Dugout Discussion – Newcastle United vs Manchester United

1,350 Comments
Share

After Huddersfield ended Bournemouth’s seven-match unbeaten run in style, we make our way to Tyneside as Newcastle United take on Manchester United at 2.15pm.

Up against a Magpies side with just four goals in their last eight home matches, the Red Devils look well-placed to deliver a sixteenth clean sheet of the campaign.

Such resilience means that David De Gea is the third most popular player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), with over 43% owning the United keeper.

Meanwhile, interest in Antonio Valencia is on the rise – acquired by over 113,000 last week, the raiding right-back has climbed to fourth among defenders.

Despite scoring just a single away goal since Gameweek 6, Romelu Lukaku is the fourth top captain pick for this round of fixtures and earns 10.9% backing.

Meanwhile, only 1.4% have handed the armband to Alexis Sanchez, who fired more shots (six) than any player in Gameweek 26 on the way to scoring his first league goal for Jose Mourinho’s side since arriving from Arsenal.

Elsewhere, Paul Pogba, Phil Jones and Anthony Martial all return to the teamsheet after being dropped at home to Huddersfield – the former two were transferred out by 99,000 and 97,000 FPL managers respectively ahead of Gameweek 27.

Jesse Lingard – subject to 169,000 sales last week – retains his spot in the visitors’ XI despite a run of one goal in his previous six league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Pogba has come out at least i hope whatever happened to him in the warm up does not hold him back.

      Could have been anything at all. Watch and wait, but if it was anything remotely serious I'd be shocked they'd risk him.

        His minutes have been managed for the last two games maybe there might be an underlining problem but i hope not.

            Tbh I think Mou was just being a cock for the Hudds game after the Spurs match.

            Definitely worth giving him the odd rest otherwise though, one hamstring tear automatically makes you high risk for a second one no matter how healed you are.

    It's idiotic to even consider making transfers before the gw is over, BGW31 info to come, teams to play in multiple competitions before GW28, etc. right?

    I should just accept losing a 0.1 here or there on a player and re-assess what can be done closer to the deadline right?

        Alonso. His drop a few days ago didn't affect me but now I will actually lose .1 value on him. Tempted to cash in and sell him but think I should avoid making any transfers until at least FA cup is played

      Because he had a twinge and went down the tunnel, very reasonable to worry about that.

          No, he was warming up, grimaced, bent over, then went down the tunnel ahead of the team.

          I didn't post about in on here, but watched the whole thing and it's entirely reasonable.

    Hey guys.
    Stupid horse question here.
    If I’ve put something on eBay and I’ve put a buy it now option and somebody meets it, why do I have to wait for the timer to tick down? Surely it can just be paid as soon as it’s met.
