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.

    1 FT
    Regardless of what Lukaku does in the 2nd half of the game.
    Thinking since I will be captaining Kane every week for the next 4-6 GWs might be worth doing this

    Tadic + Lukaku --> Pogba + Morata(-4) have exact money for this..

    What do you guys think?

    1. Oven Glover
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad

    2. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same here.

    3. _figu

      Sounds smart. Never liked Tadic in the first place.

  2. the snazzy viking

    Please Lukaku. Save my GW.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How can a player owned by so many possibly save your GW?

      1. the snazzy viking
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If he's my captain and if only 2 of 9 people above me in my ML have him as captain too

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Touche.

  3. Ady87
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The guy I sit behind at the top of our work cash ML has Vardy, Morata and Rashford as a front 3.

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You'll be sitting behind him for a while longer then

  4. thomashl

    Bertrand to Bavies or Tripp?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bavies

  5. VFORVANDETA
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who need to go first Tadic/Willian or both?

    1. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both, probably

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both, I'd move Tadic first.

  6. OPTA FPL
    9 years, 1 month ago

    @ Jaf: Tadic to Choper Moting

  7. Flynny
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not impressed with lukaku.

    Doesn't have the movement of a top class striker

    He is effectively static waiting for the ball to get to him

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 1 month ago

      But...he scores

    2. Woeisme
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How many goals would a top class striker get in a season playing for Everton?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not a lot

  8. sunzip14
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Yoshida to Wimmer or just turn to Cedric?

    1. Royal5
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Southampton collapsed without him today. Don't be surprised if he's back next week.

      1. Begbie.
        9 years, 1 month ago

        More likely that VVD is back next week though.

  9. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What's the point of Lukaku and Valencia?? Absolutely dreadful players.

    1. KingNidge
      9 years, 1 month ago

      About as much point as you right now

      1. TheBusDriver
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who the hell are you?

        1. KingNidge
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Your da

  10. ScotDougie
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I said Lukaku will start a barren spell this week over the next few looking like it may come true, it's a game of two halfs though fingers crossed for a blank

    1. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A while ago I said I would end up at the Kane V Lukaku crossroads, think I'm there now and will just go with Kane.

      1. ScotDougie
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I sold Lukaku this week for Morata just had a gut feeling it's not over yet but he played Swansea and west ham in only two games he got points so far , really need a blank sorry fellas

    2. Woeisme
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Prophetic!

      1. ScotDougie
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No just a gut feeling

    3. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I just hit my WC too!

      Gonna nick Kola.

      At the moment I've gone Firm, Morata and Kane up front.

      I did have Salah, in pre WC team but can't be asked with him.

      Have you noticed midfield options are dire? Only a handful of teams give options.

    4. Rash
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Waste of a wc imo

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    1. FPL.team

      Obviously, there is no budget on draft?

      1. Fifa las vegas
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Still not like you can pick everyone you want though?

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          My draft team is much better than my real team. Theres loads of good players to choose from

  15. Astronautovic

    Alli or eriksen after todays game?
    Even with less gamerime it has to be eriksen, hasn't it?

  16. Frank Black
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm officially quitting the FPL, it's all just a waste of time and an unnecessary frustration. On wildcard i replaced KDB with Salah: complete disaster, didn't even finish the game.

    I knew i wanted to get rid of Jones but i decided to wait one more game since his fixture was better than other 5M defenders'. Kept Bertrand and Redmond because of their great run of fixtures: disaster.

    Played Foster and Hegazi because Brighton has sucked big time until now(and it's not like there were 4.5M defenders with amazing fixtures)....catastrophe.

    Decided to keep Alli instead of getting Eriksen since Alli had been more dangerous than him....they score three goals, he gets no points....nightmare.

    Picked Mkhitaryan instead of Pogba because he's United main assistman and he's always very involved: takes a corner, Matic deflects it and ends up assisting Pogba for his goal. Lukaku hasn't done anything and even if he does it won't have any impact.

    Oh, on the plus side i kept Jesus instead of getting Firmino, that was brilliant.

      Goodbye. See you again in 45 minutes.

    2. Davido989

      It's just a game. You'll have better weeks.

      1. Frank Black
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly, it's a game, it should be fun not frustrating and stressful. Too much wasted time, watching some games just to improve your FPL team sometimes. No more, there's no logic to it.

        1. Davido989
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That's how it is. Maybe give the footy a miss for a few days and pick things up on Friday.

          1. Frank Black
            9 years, 1 month ago

            PES 2018 comes out on thursday, i'll be playing that. At least it takes skills to play that, i won't be able to blame anyone else but me if i lose.

        2. Monkey Hanger
          9 years, 1 month ago

          But remember that week when you got that top 5k OR?

