Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Southampton

Gameweek 21 continues under the lights of Old Trafford as Manchester United host Southampton in the evening kick-off.

For Fantasy managers, the focus is certainly on the home side, though arguably they are fading fast as a source of Fantasy talent.

David De Gea – the top owned goalkeeper (43.5%) – has produced just a single clean sheet in his last seven Gameweeks, while Romelu Lukaku’s decline as a Fantasy asset has continued at pace having claimed just two goals in his previous eight Gameweeks.

Even Paul Pogba has disappointed of late, blanking in his two appearances since returning from injury and recording just a single touch in the penalty area in the process. We will look for more from him tonight.

Instead it is Jesse Lingard who heads into this match as an unlikely source of form and points. Deployed in a No 10 role for United, he has produced five goals and two assists in his last seven Gameweeks and was the second most signed asset ahead of today’s deadline.

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

      Not sure why - apart from not gifting them penalties like most refs do when they capitulate at Old Trafford

    If Morata had scored one goal, I wouldn't have been that mad I captained him.

    Considering quitting FPL.

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I went through the same phrase. It helps by doing your rage transfers early, I feel much better about it now

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        phase* not phrase

      2. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        So what did you do? Morata to Kane... I'll do that too, but will wait until tomorrow to see whether Kane will drop in price.

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Already done Hazard to Eriksen, doing Morata to Firmino later

    2. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Did he have any decent chances?

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I watched Liverpool game at that time. Don't know about his chances, but his team won it by 5-0... He's playing as a lone forward, so should have scored at least one.

        1. Goalosaurus
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, fair enough, its a bummer.

          I watched pool game too so wasn't sure how close he was to getting points.

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            He was subbed off after the 4th goal. He was there when Chelsea scored FOUR goals. Come on...............

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Brah my vice captain outscores my captain for 10 weeks running. Just have to suck it up and find out if you made poor decisions or if you were unlucky.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Ok, it seems like a poor decision now, but wasn't it sensible??? Chelsea played vs a very weak team. Every forward will score some goals, except Morata ofc.

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          You got unlucky. Choosing Morata over Salah is obviously not worth -12 in terms of the decision.

    4. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years

      I'm ranked 1mil. U have no idea 🙂

    5. JD @JDCochran2
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If it’s any consequence I did this

      Hazard > Coutinho
      Kane > Morata
      RLC > Lingard

      Hasn’t worked out yet. A big fat whopping -8!

      But it did take me away from Hazard as my Captain

    1. Sailboats

      Kane

      1. Kermit Special

        Have him already

    3. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Firmino for me

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        (assuming you have Kane already)

    4. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Gutted. Lost 12 points captaining him instead of SALAH 🙁

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Same here 🙁

        1. Kermit Special
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Want to sell him, but it would be for a -8. So I'm basicaly stuck:(

        2. Kermit Special

          Morata has ruined my season.

            His first month was pretty good

            1. Kermit Special
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              So was Lukaku. Now look now...... 🙁

          2. the snazzy viking
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            I loved him for his hat trick against Stoke in gameweek 6, but he's been unsatisfactory ever since

            Selling for Firmino this week I think

            1. Kermit Special
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              I have no choice, but to stick. If for free, I would do it.
