Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man United

Jose Mourinho returns to the Premier League with a sun soaked Vitality Stadium providing the backdrop.

AFC Bournemouth host Mourinho and his Manchester United charges in today’s early kick-off, with Eddie Howe’s men attempting to follow Hull City’s lead and rip up the script.

Certainly today’s meeting will provide a stern test of Mourinho’s work over the summer – a tight pitch, a tight ground and a home side bristling with pace via Josh King, Callum Wilson and new signing Jordan Ibe.

But United have Zlatan Ibrahimovic; the Swede heads into the match having been handed the armband by 21% of Fantasy Premier League managers. It remains to be seen if he can keep pace with Sergio Aguero who was backed by 34% and rewarded them with a 9-point return in the day one win over Sunderland.

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

      I'm in the exact position. And yes, I think I will. I had worried about the effect he would have on the rest of the squad, but Lamela and Redmond's performance yesterday show you can have him and Aguero without gutting the team.

    Starting to realize that Ibra probably won't be worth it in terms of points, but every point he gets will knock you (non-owner) a tad further down the rankings. That alone is enough for me to put him in my team.

      I don't think it is about ownership, but sheer points. If Ibra scores more than your alternative, you'll go down in ranks. If your Kane or Vardy alternative out scores Ibra, you go up.

    What are Kane owners thinking? Kane looks the better option next week but Ibra could be out of reach in no time

      He was dropping very deep by all accounts yesterday.

    For those looking to get rid of Alli / Eriksen for Lamela, is anyone worried about Lamela's game time if Jaansen starts appearing in the starting XI?

      Lamela form player. Not going to lose his spot in a hurry.

        Yeah he is a form player atm however, I'm not sure how they would set up if Kane and Jaansen played up front together. As Faver says, for the CL there's going to be a fair bit of rotation. If he's the form player then he might be rested in Bpl games?

      They have CL to play so rotation is likely so I just hope that Lamela will get bpl minutes
