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.

      Will he play tomorrow?

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years

        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

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

      Up 0.1% since deadline and still over 100% with the flag, currently.

      There's a chance...

    3. Misery Loves Kompany
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He may still go up, he very nearly did last night according to FPLStats and more will have bought today before the deadline. The red flag won’t help matters though, likely to be a lot of sellers tonight.

      • 11 Years

      cheers all

  3. Lone Wolf FPL

        Eurgh. Not every hole's a goal.

    3. davies
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Worth -8?

      Mkhi > Richarlison
      Walcott > Maddison
      Schneiderlin > Fraser
      Wilson > Ings

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

        -8’s rarely worth it! Plus Ings doesn’t play next game..

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

          Yeah would be benched

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

            WC used I take it? Could be worth it I guess..

    4. jlut
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Is Bilva + Walcott --> Dilva + Fraser for -4 too kneejerky?

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

        No

      2. paullufc17
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Do it

      • 11 Years

      "Why have I switched (C) to Kun" is gonna haunt me for the rest of the season, dammit!

    6. pakornk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bottomed

      Would you do - 4 to get in Hazard considering his fixtures aren't great next gws?

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

        I'd do -8 to get Haz. Take that

      2. Dellman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        100%

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

        Depends who goes out...

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

      Mkhi will surely fall right?

      Think my hands are forced to do mkhi to Fraser later

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

        But Mkhi is significantly more than Fraser?

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

          Would love to keep that 0.1 profit coz I'm that cheap 😛

    8. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling becoming a must have, especially if Kun is out?

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

        UCL Fantasy?

      2. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        yes

    9. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino eye injury photos are disgusting. Finger literally submerged in the eye

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years

        hand ball 😉

    10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hard to bring Hazard in for a -4 when we don't know how bad Kun is ?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He wasn't injured

    11. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mkhi falling tonight?

      1. mir
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. Was lucky not to last night

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

        According to fplstats yeah

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

        Depends on the site you're using.

    12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez goal disallowed

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

      No surprice Mendy was playing vs Fulham as he just scored for Lyon!

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

        *wasn't playing vs Fulham

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

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

            I think you got it

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              I thought he played for Leicester.

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

                He is a magician!

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

        Fraser was my 1st sub 🙂

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

          WB here so not bad too

      3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        *tumbleweed*

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

      Pogba & Jimenez > Ward & Vardy?

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

        Looks good but you can wait a bit.

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

          I have 2 FT and nothing else which needs changing.

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

            OK but no reason to rush... Wait and do them as late as possible.

            I forced my moves this GW (Wednesday evening) and later on I regret them.

            Ditched Walcott who turned out to be fit and kept Mkhi instead of doing the opposite.

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

              Very true. Not in any rush. I will wait and see about injuries etc.

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

                Good. 🙂

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

        I would think about some other move

    15. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A) Bernardo, Kamara > Fraser, Mitro (-4)
      B) Mkhi, Ings > Fraser, Mitro (-4)

      Thoughts?

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

        B

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        B

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

        C ditch Mkhi n kamara

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

          If I ditch Mkhi and Kamara:
          1) Fraser IN would mean 6.4M striker
          2) Mitro IN would mean 5.2M mid

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

            1

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

        B

    16. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Best move here?

      A) Mkhi -> Maddison/Fraser
      B) Walcott -> Maddison/Fraser
      C) Mkhi & Arnie -> Fraser & Vardy

      Ederson
      Mendy, TAA, Tomkins
      Salah, Hazard, Mkhi, Walcott
      Aguero, Arnie, King

      Stek, Wan-B, ASmith, Hudson
      Bank 0.4m, 2FT

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

        A or B, probably A

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

          With Fraser

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

        D) Europe midweek.

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Can’t afford any price movements with C so would need to move before Mkhi falls tonight

    17. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jimenez (mun) to whom for -4:
      A - Deeney (ful)
      B - King (bur) - also have Fraser

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

        Not worth -4 IMO

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

        Neither for -4.

    18. GE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Have Mkhi and Walcott, and 2FT

      1) Both to Richarlison and Fraser
      2) Mkhi -> Richarlison/Fraser
      3) Walcott -> Richarlison/Fraser

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

        Come back tomorrow

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

          Because of Everton plays tomorrow? Afraid og losing value in Mkhi though

    19. No_Mo_Salah?
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pedro to Fraser a no brainer? Have Hazard and Alonso. Annoyed I took Fraser out after injury scare...

    20. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Who do you prefer for next 5 . Will Moura keep his place?

      A) Lucas Moura
      B) Pogba
      C) Richarlison
      D) dilva
      E) bilva

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

        no
        d

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

        D then C in that order.

    21. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sarri: Hazard is expending too much energy far from goal, touching the ball too much in the middle third of the pitch. he can score 30, 35 goals if he focuses fully on the final third

      Hmmm

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

        semi

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        FPL top scorer 18/19

    22. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Was Aguero sub precautionary or did he actually get injured?

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

        A bit of both.

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

        Both.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Urgh

    23. Demel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ryan
      Alonso - Mendy - Robertson
      Pogba - Salah - Maddison - Hazard - Fraser
      Aguero - Jimenez

      Button - Docherty - AWB - Kamara

      2FT
      0 ITB

      Struggling to know what to do with the transfers.

      Pogba & Jimenez > Ward & Vardy?

      Any other ideas?

    24. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      would have to do this tonight because of price changes:

      Mkhi Kun Pedro ➡ Hazard Vardy Fraser for a -4? Worth it or nah.

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

        No.

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

        Vardy injured?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          just a knock apparently

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

        removing kun for a hit is just stupid

      4. Royal5
        • 14 Years

      5. Dannyb

        Vardy got a knock didn't he?

      6. Norfolk&Chance
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Dnt do it.

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

      8. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        alright cheers all. No hazard going forward looking likely then
