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

    Get Caroll or Lukaku instead of Rondon, and why?

    Lukaku being who he is will probably blank in 3-4 matches now, before another brace... :p

      Home to hull seems like a hold. Hull is playing much better, but it still seems like a desirable matchup for a team that needs a wake up call.

    Who is going to score the most points next week?

    Looking at getting Hazard and/or Lukaku in before the blank game weeks, but not sure.

    Current team is:

    Grant/Jaku
    McAuley Azpil Walker / M.Wilson Amat
    Zaha Philips Sanchez Alli / Davies
    Kane Jesus Zlatan

    Zlatan next week at home to Hull could be a tricky fixture considering Hull's recent form.

    Arsenal away to Liverpool could be tricky considering Liverpool's record against the top 4, but also their form is wank.

    Tough one.

    Thoughts and opinions are more than welcome.

        ZLatan at home to Watford.
        Sanchez at home to Hull.

        Better? 😉

        I have money to upgrade, but don't really want to upgrade bench defenders for zero reason.

        Or would that sort my blank weeks out so I don't have to transfer?

        Either way.

        WHO IS A MUST FOR NEXT WEEK?

        That's my question.
