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

    Good move to do Coutinho to Siggy tonight, to avoid Siggy potential price rise?

            Thinking about that exact move too. It's between Eriksen and Sanchez so I think I'll get rid of Eriksen for Siggy and I'll maybe bring in Barkley for De Roon with my second FT.

            Eriksen --> Siggy seems the move to make then. It's a tough call though but out of the two it's probably the better IMO. If you wouldn't mind taking a look just below at my transfer predicament, that would be great!

        Think I will do the same move. If you have Alli, surely one of Alli or Eriksen has to go. Don't know if Eriksen has to be your victim though.

        For me it's either Eriksen or Sanchez and Sanchez has HUL next so I'll probably part ways with Eriksen. It also gives me the funds to bring in Barkley for De Roon so that I can cover for Sanchez' blank in GW 26. Good moves?

            Yeah you're right, it's also with GW 28 in mind. GW 26 won't be a problem in any case, but it will feel better to field Barkley instead of just some 4th defender I guess. And for GW 28 I'd have a midfield of Siggy, Barkley, Antonio and Phillips (Sanchez) so hope that pays off 🙂

      Ibrahimovic + Phillips ---> Costa + Sigurdsson worth the 2FT?

      Hazard - Sanchez - Eriksen - Phillips - Stanislas
      Giroud - Ibrahimovic - Anichebe*

      Would've ditched Hazard but after yesterday, his confidence must be sky-high...

        Would hold off on Ibra for Watford. I see that you can't do the Siggy transfer without shifting Ibra. Can't you do any other transfer in defence or get a replacement for Anichebe? How much Itb?

                Then hold on but the problem is Swansea is away to Chelsea in gw26. So if you do bring in Siggy that week prepared for a 2 pointer.

      Having a hard time choosing between Barkley, Siggy and Antonio. So made this comparison of promising non-blanking mids. Think Barkley edges it for me. Good differential too. Any other candidates?

      Statistical form (last 6 GWs): (Goal attempts/On target/Chances created)

      1 Barkley 17 / 8 / 15
      2 Sigurdsson 17 / 9 / 12
      3 Antonio 14 / 4 / 9
      4 Phillips 14 / 3 / 6

      Fixtures:

      1 Barkley mid - SUN - tot - WBA - HUL (11 FDR)
      2 Sigurdsson LEI - che - BUR - hul - bou (12 FDR)
      3 Antonio WBA - wat - CHE - bou - LEI (13 FDR)

          Would it be good to own them all? I already have Antonio and Phillips and I'm thinking about bringing in Siggy and Barkley for Eriksen and De Roon. That way I can bench Sanchez.

        Cheers. This could be useful for me too. I'd make Siggy my priority because Leicester seemed so out of pace today Siggy could have a field day next GW. But I'm actually thinking about doing Eriksen --> Siggy and De Roon --> Barkley with my 2 FTs, you reckon those are good moves?
