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.

    Re: Lukaku assist:

    The rules say:
    "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".

    Didn't see it, so is that the case here?

      You extracted it wrongly. It means that if Mkhitaryan had hit the first shot then Lukaku scored off the rebound then it would've been a Mkhitaryan assist.

    To Doos on the last page Choupo was likely to be playing striker this year and was instead assigned as a 5.5 mid. Not only that but he's very experienced player from his bundesliga days
