Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Man United

The day’s events end at the Etihad Stadium for an encounter which could decide the fate of the Premier League title.

Manchester City host rivals United requiring a victory and three points to seal the deal.

From a Fantasy perspective, this is a rather bizarre match-up, with modest Gameweek investment in City assets and little expected of our United players.

David Silva was the most popular City target heading into today’s deadline, claiming 74,000 new owners following three goals and three assists in his last four Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku goes into this contest with four goals and two assists from his previous six Gameweek starts but having been sold by 146,000 ahead of today’s deadline, the fourth most sold overall. Some 81,000 of those managers swapped for Kane who produced just a single point today.

David De Gea is perhaps the key man for United. He is the third most owned player as part of 44.3% of squads, though he is kept in reserve by 335,000 of his owners today, making him the fourth most benched player in the Gameweek.

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

    He has made contact with the ball on one side first and Aguero stops it so his foot goes over the ball then. Was not intentional but should have been a penalty.

      Studs up. Doesnt matter if he gets only ball, the plyers or both, thats a disgraceful challenge and a red every day of the week.

        I have agreed that it was a foul, I only stated it didn’t look intentional.

          Whereas Fernandinho went in to hurt the player intentionally so is arguably worse.

      Very much agree. Unfortunate his foot basically rolled on the ball and kept it high. But still a pen.

      They don't get more than any other of the big teams IMO. Arsenal got a cheap pen against Stoke last week for example.
