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.

    Whats with all the Mkhi hatred? Surely more players more in need of selling than him

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      I totally agree

    2. Bubz

      Been rubbish for several games

        Even some of the ones he returned in.

    3. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He hasn't scored a hattrick yet, has to be sold for a -8.

    4. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years

      Odd. He gets himself into useful positions, uses the ball well and is a key Utd player. I'd only swap for Pogba tbh when fit

    5. Brap.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Takes risks, tries to create stuff, which involves losing the ball sometimes

      Therefore English football fans get impatient

      Non owners ?

    How did Kane look against Swansea?

    1. Marcos Alonso is god
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Should have scored a couple, doesn't look as sharp as last year still deadly though

      He hit the bar, Swansea parked the bus for most of the game.

  4. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    On wildcard.
    Who is the better bet ?
    A) morata
    B) lacazette

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. ptr88
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B.
      Better fixtures now and no CL.

      1. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Got EL which is worse...

        1. ptr88
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          True, but Laca will not play EL now in the beginning.

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      For now: Lacazette. But to be honest? Prolly none. Rather get in Jesus in that price bracket

      1. KingOllie
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Have aguero already

    5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Morata. Lacazette was miles off the pace.

  5. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kolasina(c) next week?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Im thinking of that or maybe Salah

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero obv

    4. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Was he good earlier, couldn't watch the game. Heard he got a knock?

  6. Dr. DOOM
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Morata to Kun worth it?

    I have Kane and Firmino apart from him.

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

      Morata & Firmino > Kaku & Kun. Kaku will come good

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        That would mean a hit. Wouldn't do that.

    2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Considering this as well. Think I'll stick with Morata though and find another way.

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Front line?

    3. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hold on Morata, no rotation risk

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        This indeed. He'll be up there. Along with Kaku, Kane, Kun, Jesus, Vardy

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I did it yesterday... And now all my troubles seems so far away..

  7. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Think my wildcard comes down to:

    A) Mkhi or D Silva
    B) Ritchie and RLC or Gross and Atsu

    Might be able to squeeze in Silva, Ritchie and Atsu.

    Going for Kane, Aguero, Jesus up front.

    Any thoughts?

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Silva and ritchie

    2. ptr88
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Too risky with Kun & Jesus up front..They have CL so will not play both up front all matches.
      Next in CP home so I think on of them will be rested.

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Fair point - although at least one of them will play....

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Jesus+ Kun is either mad or freaking genius

      1. ptr88
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Mad.

      2. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        The way this season has been going for me - the latter.....

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      PTR I dont think so.. they Will max be rested 30 min.. they have both been rested plenty so far compared to Other premium Strikers like Kane and Kaku who had played the full 90 min every game. Besides they Will get rested mid week for sure (Aguero Will at least)

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    You know Pep will bench Kun next week

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

      While Kane & Kaku are hattricking too, that's the way this game goes

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'm actually fairly certain of it, yet Kun is my captain 😆

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Dont think so. He will be rested mid week with Jesus playing (hence the 60 min sub-off).

    4. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sometimes continuity is the best thing for a team in form.

  9. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Vote for the best:

    A) Kola Erik Mkhi Morata Kun
    B) Kola Salah Mkhi Morata Kun
    C) Cedric Salah Mkhi Lukaku Kun

    Much appreciated

    Have had three seasons of triumph but am getting slaughtered this season.

    Wildcarded this week after pogba got injured and my pre wildcard team is currently beating my post wildcard team by 20 points. More if lukaku scores. It's killing me

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

      Ouch

    2. teki0s
      • 7 Years

      Patience. Luck has been against a lot of us since the start of the season, it will get better.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      WC teams are judged more long term. It will improve.

      1. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        My pre wildcard team is now approx 35 points ahead.

        Unbelievable

  11. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    You're all probably going to slate, but why does this look so appealing to me? 🙁

    Fabianski
    Jones/Kola/Alonso/Mendy/Davies
    Salah/Eriksen/Atsu
    Kane/Aguero

    Elliot/Hemed/TC/RLC

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Do it. Im on 5-2-3

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Similar back five mate?

