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

1,603 Comments

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.

      I thought exactly the same when I was sat on a WC, almost followed the crowd by went with my instinct and got Doherty instead.

      He's gone this week. Only consolation is his price rises.

    Doherty is fpl god tier at this point. We got off to a rough start together with his og in GW2 but in the 5 other weeks I’ve played him it’s been 4 cleanies and 3 12+ hauls. Get this man in the Ireland team ffs

      Just checked back in after a day of surfing trying to forget not being a Kane owner... assume there were some serious scenes here?

      2 FT. In no real rush to make transfers early, but going into the next GW, how do these moves sound:

      Kane, Fraser, Lindelof

      Salah, Doherty, Jimenez?
