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.

    Level on points with Rival, he has free hit and I don't. Reckon our bench boost and triple captain will even out so gameweek 35 could be key.
    I currently have 6 players for 35:

    VVD Mee
    Shaqiri Zaha Kenedy
    Aubameyang

    Am planning Hazard back to Salah to give me 7

    Is this anywhere near enough?

    If i end up taking hits he will have a huge advantage anyway so should I try and prioritise the doubels and write off 35??

      Get maximum Burnley players + De gea (If you have a keeper for GW 35). De Gea will be benched in GW 35 as you wait for dgw 37

        I have De Gea. Am planning bench boost in 37 atm as my bench for 34 is Adrian, Dunk, Kenedy and shaqiri...

    Alli or Eriksen? I have always throught of Eriksen to be streaky.

    1. Kno
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Is it not the other way around? I feel like Eriksen is way more stable and trickling along with assists here and there.

      I went Ali before the round and ofc with captain hindsight on my side now regret it.

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

        It's pretty even really. Alli either gets below 9 or above 12 due to his hatred of bonus points, whereas Eriksen is usually between 9 and 12 when he returns.

        Your point is valid. It is just that I personally do not like players who rely on shots off the penalty box to get a goal.

    2. Make Arrows Green Again

      Alli more so! If you have the money it has to be Eriksen

    Need a Auba captain major haul tomorrow . Would take me top of my mini league again.

    1. Epic Fail

      How much to take you top?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        About 10 behind but he has him too but not captained him.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hope he puts you 50 points clear 🙂

    3. Kno
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. ML rival went kane captain so this need some goals to create a bigger gap. 20ish point lead atm is not enough for comfort

  4. DJ87

    Forget about Lukaku, going for Sánchez and Kane in DGW34.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years

      Lukaku against smaller teams is essential. His record says it all

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

  5. barracuda

    Is Mee out for longer than first thought?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Hope not.

  7. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan
    Smalling Lowton Morgan
    Hazard Lingard Mahrez Alli
    Lukaku Kane Vardy

    On FH, try to fit Alexis or Chelsea?

  8. mblack751

    Will Kane go up in price again tonight?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What percent is he on?

      1. william prunier
        • 8 Years

        99.1

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Looks likely then innit

      1. mblack751
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Now over 100 percent. Was on 94 when I asked

  9. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any 4.1 defenders with a DGW?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Long if Mee is out

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Long maybe ?

  10. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who is more important for the DGW, Kane or Lukaku?

    3 possible options for the DGW;

    A) Kane, Vardy, Barnes
    B) Lukaku, Vardy Barnes,
    C) Kane Lukaku, Barnes (would possibly ruin rest of my team too much)

    DeGea, Ryan
    Alonso, Bailly, Robertson, Morgan, Lowton
    Salah, Son, Mahrez, Willian, Gross
    Aubameyang, Vardy, Barnes

  11. Lukakwho

    Hi all. Will Son fall and will Eriksen rise this week?

    1. FantasyNik123
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son has a DGW, I'm sure ppl that don't have him will bring him in bc hes the cheapest spurs mid, and eriksen will surely rise

  12. I Member

    Needed that Sanchez haul after that Kane fail earlier. Mild WC success.

  13. Patch

    So Aub can't play on Thurs against Moscow right?

    1. G-Whizz

      Correct

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

        I kinda wish he was able to play, would make it easier to trade him out

        Right Executive Decision, I am going to make 2 transfers next Saturday morning.

        Nuff Said

          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Whatever you decide to do I hope it all works out. I was always going to take a 2 week captain punt with him and then bring in Kane, just, need, to, stick, to, plan...

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

            So you will bring Kane in tonight to avoid his second price rise?

            1. G-Whizz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              No, I can afford to absorb any price rises so I'm in no rush...

  14. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If City lose to four of Spurs, Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield and Southampton, United can still win the title lol

  15. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Three assists, no goals and no clear sheets for my entire team. Captained kane. Awful.

  16. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Every player I had play today scored 1 or 2 points except Smalling who is last on the bench and likely destined to not come on.. fml

  17. el polako
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That feeling when your cheap midfielder scores (Gundogan) and yet you still not happy beacause it should have been more....
    Kids in bed, beer o'clock.

  18. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    22 points with Willian, Alonso and Auba (c).

    Genuinely thought my team was great for this week, too.

    Ffs

    1. TheRealDog
      • 10 Years

      Same players left but on 12 points. You're doing great.

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on 22 with Auba, Haz and Christensen so you will overtake me at least! Kane captain obviously...

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      Ha. I got 21pts and same remaining and I'm happy

    Hi, which is the best options for dgw 34?
    A. Son -> Alli
    B. Mahrez -> Eriksen (have Son)
    C. Auba/Lukaku + Son/Mahrez (have Vardy) -> Kane + other mid (-4)
    Thanks, sorry repost, thinking going with B cause Eriksen is on set pieces.

  20. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years

    young should have got a straight red for that tackle very clear pen

  21. Norman Conquest

    stockport riots incoming

  22. ZimZalabim

    was sterling or pogba uniteds best player ?

  23. Flying Finns
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sold smalling for vert for -4. Ouch. And free transfer was Ali instead of Eriksen. Ouch

  24. TheRealDog

    2

    Can we have an assist explanation on Shaquiris assist??

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably falls under the 'intended target / intended area' ...

    2. TheRealDog
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Unbelievable how it's been given. And I don't care about those three points at all.

  26. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Need big things from Willian and Alonso. 20pts between them would be nice

  27. FPL-(VAR)dy

    San(c)hez anyone?

  29. Sliver

    just did sterling -> Pogba. Too knee jerky?

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch. Very much so. I stand to be corrected but Pogba did well because he was giiven the number 10 role today. I ssuppose he will not be given that role week in week out.

      1. Sliver
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe mourinho will realise his mistake and give it to him here on out 🙂

    2. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go A&E with those knees

      1. Sliver
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        😀

      2. Sliver
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        150 points behind my ML rival and we've got a quid a point bet on this season. I need a miracle.

        1. Rash
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez (c) is the risky move to make gains

  30. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Kane can't lie, let the PL give that goal to him. He deserves it after all.
