Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Man United

Saturday’s events conclude at the bet365 as Manchester United bid to reclaim the Premier League top spot with a victory at Stoke City.

Jose Mourinho’s side are awash with major Fantasy talent as Romelu Lukuku heads into the match as the top captain pick for a fourth successive Gameweek.

Over 179,000 (37%) back the Belgian with the armband who is under pressure to deliver after goals from the next three most popular picks – Harry Kane, Alexandre Lacazette and Alvaro Morata – earlier in the day.

Paul Pogba also boasts a swell of support. Owned by 1.8 million (37.5%), he wears the armband for over 203,000 managers this evening.

Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan goes into the game as the most signed midfielder ahead of Gameweek 4, having claimed another 236,000 owners.

With Ander Herrera recalled to the Man Utd starting XI, it could be that Pogba is shifted up behind Lukaku this evening, with Mkhitaryan starting wide on the right.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          I know, but I'm just glad to get any points and this is turning out to be a good week for me.

    Is that not an assist?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No assist there.

  4. MikeDuff

    Surely common sense prevails and that assist is given

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Pity about the rules

    Why couldn't he have finished that first time

  6. Taking the Mkhitaryan

    Cue the "already done Kane for Kaku, should i get kaku back for -4"

  7. fedolefan

    Damn, that was nearly so good as a Lukaku, Mkhy owner.

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Might as well get another there, Rom Rom.

  9. Jairzinho

    Pretty happy with that.

    Lukaku owner non-captainer.

    Mickey non-owner.

    This is why I think Utd are favourites for the Title!

    Don't play great but will just grind out results!

      If they carry it on for the next 3 or 4 games after CL has started they certainly look favourites

      Grecians at the top too!

  22. Top 210 Club
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    How is that not an assist? Only the keeper touched it? No other outfield player from stoke?

    1. Top 210 Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Have rules changed?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        No, just your reading ability

          I'm watching the game? That's always an assist If keeper saves scorer shot and get goes again always been assist in the past? Watched football since '92 and father was a professional footballer..

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            But it was Lukaku who's shot was saved, it would be an assist if it was Mkhi who shot

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Seems I've not understood for 25 years... For some reason thought keepers saves didn't count against the situation lol at me. Sigh

    Rashford runs like a Ford but is super Rash!

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Cringe

  24. tm245
    • 12 Years

    I normally like greedy forwards but not when they don't pass to Lukaku.

  25. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford thinks he's Messi?

  26. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Ohh F off kaku , y not finish it with the first pass and let mkhi owners rejoice the assist

  27. Frank Black
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Mkhitaryan not getting assists is just getting ridiculous, haha. Sorry Mkhi owners for cursing him by putting him in my team.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I thought you had gone
      That was the quickest break from FPL ever

  28. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    That was pretty annoying as a mkhi owner and lukaku non capper

  29. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    No mkhitaryan assist is correct but very harsh.

    Micky completely free

    Rashford dribbles into 2 defenders
