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

      Bottomed : Jesus and Siggy have been massively acquired. I want one of them too, but I cannot justify to lose any big hitters yet.

      Team Now :
      Heaton / Jaku
      Baines - Alonso - Walker - (Holebas) - (Lenihan)
      Sanchez - Phillips - Alli - Eriksen (De Roon)
      Ibra - Lukaku - Costa

      Ibra didn't look well today, but WAT (H) is hard to ignore.
      Alli / Eriksen has LIV (A), but they will have STO (H) on GW26.

      Would you do any change for those bandwagon ?

        Want Siggy

        Would only really want to swap Phillips out

        No funds to do it

        Not massively keen on shipping Alli/Eriksen

        Probably gonna be patient and wait for GW28

          I can't do Phillips -> Siggy in one move too. Downgrade Ibra to Jesus can enable it though.

          Anyway, not keen to lose Phillips who certainly has match on GW28 though.

        Your team looks quite similar to mine. As you already know, I think about losing Eriksen and De Roon for Siggy and Barkley. That way you are on the bandwagon, you aquire two players with no blanks (so nice for GW 28) and Barkley has SUN when Eriksen has STO.

            I've just done it. Tbh, your team is better than mine.

            Yours> mine because:

            Jaku > Pickford
            Costa > Benteke
            Alli > Antonio
            Walker > Evans.

            So don't know if you still have the funds for the 2 moves I just made (I had 1.6 itb), but if you do, I'm a) jealous and b) supportive of the moves 😉 I own Ibra too and I wouldn't ditch him with WAT coming up.

        Thoughts on Morrison as a cheap player with decent 26 and 28?

            If there was no blanks i'd probably go Mkhitaryan over Hazard but an extra GW26 blanker is a step too far.

              Can you do Stan to snodgrass. Else tolerate a 1 pointer from him. That's the problem with cheap 4th MFs. Shifting out requires 2 transfers.

        Very tempting.... RMT thinks I'll be 12 points better off and have exact money to make the move tonight
