Gameweek 21 continues under the lights of Old Trafford as Manchester United host Southampton in the evening kick-off.

For Fantasy managers, the focus is certainly on the home side, though arguably they are fading fast as a source of Fantasy talent.

David De Gea – the top owned goalkeeper (43.5%) – has produced just a single clean sheet in his last seven Gameweeks, while Romelu Lukaku’s decline as a Fantasy asset has continued at pace having claimed just two goals in his previous eight Gameweeks.

Even Paul Pogba has disappointed of late, blanking in his two appearances since returning from injury and recording just a single touch in the penalty area in the process. We will look for more from him tonight.

Instead it is Jesse Lingard who heads into this match as an unlikely source of form and points. Deployed in a No 10 role for United, he has produced five goals and two assists in his last seven Gameweeks and was the second most signed asset ahead of today’s deadline.

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

    Anyone selling Salah?

    1. Fpldonny
      • 9 Years

      Yes

      dont see the point, would have to pay so much more to bring him in... that and he scores for fun form the bench anyway

    3. Yozzer

      Depends how long he out for. More than 2 gws then yes

      For bringing him back in with a ft next gw and loose a lot of team value?

    Sky sports app says head injury rules mean a six day layoff for Lukaku. Aguero or Jesus incoming for me. Lucky save Ddg there.

    1. circusmonkey

      Might have to take a drop before seeing City team tomorrow.

    How nailed on do we think Adrian is? His fixtures after the double are pretty good, tempted to go with him and Speroni on a wildcard, but is that a bit risky...?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could go out at any moment

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        There are some troublesome comments from Moyes floating around... hmmm. Had a nice team set up with him in.

      If your rival is Joe Hart you’re safe.

    3. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      don't really see why he'd get dropped but who knows really

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Lingard has been awful

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      His price will rise tonight regardless

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan

      Scout Pick curse.

      Or was 2016!

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      just a crap player.. always bad positioning n useless runs

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Should have stuck to the hurling.

  6. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Without DDG.. ManUtd would struggle to make top4..

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Top10.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Most teams would without a keeper ?

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Well served Sir

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Did i mention without any keeper? Romero is a great gk yet they'd struggle

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I thought DDG is a keeper, oh well. You certainly didn’t mention Romero or a replacement either 😉

          It was a joke ... chill

      Mourinho is just a continental Pulis.

    "How on earth did he get that over the bar"....he had no idea where the hell it was going...just happy to get his foot to it.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sometimes people don’t give enough credit for keepers’ positioning. It’s not luck friend

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nobody is discrediting the save. It was a brilliant save, but he ha no control over where it ended up.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          This...

        2. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I see. I thought he meant the save was lucky.

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Because that’s the narrative the media now has. At the start of his Man U career when he was a “dodgy keeper” people like Mills would have derided him for it.

      Mills is a pinhead of course.

    Long hits corner flag

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That counts as close for Long.

  9. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather get Arnie for Richarlison or Vert for Christensen?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie. Christ just ill.

    2. No_Mo_Salah?
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie for me

    3. Les Bleus

  14. Fred54

    To get Lingaard I had to sell Jones.

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Atleast they score more than Swansea. Oh w8 😉

    1. mir

      Yes

      1. mir

    8. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You should pray for 10 goals conceded so that DDG loses 5 points.

    9. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      Smart

  19. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane, Eriksen & Son too much for the DGW?

    1. jayzico
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's my plan. But my plans have failed big time this season.

  20. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So... Morata, KDB and Richarlison to Kane Alli and Son for -8? Or could just go Richarlison to Alli for ft and hope Kane is quiet? Cheers.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep KDB

  21. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    We just can’t get going. Sigh.

  22. jayzico
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Goodbye Morata.

    We had such a good honeymoon period. But you're gone now.

  23. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Was it a serious injury with Lukaku? Can he miss next match?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Head injury. Could be anything.

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      See earlier post head injury rules 6 days off apparently.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Will surely miss the next match. head injury.

  24. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…

    Just wait for 60mins to cross and watch the Jones bonus

  25. Sims

    why ban for young? did united get peno or a red for soton?

    1. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Off the ball elbow in the stomach, at a corner, not spotted by the referee...

  26. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years

    Come on Southampton

  27. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which one to hold, Haz or Morata?
    Why?
    Cheers.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      haz.
      rested, and (although we've said it for ages) due an explosion. i wouldve kept him if i could, but needed to sell to fund bringing kane in.

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Neither, both overpriced and can't deliver with the easiest fixtures. None are nailed

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This.

    3. No_Mo_Salah?
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Morata for me as I think there is more value in midfield but not many forward options. Saying that i will probably shift Morata for Kane this week.

    PoBa deserves baps for his Hollywood passing

    1. The Bandit

      ?

    2. Hooky
      • 10 Years

      He's no Shelvey

  29. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years

    Christensen flag removed

  30. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Even when United win by a few they never take a game by the scruff of the neck and dominate...it's just all a bit average for long periods...

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. When I sell Pogba for Son I will be free

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think that is also true of Chelsea. But both teams are built on solid defence and have been more successful than their philosophical opposites - Arsenal and Liverpool.
