Lukaku leads the Man United line as Rashford benched

Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) has the potential to turn around what has proved to be a rotten Double Gameweek 34 so far, but only for a selection of managers.

The Manchester United striker, owned by just 4.4% overall, has kept his place in the side after disappointment against Barcelona midweek.

With more shots on target than any other player in their last four Premier League matches, he is chasing his 10th goal against West Ham in his 11th match against them in this competition.

His power as a differential option in Double Gameweek 34 has been made stronger by the fact that Marcus Rashford (£7.4m) has been named on the bench in order to keep him fresh for next week’s Champions League second leg.

He is joined among the substitutes by centre-back Victor Lindelöf (£5.0m), Phil Jones (£5.1m) coming in for him.

With Luke Shaw (£5.0m) suspended Marcos Rojo (£4.9m) starts at left-back, with Diogo Dalot (£5.3m) filling in for the banned Ashley Young (£5.7m) on the right.

Former Manchester United forward Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.1m) leads the West Ham attack today with Marko Arnautovic (£6.8m) missing out thanks to an illness.

Man United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Fred, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Lukaku, Martial

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Balbuana, Masuaku, Rice, Noble, Lanzini, Anderson, Snodgrass, Hernandez

      Hhaha if F Anderson would score now, that would be the nail in the coffin...

    What happened with Doherty? Tactical sub or injury?

    1. HollywoodXI

      Tactical. He was exhausted. I was at the game.

    Best GK & Striker for DGW35? Excluding Aguero & Jiminez

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Leno & Laca

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Foster and Deeney

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I am looking at Laca or Firm.
      GK maybe Foster.

      Bmouth vs Fulham is the obvious one now.
      But always fail to meet the expectations after such a haul

      Lloris, Deeney

      Honestly would be tempted to get Wilson instead of a DGW player tho

    Best Southampton defender to bring in for dunk/duffy ?

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Yoshida if you must but don't get any of them. I'm probably benching Bednarek too since I won't be BBing. They barely keep clean sheets.

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        I'm Bench boosting so favor a Southampton d ahead of dunk/duffy

    2. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Valery by far. I watched the match live and he gets forward the most.

        cheers

    The best both Brighton and Cardiff can do is to end their upcoming game 0-0

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I reckon cardiff may win 1 - 0

      1. dark91

        That is fine too 😀

    I'm going to check the lineups on Tuesday and then just watch Champions League - I'm not self harming like that again.

    If Utd go on like this and dont qualify for CL I dont think Ole's restructuring and purchase plans are going to have much interest from prospective transfers.

    Was confident with Lukaku C and Martial before game but I swear Rom is playing rw

    18pts from 8 players so far with WC.

    Would have scored 31 from Wilson and Fraser alone if I hadn’t bothered.

    Where the fk did a 0-5 away win come from?
