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.

      potentially.

      cue blank (i bloody hope not)

    2. Gobigorgohome

      Exactly

    Glad DDG is back on form. Do like the guy.

  6. Monkey Hanger

    Man there are some seriously ugly away kits this season.

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

    Fraser is essential surely now - 5.6m for a player that looks capable of avg a goal and assist every 3/4 matches at the least is incredible value.

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

      Yup, my only conundrum is fitting him in now I've just wildcarded.

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

        At 5.6 surely you can just bring him in for pretty much anyone?

        Can't argue he's value.

    2. Pratik
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'd resist the word essential just like people said of the Holy trinity at the back who made just 4 points between them 🙂

      But for his form, price and with a great set of fixtures I don't think you can go too badly wrong. I'd get him but not for a hit.

  8. Revival

    Thought that was going in, DDG rescues 3 points for Utd again

    Hazard such a troll. Glad my minus 8 for him didn't back fire too much, he looks a bit good this year

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

      You can't have thought he was that much of a troll if he was worth a -8 😉

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

        I never learn
        😆

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          me neither!

  10. Twisted Saltergater

    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    This stinks of captain hindsight, but why are people rage transferring our Mkhitaryan before tomorrow's games, when they had a fortnight to get rid over the international break??

    Numerous posts said he was unlikely to start, as did the majority of fans on the Gooner forums.

    He should be a great option, but Emery has realised that his team don't have the required work rate when starting Aubameyang, Lacazette, Ozil and Mkhitaryan.

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

      Yep kind of agree after last games 1 pointer

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      because everyone got a new free transfer today?

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

        yeah, good point. I do think some situations are deserving of a -4.

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

          Nope it was worth -8

        2. ATXHorn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I think he is better than Ozil.

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

        This. I didn't want to transfer 7m player for a hit. From this pool, only Maddison bring something back. Pereyra blank, Pedro blank, Wally to go, Moura blank, Richarlison suspended. And if you bought Mkhi for 7.0, u will lost 0.1 tv this night.

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

      Because he's falling and I'm a cheapskate?

      Other than that, getting Fraser is inevitable for me & really think my bench can cover midweek mishaps

  11. puhd
    • 11 Years

    Pedro and Kun
    Out for
    Richarlison and Lukaku

    Top10k about 45 points.

    Plenty of autosubs to come on Monday.

  16. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Had Kabasele on my bench as well... Phew

  17. Seamy
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    If Fraser hadn't scared me into a last minute sub out I'd be sitting on 87 points tonight 🙁
    Oh well.

  18. Kuyt Dirkula +42
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ederson / Hamer
    Alonso / Mendy / Robertson / WB / Bertrand
    Salah / Hazard / Fraser / Walcott / Jorginho
    Aguero / Wilson / Joselu

    2FT
    0.3ITB

    anything needs attention?

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

      Not urgent but Joselu / Jorginho.

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

    Richarlison or fraser?
    I hate picking a player after his haul
    That puts me off fraser :-/

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

      Not just about the points. Got to look at the performance that went with the points.

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

      Richarlison is still the better pick, I reckon.

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

        Agree with this.

  20. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    That final save from DDG...

    If Watford scored, who would have potentially been the score and assist?

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

    Did Bobby to Lukaku 2 mins before the deadline...

    Living up to my name 😉

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

      So a swap for a player that's more expensive who will score the same points if you'd just stuck with. Okaaay.

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

        Lol

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

    Thats probably Watford out of the title race.

  23. Ch3ckNorriZ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Whats the deal with #mendy?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Rest I think

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

      Standard rotation.

  24. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Fraser rising tonight

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nah

  25. FootyFan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone see what happened to Aguero? Did it look serious or a precaution?

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

      A bit of both.

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

      Aguero did an Aguero.

      "fittest I've ever felt". Gets a knock.

  26. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who to lose for Hazard?

    A. Mane
    B. Salah

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

      Mane for me.

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

      still stuck on keeping both this week. I know price will have a factor in a lot of ppls decisions

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

      Neither. Go all 3. The way forward.

  27. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    That performance from Watford is the best 2nd half performance I've seen from any team this season.

    Showed some real cojones.

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

      United fan, we looked by far in control of that first half but was sweating near the end. Watford have been great this season.

  28. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Poor 2nd half from United. Stupid actually. Last 10 minutes even worse. Keep losing possession.
    The performance was far from convincing.

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Watford have the best home record in the premier league since February last year. Good points at a though ground against an unbeaten team. Be satisfied

  29. I Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Did Ramsey get injured?

  30. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is Rich back next week ?

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

      Yep

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

      If Everton play this GW, yes.
