Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Leicester City

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

        There is a clear touch! You’re just saying that because you don’t own him.

      If Pogba is on pens, it's definitely Pogba for me! Has a better shot, will score more goals (especially with penalties), and plays 90mins whereas Mikhi is perhaps often subbed off... Pogba is a goal threat on corners, even though Mikhi might get assists from them... Pogba takes some direct free kicks... Pogba for me!

    Strange feeling to be happy with a Lukaku 0 when he is in my team. In my main 15-team cash league, I'm the only one who didn't captain him

      Yes I have the same feeling, the leader in my works ML captained him and although I have him too went with Kane...
