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.

    Richarlison the best Mkhi replacement? Already have Fraser.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      yes

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

      Or Pereyra

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

      yeh probably

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If Ramsey is injured then it may be worth keeping Mkhi ?

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Budget?

    6. paullufc17
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      yes

    7. Atimis
      • 9 Years

      Looks like - or Madison

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

      I like peryra and schurrle

  2. caldracula
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sorry to be a pain, does it look like they’ll be any more goals in the utd game?

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

      Might be another goal, might not be.

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

      for sure

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

      Yes imo

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      it's gone a bit end to end, Watford having a good spell. maybe one more.

    5. caldracula
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks all

    6. The Cherry Picker
      • 9 Years

      No more goals

  3. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I earmarked Maddison, Ramsey, Ozil and DSilva for my Mkhi replacement. Glad I went with DSilva, he's so great to own.

    What happened with Leicester today? Anyone at the game?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Reality check

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        for sure!

    2. paullufc17
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      the end of Wes Morgans career. Evans will come in against huddersfield and that will be it

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I'm surprised Evans isn't starting already. Was at OT in GW1 and Leicester looked really solid. Maybe they thought the Bournemouth game would be easier than it turned out.

  4. Son is Rising

    For those upset at their gameweek, spare a thought for number 2 in the world, who will likely be dropping out of the top 1k tonight...

        He still got 3 too go

    6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wow!

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

      The baffling thing is how that team got to #2 in the first place. Classic example of lower profile players bringing home the big points. In FPL you don't always need star names.

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

        NVM, triple captain Aguero GW2 was a massive part of it actually!

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Just early variance, not baffling at all.

    8. rdpx
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's only there because he's played his triple captain and bench boost already.

      It's going to take a while to sift them all out of the top 10k!

    9. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's got Kun but caps a defender 😆 . Deserves to drop in rank

    10. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Playing both Neves and Jorginho over Jiminez seems madness

    11. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A bot team perhaps?

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

    Staring at my henn n awb's 15 points on bench is sickening.

    Haz (c) to ease the pain

    1. J T
      • 8 Years

      Your hen plays fpl?

      1. theroadrunner

      I had hennessy wb and fraser on my bench 🙁

  6. Gerd Mueller’s thighs

    Will Shaw return / start next week? Looks better than Young for sure.

  7. The Mastermind
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Have Pedro and Mkhi... what to do!

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

      Keep Pedro sell Miki

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

      Keep Ped, sell Mkhi

    3. Cassius Clay
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      keep pedro sell mkhi

    4. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sell Mkhi only

    5. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      sell Micky Mouse

    6. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I’m keeping Pedro for now, Miktarian already gone for Fraser. What a disappointment after a good start....

      At least Now I don’t have to sweat whenever I need to spell his name!

    7. polis
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Unless Rambo's injured you'll probably want to move Mkhi on. Loads of options at the price.

    8. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Get very drunk and do something crazy.

    9. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      WC or just Wally to Richa?

      Patricio
      Mendy/Alonso/Robo
      Salah(c)/Mane/Pedro/Wally*
      Kun/Zaha/Wilson

      Hamer/WB/Billing/Peltier

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

        Latter

        Peltier next

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

        Wally > frasrr and Mane > Haz
        ASAP

      3. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        to Fraser

      4. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Mane in for a hit can backfire vs Saints and already have Wilson from BOU tho

    10. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mané and Walcott to Hazard and Fraser with 2 free transfers before Hazard rises in price tonight? (Keeping Salah). (Keeping BSilva for now but may become Richarlison if not next week then following week)

      A Yes
      B No

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

        A

      2. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Have Mane, not Salah......hard to pull for Mane with the selfish play.

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        B. Crazy selling Mane before SOU

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

      Did anyone on here in Top 10k bring in Hazard for Salah and captain?

      Didn't have the bottle to do it but credit it to anyone who did could be a season defining move.

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Too early for season defining talk

        1. JogaSemmedo
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Perhaps but could prove to be a huge rank boost obviously coming weeks will tell too

    12. GianniBanani
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Cant decide between Maddison and Richarlison as a Mkhi replacement. I really dont want to make a swap after next GW.

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

        Everton are usually poor at the Emirates

        1. polis
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Arsenal are also often poor at the Emirates.

        2. GianniBanani
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Pros to bring Maddison instead Richarlison:
          - Maddison set pieces taker (I know Vardy was off today)
          - Maddison's next fixture is easier
          - bandwagon incoming

          Cons:
          - Richarlison good performance during IB
          - considering Wilson > Vardy GW10
          - Leicester looks more chaotic in creation to me

    13. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Guys, I cant decide. Ive got 2 free transfers, was thinking of just getting Fraser for B.SIlva now before any price rises & keeping 1 FT until after the midweek games.

      Sensible or just still wait?

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

        Fraser?

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

          Yes, who else? :-/

      2. TyroneGAA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Seriously

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          yes mate, why?

      3. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Sensible

      4. Cassius Clay

        7 years, 7 months ago

        wait

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Problem is we will lose him if we don’t go up, maybe even January. Best player we’ve had for years

      • 8 Years

      Evening gents.
      Was not able to watch the games today, what happened with Aguero? Injury or tactical sub?

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

        Looked like an ankle problem.

      2. The Cherry Picker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No it didn’t. It was tactical. Classic ‘pretending it was a knock’ behaviour.

      3. WoofWoofGrrrr
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Injury. Jarred his knee landing awkwardly from a headed chance. Tried to run it off but had no choice but to come off. Didn'y look bad though. I'd guess he'll be grand for next Saturday

    20. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mikki ->

      A) Moura
      B) Richarlison
      C) Fraser

      Cheers

        Any of these.

    21. semiconductor
      • 11 Years

      I'm an Auba owner and was giving him last chance this week and switch to another big hitter. After Hazard hattrick, looks like a good option. However, checking fixtires,

      1. Hazard has Liv and Mun
      2. Mane has Che and Man city (salah owner
      3. Auba great coming 5 fixtures

      Should I keep Auba until fixtures ease for other 2?

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

        Depends on your view of Auba'a potential over Haz. I'd ditch him to fit in Haz though

      Aguero and Firmino both yellow flagged in my team. Ugh.

    24. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Everyone getting Richarlison, have you guys seen Eve away fixtures after Lei?.. I will also get him but then i'll also get TAA to rotate for those away games..

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

        Most will reassess on WC after that game.

        1. Shah G
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Most won't have a WC..

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

        You're just asking for trouble rotating him. Get him or don't.

        1. Shah G
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          But I want him for the home games.. He wont get hauls in those away games, Trent can easily outscore him..

      Have to say I'm happy with this Nox player thing, lets you get mobdro on your laptop and quality is fine, better than any streaming sites I could find.

      Just rage WC'ed after considering it last week, choosing not to, and seeing all the players I would have picked score this week!

      How does it look?

      Patricio (Stekelenburg)
      Alonso, Robertson, Mendy (Shaw, Wan-Bissaka)
      Hazard, Mane, DSilva, Richarlison (Billing)
      Aguero, Mitrovic, Wilson

      0.2 in bank

        Looks awesome. You won't be getting Haz hat-trick again, though.
        Very close to rage WC myself, as I realized this morning I should have done it this IB.
