Dugout Discussion – Watford vs Man United

Sunday treats us to four matches, kicking off with a noon encounter at Vicarage Road between Watford and Man United.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic carries the armband hopes of many Fantasy managers heading into this one – the Swede narrowly topped this week’s Captain Poll off the back of four goals in as many matches.

Etienne Capoue has the chance to prove himself worthy of a fourth midfielder slot today. Having scored against Southampton, Chelsea and West Ham, the Frenchman is set for a favourable run of matches that could bring in the points.

Similarly, Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney and Jose Holebas are also under the spotlight after all three got amongst the goals in last week’s comeback win over the Hammers.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        So many people upset over benching Capoue points. Chill. We got him at the start of the season as our perma-benched 5th mid and we realistically would not have played him over any of our other 4 mids. Maybe it's now time to reassess our options and consider him worthy of a starting spot in our teams. No point dwelling on benched points though.

              Not the sole reason, I agree there and other players need examining too. But Rooney has been a complete roadblock for that United team for three seasons now.

          Unless they've been instructed by the club not to. There's something very strange going on there, I think it's obvious. Whatever about Moyes, LVG and Mou are more than capable of dropping players who weren't performing half as badly as Rooney.

          A similar thing happened with Beckham for England when he was past his best. McClaren had the balls to drop him but that didn't end well.
