Dugout Discussion – Saturday

A stalemate at Turf Moor leads us into five afternoon kick-offs with Old Trafford undoubtedly the focus of our attention.

Manchester United host Huddersfield Town with the opportunity to close the gap at the top, as Alexis Sanchez is handed his home debut.

Signed by 56,000 ahead of today’s deadline, the Chilean is captained by 85,000 of his 271,000 owners for the meeting with the Terriers.

The big team news is that both Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are dropped from Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up. Owned by 911,000 and 297,000 respectively, they were the two most signed United assets ahead of Gameweek 26. Juan Mata is recalled to the XI, while Scott McTominay gets a start.

Elsewhere Callum Wilson goes into his home meeting with Stoke City as the second most signed player having picked up 224,000 new owners. He boasts four goals and two assists from his last six Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Leicester City – without Riyad Mahrez – face Swansea City at the King Power Stadium and field a very attacking line-up. Claude Puel hands Fousseni Diabaté a Premier League debut, while Kelechi Iheanacho earns a first start since Gameweek 8.

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

    1. Deano

        Didn't captain him, but no rivals have him. Could do with a haul from him!!!

      When you most want or need it from Hazard is when he kicks you in the nuts!

    Who has sillier hair, Aubamayang or Feo? First to 3 wins.

    1. SH@KTIMAAN
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Auba

    2. LǝgleSs e|even

      Sane

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years

      Auba wins with the silliest attire also

      But hey, he can do what he wants

  5. LǝgleSs e|even

    Screw yous Kun, Ota, Jay Rod, Scouts

  6. Sims

    never seen aubameyang play, hopefully someone who takes a lot of shots. need pickford saves

  7. only2

    Clucas or Carroll? Any of em nailed?

    1. badgerboy

      Just get Ibe.

  8. George James

    Pogba owners.... keeping?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      For next few games anyway. Priority is in getting Kun>Kane for GW29... plus sorting out Stones/Kenny... also have Mcburnie 3rd sub. That's about 4 weeks' worth of FT's booked up!

  9. Deano
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    About 20 odd I think but haven’t checked.

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is Coleman injured again then?

    1. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think Big Sam is being cautious with him. 2 games in less then a week is too much right now.

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Just needs to be eased in

    3. skriniar
      • 6 Years

      rested

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years

      He is ill so didnt travel with the squad, just listened to big Sam pre match interview

  11. Speédy
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    All these signings and Wenger still manager to start Iwobi. 😆

    1. skriniar
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Wenger is old silly man in all honesty

  12. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What's the situation with Phil Jones? If he is just dropped might ship him out own DDG.

    1. dunas_dog

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not in the squad, gonna guess (and it is a guess) probably given the weekend off (annoyingly)

      1. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you. Just tought if he is dropped bcs of that own goal. That would be classic. Key player for whole season one OG and you are dropped. Maybe that's not the case.

  13. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Only Shaqiri scored a goal in my team and even he is on my bench, all because I played with Wilson and 3 up front for the first time in 15 weeks and it immediately backfired.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      So. Much for the 3-4-3 hype

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure why you'd bench Shaqiri against one of the leakiest teams in the PL.

      1. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        It was a decision between Shaqiri and Wilson.

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I benched him for JLing. We knew the risk and got punished, but logic said Huddersfield could be a goal fest.

    4. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Same here. And Shaq cost me Wilson's points last GW too.

      But for who. No real option there and personally don't see him rested as city defense will be even more tatters

  16. Nightf0x

    Knew that it would be a shit gw so did a -8 to fix my team, 12 pts from 6 players, salah(c)

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Similar position but kun cap fail. 13 from 7 after a -8

    6 years, 2 months ago

    Time to get rid of Otamendi just don't know who for - Maswon or Bauer?

    He's served me well but 3 of next 4 against Leicester, Arsenal and Chelsea can't see them getting a cs in any of those games and time to take some money out the defence

  20. ljuta zena

    Ederson to?

  21. Spike ⚽️
    • 12 Years

    Anyone else bring Jones in for Chritensen. Only clean sheet in site and he's ill ffs

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Had him for weeks but equally annoying. Even more so when Ogbonna comes on for his standard one pointer

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yep same sub here

    2. Deano
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Which site does he get clean sheets without playing?

    3. MTPockets
        6 years, 2 months ago

        For Stones. For a hit.

      Keven Long nailed on? 4.1 and those fixtures, not bad to free up funds

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Covering for Tarkowski I think, so depends how long he’s out for

      2. Nightf0x
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Wait and see cuz tarko injury is a minor one

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Not nailed. Tark will be back soon enough.

        Lowton is quite appealing if Bardsley is out for longer, however.

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I think this is where lowton returns to being first choice. He was before he was injured last year

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Possibly. I have Mee already, but totally would not mind double Burnley defense (as I'll typically only play one of them).

            Ogbonna > Lowton would be superb.

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years

        I know he’s awful, but Ogbonna is a defender. Honestly
