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

    Anyone else still refusing to buy Capoue for a) thinking this form can't possibly last and b) thinking he'll still be on my bench every week so what's the point?!

      He has scored almost every gameweek, his form will continue.
      Since his ownership will be quite scary now, it will hurt you if he scores again.

        But I have Firmino, Sterling, Ozil, Antonio, Aguero, Lukaku and Benteke. So I would never start him. Darren Fletcher is my 5th current midfielder and can't afford Capoue anyway without a hit. Just can't see why I would try and get him in as a 5th mid if he'd always be on my bench?!

          True. But I would recommend that you should have a look at replacing Özil and getting someone a bit cheaper. If Capoue keeps his current form, it would be wise to have a strategy to bring him in.

            But want Arsenal coverage of some kind. It's very tricky. Def wouldn't want to rely on Capoue as my 4th midfielder as too many heavy hitters in midfield who will be more consistent and explosive over the course of the season.
