Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Man United

3,022 Comments
Share

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.

    So planning on doing Tadic + Kaku --> Pogba + Morata(-4) since I have Kane and will captain him every week for the next 6, I see better value in Morata to upgrade Tadic to Pogba..

    How long before Morata rises? Have exact money for the move but UCL is here.. should I just do it now and hope for the best?

        Team is

        Alonso Bertrand Daniels Stuttner Long
        Alli Richarlson Tadic Ritchie TC
        Lukaku Firmino Kane
        1 FT

        I feel getting rid of Kaku for Morata makes a bit of sense now specially that I will captain Kane for a while now, so it comes down to who will get more points:

        A) Tadic + Lukaku + 4
        B) Pogba + Morata

    FPL RULE:
    "Assists

    Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

    If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded. Should two opposing players touch the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, then no assist is awarded.

    Rebounds
    If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded."

      This is if Micky had shot at the goalie and Kaku had scored the rebound.

        But It's not implied to who shoots at the goalie. There's a loophole in this rule. "and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded."

        1. Ramboros
          • 12 Years

          The rule also implies that an assist is awarded to the player who made the shot. Lukaku made the shot. He got the assist. Since he scored, he can't get both. It would be like giving an assist to the guy that made the pass to a fouled player in the box, who then proceeds to score on the penalty.
