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

      huh...they where 4-0 up at halftime against Leicester last season

      1. UshFPL
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        This Leicester is much better

    Pogba long shot

    1. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Not far off either

    Pogba getting negative BAPS for all these shots off target.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      😛

    What are Kane captainers / Lukaku owners after here? I wouldn't mind one Lukaku goal, but I actually wouldn't mind him blanking much.

    1. bojack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I just want loads of points. Preferably more for Kane as he's my captain.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Surely there's a strategic way of thinking here though. The captaincy % on Lukaku is huge.

        1. evilfish
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          No strategies available once the game week is in play.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking a Lukaku blank be ideal now given 1.7m captained him....then a Kane double figure haul

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        That would be sexy.

    3. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I want him to get as many points as possible because he's in my team, obviously

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        New to the game?

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Kaku blank

    5. John Stones
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      1 goal from kaku would do .

  5. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Will Welbeck play for England, or no, please?

    1. Guy Demel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Unfortunately he probably will.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

        • 16 Years

        Cheers, both! 🙂

  6. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

    Crapping my pants every time Pogba goes near goal. This is so hard not owning him.

  7. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Oh how some mocked the signing of Pogba. Always were going to eat their words

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He definitely proved them wrong by shooting well wide there.

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      To be fair he's played vs 3 very poor defences .

    3. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Oh the 'bantz' continues on here too

  8. dvdguy

    Schmeichel looks nervy.

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      he was on the ball a lot even 10v11. Passed the eye test for me clearly. Best option at 6m with fixtures as well

      1. JogaSemmedo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Ritchie looked very good today. Newcastle fixtures good too. I almost transfered Ritchie out for Richarlison last night mind

  15. william prunier
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Torn between Alli & pogba as kdb replacement.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Pogba. He is everywhere.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

  20. FDMS All Starz

  25. markmcr
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

  26. AC Tomasso
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

  27. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

  28. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

  29. SilkySkills
    • 12 Years

  30. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    1. evilfish
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      wow after 30 minutes. 🙂
