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.

  4. arndff_
    • 14 Years

    My gut tells me to go with Eriksen, not Alli.

    1. Better Call Paul
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Erikson is the better option

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      2 GW points are telling you to go with Eriksen, gut tells you to go with Alli.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Always prefered Eriksen tbh

    3. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Eriksen is the better pick imo

    4. skriniar
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      dele

    5. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years

      Eriksen always

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    That Lukaku pen miss shows that this game is 70% luck

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Seems rather arbitrary

    2. Better Call Paul
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Nope. Just a really really good save

      1. TooDifficuIt
        • 9 Years

        no

      2. Jakarta

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Wasn't terrible, but wasn't great

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      87.6% of stats are just made up.

    Need some help in my WC team:

    A) Gabbiadini
    B) Lanzini
    C) Ramsey (already have Sanchez)
    D) Other 7.1m option?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsey if he looks good tomorrow

    2. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      C. Ramsey's underlying stats are strong.

    3. skriniar
      • 8 Years

      phillips

    4. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years

  8. Respect My Authoritah

    Looking forward to Liverpool v Arsenal tomorrow. A lot of players I'm keen to scout

  9. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Matt Ritchie to drop tonight?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Probably, but hopefully that assist saved him

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Hoping for the same

  10. Olivier Bernards watch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Right, difficult question. I have 2FTs and planning KDB and Dann to Eriksen and Jones. Do I

    (1) do both tonight in order to catch Jones' rise and avoid KDB's drop
    (2) just do 1 (if so, which one)?

    My concern with the first option is that it leaves me with no free transfers to deal with injuries over the international break. Any thoughts?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I'd just gamble on 1 tbh

    2. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      have same dilemma with KDB - don't want the price drop but then using one FT so early in the international break is a bad move as well

    3. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers. I'm also leaning towards (1) and then maybe taking a hit later on if needs be since I also have TAA who could be shipped to a more reliable back up.

    4. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Eriksen plays twice during international break. Wait for more info at the end of next week..

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      KdB to Eriksen if you have to do one. But he's yet to play. So that's a worry.

  11. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    KDB owners are you selling now to avoid price drop or holding till end of international break?

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Will consider binning him of tonight for Hazard or Sanchez

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Selling now. Thinking Spurs double up by bringing in Alli to help Eriksen.

    3. Better Call Paul

      My knee is jerking

      1. French Gooner

        it's jerked for 3 weeks with kdb

    4. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Hold

    5. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Hold, many injuries during international break!

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      There's no regrets there. His defenders did equally well or better.

        1. PÍE
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          That's 1 pt more than my bench

    2. Hot Fuzz
      • 9 Years

      is this your team?? 20points on the bench wow man....

  13. diesel001

    8 years, 5 months ago

    Pundit of Punts - fair play to the lad - sold Lukaku.

    1. HALFSPACE
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      for who

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        the big hauler hernandez

        1. HALFSPACE
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          bad move

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      How fair play? He got very very lucky. Penalty miss and all. He got in Chicharito who 'hauled'.

  14. jimmy12

    So gutted
    Forster (11) and Naughton (12) on bench

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Forster?! Only yourselfto blame there. Unlucky on Naughton

  15. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Would you WC this team?

    Foster Elliot
    Kolasinac Stephens Daniels Suttner (Long)
    KdB Eriksen Salah Gross (T.Carroll)
    Lukaku Kane (Quaner)

    0.0 ITB, 2 FTs

    Cheers.

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, KDB TO Silva or Mhiki and then Quaner to Abraham. Leaves you money itb to upgrade Gros.

    2. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't. Kdb out for mkhi/pogba/Silva and gross upgraded and you're good

    3. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      No I don'y think so. Get rid of KdB for Pogba/Mkhi and maybe upgrade Daniels to Jones/Bailly.

    4. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers both.

  16. Better Call Paul
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    KDB owners is going sideways to David silva a good idea? Still feel I need cover and don't have room for aguero/Jesus?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard or Alli for me

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      If you already got yourself Eriksen/Mane/Mikhi

  17. Pigeon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Do I keep Dann going into the ITB?
    If his price drops I can't upgrade Foster to Pickford

  18. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with Ritchie (6.0) and Willian (7.0)?

    Midfield includes Eriksen, Pogba and Carroll

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      hold for now

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Ritchie. Willian out if Hazard is back

  19. HALFSPACE

        My view? Hopefully our Board isn't as kneejerky as this FF community...

        2 games in and people calling for him to be sacked... Chill and go smoke something, smh

            True and I don't see that as a totally bad move tbh, I'll have more of a view once Lanzini, Antonio and Little Pea start playing together, don't think all three have been on the pitch together yet so we'll see...

            Nice wine that, I do like a Merlot meself but as there's no alcohol I'll just have to take my own advise 😆

    Fairly content with my WC but look who I transfered out

    Suttner 7pts Daniels 7pts Stephens 7pts Atsu 6pts Jesus 9pts ➡

    Jones 7pts Bertrand 6pts Davies ?? Hegazi ?? Hernandez 1pt

    Loads still to play but the odds on Newcastle win n Daniels scoring just wow

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Newcastle win was pretty likely imo

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Both teams with poor form agree but 3-0

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 5 months ago

    Why does Lukaku always shoot for the same corner taking pens? Mug

    1. WDT
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Because it's easier to open your foot and use your instep to shoot on the side of your dominant foot.

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

      Lukaku innit.

  29. TooDifficuIt

    KDB to Richarlison now and Tadic to hazard or mkhi later
