Saturday’s events conclude at Old Trafford where Manchester United host Newcastle under lights.
From a Fantasy perspective, there is huge interest in this final game with Romelu Lukaku once again the most popular captain pick for a tenth Gameweek in 12.
Almost 1.4 million (26.4%) back the Belgian with the armband, despite the striker suffering significant sales ahead of today’s deadline. More than 122,000 will be hoping that their decision to sell goes unpunished against the Magpies.
But Paul Pogba’s return is expected to boost Lukaku’s prospects: the Frenchman is fit and back in the United starting line-up. He scored two goals and picked up three assists in four starts prior to his injury.
Meanwhile, Zlatan Ibrahimovic also makes his return and is named among the United substitutes.
Phil Jones misses out, with Victor Lindelof earning his first Premier League start as Eric Bailly is another absentee through injury. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is notably missing from the United teamsheet, with Jose Mourinho confirming that his absence is for tactical reasons.
Skipper Jamaal Lascelles is sidelined for the visitors, while goalkeeper Rob Elliot is Newcastle’s most popular player on show, though 82% of his 1.4 million owners have him on their bench in expectation of United goals.
