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

    Groß's price is about to drop.

    1) Should I transfer now, or wait till after international break?

    2) And if I'd do a transfer, who to?

    1 FT and 2.8 itb

    Forster (Speroni)
    Alonso / Valencia / Hegazi (Mee / Rosenior)
    Pogba / Willian / Tadic / GROß (Carroll)
    Kane / Lukaku / Mounié

    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.

        After tomorrow once we see Sanchez/Kane in action, do we know enough to WC? I was originally thinking that waiting until the second break would be smart, however it seems we know a lot.

        Defenses to target: WBA, MU, Spurs, Hudd, Southampton

        Midfielders: one of Alli/Eriksen, one of Pogba/Mkhy, Sanchez (perhaps), Mane as the prime Pool candidate, Cheapies like Phillips, Jese, Richarlison, Ritchie

        Forwards: Lukaku, Kane, perhaps as no one has shown themselves we just go 2 up front and 5 in the midfield?

        What are your thoughts?

        Mane or Salah in for KdB?

        Mane looked better in European games but different kettle of Fish.

        He does look worth .5 more but do the stats show that too?

          Mane, he's looked electric and much more clinical.

          I did Mane, mainly as he's about to rise in price.

        Too much to ask for another Alonso brace?

        Think KDB needs to go tonight, not keen on losing value.

        So, what do you think of these replacements:

        A) Hazard: plan to get him in the near future, but unsure on fitness and fixtures aren't great
        B) Ozil: good stats but questionable whether he can turn stats into points, would likely ditch after GW7 for Hazard
        C) Alli: own Kane and Eriksen so would be a triple up
        D) Mane

        Thoughts?

          Probably Mane especially if you have no Liverpool.

        31 from 6 played
        26 points in the bench from Elliot Carrol Suttner and Mbemba

        Given the choice I would probably play the same team again 🙂

        What's your worst quality as an FPL manager? Mine would have to be my lack of patience.

            No tactic. Always start with a plan then just wing it.

            Its difficult to answer because I've come to realise all the traits have their advantages/disadvantages at any given time.

            You need to be stubborn, take hits, follow the crowd etc. just all about timing.
