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 absolutely loathe Marcus Rashford.

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I still don't think he is all that...

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He really is

      You hate a 19 year old that you don't know? Bit pathetic.

      1. Nascimento

        How do you know he doesn't know him?

        1. Simon69
          • 13 Years

          Just a hunch, Nobert.

            Sticking up for 19 year olds you've never met is a bit pathetic too tbh

              8 years, 10 months ago

              Are you two guys REALLY good friends? Do you feel obligated to stand up for him because you're both ESN? W.B

                If you want to cry because someone's having a go at players of brand you support based in a city you've never been to, then say so. Don't hide behind the fact you're sticking up for the kid because he's young.

                1. Simon69

                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  A city that I've never been to? You're using an assumption to attempt to make a point? I don't need clarification on that ESN question anymore. Thanks buddy. P.S I think you'd love this really cool site called 'LadBible'. Right up you and your neanderthal pal's street.

                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  P.S I'm not sticking up for him. He's actually unaware that any of us exist. I've been through that already, though. See above.

                    • 13 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Midwicket.. Are you liking all of your mates posts? Do you have something you want to tell me?

                    1. Nascimento
                      • 11 Years
                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      I can tell you've never been by the fact that you're getting so upset about it. Anyway you're boring me now, and I think everyone else - I'm off!

                      1. Simon69
                        • 13 Years
                        8 years, 10 months ago

                        Upset about what? You have to be more specific when you're attempting to make a point and you can't make an assumption to try to validate a point. It might work with your other ESN mates, but not with intelligent. Toddle on now like a good little boy, won't you? I wouldn't go arguing with people just yet. 1/10 - Very poor.

                        P.S Not sure if you've noticed but the pages move along so there isn't anyone to bore. You're so cute and considerate x

                        You? Intelligent?! Who told you that 😆

                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      Although one last thing - you might want to address the fact that you seem to be trying to insult people through implying they're gay in one post while calling them neanderthals in the next. It's a bit ironic.

                      1. Simon69
                        • 13 Years
                        8 years, 10 months ago

                        Making assumptions again.

        I'm best mates with his mum.

        1. Nascimento
          • 11 Years

          😆

        2. Simon69
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          - Hates 19 year olds that he does know

          - Makes Mum jokes

          Aren't you a treat.

    The thing that pisses me off is if that had hit a defender it would've been Pogba goal as it was on target. No way they'd have given an OG so why should it matter if it hit Rashford? It was going in anyway and he knew nothing about it, it hit him on the back of the head!

    Rant over 🙁

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      And anyone praying they give it to Pogba is deluding themselves. McAuley's hair follice got awarded a goal last season so there's no way they don't give this one to Rash.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        It's never pog as goal because he didn't score.

        Rashford scored 😉

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      You can't re-write the rules 😆

    3. Woeisme
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      cause them the rules

  3. laplana
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Had an absolute heart attack thinking it was Jones to Pogba goal 😆

  4. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    My Draft team mids are the ultimate trolls:

    Gw1: fab
    Gw2: arnie
    Gw3: sterling
    Gw4: mane

  5. trinzoo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku has Everton next...

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Dis

  6. Gw287
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Do we think coutinho will play next week? Replacing Mané but not sure whether to go salah or coutinho

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah definitely will play. Will surely make an appearance midweek CL to get match fitness up.

      1. Ben Mee Over A Table
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Played a decent amount for Brazil the other day. Pretty sure his only issue right now is not getting transferred.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Coutinho will probably replace wijnaldum with ox replacing mane

      1. Gw287
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ok I'm going to do it!

  7. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who is GroB and anyone considering getting Drunk for 4.5m?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Seems like a pretty expensive hangover

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed, bottle of Bucky is like £2.50

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Brighton mid playing OOP, on all set pieces and had insane stats in the Bundesliga last season, creating the most chances in the league.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers Midwicket....decent pick then?

      2. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Is he on pens?

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Grob is this weeks mistake.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Avoid?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Still considering getting him just for the price rises, I'm going to be wildcarding within the next few weeks anyway so will be easy to sell again.

        2. Monkey Hanger
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          It's about the team, not the player.

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      The answer to the second part is Wayne Rooney

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ha 😀

  8. laplana
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Okay so granted, Lukaku huge captain fail this week but should we be selling? Probably to fund Alexis or Hazard right?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    2. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It's only half-time. If United can get a lead into the late stages of the game then you could be looking at Lukaku getting a goal or two.

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No.

    4. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Why fail???

    5. Nathan20
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      lol its 45 mins in.

    6. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It's half time, calm down.

    7. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He's so lazy and his touch is atrocious. I'm seriously tempted.

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Did you not know this about him before you got him in your team?

    8. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      You said Eriksen was a fail and there was only 16 mins played. Stop talking utter shite

    9. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It's been half a match

    10. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Still halfway through.

    11. Unifié
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It depends on haz or alexi performance. Wait & decide

    12. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      There are 45 minutes left yet

    13. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      The game is only 45 minutes old ?

  9. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Elliot
    Cedric Jones Alonso
    Salah Pogba RLC Eriksen
    Morata Lacazette Firmino

    Fabianski Bellerin Carroll Tuanzabe

    0 ITB & 1 FT

    Who would you cap & tfr next week?

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'd captain Morata. I'd keep the transfer too then use the 2 the week after to get Kane.

  10. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Very unlucky Pogba owners including myself

  11. Unifié
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Why Mk take short corners so often??

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not confident enough

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        More likely to be managerial instructions.

