The Dugout Discussion – Leicester City vs Manchester United

After Gabriel Jesus downed Swansea with a double at the Etihad, we make our way to the King Power as Leicester City entertain Manchester United in the final fixture of Gameweek 24.

Despite back-to-back blanks, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was once again the most captained player for this round of matches – he was handed the armband by 20.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers.

The likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could emerge as differentials against a defence that’s conceded at least twice in five of their last six home matches.

With a blank Gameweek 26 and potential blank in Gameweek 28, though, Jose Mourinho’s men are far from our short-term plans right now.

Leicester’s unconvincing form at both ends of the pitch bodes well for the Red Devils – with a single goal scored in the last six Gameweeks, those holding the likes of David de Gea and Antonio Valencia will be optimistic of a clean sheet.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Probably a good move, but not essential. Still a few weeks before 28, so enough time to plan.

      If all goes as expected = everyone's in trouble with so few players to choose from.
      If there's a shock = you'll probably have 1 player more than you expected so you'll be looking good

        Not for a hit, especially when Man U have Watford at home while Everton are at Middlesbrough. I think Ibra will outscore Lukaku next week. Everton didn't do so well in the game prior to Bournemouth.

    Been in Wales for a few days with sporadic signal
    Was happy when Costa assisted Alonso then went dark for a few hours... opened my phone to see Lukaku had scored 4 goals... I don't even own him and am now down to around 250k and 5th in a big money cash league.
    Plus my Eriksen (c) punt was a complete disaster.
