Manchester United's David de Gea: Concedes one in draw
De Gea made five saves and conceded once in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Stoke City.
Analysis:
Under a surprising amount of duress considering the quality of competition on paper and the location of the match (at Old Trafford), fantasy owners might have expected an bonus five points against an out-of-form Stoke for de Gea. However, a mental lapse from the highly-rated keeper saw them reduced to just one point, having taken four from their last 12 in the Premier League to slip to sixth on the table. Things get even tougher on the other side of the international break, with trips to Anfield and Stamford Bridge with a mid-week Europa League tie against Fenerbahce for good measure in a seven-day span.
