Pogba and Maguire lead list of unexpected Gameweek 1 starters

Paul Pogba (£8.0m) heads up a number of players who have made an unexpected appearance in Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League.

It was thought to be unlikely that the French World Cup winner would feature against Leicester in the first match of 2018/19, as a result of his exploits in Russia, but he captains Manchester United at Old Trafford.

However, the biggest surprise starter of the night from a Fantasy perspective is Harry Maguire (£5.5m), who will sit next to Wes Morgan (£4.5m) at the heart of the Leicester defence. That comes after suggestions from manager Claude Puel that he was a serious doubt to play after going deep into the World Cup with England.

Despite the suggestions he would miss out, Maguire was still picked in 17 percent of FPL squads. His contribution tonight could end up unexpectedly making a big difference to the Fantasy landscape of Gameweek 1.

James Maddison (£6.5m) passed a fitness test to start in the number 10 role Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) was considered ready enough only for the bench. But even that is an unexpected role for the England man, and he could be in the frame for a start against Wolves next week.

Also on the bench tonight is Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m) while Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) leads the Manchester United attacking line. Alexis Sánchez (£10.5m) has not been given the centre-forwards role that was expected, or at least, that is what the team-sheet suggest. He may well take up that position after all with Rashford also able to operate out-wide.

Fantasy managers who had banked on World Cup semi-finalists not returning to full action for a few weeks may be hoping these team-sheets don’t set the tone for Gameweek 1.

MANCHESTER UNITED XI (4-3-3): De Gea; Shaw, Lindelof, Bailly, Darmian; Fred, Pogba, A Pereira; Sánchez, Rashford, Mata.

LEICESTER CITY XI (4-2-3-1): Schmeicheln; Chilwell, Maguire, Morgan, Amartey; Silva, Nidda; Gray, Maddison, R Pereira; Iheanacho.

      Never was and never will be nailed

        Up to gw 4 youll be safe with him. Maybe longer. Played well

        1. Dyslexia Untied FC

          Except he’s slower than my nan

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          He was shocking at times

        3. Supersonic
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Cheers.. took a punt to have him in today but was wanting to know if hes worth holding or if I bounce him out for Maddison .. no other man it's cover

  2. Rashers
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thought Bailly looked excellent.

    Should nail down one of the 2 CB spots.

    1. Scoop77
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, Lindelof not bad either. Darmian a bit ropey

      1. Rashers
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        The fact Smalling sat on the bench after a full pre season too

        1. Rashers
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          As for Darmian. Hopefully one of the Italian clubs take him before the end of August

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      could have been sent off for a scissor tackle showing studs

      1. Rashers
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Hes a bit reckless at times alright but our best defender by far. Still young. Run of games will hopefully iron that out of him

    3. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Never was in line to get any bonus points though. Wasn't in top five even when there was a clean sheet.

      1. Rashers
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Early doors. 5.5m regular United Def be nice. Worry about Jose with Shaw

    4. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Red card liability, too.

  3. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Marks silence on the ‘assist’ is deafening 😉

      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It's a joke pal.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone know his ID?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I believe he owns Sanchez but I’m not suggesting that’s a factor, just that he surely must know that’s not an assist and he has influence

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Just wanted to see his team.

          Surely he can't argue that it was an assist.

        2. Thinkering like a Boss
          • 7 Years

          what his RMT team dont have Sanchez??

          Wow I expected more from you wild rover, stupid comment

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            In what way? When I say he has influence I don’t mean that he makes decisions, just that he can speak to people to point out possible errors

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 9 months ago

        This one needs an explanation.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      Looking forward to Bavies and Eriksen for lunch tomorrow.

      1. Oooof
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I couldn’t eat both I don’t think

      2. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Me too

      3. RÏɠBY
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        with a side of hot pepper sauce

      4. SweeSwee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I’d like a nice Bavies and Eriksen sandwich, yummy.

      Is Shaw definitely going to get dropped? Or could he take the place from Young permanently?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yes. Confirmed.

