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.

    Watford are bad. Dgw plyers might get only one game. Another City attacker might be the transfer next week.

    Everyone focusing on Spurs attackers this week when City host Watford. Could be a 5-0 that one

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Are you gonna captain a Man City player?

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

        Maybe if Kane is still doubtful

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I already got in Sane this week with that in mind.

      Got Sterling too.

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I genuinely think we're going to see an awful lot of people grumbling about their midfields after this DGW. So much fixture congestion, rotation, cutting minutes.

    4. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Just 5

  6. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Miki leading the BAPS
    Maybe the worst player on the pitch

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wait for clean sheets to add

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

      Nah worse player on pitch got KO'd

  7. QueefParkRangers

    Any1 got the averages so far?

    1. Epic Fail

      5.5 inches.

        sorry mate

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Don't be sorry. I'm not that too far off, only a couple.

      2. XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years

        😆

  8. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you remove for dgwers

    A Hazard
    B Morata
    C Firmino
    D Coutinho

    Pick 2 or 3.

    1. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A and B

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      AB

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Firmino too? Likely not to start after playing 90"

        1. Drosiah
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I’d keep Firmino personally

    3. Drosiah
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A, B

  9. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    FH active ... 1st Draft (0.7 ITB)

    Adrian
    Cresswell | Ota | Maguire
    Mahrez | Son | Alli | Arnie | Sterling
    Kane | Aguero

    Ryan | Okazaki | Robertson | Yoshi

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't bother with the extra cash on Okazaki and Yoshi, make them Quaner and a 4.0 and use the funds to get Alonso instead of Maguire

      1. GAMBIT
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Or even Ryan tbh

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

      Mahrez to Sane.

    3. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah nice.

    4. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I would get Lanzini over Mahrez and ship cresswell out

    5. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No Salah?

    6. Jive Turkey
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Needs Salah

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        back next week ... can have a rest against Burnley

    7. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks for the feedback ... might as well spend all the money and have enough to cover any player I want
      Using 3 city slots but Sterling/Sane and Kun/Jesus will be decided on Monday
      have doubts about Cresswell so could consider Lanzini, though think Mahrez gets points

    pope
    alonso jones duffy

  13. Dele

    6 years, 5 months ago

    I don’t watch United because they bore me. What’s Pogba up to these days, I really believed Jontys 7pts per game stat.

    Cmon Pogs pull your finger out!

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You listened to Jonty? That was your first mistake.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years

        🙁

      2. Jafooli

        😆

    2. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Watching the game as an owner and disappointed. Pogba is sitting as deep as Matic and jogging between the boxes, rather than sprinting forward from deep when United are on the attack.

      Has been in the box a few times, but am looking to ship out after his game.

    3. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Time to play your own game then. 😉

  14. Kushal

    Would you do daniels > masuaku (-8)
    Or just bench daniels

    Got kane alli and son (-4)

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years

      Prefer Ogbana

  15. 007 [RoboKlopp]

    Kun + Haz -> Kane (if fit) + Sterling
    Yes or no?
    Thanks.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      And play Morata?

      Give it a day.

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Plus why lose Aguero, esp if he starts vs Whatshite.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          That Kane guy maybe.

          1. circusmonkey
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Obvs assuming you have him already.

  16. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    6 players for dgw
    Adrian, Masuaku, Arnautovic (West Ham)
    Alli, Son, Kane (Spurs)

    for -8? worth the risk?

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      wouldn't be bringing in a West Ham defender for a hit.
      rest depends on who you already own and who you want to take out.

    2. FPL Mentor
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

  17. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    alright, confirmed haz to arnie...

  18. Pedro's snacks
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard, Zaha, DCL to Arnie, Son, Firmino for -4?

  19. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    De Gea
    Ota Christensen Ogbona
    Coutinho Sterling Arnie Alli Salah
    Kane DCL

    Subs: Elliot, Crouch, Robertson, Mbemba

    Richa Haz to Arnie Alli (-4)

    Will give me Kane Alli Arnautovic Ogbona for the DGW

    And If Christensen loses his place, getting Alonso in GW 23 after Arsenal...

    Any other suggestions are more than welcome 🙂

  20. Scholsey
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What a rank boost it could have been for the players with salah (c) if haz would have come on at 89th minute!

  21. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Couts + rlc + Morata to alli + sterling + quaner -4??
    Surely right?

  22. TorresMagic™

    Narsingh to get banned for the stomp?

    1. Wild Rover

      Dancing is an offence?

        Hello

  23. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Kane TC too risky then?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      It's risky, whether it's too risky or not depends on what happens.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Fair enough. I suppose it's an opportunity nonetheless.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He's ill.

    3. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I’m still doing it

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He'll score one or two imo. Not three or four.

  24. Pierce34
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I think I'll keep Hazard - my hunch is he'll destroy Arsenal, like last year 😉

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep hazard sell morata

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Don't have Morata 😉

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I'm back on the sofa now after the Stoke match 😀

      2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        LOL, you HAVE to say that, I think you ARE Haz! Or his agent.

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Y sell a player who will haul with a lot of fires and star players like Salah and Kane doubtful for just the sake of rage

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

      When does it end...we keep on reassuring ourselves against this punk...

      Draw the line at some point!

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed. The line is Arsenal!

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          If he doesn't haul vs arsenal i am changing my name

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        This punk didn't play today, was MOTM last game and had a shot cleared off the line

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Need to have just one from Alonso or hazard or Morata for the next 8

    4. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Honestly a baffling time to ditch him. After a rest and in a big game

      Good move to keep. West ham will go ultra defensive and everyone will be left with garbage

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        If you say so.

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Big players guaranteed to start next match is gold dust at this time of year. Why swap that for uncertainty?

  25. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    There any benefits to using your Wildcard this early?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You get to change your team for free if it's currently a bag of shite.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        It's not a bag of shite on paper, but there are now a good few value players that could strengthen my team elsewhere.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      6 DGW players for free.

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not free you need rid of a few straight after

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Or if they don’t play both games... which is surely a risk with Spurs.

    3. Scholsey
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      NO

  26. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    CHOOSE ONE alternative:

    A: Hazard, Richarlison & Tomkins -> Son, Arnie & Ota
    B: Hazard & Richarlison -> Son & Eriksen / Alli
    C: Hazard & RLC -> Son & Arnie

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B

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

        Why?

  27. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    couple of quick questions:

    1) Who to get rid between Gross and Richarlison? Gross has higher involvement, better fixtures but richarlison stats are ridiculous compared to gross
    2) Alli or Son or Eriksen? ignoring price
    3) Best whm def cover? ogbona, masauku or adrian?

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

      1: Gross
      2: Eriksen (least rotation risk)
      3. Adrian (Save points)

  28. Jafooli

    Naughty 2pts very welcome.

  29. tisza

    do we have a % for how many Haz(c) had Salah as (vc)?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      200,000 apparently 🙁

      1. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

    Would you do Morata ➡ Firmino?

    Also funds RLC ➡ Arnie

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No

      1. the snazzy viking

        Why?

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

      I would
