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

    So many one-footed players….

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Harsh on Mata if Rashford on for him. Mkhi been far worse IMO.

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Rashford for Lukaku?? :p

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Harry Maguire must be worth £75m+

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

          1. SC not pearls before swine
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah, he's definitely finding his way into my team soon. He looks great.

            GW7 looks best time to invest for me

        2. markmcr
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Mahrez looks so good, hope he stays at Leicester

          Seriously attacking Utd lineup now... a goal coming at one end or the other imminently

        4. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years

          Lacazette is currently on -53. How likely is it that he will drop before next gameweek if he blanks?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Very.

          2. Champione
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            depends on how Kane and Firmino perform tomorrow

          3. Tcheco
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Perfect if he does for people looking to get him vs. BOU

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Looking at Lukaku Willian to Lacazette Pogba but 0.1 short 🙁

            Arsenal might start with Giroud. Liverpool cannot defend set pieces.

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Lacazette on the left then surely. Well dont think Giroud will start anyway but if they do, Lacazette cant be benched

          Pogba been quiet this half

          1. Rainer
            • 9 Years

            Playing the KDB role to free Matic.

          Mahrez almost fully clean breaking Blind's ankles there. Dangerous stuff

          I was doing so well before this game with Jesus, Atsu, Elliott and Danilo. Pen miss hurts so much

            • 10 Years

            Captain him?

          Transferring Lukaku to Kane, may well be a stroke of genius, been bricking it all day that Lukaku would punish me ...

          Leicester closing down out wide, seemed content to wait for the cross in the first half.
