Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Man United

17 December 2016 2005 comments

Saturday’s action concludes at the Hawthorns where Manchester United drop in on an in-form West Bromwich Albion.

The Fantasy attention will be split here, with United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic owned by 28.4% and captained by 13% up against a popular West Brom rearguard.

While Tony Pulis’ defence has kept just a single clean sheet in 13, the likes of Gareth McAuley and Craig Dawson offer a big threat from set-pieces, while Chris Brunt’s delivery could be vital.

Brunt provided a pair of assists in the midweek victory over Swansea City from left-back but is pushed forward into a midfield role this evening as Dawson returns from suspension, shifting Allan Nyom to left-back.

Significantly, almost 500,000 of McAuley’s 1.2 million owners keep him on the bench for this one – 360,000 of Foster’s 664,000 ownership do the same with the Baggies keeper.

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

    The silver lining for Costa keepers is that his price fall will be limited due to the little am out of time between the next 2 games

    If he performs straight after coming back (very likely ) he will start rising again

            I'm talking the week after

            If there was another full week he could drop even further

            Instead he has a quick chance to turn those sales around

              Ahh I see. Still, I feel there will be a massive drop in ownership this week, and unless he outperforms Zlatan, I think people will opt for him instead.

      So what are we looking at? Based on the stats so far -0.1 knee-jerk

    Just to clear this up about Ibra being rested for the Boxing day match, Jose said in the presser for the WBA game:

    "He is doing phenomenal. Tomorrow he is going to play again, then one week to rest."

    Given that the next fixture is on Monday, I assume Jose just literally means there's no game for a week and then of course Ibra will be selected for the Sunderland game.

    Mods/Scouts, ever consider a pop up bix when a FAQ keeps occurring? Plenty of sites have them when the users are in a community and access the site frequently for updates and information.

    Something like a box that pops up with the message "Ibrahimovic already served his suspension" that the visitor has to read and close (with a Don't Show Again option) before entering the site. People are genuinely wondering and it could ease the traffic.

        To weigh it up Kane > Ibra is a simple transfer. Then it means you are free to do whatever you want following GW, like in maybe case sort out Hazard post Bou performance! Kane has been pretty Meh and not well selected so is disposable without much risk.

        Hazard/Capoue (or Whoever) and Costa > Ibra and Whoever, locks you into doing a future transfer of getting Costa because you are bound to want him back. More messy and less flexible.

          Good arguments there. Ibra and Costa + Origi/Benteke looks like the way to go forward, so keeping Costa rather than Kane could be useful in terms of sorting out other parts of your team

          TBH out of the 3 I would rather have Ibra and Costa over Kane, given United's fixtures and Costa's consistency..

          Also I should say I can't afford to do Costa > Ibra as a straight transfer, would require two transfers for me.

    So let's forget zlatan , Costa , Kane for 5 minutes

    Arsenal and uniteds fixtures are fantastic now and with a lot of owning Eriksen and Payet (well me 🙂 )

    What midfield options are there
    Ozil is the one but hard to get , Walcott worries me as his firm is going south. , but those easier fixtures might revive
    Pogba , mkhy ???

      Doing Costa to Ibra so keeping Firmino but tbf Im not that bothered about sticking with Firmino, was prob keeping regardless. Could have had a few assists vs Boro and looked a lot better than the few games before that
