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.

      Wrong to say they are going to try and screw Arsenal. If Arsenal don't pay the going rate ( and wage negotiation has sod all to do with Wenger ) they will piss off elsewhere. That's the cynical football world I'm afraid.

    Those looking at selling Costa need to hold off until you find out Monday whether the next fixture will be a double game week. It would be a travesty to sell him now and not be able to get him back.

    So I am planning Kane to Aguero for Liverpool. However, I also now want Ibra which means Origi to Ibra. To do this I will have to sell Hazard which is fine as he is not getting enough points to justify his price tag.
    For next GW: Pedro + Firmino ---> Ericson + cheap midfielder 1
    GW 19: Kane ---> Aguero
    GW 20: Hazard + Origi ----> Ibra + cheap midfielder 2

    Who should cheap midfielder 1 and 2 be? They can be around 5.5m each. I was thinking Can to keep some Liverpool cover and maybe Phillips as WBA have had some good attacking stats recently. Any thoughts?

        Was going to add Rodney but thought it would be lost on most. Seems to be causing the desired mayhem though .

      pointless imo, esp if you have more pressing issues to solve as in my case

      need to be getting kun back gw19, just think it's a waste of 2 fts selling costa and then getting him straight back in

        I'm asking as I count 5 on the FPL website, and I'm keen on getting him tonight but not if he's gonna be suspended. Am I counting it wrong?
