James Maddison (£7.2m), Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) line-up behind Perez.

Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) start in the heart of the Leicester midfield.

    United got complacent

    Massive massive mistake. Never do that in the premier league

    Team selection was the first sign and then the attitude of the players

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Awful mentality and urgency..

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For me, the warning signs were there when Sheffield scored their second goal

    3. Bushwhacker

      Complacent?? They've been the luckiest team on the planet for months, this isn't out of the ordinary, they're just playing a team that parking the bus against doesn't work.

    What the hell was DDG doing tapping it casually to the Sheff Utd winger?

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Time to transfer out DCL... Everton not looking sharp

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Leicester, to their credit, have been excellent.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  10. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  11. Rainer

    Uniteds luck will kick in now.

    Easy 3-2 win.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They'll be looking to the ref . . . a lot.

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Right? Lol, get in! Love me an underdog, I do.

    Wilder REALLY hates Manchester United for recalling Henderson.

  14. fedolefan

    Controversial opinion:

    Burkdog > Brewdog

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Captained Bruno just out of fear, Cancelo VC staring back at me!

    Still the right thing to do with the ownership and risk

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Always the right decision, no need to be annoyed.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was driven to it by fear . . had Sterling all week long. GAHHHH!

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bet Kane turns out to be the pick

  16. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Bruno brace in win the game in coming.

  17. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who to sell, Bamford or Martial? :/

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

      Martial has done literally nothing all season.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Well that's not true is it

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martial - not worth the cash.

    3. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both.

    4. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      But his goal tonight should have stood.

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both.

    6. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bamford

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Some brown paper bags need sending over to the var room

    Still time for bruno

  19. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Looking at it now, this was the perfect week for a differential captain

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      😀

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      thanks captain hindsight

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw and van de been coming on

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Might as well be Van De Been

  21. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fear is really driving people's captains picks. There was zero chance I wasn't captaining Bruno this week with his EO

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think it was fear. More like logic. Most consistent FPL asset Vs a team with 4 points all season.

  22. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    shaw coming on to block those bench points

  23. Jernau M Gurgeh
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    OGS out

  24. MagicMessi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Luke Shaw trolling owners .. Lovely stuff

  25. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Just noticed it was a Lundstram assist. Funny how if this was last year we'd be going crazy.

  26. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Suppose SHU winning at Old Trafford is of some comfort with this captain fail.

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There is always that, same here, plus Shaw blocking points from the bench

  27. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    The fact Shaw is just now coming on is shocking. OGS the PE teacher back with his lineup and decisions today

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The whole set up was wrong today. Tactically and the line up

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely baffling

  28. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rank went up considerably after that Sheffield goal, seemingly lots of United defence owners

  29. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Remind me to avoid the most obvious captain pick for next week.

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      this is how you plummet in rank

  30. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford didnt cap Bruno

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Trashford is very apt for him these last few months.
