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

        Injury or tactical?

  4. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    12 from 4 so far

    Poor but at least those 4 were the cheapest players in the team

  5. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Kun + Britos -> Lacazette + Alonso

    Good move?

    1. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    1. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years

      A

  7. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

      Stephens 2
      Yoshida 1

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Don't think Toshiba gets any

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Yoshida *

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Stephens to 1 and Yoshida misses out.

      3. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        That's not how it works mate

        1. Arteta
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          You're right, I'm wrong. Sorry for wrong interpretation 😳

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He gets 1 or 2? Considering 2 players get 3

      1. KingOllie
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

    3. Sedemuda

    2. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

    3. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Depends, gonna use my 2ft to get rid of kdb. Any injuries during the break may force my hand

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not yet, want to hold off till GW5 or GW6 but team needs to score above the average this gameweek

  10. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    10 from 4 with Kun(c) already played, 16 points on the bench from 3

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Eye?

  12. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is Joselu actually nailed for Newcastle?

    They have so many striker options

  13. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Kaku(c) fail 🙁

  14. Lets jump straight into it.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Mane (have no Liverpool) or Erikson (have Kane)

    instead of KDB?

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Mane, it does not matter who you already have.

      1. Lets jump straight into it.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

  15. Jason Bourne
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Yoshida bonus??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not currently.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

  16. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Surely the City game BAPS/BPS have to be finalised, Yeah??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      yes

  17. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    If I am wildcarding now and already chasing in my league is it a no brainer to get Sanchez in as a huge differential?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      May as well get Hazard too.

      1. william prunier
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Alonso such better value tho!

    2. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    3. markmcr
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      If you can still keep a balanced team

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      No brainer = oxymoronic

  18. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    So much going through Pogba and mhiki. You feel like you'll get some kind of attacking retruns week in week out. Such a strong case to own both

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. There's a case to ditch Lukaku. For me, anyway...

  19. markmcr
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    De gea better keep a cleanie with Elliots 7 pointer on my bench...

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Ha! Me too.

  20. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Is it fair to say it hasn't been a good GW so far?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      All depends if Danilo gets a BAP or two 😀 😉

  21. eamonhegg
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Will KDB go down in price tonight?
    Will JWP go down in price tonight?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      KDB has to go down, surely.

    2. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kdb definitely

  22. Mo Mané No Problems
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    KDB might fall as early as tonight.
    Who should I replace with? Have Kane, Kaku, Alli, Salah already.
    Also JWP might drop. Take a -4 hit to transfer out KDB and JWP?

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Hope you have your wc up your sleeve

      1. Mo Mané No Problems
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Resisted the urge to do it last GW. Looks like a good decision to have saved it. GW4 seems too early to play it, if GW3 was too early.

  23. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Mata offside goal

  24. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Which combo is better?

    a) Sanchez and Ayew

    b) Mane and Chicha

  25. Judeksi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Leicester is fighting hard, they are giving ManU hard time tonight. So far feeling good about Kane (C).

  26. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Mata was onside!!!!

  27. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Mbemba gonna max baps 😮

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He'll double rise in the break

  28. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Pogba misses

  29. UshFPL
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Mata was onside...

  30. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone scheduled to price rise tonight?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, that thing lies.
