Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Man United

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.

      Jese havent got anything yet? Shaqiri is key

      1. Onana Whatsmyname

        6 years, 7 months ago

        No he hasn't but looks good. Only a Degea wonder save stopped him.

        Shaquiri also looking good but disappears away from home

    It'd look like scoring a winner?

      *Utd

    Just ran Morata v Jesus in the Stats.

    Wow talk about a head scratcher, so evenly matched.

    Comes down to nailed on ness V easier fixtures.....

    1. Onana Whatsmyname

      Morata more nailed and will never play wide

        You didn't see him pre-season 😉

    Is Bailly immune to a yellow?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He rejects them on principle

    Mane to Eriksen or Coutinho? (Have Kane)

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen

    2. Lizardprime
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'd say maybe Eriksen if you're not bothered about getting Mané back in after the suspension. Coutinho might be an option if you definitely are though.

    Bailly should have had a YC

  8. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater

    I just read FIFA assist rules. Mhki should be given an assist

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Read the fpl rule and get back to us

      1. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        NOOOOOOOO

    2. VFORVANDETA

      Fpl not based on Fifa.They asked Mark first.

      1. Ser Bronn of The Blackwater
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        FPL RULE:
        "Assists

        Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

        If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded. Should two opposing players touch the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, then no assist is awarded.

        Rebounds
        If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded."

    When was last Mkhi scored? 8.3m for a guy who never scores is waste of space.

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I agree once the easy fixtures are over he isn't worth 8.3

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mids are crap this season, he's worth it for them assists.

    3. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He's not good at finishing. I'm sure others on here will claim he can finish.

      Assists+bps makes up for a goal

  12. Hotdogs for Tea

    A -4 hit every week is very good for your sanity

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      -8 maybe this week.

  13. Onana Whatsmyname
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mkhki looking good for assists but not threatening the goal enough. Could have an awesome season but not an epic FPL season.

    Reminds me of David Silva in his role

  14. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    If Mikhi gets the assist, then Pogba should get his from two weeks ago.

  15. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Need another Lukaku goal.....Poggy assist would be nice.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

    2. Strangelove
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Judging from comments I should probably ask... how bad has Jones been?

    3. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not the best. Doubt he'll lose his place to Smalling though.
