Manchester United take on Everton in the penultimate fixture of Gameweek 10, with kick-off at Old Trafford at 16:00 GMT.

Richarlison (£6.8m) starts up front once again for the visitors, who are unchanged from the side that beat Crystal Palace last Sunday.

The Brazilian is once again supported by Theo Walcott (£6.4m), Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) and Bernard (£5.9m) in attack in Marco Silva’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

After naming the same side for the matches against Chelsea and Juventus, Jose Mourinho has made one only alteration for the visit of the Toffees – but it is a significant one.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.9m) drops to the bench and is replaced by Fred (£5.6m), which means a change of role for Marcus Rashford (£6.7m) as he leads the line in the Belgian’s stead.

Alexis Sanchez (£10.0m), who was ruled out by Mourinho on Friday, has made a miraculous recovery to take his place on the United bench, where he is joined by the fit-again Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) and Marcos Rojo (£4.9m).

The Red Devils have yet to keep a clean in the league at Old Trafford this season and have conceded seven goals and nine big chances in their four home Premier League fixtures in 2018/19. United shipped only nine goals at Old Trafford in the whole of 2017/18.

Anthony Martial (£7.3m) was the third-most-bought FPL player of Gameweek 10 following his brace against Chelsea, attracting 205,831 new owners.

Richarlison, meanwhile, was the fifth-most-sold midfielder of this round, having been shipped by 101,885 FPL bosses.

Man United XI (4-3-3): De Gea; Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw; Pogba, Matic, Fred; Mata, Rashford, Martial.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Digne, Keane, Zouma, Coleman; Andre Gomes, Gueye; Bernard, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Richarlison.

    How did Richarlison play? Last chance vs Brighton for me

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Well. Nearly had 2 other assists

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Just like Maddison was supposed to get 2 assists last week 😮

    2. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Didn't get enough chances, but played pretty well, could have had real assists beside the penalty.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good, once he replaced Bernard on the left.

    4. GoodFella93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I think you're stupid to sell... Fantastic games coming up and just picked up an assist in a tough game. Fulham will leave him so much space. Still scoring despite been asked to do a job upfront, a 21 year old Brazilian winger playing up front on his own and still putting a good shift in.

  3. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    An unexpected gift from Richarlison.I think he will score against Brighton.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Cardiff home coming soon also. I certainly will keep him and hope for good haul gw13.

    2. Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm definitelly keeping

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed, will keep at least until Cardiff.

  4. Tabasco
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Monreal, Robertson, Hazard and Arnautovic all not playing is concerning. Just bad luck or should I transfer some out?

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Monreal out of those.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Monreal needs to go

  5. Feloh

    Patricio Hamer
    Alonso Mendy TAA Doherty AWB
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser Maddison
    Aguero Mitrovic Jimenez

    Thoughts? Who should I ditch first?

    Mitrovic > Arnautovic (I'm missing £0.1 at the moment)

    Do you see move to enables the above?

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wait a week for Arnie based on fixtures?? One of the mids has to give way I reckon - prob Fraser based on Roth game coming....

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Arnies price is falling ..

  7. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Fpl discovery has players played as 7.7 or 6.9/11. I don’t understand. So does that not take into account no shows? Or is the average players in tomorrow’s game over 3?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lots have 3 City and maybe Trippier or Kane so yeah that could be right.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It's the no shows. Most have at least two or three.

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I was disappointed to see that too - the green arrow will be short-lived I think.

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard counts as 1, Robbo not far behind.
      Doesn't count.

      1. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I need to update my script to calculate subs too, then I can have one feature they don't!

    5. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Was never sure if it counts no shows.

  8. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I think the answer is an auto sub for zero points in this scenario as rules say priority order. Can someone confirm.

    If I have 2 outfield players in the first 11 not playing and my second auto sub also does not play my second auto sub rather than my third auto sub will come in for zero points?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Only players that play come on as autosubs.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Love when I am wrong - nice one thanks

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Just looked at your team - are you that sure Son won't play?

  9. Salah Daze
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Phew! My 'Martial Plan' punt worked - just!
    Bring on my extra massive 2 points from Jiminez sub for Hazard lol

    1. Burnzyboi91
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What’s your team?

      1. Salah Daze
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It's linked on my profile - I'm riding my luck a lot!

    1. My Name Is Pepu

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      To annoy us

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Why anything?

