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

    At least Lukaku has high ownership so we all fail together

    1. Jairzinho

      8 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t worry. They always score 4 after 80 mins.

    Why is Lukaku on penalties? Poor record AND he generally goes only one way. Not a pen anyways...

    1. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He's greedy for goals. Always tried to take them over Baines before Koeman stopped him.

    2. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He was going to beat a man utd record. A goal in each of the first three games...
