Lukaku leads the Man United line as Rashford benched

1,026 Comments

Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) has the potential to turn around what has proved to be a rotten Double Gameweek 34 so far, but only for a selection of managers.

The Manchester United striker, owned by just 4.4% overall, has kept his place in the side after disappointment against Barcelona midweek.

With more shots on target than any other player in their last four Premier League matches, he is chasing his 10th goal against West Ham in his 11th match against them in this competition.

His power as a differential option in Double Gameweek 34 has been made stronger by the fact that Marcus Rashford (£7.4m) has been named on the bench in order to keep him fresh for next week’s Champions League second leg.

He is joined among the substitutes by centre-back Victor Lindelöf (£5.0m), Phil Jones (£5.1m) coming in for him.

With Luke Shaw (£5.0m) suspended Marcos Rojo (£4.9m) starts at left-back, with Diogo Dalot (£5.3m) filling in for the banned Ashley Young (£5.7m) on the right.

Former Manchester United forward Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.1m) leads the West Ham attack today with Marko Arnautovic (£6.8m) missing out thanks to an illness.

Man United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Fred, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Lukaku, Martial

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Zabaleta, Ogbonna, Balbuana, Masuaku, Rice, Noble, Lanzini, Anderson, Snodgrass, Hernandez

        Wrong. We’re an inherently good species that want to please each other. Some light joshing and a bit of a spat now and again is healthy. But you’ve got a point, tad more respect would be nice.

        I never said I have been personally offended. If you look at the posts its easy to see that quite a few people arent taking the banter very well.

        Banter and ribbing tends to be an excuse to cover up our behaviour. I get it, we've all been the subject of abuse in the past and feel its only fair to give as good as we get. Thing is all that does is feed the cycle and we can do far more by refusing to add to the flames. How do you want to be treated?

    got to be my worst ever wildcard, been playing since 2006 and boy oh boy have I set new levels in failure (hard to see it coming but disappointed nonetheless) - took out fraser, Anderson, ake, pogba, on the 'in' list had son(c) and triple brighton defence....guess there's still time to recover but inevitable advantage to people who burned wildcard earlier in season - pinning my hopes on Deeney now, and Pool to beat Chelsea in a big way, oh well, there's always next season 🙂

    People sad about WC being failed should have some patience imo.

    Planning for BGW/DGW payed off in gw 33 ( in very handsome way imo with triple scores of avg gw score for everyone)

    We've WC'ed for the rest of the season & it'll come off good imho. Bournemouth beating Brighton is unexpected & Pogba 2 pens is unsustainable.

    Those who had pogba,moura well played !!
