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

    Anyone else stand up from the sofa and applaud their scoring FF players off when they're subbed? Just me...?

      No. I scream at the manager for taking away the opportunity of an injury time strike.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    1. Giovanni Giorgio

  11. Giovanni Giorgio

    Bottomed.
    Best 4.5 option apart from RLC and Carroll?

    1. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I'm not sure there is one.

      1. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        What about Dale Stephens. I know abolutely nothing about him but he seems nailed on and have nice fixtures. He'll hopefully be on my bench 9/10 times so it won't matter really.

    2. Ode

      Mayweather in 8

  13. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Kaku will likely be the one I drop to raise Sanchez cash. I have miki and pog so not worried to much. Dont like the squad when you have Kane, Kaku and Sanchez in it.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Ignore Sanchez for now

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Yes absolutely. But you need a plan and it dont look as pretty without one of them.

  14. CC22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    I know it's two weeks to go and an international break...but given they're both likely to drop tonight is there any reason not to pull the trigger on JWP & KDB out for Jesé & Eriksen/Alli?

    If so, which Spurs kid?!

    1. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Autocorrected Mid*

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Yes. The IB. You will be -12 by the end of it.

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        I see your point but if disaster strikes I'd likely wildcard to be fair. Got a few other players I could do with changing any way.

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 22 days ago

          In that case pull the trigger with no regret. Sweet.

    3. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Same boat here, I want to wait until spurs at least play but price drop is twisting my arm a bit

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Think I'm going to roll the dice and if it comes to it I'll wildcard.

    4. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Do it. Eriksen.

    5. Twelve years a slave
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I would do it, if it all goes wrong you can always wildcard

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. There's other areas of my team I could improve if disaster strikes during the break and I need to wildcard so wouldn't be a major catastrophe.

    6. merin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Same situation, and I popped it to avoid the price drops

  15. Sol
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Daniels owners keeping or going for Jones?

    1. CloudSky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Keeping.

      1. HALFSPACE
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Keeping ince too?

        1. CloudSky
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 22 days ago

          Yeah, for now. Some good positions today, and Bilics WestHam next up.

    30(-4) with Eri(c)sen and Kola to go. Think I could reach 45?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Sure, Eriksen will get you a lot

  17. Marcos Alonso is god
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    So I was sitting on the loo and realized what a crap decision it was to bench Mbemba- 9 points sitting comfortably as 3rd sub

    1. HALFSPACE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Dont tell me you benched Elliot too

    2. Corrine M
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Is Mbemba nailed?

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        If he keeps playing like he did today, yes imo.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Same here. Except I was on the sofa. Rubbish isnt it.

  18. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    What to do with Kompany? Not enough threat. Kolasinac any better or double Chelsea defense? Luiz?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I'm looking at kola, jones or a huge downgrade to naughton and use money in midfield

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Got Spurs and United ?

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Valencia but not Spurs. Davies or Trippier maybe

    3. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      United defence surely

    4. McEwan
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      He's on the chopping block for me. Noticed at the end of last season his legs look like they are going so he is a yellow card/red waiting to happen every game

  19. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Eriksen Salah Firmino Mane. Gotta be 20-30 points there surely?

    1. 32chickens
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      You would hope so

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      You have Firmino Salah and Mané?

      Fair play

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Kane somehow

      1. merin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Yeah, thats my only concern. Will pay close attention to the matches tomorrow.
        At least I have 2 weeks to get room, and I even avoided a couple of price drops too 🙂

  21. diesel001

    Frank De Boer in trouble. Next six fixtures do not look good

    bur, SOT, mcy, mun, CHE, new

    1. Frozen flying mammoth
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      You talk very frankly about Frank.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      When you state you will play the "Ajax way" you are always doomed.

  22. A.T
    • 16 Years

    Pogba excellent today. He's like a man reborn.

    1. Marcos Alonso is god
      • 9 Years

      All thanks to Magic Mat helping him in that Cdm role

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years

      Could be on pens now too

      1. A.T
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Here's hoping.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      He was great but needs to get more on target or pass it.

  23. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Looking at the stats from today in the members area, its clear why KDB got into the bonus without doing anything. Imagine how often he'd get them if he actually started assisting!

  24. Pigeon
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    Just did Lukaku > Costa for a hit

    1. The Cloud Watcher
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sure you did...

    2. Siggy in the Middle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      No you didn't

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Noce move. Why not sign Bale next?

      1. Pigeon
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        He's not in FPL! Silly daddy

    I know he hasn't scored well but how has Gross been playing?

    Need a replacement for JWP and Gross has great fixtures for the next 3.

      No idea on today but not scoring vs 10 isn't great for Brighton.
