Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Man United

1,812 Comments
Share

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.

        Honestly I would keep him. It would be so silly to lose him, because he seems like the perfect captain for 36 and 38, plus I dont think he'll get rotated too often, as Liverpool dropped points to their rivals and are still chasing a high finish in the league.

      Need some advice after this weeks results!
      I have no FH for GW35, but will likely take a 4pt hit to bring in two players to go with the 6 I would have left after the changes below.

      a) Salah, Firmino and Dawson --> Sanchez, Vardy and Christensen (-8)
      b) Auba and Dawson --> Lukaku and Christensen (-4)
      c) Auba --> Kane

      Best defender for 6 or less? Currently have Tarkowski, Lowton, Simpson & Christensen.

      Can't be a Man Utd defender though, already have De Gea / Sanchez & Young. Preferably someone with a DGW.

      Sorting out my FH side for next week.

      Fairly settled on:

      De Gea

      Alonso / Chilwell / Smalling

      Erikssen / Gros

      Kane / Vardy

      Struggling to complete it. Have terrible Team Value but could have a cheap defender and Barnes / Wood up front to field a decent midfield pair / go all in on Sanchez as a differential.

      Would mean Lukaku but can't decide about that guy. Loves to score against lowly teams, so today's performance didn't surprise me.

      My plan was FH34, WC36 BB37
      I have 9 players for GW35 (Fabianski, Dawson, Bauer, Mane, Salah, Shaqiri, Walcott, Firmino, Aubameyang)

      Still best to stick to FH plan in 34?

        Yes imo.
        I'm doing the same.

        Question....

        If I take Salah out in my FH team. Then I put him back in later in the week.
        Will I get him back at the value i sold him for. Or wouldn't I have to pay full price.

        You cannot BB in 34 as you have not WC-ded in 33. So stick
