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.

    60 with 3 to go and that's with having Mane from the midday kick off! Very happy with that. What I'm not happy with is the start Birmingham have made to their season...

    Alonso,Davies,Jones,Lowë,Mmemba
    Erikson,Mkhitaryan,Richarlison,Tadic,Carroll
    Lukaku,Firmino,Chicharito

    4m itb. 1 FT don't mind taking a hit or 2.
    Preferably like to keep Lukaku and Firmino but would need a hit to fund Chicharito > Kane 1.4m short.

      Not going to make any transfers right now, but I'm thinking about the best way to fit Ben Davies into my team. I have 2 FT.

      Foster / Elliot
      Bertrand / Kolasinac / Dann / Mee / Long
      Mkhi / Eriksen / Richarlison / Ritchie / Carroll
      Kane / Lukaku / Firmino

      A) Bertrand -> Ben Davies, Richarlison -> Gross + 0.5 ITB
      B) Bertrand -> Ben Davies, Richarlison -> Choupo-Moting + 0.4 ITB
      C) Bertrand -> Ben Davies, Dann -> Naughton + 0.3 ITB

      I want to get rid of Dann but a clean sheet in GW 5 at home to Southampton is a possibility.

        From what I can understand by looking at a few teams with both Kane & Lukaku is that you have to play with 4 defenders

        From my FPL experience both personal and that of observing FPL trends over the years, playing with 4 defenders and a weak midfield never ends well long term.

        Thoughts?

            Got myself into a bit of a mess here on account of having 6m invested in Vokes. I have zero ITB, 2 transfers and am ready now to bring in Kane. Problem is I also have 3 Spurs. I need to free up .8m to move from Luaku to Kane

            The only way I see to do it is Davies to a 4.5 and Luka to Kane. Is this a bad move, can anyone suggest any other? I'm really happy with most of the team and struggling to find a way to do this...

            A. Kane (already have eriksen)

            B. Morata (have alonso)

            Kane seems expensive. Morata seems to be the focal point of a decent Chelsea team.
