Luke Shaw (£5.1m) missed out on a place in the Manchester United squad to face Watford in Gameweek 5.

The left-back has reportedly recovered from the concussion he suffered playing for England last week but manager Jose Mourinho has refused to take any risks with him.

Former Hornet Ashley Young (£5.8m) takes his place in the United back-line alongside Chris Smalling (£5.8m), Victor Lindelof (£4.9m) and Antonio Valencia (£6.5m).

Watford are unchanged from the side that beat Spurs in Gameweek 4.

There will be plenty of attention around Jose Holebas (£4.8m) and Roberto Pereyra (£6.3m) who have both made excellent starts to the season.

WATFORD XI: Foster; Holebas, Kabasele, Cathcart, Janmaat; Pereyra, Capoue, Doucouré, Hughes; Deeney, Gray

MAN UNITED XI: De Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Young, Matic, Fellaini, Pogba, Lingard, Sanchez, Lukaku.

        Weird week. Scores between mid 20s to high 90s being posted and you’re above average so should be good.

        Fwiw, I'm on 62 with 2 left. I'm including current bonus.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Current mids: Salah, Fraser, Mkhi, Gudmundsson, Gunnarsson
      Current fwds: Aguero, Firmino, Zaha
      2FTs, 0.6itb

      Mkhi is out, and I'm targeting Hazard, obviously. That means one of these has to make way. Which one to drop?
      1 - Aguero
      2 - Firmino
      3 - Salah

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Firmino to Mitrovic/King/Wilson

      2. Pinturicchio10
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Got to be Firmino once Aguero isn't ruled out

          1. GambO
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Aguero rested for CL maybe ?

          7 years, 7 months ago

          1. XabiAlonso
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Has done well but he doubled up on Fulham attackers with Jimenez on the bench

            1. Hot Fuzz
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              he doesn't really care atm its working for him. i think he's gonna take top spot after this round with all the chips intact pretty impressive imo

            • 14 Years

            He's certainly nailed every important decision so far in the season...

            1. Hot Fuzz
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

            thanks very kind,have you though checked this guys team out?

      7. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        If you are getting outranked by people who still have Man Utd defs then you should take up knittng instead.

        1. Podge
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          A lot have DDG

        2. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Im higher than you with De Gea. What are you going to knit?

      8. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I can see some monster scores up here, and yet FPL discovery says 45 is top 10k average after baps. Is it that low bc of low hazard ownership or?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Top 10K template struggled, autosubs are high too.

          1. Silecro
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            So.. 60 with Walcott may not get me such a huge reds as i thought it could, well, cheers TM

        2. J T
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yes and high Salah ownership

        3. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yep plus poor performance from RAM and Salah/Mane

      9. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Feel like I need Hazard but just looking at Liverpool & Chelsea's fixtures, it feels like a bit sideways to get him in for Salah/Mane

        Hazard has - whm, LIV, sou, MNU, bur.

        whilst Salah has - SOU, che, MCI, hud, CAR.

        hmmmmm

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Forget about fixtures if you're getting Haz or Salah

          1. 1justlookin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            True but Ive currently got Salah & Mane though, would you get rid of one of them atm to bring in Hazard?

      10. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Lingard to fraser yes or no?
        Lingard has WOL next

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Or richarlison?

        2. Pinturicchio10
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Definitely.

          • Hulk Smash
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Richarlison if he picks up where he left off

        3. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          That Watford goal is good for Kaku BAPS.

          1. Dannyb
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Watch Gray get max baps now lol.

        4. thomashl
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Should I wildcard?

          Patricio
          VvD Mendy Alonso
          Salah Mané Mkhi*
          Aguero* Mitro Ings*
          (Speroni* – Cairney* Walcott* Peltier*)

          * = flagged or not playing

          Feeling forced to WC here.

          1. thomashl
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Should push the button tonight to get Hazard and sell Mkhi.

            1. J T
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Salah Mhki > Hazard Dsilva

              1. thomashl
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 7 months ago

                Not that keen on selling Salah... hard to get him back in

          2. BooYaKasha
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            YES

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Hold I’d say. There will be worse situations than this, later in the autumn..

            1. thomashl
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              A lot of players killing me (no Haz, no Fraser, Mkhi not playing...). Was considering WC during the internationals but thought my team looked too good. Would have killed it this week

        5. Lyonnais
          • 13 Years

          Foster, Fabianski

          Salah, Mane, B.Silva, Pedro, Walcott
          Aguero, Mitrovic / Kamara

          A) Use 2 FT
          B) 3 transfers for -4
          C) Wildcard

          No Alonso, Hazard, Maddison, Fraser, D.Silva
          B.Silva, Pedro, Walcott all need to go imo.
