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.

    Guys, is it really worth getting rid of Salah???

    1. Jar Jar Winks
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      why get rid of him?

      Lord no. Surely you have value locked into his price?

      Just bench. It's the busy Christmas. You will get rotation, rested players and knocks.

    7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      No way

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        They're saying that if his injury is anything serious. Of course it's not getting rid of the best player in the game with a load of money invested.

    9. jackhammer1
      • 9 Years

      No unless we get info he's out for weeks

      • 10 Years

      I bought at 9, not a chance of selling unless he's out long term. Even for a dgwk spurs mid

  2. Ginkapo FPL

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Needs to be a strike from beyond midfield

  3. Cok3y5murf

    United so shite. Selling Lingard immediately

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 3 months ago

        1 game punt. Should have just played D Silva.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Same here. 1 game punt. Thought I'd keep him but they're struggling at home vs Southampton

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Jones or ddg best united def to get

      1. Jon Bones Jones
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        DDG

      2. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years

        Jones cheaper

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          DDG nailed and has save points.

      3. jackhammer1
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        DDG if man u start getting clean sheets. Otherwise he is not worth the money compared with pope and pickford.

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Would you rather:

      A) Fabianski Verthonghen Azpi
      B) Lloris Christensen Azpi

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

        B but do u really fancy Lloris. Not for me

      2. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        B

    4. mdm
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Arnautovic or Alli for the DGW? (Already have Kane and Son). Thanks!

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years

        Arnie for me

      2. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Arnie better for mid term and money

    5. JayC
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son defo to start both games?

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        No but I think he’s explosive enough to haul in one game and good at that price.

      2. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Lol. None of them are defo to start both, son least likely

      3. jackhammer1
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        100 per cent

    6. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Captained Morata over Salah

      1) Is it a bad luck?
      2) Is it a stupid decision?

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Bad luck

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I'd agree with 5-0. On another day he'd have bagged two. He's a good player.

          1. Kermit Special
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            He is terrible(Morata Captainer) 🙂

      2. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Bad luck I was so close on making the same move but wanted 2 ft for 22

      3. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Bit of both. Could easily have gone the other way, but Salah’s been on awesome form. Morata hasn’t.

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Agreed about their forms point. But Chelsea scored FOUR goals, so...

          1. Jairzinho
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Five! Bit of both, as I said.

            1. arndff_
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              I meant they scored 4 goals when he was on the pitch. The fifth one came after he was subbed off.

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

        1)

        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        After learning to know Salah for so many games now, I think the answer is obvious.

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Is it?

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Yes, by looking at his consistence, explosiveness and form compared to Morata’s.he’s scored 166 points compared to Moratas 94 and keeps on scoring

            1. arndff_
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Did you watch both games?

              1. RamaJama
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Nope, but actual points counts 100% more than stats

                1. arndff_
                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  The truth is Liverpool had a tough game vs Leicester, while Chelsea won with ease. That was my point before the games too.

                  Also, Liverpool tends to share the points between Cout/Firm/Salah. Today it was a different story.

                  No point in talking anymore imo.

                  1. RamaJama
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    8 years, 3 months ago

                    Agree on you on all these things. ‘Stupid’ way to harsh, but that’s the way you set up the poll. Just my opinion that Salah has shown himself to be Salah very often, and that Morata not always tend to score even against easy opposition.

                    1. arndff_
                      • 14 Years
                      8 years, 3 months ago

                      Okay. Cheers!

                      And so much on here is luck and everyone’s favouring of certain players

      6. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        1 - scored a hatty on his last Stoke outing. I did the same.

        The mix of ownership and benching has certainly punished non-(C)-ers though 🙁

      7. Dokdok666
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Whenever Salah has a good game, just captain him. Looking more dangerous than kane imo

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          This

      8. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Well I was telling everyone to go with Salah myself. Not a bad decision but going with the player who can't stop scoring was probably in hindsight the correct move

      9. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I feel its always better to go with the huge ownership of Salah as captain and be happy if Morara does well (enough of a dif to own).

      10. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Luck, in the same boat tbh. Cheers mate.

        Bad luck.

      12. CRO KLOPP
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I captained Salah but if I had Morata would be him definitely,

      13. mdm
        • 14 Years

        2

      14. E25
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I don't own morata but with Salahs ownership I'd say haz/morata captainers were trying to be too clever.

        1. E25
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          As well as unlucky!

        2. arndff_
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Didn't try to be "too clever". Thought Chelsea game would be an easier one. And I was right about it.

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Agree with you on that one.

            1. arndff_
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Morata played as a lone striker, so it was normal to expect a goal or two from him. That's it.

              1. E25
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                So it wasn't a stupid decision? Lol

          2. E25
            • 10 Years

            So you think you got unlucky and posted this for others to confirm and make you feel better?

                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  One. My DGW players will be:

                  Ogbonna, Arnautovic, Kane and a Spurs mid

                  1. CRO KLOPP
                    • 8 Years
                    8 years, 3 months ago

                    That's more than fine,you weren't lucky,it could be Morata Hattie ,look ahead, plenty to play for
                    Good luck

                It's just amusing when people ask a question for affirmation and then argue when they get a view point they don't like.

                  Okay, I'd delete my comments, but don't have this kind of rights. Will know I have to shut up next time. Sorry.

      15. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years

        Bad luck (fellow Morata captain) think Morata would have hauled if Hazard had started rather than the likes of Willian and Pedro

      16. mir
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Bit of both really. Could of gone either way. Personally though both would get double digits.
        If chasing Morata was the right call.

        1. arndff_
          • 14 Years

          Nope. I was into TOP 1.5K.

      Looked bad, very bad. I think it's a concussion or a fractured skull. Has to be, no other explanation for that Mkhitaryan performance.

          Also thinking of doing Fabianski to Adrian but maybe -8 is too much.. Okay Adrian has two games but is he nailed...

      Man Utd are so bland. Such a shame to see their reputation for exciting attacking football dripping away.

        That’s what happen when they have Mourinho as manager

          And his 18th century football.

        Inflated stats due to the 4-0 wins against poor teams at the start of the season. Anyone who watched them last season would know it wasn't sustainable and would revert to awful football, unless you were a Utd fan.

        That reputation went years ago. Mourinho, the dinosaur who the game has passed by, is continuing the great work Moyes and LVG started.

        Substitution, Huddersfield Town. Danny Williams replaces Collin Quaner because of an injury.

      Considering Gomez isn't 100% nailed. Should I drop him for Masuaku? (-4)

      Doesn't Masuaku play in the mid?

      Should I take a -4 hit to get Kane in or is he unlikely to play against Swansea? Currently own Haz & Morata and need to ship one if not both

      DDG
      Jones - Ota - Alonso - Kenny - Ogbonna
      Salah - Sterling - Haz - Son
      Morata

      Speroni - Richarlison - DCL - Okazaki

      Fair play to non Salah owners, well ahead of the curve for one away game against Burnley.
