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.

      I'd say probably not. He had some negative momentum and all the other premium strikers scored so people might not feel like they need to switch.

    Is Valencia, Salah, McBurnie > Wimmer, Gross, Kane -8 worth it? Would leave me with:

    Forster (Elliot)
    Bertrand - Wimmer - Hegazi/Stephens (Mee)
    Alli - Mkhi - Brady - Gross (Tarroll)
    Kane (C) - Lukaku - Morata

    Man Utd badly need a natural winger who can cross the ball, this one position will cost them the title. Jose has one of the tallest teams in the EPL and CL but no-one good enough to cross the ball and make use of their height.

    I'm just going to write this out because I've posted my potential WC team 4 times via imgur and I've only got one reply

    Current team (3-4-3):

    Foster / Myhill
    Valencia Stephens Daniels / Suttner Hunemeier
    Mane Pogba Ramsey Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini

    WC Team (4-3-3):

    Fabianski / Elliot
    Mendy Kolasinac Davies Daniels Dunk
    Eriksen Pogba Gross Atsu Carroll
    Kane Morata Firmino

    Would rotate Gross, Atsu and Carroll every week and also rotate Daniels and Dunk.

    Thoughts?
