Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Spurs

28 October 2017 1786 comments

The Gameweek begins at Old Trafford and a big clash between Manchester United and Spurs which, in Fantasy terms, has been turned on its head by Harry Kane’s injury.

The striker has been sold by more than 750,000 managers ahead of today’s deadline following the revelation of his absence from this match. Son Heung-min is trusted with leading the Spurs attack in his absence against a Man Utd defence which are yet to concede in a home match.

Jose Mourinho’s tactics will be pivotal to today’s outcome and the potential for Fantasy returns. United have set up to mirror Spurs three-man defence with Eric Bailly returning alongside Phil Jones and Chris Smalling. It remains to be seen if this signals the intention to attack the visitors, promoting the prospects of both Romelu Lukaku and the returning Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Lukaku goes into this match on the back of successive blanks with his remaining 52.4% ownership desperate for him to produce today with a Gameweek 11 trip to Chelsea up next. The Belgian has been sold by over 314,000 managers ahead of today’s deadline.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Cheers guys.

    I don't mind captaining defenders when there's nothing sticking out.

    Remember captaining Ashley Cole when he got a a clean sheet and a goal.

    Not having the best of seasons but managed to get Kane captain last week which helped no end.

    Couldn't see anything else sticking out..

        Because Kane wasn't playing, limited options guaranteed to play - looking at you Jesus - and captaining someone who gets no points gets 2 or 3.

        Utd haven't conceded a goal at home this season so took a chance.

        Yeah, Jesus could score a hattrick but I didn't even know if he was going to start...