    4. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Why are there weekend games. My missus doesn't love them.

    7. JohnCarewCarew
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Why do birds suddenly appear?

  11. Cabellafan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sacrifice on of Richarlison or Maddison to get Mendy for a hit? Or just go Laporte?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Maddison or Laporte

    2. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both

  12. lugs
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    only 3 points coming off the bench with Robbo,Pereira,Hazard,Arni out, still on 64 though with Aguero left so i can't complain 🙂

  13. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Logically (lol Pep) Mendy and Delph will rotate from Monday?

    tot (PL) Mendy
    Fulham (cc) Delph
    SOT (PL) Mendy
    Shakhtar (UCL) Delph
    MUN (PL) Mendy

    Right?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I think Mendy starts most of the important games when fit and available.

    2. Styles_X
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      i just want mendy to play against fulham idc about other fixtures

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You started all wrong with Logically - there is no logic.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not worth guessing.

    5. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Or Delph vs Soton and Mendy vs Shakthar

    6. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hahaha

  14. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Whats 10k avg. this around so far?

    1. Styles_X
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      13.1

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      With BAPS 56

      1. Loðbrók
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      55.

      But why do people ask for 10K average? Unless you are in it or a few K places off it, doesn't really affect you, you should ask for the Overall (Live/active) team average.

      1. Pinturicchio10
          7 years, 5 months ago

          To compare a teams performance in a given gwk with the highest scoring teams to date. Just gauging.

        • AnfieldLad
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Top 10k is more relevant than overall if you’re inside the top 100k imo. Teams aren’t much different between top 10k and top 100k

          1. Loðbrók
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Ranked below 500 before this gw

        • Loðbrók
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Rank

        • TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Because scoring the top 10K average still equals a red arrow.

        • Sideways Backwards
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Overall average is pretty useless with all the dead teams. The top 10k is a good barometer for how well you did in a given week

          1. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            That's why I said Live/Active average, which doesn't include dead teams.

    4. Saka White Rice
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      i know it's been asked but is it worth putting Barkley in? even if he doesn't perform you'll still get 0.1 profit on him by next week. not sure if he's nailed when Hazard is back?

      1. Styles_X
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        you mean kovacic*. he is probably rotating with kova

    5. Champions united
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both for a hit should i do

      1.Neves >martial
      2.Hoj>Barkley
      3.other options

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Just Neves to Martial

        Sigurdsson would be better though

        1. Champions united
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Thnks mate

    6. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy worth the extra 0.2 on Dunk and Bruno?

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        yeah he is a beast on corners - Ireland's main goal threat!

    7. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Serious question - how do you think the Leicester Helicopter crash will affect thier season?

      1) Will the players be shook by it - sadness, future uncertainty - dip in performance?

      OR

      2) Do it for the chairman's memory - raise thier levels all round?

      OR

      3) Play as is unaffected either way once they step on the pitch?

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hmm the question is kinda insensitive but I’d say 3

      2. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If I was a leicester player, 3 😮

      3. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 months ago

          No idea. But would guess bigger issue will be the extent of owner's Leicester interest/motivations vs others.

      4. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        My template wc team since GW9 already starting to look a bit stale.
        Time to jump on differentials like Barkley, Martial, Auba ?

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Barkely looks great value easy switch for fraser owners who want to keep thier team structure.

          I am thinking of getting vardy but with Leicester's off field problems and doubts to Hazard and arnautovic - I am going to leave the decision late.

      5. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        With all these incredible scores, I wonder if 68 with Kun and Ederson to go will be enough for a green arrow by the end of the GW!

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Probably is. Depends on your ranking I imagine.

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            272k before this GW.

        2. Styles_X
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          the average yesterday was 27..def a green arrow

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Some of the scores posted here are crazy though! Well into the 70's with several players to g, it seems.

          2. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            That average is useless.
            Top 10K average is the guide to use.

        3. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          People just brag here when their score is good.

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I hope you're right!

        4. Davros
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Probably

      6. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ings owners - what is the plan??

        I want to replace ahead of city away - but only have 5.7m to spend.

        The only option seems to be bobby reid at Cardiff who has Leicester and Brighton home next.

