Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Man United

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.

        I got Costa at 9.5 so could sell for 10.3, would have to buy him back for 11 (10.9?) next week.

        I imagine lots of others gained value from him so won't be able to afford it. Besides, Kane away against Southampton is hardly the best proposition.

      How everyone doing then for points? I'm on 42 with De Gea playing, Fonte, Eriksen, Kane and Sanchez tomorrow.

      Foolishly captained Defoe but at least he didn't blank :/ mixed emotions about Kane... Rival has him captain.

        What's the general thinking here? Who's selling Costa for Ibra and who's keeping him? Costa(specifically, considering he's skipping the next game) has some bad fixtures coming up while Ibra's are much better.
