Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man United

3,016 Comments
Share

A hectic afternoon with points aplenty will hopefully continue with the tea-time kick-off at the London Stadium.

With Sergio Aguero emerging from the bench to return a goal and potential bonus points at the Etihad, our attention now switches to the red side of Manchester and their own talismanic goalscorer – Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Heavily backed by FPL managers once again, the Swede takes on the Hammers with 24.1% of the Gameweek 20 armbands strapped to his bicep.

Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho recalls Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo at centre-back as two of five changes to his line-up; Henrikh Mkhitaryan earns his second successive start.

For West Ham, Andy Carroll drops to the bench having started the last four Gameweeks. Mark Noble and Andre Ayew also drop out as Pedro Obiang, Manuel Lanzini and Sofiane Feghouli earn starts.

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

      I have this

      Sanchez, Philips, Alli, Lallana
      Bellerin, Ake, Brunt
      Grant

      My value is 105 and my subs are basically not playing so if I wanted Hazard too, no Alli or Lallana.. which its not worth it

        Not bad, maybe get in Ake save you a lil bit. I have watched him play for a while now, he is awesome and a BP magnet. His defending gets him BPs even if he does score, any set pieces he will get in their box and try nab one.

        Yea nice team too, you guys value Hazard highly. Out of all the big hitters he was the one to give way for me. He just isnt bringing in enough points, when someone like Alli is and they are so much cheaper, and you already have Costa. Well that was my thought process anyway
