FPL managers expect win and clean sheet for Man United against Newcastle

Paul Pogba (£8.1m) will be the Fantasy Premier League focus of Saturday’s late kick-off, amid rumours over manager Jose Mourinho’s future.

The Manchester United midfielder is the most popular player in the fixture as Newcastle United visit Old Trafford. He is currently in 14.7% of squads.

He recently overtook Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m) whose ownership suffered from the switch to Harry Kane (£12.5m) for Gameweek 8, who blanked in a 1-0 win over Cardiff.

Meanwhile, there will be interest in the Man United defence with Newcastle’s recent struggles in front of goal.

David De Gea (£5.9m) remains the most fashionable Red Devil defensive asset, in 19.8% of squads, but Luke Shaw (£5.1m) may prove the more effective.

He has 10.5% backing from the Fantasy community and looks like he could also pull in some attacking returns.

Newcastle are still a club for the Fantasy hipsters, with no player boasting more than Joselu‘s (£5.0m) 4.8%. However, the striker has not started the match with Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) and Yoshinori Muto (£5.7m) preferred up front.

MANCHESTER UNITED XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Smalling, Bailly, Young; Matic, McTominay; Martial, Pogba, Rashford; Lukaku

NEWCASTLE UNITED XI (4-4-2): Dubravka; Manquillo, Fernandez, Lascelles, Yedlin; Kenedy, Diamé, Shelvey, Ritchie; Pérez, Muto.

      rubbish - Sanchez has been poor for 18 months at least at Arsenal as well as Utd. One goal today doesn't change much.

      The athletes are so much better than the 'celebrities'. The current ManU psycho-drama is gripping! As fantasy players, we get dress circle seats.

    ok so holebas it out as not earning his cost at min, possible improvements
    periera - 5.1 seems to be playing lw
    doherty - 4.6 points galore at min
    jonny - 4.4 still points just not as many as doherty at min.

      Doherty is playing very well but some potential tricky fixtures but his value is undoubted.

      Newcastle really really bad.

      They had Pogba playing CB. How on earth they let this slip I've no idea. The atmosphere was so toxic.

        This.

        They never should have let Utd back into it. Teams like Wolves and Brighton would have shut up shop snuffed out any semblance of a Utd comeback.
