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.

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

        But i have made the transfers before using my chip.

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

          Irrelevant. Acts like a WC for 1 GW

          Could make 7 transfers and then play the free hit and all those transfers would be cancelled

    2. Third Eye Vision

      Doesn't cancel a -4 either.

    Ok, Luka, from expecting a hatty, expectations have been revised. An assist will do.

    Talk about knee-jerk: already thinking of Richarlison, Abraham > Pogba, Niasse. Only way to bring in Pogba before his inevitable rise.

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

      Price locked for 7 days

    WC team :

    DDG (Speroni)
    Moreno Mee Daniels (Duffy Jones)
    Pogba Sane Sterling Salah Grob
    Kane Morata (Niasse)

    So far so good, only DDG Sterling and Kane blank with 68 pts before baps 😉

    Will probably keep lukaku for Brighton but then he's gone

    Not on the level of the other top strikers. He doesn't really make any runs, lacks movement and unless the pass is inch perfect he will struggle

    1. Fudge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      haha

  10. Ron_Swanson

    Aguero, Ramsey + 4.5m mid

    to

    Pogba, Hazard + £4.5m striker

    What do you think?

    Would be 8 point hit. I'd like to leave it a week but worried I'd then miss out due to price rises.

    Thanks

    What does everyone mean by pogba price locked?!

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It means his price can't be changed for 7 days.

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Because his flag went from red to clear, his price won't change this week

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Did not know that was a thing.

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Means his price will not rise or fall for a week.

    4. MTPockets

        "When a player is injured (0% chance of playing), suspended or unavailable his price can still change in value. However, once his status has changed (to fully available) his price will be "locked"."

      Embarrassing from United fans to literally worship a player whose ego and lack of pace resulted in a 6th place finish

      With so many viable midfield options, at what point does playing 5 midfielders become an option? Particularly given how erratic all the CFs have been.

      Salah, Sane, Sterling, Hazard, Pogba, Richarlison, Ramsey, Zaha all consistently delivering.