        I could wildcard him out after that...

        Keen to get views on this....thanks

        1. Pieterke30
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Success and upgrade elsewhere

          1. Bialystrzelec
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Not quite sold on £4.5 third striker. They are getting dropped regularly do you are limiting yourselves to 12 active outfield players what might backfire is GW like this. Also you could find playing midfielders at even £4.4 - £4.3.

        2. AnfieldLad
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Ings -> Kamara
          Shaw -> Mendy for me

          Don’t like the other options at the price, thinking 4 at the back is better

          1. Pieterke30
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Yep

            Pereira and Ings to Mendy and Success for me

            1. Flynny
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Interesting....

              Could do ings to success

              And Peltier to 5.2m with my other ft....

        3. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I am keeping.

          1. Flynny
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Chilwell looks like best defensive option I can afford....

            Not sure keeping is an option.

            Can see him benched soon...possibly at city

              I wouldn't - and I am a biased Foxes fan. We're looking very vulnerable at the back. Even without last night's tragedy there is something not right at the KP at the moment.

          Got a couple of questions:

          1) Would you start Patricio vs TOT or Ryan vs eve? I've missed out on Ryan's last two hauls - and I plan to turn one of my keepers into a set and forget soon. I expect both keepers to concede but surely Ryan is better placed for saves since Brighton concede so many chances?

          2) Who would you start out of Robertson vs ars, Doherty vs TOT and Yedlin vs WAT? I think Yedlin has the best odds of keeping a CS, although even then, his odds for keeping one won't be that high. If he returns, it's probably 6 points. I think Robertson and Doherty will probably concede too, but Doherty is much more threatening (he had 6 shots this GW).

          Cheers

            1) Ryan - higher clean sheet chance
            2) Robertson - I wouldn't consider Yedlin, because as you say his clean sheet odds aren't exactly great even with a goodish fixture. Robertson and Doherty are both attacking but I'd say Doherty might not be able to get forward vs TOT whereas Arsenal vs Liverpool is likely to be very open and Robbo will be more attacking. Plus Robertson more likely to keep a clean sheet

                Thanks, pretty convincing answer.
                Robertson also likely within the BP if Liverpool manage to keep a CS

              Wild Card, take 2

              Ryan Button
              Robertson Mendy Diop Bennett AWB
              Maddison Salah Haz Richarlison Delofeou
              Arnie Wilson Aguero.

              Thoughts?

              On 66 with Ederson, Mendy and Aguero to play. Was 55kat start of gameweek so I expect a green arrow but finding it very difficult to gain on top 10k. Besides Bournemouth players there are very little differentials scoring heavily.

                I guess that depends on what you perceive as differentials and how many points are needed, I'd argue the following are all differentials (not including Fraser, Wilson, Doherty) who are or could be scoring well...
                Pickford, Ryan, Fabianski, Patricio
                Bruno, Duffy, Rudiger, Laporte, Holebas
                Pereyra, Barkley, Martial, Capoue, Siggy, Brooks
                Aubameyang, Arnie, Success, Murray

              Ings , Stephens and VVD to Success, Barkley and Laporte?
              Worth doing or too knee jerky?

              I want to get Arnautovic in for Ings next week. To do that I need to sell Moura this week for 6.0 midfielder.

              Should I do Moura to:
              A) Barkley (would do it tonight to get the price rise)
              B) Wijnaldum
              C) Kenedy
              D) someone else

              Patricio (Hamer)
              Alonso - Robertson - Mendy - Doherty - AWB
              Salah - Hazard - Moura - Fraser - Billing
              Aguero - Mitrovic - Ings

                D) Kenedy is ok, but best starting 4.5 gives you extra money for future needs

                  Thanks for the feedback. If I do a 4.5, I will have two pure bench fodder. But I will see what I can do with the extra funds elsewhere.

              I don't get people selling Maddison before Cardiff and Burnely. He was due to some assists in last two games.

              51 with Kun left to play after baps and auto subs tomorrow, 9 players in total with Knockaert 0 off the bench lol. Disaster of a week but we move on....

              Looks like Kovacic plays the tougher fixtures. And two easier fixtures for Chelsea coming up.

                Get Barkley then but it’s a trap
