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

    Will Mata be on pens? Did he not take them for a bit or am I making this up?

      Sanchez becomes a problem 26 blank - @LIV - 28 blank?, depends how much you have in him? I've 11.6 still so might assess things.

        Only own Ibra and Sanchez from all the blankers in gw 26 sp can afford to keep one, selling value from Sanchez is 11.6

        Did forgot to mention that A would mean Funes Mori in defence and B would mean Coleman though
