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.

    Very nice managing by Mourinho and other players to let Martial get the penalty he earned.
    Things finally look little better at red side of Manchester 🙂

      Stay classy Manchester UK

    Kane should take a leaf out of Lukaku's book.
    Overhyped striker just becasue he is English.

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      God you're an idiot.

      Overhyped, just lol..

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I'm an idiot ?
        Numbers this season would suggest otherwise.

        1. Mr Chelski
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Still 33 games of the season to go, Kane will probably provide points sooner rather than later.

        2. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          6 games into the season and you're calling a proven, quality striker over hyped. If he scores a brace next week you'll be sucking his knob.

          1. el polako
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Not sure what you are into mate, but dont judge others by your standards.

  6. Red Devil Swede

    Man United and Man City - equal points, equal goal difference, equal number of goals scored and equal number of goals conceded.

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane : cool:

  10. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    So I can keep Kane and Lukaku and get aguero for a hit...

    Mounie, Eriksen, DDG --> Aguero, Gross, Fabianski/Foster for -4

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

      Yes

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years

      Lol, if you can get the triple without wrecking your team then Kudos, thats mighty potent

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Team would then be

        Fabianski/Foster, Elliot
        Davies Yoshida Mee Dawson Long
        Salah Mhiki Gross Atsu Carrol
        Lukaku Aguero Kane

        Mid not best..

    3. FC Hakkebøf

    So, Kane out for Aguero then (have Luka)?

    1. HNI
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Well dont remove Lukaku for starters.
      Kane has 2 away matches which is good as its wembley were they scared the most

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

        …apart from spanking an excellent Dortmund side

  13. Harper (No more Penandes)

    Valencia top of the defenders list 😎

  14. seewhyaxe

    I'm up to 50 pts and I got 4 red arrows. What's the avg score this week?

    1. HNI
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      With Lukaku goal you may again get red arrow
      Think almost all who dint get sweept by Kane hoopla captained Lukaku

    DDG three saves yummy

  17. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I thought United where very poor in attack but still score 4. It's a funny old game eh

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

      They were very pooir

  18. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    45K people sold Lukaku since yesterday

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku doubters will persist, no idea why

      1. HNI
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        People on here rate Kane waay over Lukaku cuz he is an englishman. Same was for sturridge over aguero 4 years back.
        Kane no doubt has better shot but lukaku is stronger faster and plays for better team

    2. Mark-O
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Really Laughing Cheers

  19. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sold Kaku, Mhkri, and Ritchie on WC. Captained Kane. Worst game week ever

    1. HNI
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Dont let the crowd on here get you into kane hype. Get both to keep things simple

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I had full confidence in Kaku but little by little, every day of checking these comments, slowly I came around to Kane and made my worst ever FPL move.

  20. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Surely Lukaku will get some BPS deductions? Really want that Mkhi 3 Baps

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Valencia also gets winning goal bonus so Mhki could also end up with 1! Would be the right thing to do though, he was poor today imo

  21. NRK
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    104. What a week!

  22. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Lukaku and Mkhi bailing me out there... might have won my h2h if Lukaku took that penalty tho!

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

    After deductions it could be

    Mkhi 3, Val 2, Lukaku 1

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yup.

    2. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Where do you find out that information? Another website or something? 🙂

    3. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yesss, that's what I wanted to hear.

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      hopefully

    5. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Please yes!

  24. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku to lose the 3 baps

    Potentially go down to 1

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

    Kane(c) without thinking next GW. Thinking won't get me anywhere this season for certain.

    1. shearer9
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yup if I'd kept my gw1 team I reckon I'd be cruising. Same story every season.

  26. TheBusDriver
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    United still don't look that convincing.

    1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No less convincing that City. Both teams +14 GD after five games. Two horse race imo.

      Matches are 90 minutes long, you can't take away United's goals just because they came late.

      1. HNI
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed
        Match lasts for 90mins and most teams get lose at end but Manutd just have same consistency till end and punjsh teams.
        Think Manutd can get extra push to challenge for title with Zlatan from boxing day

  27. Dot Polka Dot
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I think Aguero is a must have for next week. Who goes?

    A) Firmino (-4)
    B) Morata

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

      B

  28. PogChamp
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    160k rank with Lukaku all season. Seems like every GW he destroys me in the last 10 mins.

  29. Mark-O
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Manchester City and Utd both have +14 GD, top at the table together

    If next week is the Manchester derby.. if only...

  30. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Think I may still do Lukaku to Kun(c). United don't look the same without Pogba, 4-0 was very flattering

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yea thinking about it too
