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.

    Is Bavies still a good option? What about Rose, if/when he returns soon, how will Poch rotate them?

    If WC intact Bavies could be added now and if rotated later on you'll have your WC ready

      If I were you I'd just be grateful that the Utd fans you know have heard of Herrera.

      You ask them round these parts to name 3 of their current squad and they start with Cantona, Keano and then start stuttering...

      I think what I'm going to do first is the Mane to Eriksen move, and see how I feel after the United game. Say Lukaku blanks, I will wildcard. If he doesn't then I most likely won't
