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

    Any chance DDG nicks a bonus? Do they even add BPS on for keepers after the game?

    1. TorresMagic™

      • 16 Years

      Probably not.

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      3 - Schmeichel, Valencia (33)
      1 - Jones (31)

  9. evilfish

    Worse GW ever!

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

    Score check? 34 post BAPS with Foster, Davies, Eriksen, Willian and Firmino to play. Lukaku(c) let me down.

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

      34 with Kane C, Eriksen and Firmino.

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

      13pts (-4). With four to play.

      Beat that suckers!!

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

        Damn.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      39 with Hegazi, Alli, Salah, Kane (C)

      1. bojack
        • 9 Years

    4. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 11 Years

      40 with Foster and Kane (c) to play

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      31 with Lukaku (C) over Kane. Daniels benched for good measure too.

      In truth I know its such a decent score but it could have been so much better.

  11. Ruud van Kane
    • 14 Years

    Who's the most nailed Southampton defender? Need to sell PVA before he drops

    1. JustPark

  12. JustPark

    Well done Lu(C)aku

    1. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years

      Safest captain they said.

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

        Glad he's my VC.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          same

  13. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I don't understand the bps. Schmeichel only lost 3 bps for his yellow card at the end. I swear it always seems like my attackers lose huge amounts of bps for cards...

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

          Thanks. Thought might have been something like that.

      2. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        winning goal

    3. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Do you mean Rashford gets 3 extra for his goal being the winning goal? If so that means he'll push Jones out of the bonus points? Hope not.

  15. twoplustwo

    Need Harry to do work tomorrow

    21 from 6 ffs (-4).

    Kane as captain to come at least, along with Salah, Mane, Davies, and Dawson.

    Not the best of starts to the season.

    1. diesel001

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

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

      Bailly does not hit it.
      Pogba does not hit it.
      Lukakus ghost does not hit it.

      Mikhi corner - Mikhi assist.

      Stop dreaming 😉

    3. shaunyjames

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

      so who dp I get rid of kdb for?

      Foster
      Cedric | Trippier | Jones | Lowe
      Mooy | Salah | KDB | Eriksen
      Lukaku | Kane

      Elliot, Mee, Carroll, Quarner

      1. shaunyjames
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Has to be Mikhi, releases funds too

      2. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Mane imo. Could do Pogba too, then Salah for Mane when you have the chance and use the money elsewhere.

    5. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

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

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's my best GW so far this season:

      1. HALFSPACE
        • 8 Years

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Why did Mkhi come off? Resting or did he get a knock?

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Tactical

      2. JustPark

        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Tactical change after utd scored, can see it happening to him a lot, so I'm gonna go Pogba for KDB.