  12. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    That was miles offside

    1. Nascimento
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Doesn't apply to them

      1. Woeisme
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        YAWN

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Naah

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      At least 2 Stoke players

  13. RealSocialDads
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Willian + Lukaku -> Pogba + Morata/Jesus for free?

    Have KDB and was going to downgrade him to do Willian -> Pogba but reluctant to sell KDB now

  14. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I fear for Mkhi's minutes

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He will be dragged soon

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Why?

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hmmm should I have gone Pogba instead?

    4. Unifié
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He need to b in the middle of the park. Otherwise its a waste.

  15. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku has Everton at home next. Has anyone actually watched them today? They looked seriously bad. Lukaku captain material me thinks

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      But what about the 45mins in which he didn't get 10 goals
      Sell surely

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed, selling him for a hit immediately

  16. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Guess it's down to Mounie to save my GW.

  17. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone cobsidering Lukaku -> Aguero. ManC next 5 fixtures looks great to me.

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think Jesus is the safer choice.

    2. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      just don't trust Pep with game time.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Even Jesus could be rotated with champs league

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Tadic > GroB for free?

    1. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'd look to sell Tadic but I think that's just chasing points.

    2. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Might be my move, or Tadic + Kaku --> Pogba + Morata for me as I have exact money.. very tempted.

  19. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Kaku Willian to Pogba Morata?

  20. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    But livescore had it Pogba's goal at first. 🙁

  21. Karan_G14

    Got Jones this week. 🙂

      About the same as Leicester winning the league imo

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Not that short. See below.

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Leicester winning the league, Trump becoming president and Brexit combined.

    Good game this. If I were a Manchester team fan I know that for all the talent Pep has at his disposal, i'd rather be watching this United team going full-throttle than watching City dragging the ball around the houses in the dullest possible fashion

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Only a UTD fan would make such a comment

      1. Pacer.

      Haha full throttle?
      U obviously didn't watch city v Liverpool today.

      1. Pacer.
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I watched the whole game. City are absolutely dreadful to watch 4/5 games and today was the 5th game courtesy of Mane's early card

        1. Delph & Safety
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Hahaha your funny. Obviously not watching the united game either.

    4. Epic Fail

      Bang average so far (United fan) 2nd half is where we seem to improve

        And even a very average performance results in a game 10x more exciting than pep's suffocating trash

      I'm a united fan and you're talking shite

        Have you even watched the City games under Pep when they have not been emboldened to take the game by the dismissal of a player so early. They're absolutely dreadful. United are far more entertaining to watch imo despite lacking the quality

          Why did Bournemouth score more goals than them last season?

    UTD fans are annoying. There I said it.

      If you don't want to have to deal with them anymore you should move to Manchester.

    Terrible defending by Bailly on the goal

  26. Bialystrzelec

    I decided I need to get rid of Gabbiadini and bring Morata in, but albo there have to be other moves made to get funds.
    My current team: 2FT / 1.4 ITB
    Foster / Elliot
    Kolasinac / Cedric / Mee / Naughton / Dunk
    DeBruyne / Mkhitaryan / Willian / Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane / Jesus / Gabbiadini

    I was thinking about selling Willian, what leaves me 5.3, what is 0.1 short to buy Gross. Richarlison is also tempting, but it would require more changes.
    Please share thoughts!

      Atsu (5.0) has been decent, going forward a lot so good value methinks.

      Dont know anything about Watford but Doucoure has been scoring some good points so far and some people here have been saying they look rather good out there.

      1. Bialystrzelec
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He's mi first option with funds I potentially own, but I did't mention him becouse I wanted fresh ideas.
        I don't believe in Dacoure. He's just lucky so far IMO.

        1. Bialystrzelec
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Also, I doubling Newcastle midfield that good idea? 😀

            Not recomended haha. You still have WC left?

            1. Bialystrzelec
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Yeah, but to be honest, my team is too good to waste WC SO early on.
              Can consider changing Richie to Phillips or Richalison, but I'd rather leave him, becouse he's on set pieces and penalties.

    Foster - Elliot
    Alonso - Davies - Bertrand - YOSHIDA - 4.0
    Eriksen - Pogba - Phillips - Atsu - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Chica

    .4 ITB, 1 FT

    What to do with Yoshida? Should I go 4-3-3 with someone like Daniels (Brighton, Everton) or swap him for 4.0 and go 3-4-3 and upgrade somewhere else, maybe Phillips after GW5. I'm 0.2 short of Chica -> Firmino if I do Yoshida to 4.0.

    Still have my WC left. Comments?

    Anyone know what happens when Mane drops in price if I have him at 9.5m.

    Will he drop to 9.4 for me???

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He is 9.6 right now

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Oh he is? Then no. 😀

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years

      no

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 10 months ago

      yep

      1. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Actually no, he's 9.6 atm

    4. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Yes

    5. TheTwelfthMan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No. He'll remain 9.5m first drop, 9.4m second drop.

    Kane is the obvious captain choice for next week but I'm tempted by Pogba. Getting into dangerous positions and Everton are really bad. Probably too risky with the % of Kane captainers.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      If you don't captain Kane next GW you shouldn't bother owning him.

      1. Begbie.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah. You'd have said that to people before Burnley too though.

        I will captain him but Pogba is looking a really good choice. Bargain at 8.2 at this rate.

          Harsh!

        2. Delph & Safety
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I think Kane just needed too get going.

          You'd imagine the goals will start to flow.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Forget risk, go with who you think will score the most points.

    3. _figu

      I'm captaining Kane. Don't think Everton will be that bad two weeks in a row and Swansea home is good match up. Also in my mini league (€€€) not that many Kane owners and Lukaku is owned more. Some people might swap him for Kane after this GW, especially if he blanks 2nd half.
