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.

    Is it bad move to do Mane -> Ali ?
    Have Eriksen but no Kane and their fixtures in next few weeks are great.
    I mean is that enough to cover Kane?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Get Kane

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        How?
        a) Morata to Kane and Mane to 7.6 mid
        b) Firmino to Kane and Mane to 6.0 mid

    Anyone watch the Watford game? Did Kiko Femenía get forward much besides for his assist?

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Janmaat replaced him, I'd avoid.

      1. Lightbody
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        How about Doucoure? I've actually got him - did he get lucky or look decent? Cheers!

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Iirc he is a CB, so unlikely to get forward

    Alonso + Luka vs Kane + Davies?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Alonso is going nowhere

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      B because of fixtures .. more points and more money itb

    3. G-Whizz

    Mane owners: Who do you reckon is the best replacement?

    A) Pogba
    B) Salah
    C) Coutinho (0.3 cheaper than Salah)
    D) Xxx

    Yoshida owners: Do you think he was just rested today because of the long flight during int duty, or is it a sign of things to come?

    1. jiGGidyJ1
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Definitely a sign of things to come... VVD isn't even in the squad yet. Get rid.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

  22. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Pogba nearly with a Rashfordesque goal.

  23. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    And Southgate thinks Hart is a better keeper than Butland

  24. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    How is Butland is not the number GK for England?

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago
