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.

    bottomed

    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

    Heaton/Elliot
    Alonso/Bavies/Ward/Hegazi/Smith
    Alli/Eriksen/Pogba/Mhiki
    Firmino/Lukaku/Vokes

    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...

      Kane Lukaku JRod

      JRod is of course a problem, I can't see an easy way out though tbh, 2 free transfers and 0.8ITB

      Thanks all

        Same boat as me, will be interesting to see if JRod can bag against the Hammers though. If not then i'll defo get rid.

          You are probably in trouble.

      I don't necessarily NEED to WC, although I'm not doing particularly well - but I do think the best options at each price point have announced themselves now, although I'm probably wrong (question marks over Coutinho/Suttner):

      Elliot (4.0)
      Kolasinac - Bavies - Cedric (Naughton - Suttner!?)
      Eriksen - Coutinho!? - Pogba - Ramsey - Choupo-Moting
      Kane (c) Morata (Quaner)

      A 4.5 keeper would be better, but not sure who I'd downgrade..thoughts?
