allow me to pump max funds into the rest of my team.
