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

      Because Sky has to show every team a minimum number of times each season and by showing West Brom v Stoke play each other it helps gets them nearer their quota for both of these teams that nobody actually wants to watch.

      Nobody wants to watch West Brom

    RTY SÁNCHEZ Fantasy Football Scout Member4 mins ago
    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? I would easily like to take a -12/-16 to sort out my team, and compared to some it's not that bad. Makes me want to go for it.

      My squad above. Personally not bothered about Kane. At his price he needs to score 250+ pts a season. Can't see it myself.

      Thing with Spurs is their attack is basically made up of 3.5 players - Eriksen, Alli, Kane and a bit of Son. If you have two of them you will score a lot of points IMO. I have gone with Alli and Eriksen myself as I can easily see them getting 200+ pts each and that is a bargain for under £10.0m each.

    So KDB is leaving my team shortly, I'm bringing in either Pogba or Mikhi. Pogba is involved in a lot of Utds play, nailed on and is in form. Mikhi isn't quite as involved, but plays off Luka and is also on form. Slight concern is he may be a rotation risk. So my question is, which one? I really am torn

    Not sure how the price changes have been this season so far. So keeping that in mind how likely are JWP and Fraser to escape not dropping tonight. I hate doing transfers before a gw ends

    Losing 0.2m on both of them right now is more like losing 1.0m at this early stage

    So Kane (C) could be a nice differential tomorrow with 1.7 wavering to Lukaku.

    Does everyone have their fingers on the transfer button for Hegazi? Playing sublime but with Evans staying or Sakho coming in plus another centre half (as Pulis wanted another). On top of that, McCauley will be getting a few games when fit, I can see him loosing his place come the end of September. Made us all a nice bit of profit to use elsewhere though!!

    To improve elsewhere or buy another premium defender and bench suttner?
