Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Man United

Saturday’s events conclude at the bet365 as Manchester United bid to reclaim the Premier League top spot with a victory at Stoke City.

Jose Mourinho’s side are awash with major Fantasy talent as Romelu Lukuku heads into the match as the top captain pick for a fourth successive Gameweek.

Over 179,000 (37%) back the Belgian with the armband who is under pressure to deliver after goals from the next three most popular picks – Harry Kane, Alexandre Lacazette and Alvaro Morata – earlier in the day.

Paul Pogba also boasts a swell of support. Owned by 1.8 million (37.5%), he wears the armband for over 203,000 managers this evening.

Meanwhile, Henrikh Mkhitaryan goes into the game as the most signed midfielder ahead of Gameweek 4, having claimed another 236,000 owners.

With Ander Herrera recalled to the Man Utd starting XI, it could be that Pogba is shifted up behind Lukaku this evening, with Mkhitaryan starting wide on the right.

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

    Choupo-Moting is known for his inconsistency and is also injury prone, don't expect much if you jump on the wagon. 🙂

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      He is super super inconsistent

    2. laplana

      Disagree so much, so much. Please.

      1. VS10_

        I have followed in the Bundesliga for a few seasons, just imo.

        1. VS10_
          • 9 Years

          him in the*

          1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 13 days ago

            Me too. Totally agree. I doubt Laplana has heard of him until today

            1. VS10_
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 13 days ago

              He is cheap, OOP and Stoke have decent fixtures coming. It looks good I admit but still, I would be wary (I'm sure I'll be on him after saying this soon).

    People laugh at City & Utd defenders

    But truth be told those United ones aren't any better. Jose parking the bus most games makes them look better than what they actually are

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      +De Gea

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      20 shots a game before this one, some nice bus parking that.

    3. Granville

      7 years, 13 days ago

      United defenders are better. Do you think Ederson is in any way comparable to De Gea?

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        I don't actually think there is much in it. Uniteds style of play gives them a lot more protection than City's & Liverpool. Seldom do you see them left totally exposed

      2. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        Obviously DDG is the jewel in Uniteds defence has been for the last few seasons

    4. Syd.
      • 15 Years

      *City & Liverpool

    5. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 13 days ago

      Southampton defence ain't any better today

    6. Digital-Real

      +1

    Choupo will be the next bandwagon and its deserved, was wrongly priced by FPL

      This can only be said only on a day when he gets a brace.

    I don't care if United win or lose as long as they play attacking footie, missed it for 3 years now.

    Rashford reminds me of Ashley Young so much.
