Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Leicester City

The today’s proceedings culminate at Old Trafford now as Manchester United welcome Leicester City in the 5.30pm kick-off.

Jose Mourinho’s side are heavily favoured after serving up back-to-back 4-0 wins over West Ham United and Swansea City.

Three goals in his first two league outings for the Red Devils means that Romelu Lukaku is the top captaincy pick for the third Gameweek running.

Over 1.7m FPL managers have handed the Belgian the armband, up against a Foxes side that have conceded at least two goals in five of their seven road trips since Craig Shakespeare took the helm.

Both Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have also been subject to heavy investment – indeed, the pair have outscored Lukaku’s 19 points, with 23 and 21 respectively.

Meanwhile, Jamie Vardy will be looking to build on his two-goal haul at Arsenal in Gameweek 1 and end United’s run of consecutive shutouts.

Over 161,000 FPL managers sold the Foxes’ frontman after he failed to find the net at home to Brighton last weekend.

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

      Since his EO is still under 100% (but only just) I'm not too fussed. So some points but not enough to make me wish I'd captained him.

      Not paying too much attention to mini leagues right now, only in one public cash league and just hoping I make my way to the top over the course of the season naturally.

      I think it's way too early/knee-jerky to write off Chicharito yet. Being a poacher, Chicharito tends to look underwhelming if his team is poor, and yet despite how poor WH were, he still managed to find an excellent chance and nearly scored in the first half. Only a last-ditch save by Elliot and Clark stopped him from scoring
      Gets a decent home fixture against Huddersfield next GW. Would be shocked if Huddersfield keeps a 4th CS in a row (although I'm sure we're all shocked that they've already kept 3 CS in 3 games)

        I never wrote him on, tbh. And his hammy will go soon.

      Any chance Watford, Brighton, West Ham, Huddersfield & Southampton goals will be added later?

      Didn't watch the city match

      Was kdb playing deep again? If so, keepers can't complain about luck. Bad choice to keep a player who played so deep in the first 2

      In FPL draft, if you line up 3 waivers, if they all go thru do u lose 8 points? Or do you need to ok them before deadline?
