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.

    Starting Rashford, Lukaku and Martial... Mourinho will be parking the bus against even the weaker teams in future.

    Imagine he’ll be furious. Newcastle having some decent play.

    Gone 11 weeks without Man Utd defence.

    I get DDG on my WC, so naturally he concedes a goal!

    1. GertJan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He'll be a good pick long term, especially with the upcoming fixture congestion.

    2. ★Kuntheman★

      Could be out for six weeks. Walker is my exit plan, I suggest Azpi or Christensen for others

    Zlatan to come on later, a volley from 45yards and the other an equaliser via an over head kick down by the corner flag. That's how Zlatan rolls.

    Fabianski
    Walker Jones Mee Daniels
    Sterling Richarlison Salah
    Kaku Kane Jesus

    Subs: Elliot, Tarroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    Think its high time for bench changes... start with Chalobah to RLC?

    1. Lets jump straight into it.

    I think a template midfield is forming:

    Salah - Sane - Hazard - Richarlison - RLC

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I have 4/5

    2. La Gazzetta
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Will Surman ever get any consideration?

    3. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Had this for the last couple of weeks:

      Salah - Silva - Hazard - Ricarlison - Carroll

      Got the funds to do Silva > Sane or Carroll > 5.0 but don't really want to use a transfer on any of those.
      Think Silva looks great.

    Kane(c) Hazard(v) but at least I don't have to worry about bringing in Hazard.

        Not sure but need to replace Stones. Any early ideas?

            Think I had him a few years back and didn't end well..

    2. CFC96
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, situation with Luiz is still unclear but returned to the bench today, I would say that he is safe for the short term though as we are finally playing well and not leaking goals so conte is unlikely to rotate

      1. CFC96
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        if up to me he would though, but he also has competition with rudiger whom i didnt mention

      2. Edge
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Ta, there goes my easy way of freeing up Hazard funds.

  27. CFC96

    all of a sudden, united vs brighton isnt a great fixture, glen murray to cause lindelhof chaos

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Jones will be back

  28. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years

    If Newcastle win this, Benitez will be the first manager to beat Mourinho with 3 different teams.

    Crazy

    Have Kane for his all blanks ffs, never got his points and missed out all Morata points.

    Kane to Morata no brainer? Dont tell me WBA next or something, I captained him vs Burnley Swansea Palace at home, uselee

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Captain Kane next week against a really poor WBA side who try to park the bus but nowadays just get a flat tyre and fall over

    2. MFC86
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I think Kane blanks too often for his price tag. Yes he can explode but so can the cheaper options