        1. KingOllie
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Identical 🙂

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Slate you for what? Thats a good team

    3. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good but prefer Ritchie over Atsu

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah me too pal, could maybe downgrade Hemed to complete bench fodder and downgrade Jones to afford Ritchie...

    4. Catenaccio FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      That's is actually really good.. Week bench but what the hell.. You can't have evrything.

    5. dark91
      • 8 Years

      Looks nice as long as that defence doesn't let you dowb somehow

    6. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't bring Jones on WC. United fixtures are about to turn.

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years

        Any recommendations? Maybe Maguire?

    7. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like it actually.

    8. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Mendy rotation risk... Pep has clearly stated he Will rotate his fullbacks. At 6.5 I just dont think he is worth it

      1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        You reckon stay away from city wing backs then?

  12. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Best 4.5 to rotate with elliot?

    Pope?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Fabianksi

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A lot of people say Hart.

      I prefer Fabianski for 4.5m personally

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Fabianski

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Fabianski

    5. FPL Bargain
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. Dovetails nice SWA fab also option but BUR better home rotation

    6. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hart as you can get Swansea cover for a mere 4.5 in Naughton playing a fullback

  13. tm245
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Fellaini playing in his Everton position. Do people expect rotation with Herrera while Pogba is out, or are minutes pretty secure?

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He won't play against the weaker sides.

  14. TheTinman

    1. Marcos Alonso is god

    Damn Valencia > Davies seemed such a safe move. Valencia at 6.5m was burning money vs Jones, getting Jones this week. Thought Utd would CS but Davies seemed essential. Looks like it will be a 15pt-er, would've been valuable this week!

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Same. Good move, bad timing.

    3. Wetdream

      No.Was at the game yesterday he was totally ineffective.

  17. lordkippe
    • 7 Years

    Would you take a -4 to get kun in for someone here ? Kane - Jesus - Firmino

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Firminho only.. but since you have Jesus i really dont know

  18. davies
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Martina @ 4.3 looks decent...

    Is he first choice with Coleman out?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Seems to be ahead of Holgate atm, still a bit iffy

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think him and Holgate Will get rotated.. same dilemma with TAA/Gomez

    Still haven't broken 30pts 😆

        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, Mkhi and Jones.

        Still, sub-30 is just bobbins.

        And my Bavies autosub is.....Wimmer 0pts 😆

        1. Eton Rifles

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

          Will Mbemba get subbed for me if he is 3rd defender and my 2nd defender did not play?

          1. Eton Rifles
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            of course

    2. Debauchy

      Aye , on 27 at the mo ., yeah

    3. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on 30 with Mkhi only one playing, hoping from 2pts from Mbemba from the bench hopefully...
      I didn't organize my bench as I had no notion that Pochetino was an idiot

      1. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

      Honestly, so far, and Kaku could change it, it's not been a bad week to have a shocker. Kun was still a major differential. Not many others have done well.

    DDG
    Walker Sanchez holebas
    Willian Eriksen brunt Salah
    Lukaku chicharito firmino

    Elliot berty matic Rangel

    1 Ft 0 ITB

    Should I go for -8 and take out willian chicharito and berty ? I can bring in wood Martina and David Silva

    I am having a good season so far with 269 points in total .. is it wise to go for -8 ?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Just take out Chicha or Willian for now

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        68 with Lukaku playing - Lucky on Brom, Soton double up and Salah captain

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      48, Mkhi & Kaku.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Average is 40 right now. I stand on a poor 35.. And imagine that my gw started with an Atsu goal.

    Elliot | Foster
    Alonso | Davies | Bertrand | Yoshida | Hune
    Eriksen | Mkhi | Phillips | Atsu | Carroll
    Kane | Lukaku | Chicarito

    1FT, .4 ITB

    Bertrand, Chicarito -> Kola, Wood for a hit? Would be only for 2 weeks.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    any reason why lacazette was subbed at 66? not worth the outlay if he's not doing the full 90 regularly...

    1. El_Shaw
      • 8 Years

      Wasn't looking particularly dangerous IMO