      9 years, 1 month ago

      And even worse b/c it took 2 weeks of deliberation to achieve such fail.
      Yeah you're not alone - see you next week.

    11. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And next week the opposite will happen, don't be shortsighted and you might enjoy the game.

      1. Frank Black
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Too many years spent on this game, lol.

    12. GENERATION X

      dont judge a wc on one week

    13. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It's just a game. Don't take it TOO seriously.

    14. Digital-Real
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You'll be back.

    15. Torreslove
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      get your head out of your arse. stop chasing players and instead stick with the ones you have.

      gw 1 - everyone on board salah
      gw 2- everyone get rid of salah
      gw 3 - back on board with salah
      gw 4 - get rid of salah

      I can say this about every player (jesus, kane, lacazette, alli, kola, alonso, etc.)

      get a quality team out and stick with your players. Dont be a sheep. Only do a transfer when you know that it will pay off in the LONG TERM.

      For example, I am for sure going to do Lukaku --> Kane. Kane is captain material. He will score. He might blank next week because of Wembley hoodoo but then they have 2 away fixtures and Spurs have the best away form.

      Stick. with. your. players.

      1. Frank Black
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's not that i think my picks were bad....it's just the frustration of the randomness of it. Because they were actually good picks but it's too time consuming.

        1. Torreslove
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          See my Salah example above. Look at Alli's points. Lacazette. Jesus. Aguero. Kane. Firmino. See a pattern?

          None of them score every gameweek. Only maybe Neymar, Ronaldo, and Messi could. If your picks are good and your trust your gut then stick with them instead of meddling with them.

          Here's my team for this week:
          Foster
          Kola, Jones, Cedric
          Pogba, Alli, Brady, RLC
          Laca (C), Lukaku, Jesus

          I've had that front line since gw 1. I could have taken out Kola and Laca after their pool game. Or pogba to Salah after last gw.

          You're chasing points. If you do so then you will fall flat because last week's scorer wont score this week and next week it's someone different. Stick with them and they'll come good.

    16. Dušan Citizen
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hey, I sold Firmino for Chicha last GW. Sold KDB for Mane and captained him this GW.

      What should I do then?

  17. Jafooli
    9 years, 1 month ago

    See lots of veterans on here say 'go for who you think will score most points', but is that really the best strategy?

    1. GAMBIT
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you're right about who will score the most points

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not with my decision making.

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Epic and Optimus ?

      1. Jafooli

        😛 😉

    4. Torreslove
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I mean do you want to win and score points? If not then thats bad advice for you

    5. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is this a subtle way to called Epic an old man? :wondering:

  18. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Coutinho an option?

    1. El-Kloppico
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yess.. more than ever

    2. Pooodle
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not until he's playing

  19. GAMBIT
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mane, Suttner > Salah, Alonso (-4) is my plan for this week

    Will only make it after the midweek fixtures and don't mind the price drop on Suttner, yay or nay?

  20. Flynny
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who needs to go first?

    Stephen or gabbi?

    Thanks

    1. Begbie.
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gabbi. He and Southampton are useless and at that price you want someone contributing.

    2. Karan_G14
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both.

    3. Nomar
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both, it will be worth the hit.

  21. Rinseboy
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Early I know but Stephens or Bavies -4 next week?!

  22. St. Joseph
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why salah subbed after half time?

    Didn't see the match

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mane's red card made Klopp sub him to save legs for CL

    2. GAMBIT
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mane red, Klopp wanted to reshuffle and save Salah for the CL

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      Tactical

  23. Weeb Kakashi
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why are people getting rid of Tadic?

    Was just a rest
    He starts next match and doesn't look like dropping in price anytime soon!
    Also cry(A) not a bad fixture

    1. money face bandwagon
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic always promise but will never deliver9

  24. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Naughton or Mee the best replacement for Hegazi?

  25. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Don't be fool by Pogba position today. He is only higher up the pitch just because Herrera started instead of Mata.

  26. Salah Daze
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have Pogba, Mkitharyan and Lukaku with 2.7 in the bank. My plan was to use free transfer for next week, Lukaku to Kane, depending on how Lukaku does. Haven't used my wildcard yet, just using transfers as they become free each week. 38 points so far this week, but waiting to see what happens in the second half before I do anything rash(ford)

  27. Rainer
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wimmer locked into the GW8 WC!

  28. RealSocialDads
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Biggest priority to get out:

    A. Yoshida
    B. Hegazi
    C. Willian

  29. Dušan Citizen
    9 years, 1 month ago

    http://prntscr.com/gj40ud Should I WC this team?

    Or just take a hit to get Eriksen and some Ramsey replacement?

  30. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Tadic and Bertrand to Salah and Naughton (-4)?
