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.

    Suspension news

    Costa suspended for GW18
    Ibrahimovic is NOT suspended. He already had 5 yellow cards early in the season including a League Cup yellow card.

          (Not sure if serious or sarcastic...)

          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 Boxing day 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.

            Similiar situation due to funds.

            I'm just doing 1, its less messy, means I don't have to waste another transfer getting Costa back in later and means I roll with Costa, Ibra and Origi front line which I would want. Kane is disposable for me.

          Foster | Heaton
          Walker | Coleman | Holebas | McAuley |Love
          Antonio | Eriksen | Sanchez | Siggy | Capoue
          Negredo | Costa | Kane

          Best route to get Ibra in?

          A. Costa, Eriksen and Kane OUT -> Ibra, Hazard and Benteke IN (-8)
          B. Costa, Antonio and Kane OUT -> Ibra, Hazard and Deeney/Origi/Llorente IN (-8)
          C. Costa and Eriksen OUT -> Ibra and Walcott/Lallana/Alli IN (-4)
          D. Costa and Antonio OUT -> Ibra and Noble/Chadli/Phillips/Redmond IN (-4)

          A and B gives me Hazard as an Chelsea cover but with an added hit. C and D leave me with no Chelsea cover.

            I think if player falls to an odd number then you lose 0.1
