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

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It was actually very entertaining

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        FPL wise

      You're such a City fan in disguise. I support Fulham, but you talk a lot about how much you love City and their squad.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I respect City tbf, but I'm a Fulham fan through and through 🙂

    Phew......

    That was a nerve wrecking 90 mins.

    Thank goodness for that DeGea save.. I would have been on less than 20 pts

  4. 1zverGGadeM

    KDB>Pogba failed

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nearly a far from fail though! He played really well and looked threatening!

  5. fedolefan

    Schmeichel yellow could affect baps. Get in Jones.

  6. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    That yc could earn Jones a bp

  7. Cok3y5murf

    Lukaku captainers unlucky. Savage!

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

    The week I bring in Lukaku, he does nothing... My luck is unbelievable

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep the faith. He won't score every week

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Of course, he's not leaving my team. But I chose Kane over him at the start, and I payed for it. This week took out Lacazette and look what happens. BS

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

        Plus I'm 2.3 million in the world.

    • DA Minnion (Former great)

      De gea has been my best decision so far this season.

    • jimmy12
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba man of match but no Bonus points?

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Wait til he gets credited with his assist and Mickey loses his.

        That may change bonus structure.

      2. Brap.
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You lose BPS for shots off target.
