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

    Tim Sherwood suggesting Mourinho should bring on Rashford at LB...so when Leicester break it will be Mahrez vs Rashford on their right flank....interesting suggestion Mr Sherwood...I think we know why Mourinho is the United manager and not you.

    Is Britos now protected from price changes that he got a red card or does it only work with flagged players due to injuries?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Protected when flag removed. More transfers out needed.

    KDB is due to fall as per fplstats, how accurate do you think it is?
    Need to ship him out today if that is the case
    .

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      He's very likely.

      • 11 Years

      He will fall when mark sells him not until then. Mark has 2 ft so expect it anytime coming week.
