Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Man United

The day’s events end at the Etihad Stadium for an encounter which could decide the fate of the Premier League title.

Manchester City host rivals United requiring a victory and three points to seal the deal.

From a Fantasy perspective, this is a rather bizarre match-up, with modest Gameweek investment in City assets and little expected of our United players.

David Silva was the most popular City target heading into today’s deadline, claiming 74,000 new owners following three goals and three assists in his last four Gameweeks.

Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku goes into this contest with four goals and two assists from his previous six Gameweek starts but having been sold by 146,000 ahead of today’s deadline, the fourth most sold overall. Some 81,000 of those managers swapped for Kane who produced just a single point today.

David De Gea is perhaps the key man for United. He is the third most owned player as part of 44.3% of squads, though he is kept in reserve by 335,000 of his owners today, making him the fourth most benched player in the Gameweek.

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

          Nothing, get Kane mate.

      Think I'll just get Sanchez from United.

        The signs were there, his underlying stats have been better than Lukaku's for weeks and we all know what he is capable of.

      I'd still take Lukaku v WBA defence

      If only football worked like that...

      Lukaku's a flat track bully.

    This is easily one of the worst game weeks I've ever had in FPL, 12 points -4 with Alonso, Willian, Iwobi and Aubameyang (C) left to play. I'm at the Emirates tomorrow and can't tell you how much I'll be celebrating any goals involving the above.

      nice brag

        Where's the brag in that disaster lol

        1. Waynoo
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          4 players plus cap still to play

            With 8 points so far ! that was not intended as a brag at all but you have given me some degree of confidence at least.

    Every team will just go all out attack against City next season. They're fragile at the back

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Surely they will do something about it over the summer rather than not changing a thing.

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Yeh for sure. But it's a weakness in the system that has not been exposed until recently. Teams just played into their hands before

      2. Pigsinblankets
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        What, spend another 200m on defenders?

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      They wont

  6. FPL Blow-In

    Herrera don’t get another yellow please

  7. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Why did long plsy for Burnley? Who was out? May get him in to enable Sanchez in for son.

    Going trip captain next week and favouring Sanchez over kaku for that.

    I also have Francis from Bournemouth who I plan on benching

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years

      Mee injured, back next week

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      My mini league rival had him 3rd on bench and is getting him...

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Mee

    4. BIGREDDOG

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Kaku to start both? I think Jose will still be targeting 2nd regardless of the cup

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Here he is!

  9. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years

    Herrera wins an Oscar.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Kane won it already

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      you get the award for the most salty tw@ in here today well done

  10. Point-one short

    I asked the other day and everyone said play Lowton over Smalling.

    I don't know why I even bother listening to other people rather than make my own decisions sometimes. >:-(

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Oh shut up nobody cares that you followed sound advice and it turned sour

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        I am joking. It was sound advice.

      2. Norman Conquest

      I benched DDG and Smalling. Even if I risked playing 1 of them it would have been DDG.

      I'm not even bothered i would never have played Smalling so what's the point in crying over it.

    Bad GW. Captained Kane which made things even worse. He was off the pace today.

    Took Smalling out my WC at the last minute prior to GW32. So far I have missed a clean sheet and now a goal this week.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      But would you have played him this GW?

      1. Revival
