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

    As a Lukaku, Mkhi and Jones owner, I'd take 0-0 to be honest.

      As a Lukaku, Mkhi and Pogba owner, a 0-0 would most certainly not be good enough.

    Pardon the ignorance but when you use a wildcard, can you only do one set of changes? Or can you use it all gameweek to continually make changes.

        So If I activate it early in the week, I could potentially catch point risers early and get rid at the end if I don't want them. If that makes sense..

    Everyone on here saying they wish they had captained Kane is a bit ott. There is another half to go yet. Why not just transfer Lukaku out now and put Abraham in, he scored today so must be a much better pick right?.

      Less CBI than the other defenders...didn't do much attacking. Forster made a lot of easy saves to rack up the points.

        but Ayew is pretty safe at Swansea as he's the presser in the system and does all the running.
        If he's dropped for llorente or Bony the system has to change

    Does anyone know how long Mbemba is likely to start for New?

    Guessing he is likely to go back to bench once Lejeune returns (but there doesn't seem to be a much of an update on his injury).
