Dugout Discussion – Sunderland vs Manchester United

1,534 Comments
Share

The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 1.30pm this afternoon as Sunderland welcome Manchester United to the Stadium of Light.

The most popular captaincy choice for Gameweek 32, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been handed the armband by 15.7% of Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of a visit to the basement-dwellers.

Encouragingly for his owners, the veteran delivered his highest haul of the season against the Black Cats, with a goal and two assists helping him to 15 points back in Gameweek 18.

With eight fixtures remaining in the final six Gameweeks, including a double Gameweek 34, the likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan can play their way into our plans for the run-in today.

Those holding the hosts’ Jermain Defoe will be buoyed by the absence of David de Gea, who misses out for the first time this term with “a little problem, according to his manager.

Meanwhile, Antonio Valencia’s 17% owners are left frustrated yet again, as the Ecuadorian is omitted from the squad for the second match in succession.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Wasn't aware of people picking him. Certainly the cheapest nailed defender, I got him a couple of weeks ago as a compromise between Davies and Walker. Has worked out well but I'm considering selling so I can triple up on Spurs attack. Doesn't give much attacking threat.

    is anyone tempted by Anichebe at all for their 3rd DGW striker? the possibilities it opens up in midfield in particular are pretty stellar.. Had a tinker and I managed to get a Haz/Sanchez/Alii/Erik/de Roon midfield with Kane and Ibra up top. Maybe something like Alli/Erik/Walcott/Haz/Sane as well looks pretty tasty and covers all those DGW teams nicely.

      The downside is you have to play Anichebe or de Roon every week. Fine for GW34 maybe but there's no way I'd play de Roon ever.

      Brought him in on my wildcard this week - allowed a team with Sanchez, Zlatan, Aguero, Alli, Eriksen, Sane, Zaha, Alonso, Valencia etc.

      And fitness permitting, he should be pretty nailed and central to any (slim) chance Sunderland might have.

          Downgrading Kun to Kane soon probably.

          Gives so much flexibility to switch between big-hitters and stock-up on quality players.