      2. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Young to RB. Shaw stays at LB

      3. Champione
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        very possible that Young takes the right back if Darmian leaves

      4. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Young should come in for Darmian. United's right side was shocking with Darmian and Mata.

      5. DJDave1979
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Shaw keeps his place if he keeps playing like this. We all kept saying Jones was going to be benched last season but he kept on performing and, whatever else Jose is, he's not stupid.

      6. seanysheep
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Shaw played well

      7. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He will get dropped eventually but he is ok for now. I've got him in as a short term pick - although I'll be swapping him out when I see how other teams settle.

        1. *Reformed-Character*
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Young is woeful

      8. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Just keep him until he is replaced
        Lets hope he will have a great season and a bargain asset to have

      Now feel officially sick. Wanted to shuffle my defence to change Mendy, De Gea and Speroni to Shaw, Allison, Foster +1.0m, but my home internet crashed (thanks Virgin) at 6.30. Went to local bar - they've changed their ISP/free account and could not set up in time. By the time things were working at home it was 7.30 - too late for FPL but JIT for Sky.

      I know no-one's interested, but I am boiling mad right now!

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        you might end up with more points out of it yet

        1. *Reformed-Character*
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          He definitely WONT

      2. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        A boiling mad octopus, that's an animal I would love to stroke with my forehead.

      3. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        It happens. 37 GWs to go mate.

        1. BUZZBOMB
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          379 games plus chips. Expect a few "lol at Shaw owners" in amongst them. 1st game hysteria highly prevalent. If you are boiling mad tonight, chill. You wont enjoy it otherwise. Luck, in whatever way it comes, is a massive part of this game. Dont let anyone else tell you otherwise.

          3 transfers at 6.30 is risky on opening day too mind. I know the issue was your end but the fpl site has gone down in the past.

      4. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Youve had 5 weeks to put them in

      5. MTPockets
          5 years, 9 months ago

          The site was dodgy before deadline anyway, so you won't have been the only frustrated one.

        • Podge
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          It’s cathartic to vent

        • VanDijksToWatchOutFor
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          No consolation I'm sure but at least you know your thinking was good. Best of luck for the rest of the weekend.

        • Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          You had weeks to set your team up.
          As Roy Keane said fail to prepare...prepare to fail.

        • George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Real hard luck when you've had so little time to set your team up for GW1

        • the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          relax. DDG + 4m looked a good bet to start off with, and Mendy has 6 fantastic fixtures after his opener, all of which he is capable to get a clean sheet in and maybe even nick an assist

          people are only considering getting in Shaw now because he scored, what makes him any more nailed/ a better pick now?

        • RÏɠBY
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          you should have forseen that.. being psychic and all

        • Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          should have seen it coming

        • Nascimento
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I was going to have Shaw and Pogba instead of Tony Adams and Stanley Matthews 🙁

        • Oooof
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Ironic that you failed to put your psychic powers to good use!

          1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Sense of fair play

              • 8 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Oh yes

          5 years, 9 months ago

          I know I've had weeks (well I haven't really, been in Italy with NO internet connection). But I was waiting for some close to kick off team news. http://www.mufclatest.com is very good - not quite in Anfield Express class, but nailed the MU starting line-up by 6pm,

      6. RomeluStormzy
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Shaw is 11 points

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          and in all likelihood +0.2 price rise

          beautiful isn't it?

        2. Hibbopotamus
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Love to profit

      7. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Sweet. I own Shaw and Mata, and I'm actually glad there was no clean sheet, since so many people own De Gea and some own Bailly. No soup for you.

        1. cravencottage
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          How the H do you own Mata?

          1. Lebowski85
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Didn't follow the template. 6.5 and nailed to start the first few....not too out there really. Transfer waiting to happen though.

            I didn't bring him in....

          2. Four Hit Wonder
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Someone said in comments the other day that Mata is RW and should get returns. I listened.

