Kane delivers 13 points for a third successive away match to reward the 17.4% of managers who gave him the armband. Now it’s over to Romelu Lukaku to step up.

It was reported this morning that the Belgian was a doubt heading into today’s clash with Crystal Palace but, presumably, he has shaken off a knock sustained in training to start.

Expectations will be high and he is backed by over two million managers with the armband – his biggest total of the season so far.

Lukaku has scored in each one of his outings for Man United, aside from the Gameweek 3 win over Leicester City, though he missed a spot-kick in that outing. He collides with a Palace defence that have conceded more goals (13) and more shots on target (37) than any other team.

Phil Jones and Antonio Valencia also start, despite concerns on their fitness heading into today’s contest. They will go in search of a sixth clean sheet of the season, though Eric Bailly is benched and looks set to miss out on that possibility.

Old Trafford is undoubtedly the main focus this afternoon, with little Fantasy interest elsewhere.

Jamie Vardy is the top owned attacker on show in the other four matches; he’s backed by 11.6% of managers ahead of his trip to Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Hegazi’s 27.4% owners will be relieved to see the Egyptian retain his start in a West Brom back four at home to Watford.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Depending on how he plays I might get Hazard in for Eriksen, not gonna knee jerk Kaku out though

    FPL is just disgusting sometimes. Swear more often than not making transfers hurts more than helps. Yoshi & Aguero out for Jones & Lukaku(C) -4 this week. Just awful.

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      To be fair as it stands Jones and Yosh will have similar points. And Lukaku will have more than Aguero.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yoshi will get 10 points and I wouldve captained Kane without Lukaku coming in for the hit. Oh wellllll

    2. Cok3y5murf

      Good moves on paper.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Did before today. 330 without xfers 369 with xfers. Not much in it after this week I imagine!

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Ha not too bad then. I'm 30 points worse off after transfers 😀

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Really? Wow I'll stop complaining then 😆

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Nah, I'll still get my 3rd top 1k finish in 4 years I think

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years

      Hard luck, could have worked on another day. That's why I don't take hits, when they don't work you feel awful

    Sigh, transferred out Jesus, for Auguero, then him to Lukaku (c).

    Had to ditch Jones to fit him in, keeping Fellaini was the saving grace.

    Jesus better blank today!
