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

                    He was awful, considering they're supposed to be a title chasing side. He's been decent in the first few matches but as soon as it gets tough his passing and lack of movement is a giant hindrance

                    This.

                    Can't blame Fellaini for this embarrassment despite conceding the pen. The game was lost well before that. Probably been one of our best players so far this season.

                    Rooney has to go immediately, and if Jose can't see that from this performance he can go too!

                His returns suggest the total opposite of this.

                He's scoring points in a team that aren't doing well, so imagine what happens when they actually do start playing well.

                Looking at how his team are playing and that hes dropped to 4PPG in his last 3 I dont think its value for money.

                If i go for a Kane, Costa, Lukaku etc they might not match his points over the season but spending that money in the midfield IMO will bring a higher points gain.

              I came close but opted for Lukaku instead. Good luck!

            No Pieters.

            Have to take Greys 2. Yuck.

            Pieters prob would have conceded anyways
