We end New Year’s Day at Goodison Park where Everton host Manchester United.

Fantasy managers have plenty of interest in the events that will unfold, with United’s assets sill clinging to significant ownership.

Since the decline of Romelu Lukaku, David De Gea is by far their most popular asset as part of 42.5% of squads. The Spaniard claimed just his second clean sheet in eight Gameweeks in the 0-0 draw with Southampton last time out. Phil Jones – owned by 13.4% – also played his part in that stalemate and features again on Merseyside – his sixth successive starting role.

Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho is forced into changes with the aforementioned Lukaku sidelined with a head injury. It’s Anthony Martial rather than Marcus Rashford who leads the United attack, with Jesse Lingard likely to be retained in a No 10 role. Significantly, Paul Pogba could be given more attacking freedom with Ander Herrera selected alongside Nemanja Matic in midfield.

Sam Allardyce also tweaks his Everton line-up, as recent Fantasy enablers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jonjoe Kenny are rested to the bench, along with Gylfi Sigurdsson. Wayne Rooney is in the XI, however, with the veteran having supplied five goals and three assists in his last five Gameweek starts.
