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

          Jones not nailed for Long (guessing) when UCL group stages commence in a few weeks time

            He's fine for another month as suspended for the 1st UCL game

    Schmeichel is going to break the record number of saves.

  3. The Royal Robin

    Pogba's obviously got a bet on himself taking 50 shots vs Leicester.

    Lol classic Jones

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      What happened, did he get injured or something?

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        Tried to

      Ran into Simpson...bounced off 🙂

    Pogba looking hungry this game, will be surprised if he comes out with nothing...he has a point to prove this season and as a Pogba owner I'm very excited

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

      I agree, his stats from last season suggested he should be scoring a lot more. "let ze horses run"

      Dabbing won't get you points

    Pogba beefing up his stats to get in next GWs scout picks!

    1. POGBA CALLED
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Lol was thinking same. Scout picks next week would say he has had 50 shots he is essential.

    Looking at a potential WC activation, to preserve/build TV as well as shift back from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3... thinking something like below?

    Foster
    Trippier, Cedric, Hegazi, Mee, Mbemba
    Hazard, Mané, Pogba, Phillips, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Tammy

    Quite funny hearing Leicester chanting, "You're sh*t AAAAAHHH" after DDG took the kick. You only get that from Championship clubs or clubs that have been in the Championship in recent years 😀

    Jones is going to injure himself much sooner than later

  12. Davido989
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    He actually has 'Boom' shaved into the back of his head.

  13. Cok3y5murf

    This is going nowhere. Mourinho needs to let the horses run free

    1. Mark-O
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      Fellaini won't come so early

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

      Shouldve hit him back, wuss.

  14. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 22 days ago

    If Jones gets his 3rd clean sheet today surely he is as good as nailed for a while?

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

      Mourinho is very fond of Jones. I'd be much more worried about him getting injured than dropped

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        You have a point there

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 22 days ago

      I think Mourinho might drop him, as too many clean sheets can be bad for overall team morale

      1. Mark-O
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 22 days ago

        -9999