        2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years

          its the first game of the first gameweek. might be soup city yet

        3. Oooof
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I like soup

        4. Champione
          • 8 Years

          congrats, great start!

        5. BrockLanders
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Casual.

        6. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          But you would still have the extra four points for the clean sheet same as the others. Plus an extra point for Mata.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            More own DDG and others than Shaw

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              You are right though

            2. badgerboy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah I get that but Shaw would have been 9 points ahead regardless of whether they kept a clean sheet or not.

              1. badgerboy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                Don't worry. Quibbling for the sake of it 😉

              2. DJDave1979
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 9 months ago

                But the fact that somr of those who own other Man Utd options have blanked and are rage-transfering in Shaw as we speak is lovely/hilarious/stupid.

                1. badgerboy
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  Absolutely.

        7. *Reformed-Character*
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Glad you didn’t get clean sheet? You are a special type of special ...WOW

          1. Four Hit Wonder
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            DDG and Bailly owners might rage transfer or might even buy Shaw. While I only have to wait to see if he'll rise to 5.1 or 5.2.

            While DDG and Bailly will not.

      8. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years

        Maddison is quite pretty isn't he?

            Agreed, needs to rectify that.

          Yes- looked excellent. But was subbed off early. One to watch

            • 6 Years

            Good point, looked good at football too.

      11. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years

        Should have probably got Mane+1.0m instead of Alexis as a Hazard placeholder. Hopefully 5pts beats Mane...

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Unlikely.

        2. BrockLanders
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Mane's hatrick will get more than 5...

        3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I held firm. No pun, I don't own Firmino but Mane. Hope he smashed it on Sunday...

        4. Rashers
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah a last minute switch from Mane to Sanchez too. Decent downgrade in Mid could bring in Auba or Laca up front from GW3.

        5. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Hopefully the 5 pts beats mahrez/eriksen too as have mane

        6. Bucky Barnes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Two goals for mane incoming, maybe 3

            Shaw was worth it, even for a GW or two. Cue the price rise from all the casuals.

            DDG had to ruin a potential 15 pointer!

            I was happy. Figured a 5m starter in a top 6 side was worth a flyer, now I’ll get a little cash out of it

            Shaw was the planned transfer in GW3 but now he might nail his spot

                Yeah, do you think the team will be affected by the Ashley buying House of Fraser news? Thinking the atmosphere won't be that good...
                Our preseason hasn't been the best either, I see a 1-1 being played out

              • 9 Years

              • 6 Years

              this , his passing was a bit sloppy at times but he was full of energy and was involved in most good Utd attacks too

            • 11 Years

            Assist and he looks sharp. Would hold.

            1. Henning
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Ok thanx, otherwise its East do swap for Kdb. But lets wait and see.

              • 5 Years

              well wasnt much of an assist seaming as it was a pen

          3. Keep Calm and Play On
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            First assist was very questionable (I own him) but he should have had one with Lukaku. I think having Lukaku up there alongside him rather than Rashford will create more space for him as Lukaku is a better hold up player than Rashford

          4. DJDave1979
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Depends. He looked a bit poor with his passing at times but from a fantasy perspective he set up some absolute clear chances. I have, I hold.

          5. Four Hit Wonder
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            A bit sloppy, he'll get the hang of it. Also remember he played with Marcus "I don't understand you" Rashford for an hour.

        11. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years

        14. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          That was a great goal by Vardy on the quiet.

          When I used to manage we would say over and over that a striker has to be alive to the possibility of anything happening....because it will. He was exactly that. A lot of players wouldn't have been as mobile and as quick to react in that situation.

              • 11 Years

              Aye. Vardy's reaction and reflex was rather good....top notch...the keeper was wooden.

            he’s always going to get goals, with every increase in price though his value drops

            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            That's his style. Runs after everything. Honestly it's refreshing to see at time. Most giving or easing up. Really rate him.
