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.

      7 years, 5 months ago

      A) Ryan vs eve
      B) Patricio vs TOT

      1) Robertson vs ars
      2) Yedlin vs WAT
      3) Doherty vs TOT

      Which keeper and defender would you pick for next GW?

      I feel like all of the above will concede, but Ryan is better placed to make more saves due to how many chances Brighton concede. Doherty also likeliest to score...

        I would punt on Barkley. In the form of his life, and cheap

        1. Ahmed Adam
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks.

        1. Ahmed Adam

      3. Sid1891
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Barkley if plays

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

        I’m making the same decision. But I need one 6.0 and below. So the Barkley punt is an option.

      Patricio
      TAA, Alonso, Doherty

        Neither

        1. Sid1891
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

        Who are you getting?

        1. Pauntley
          • 9 Years

          I need to downgrade so can afford Ings to Arnie

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

            Would hold till you have 2 ft.

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

        Maddison.

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

        They play Brighton and Cardiff next, relax.

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

          Ok thanks for talking me out of it! Will look at benching Ings.

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

            People are gonna tell you to get rid of Maddison but he's been unlucky not to get returns. He's more of an assist player and should have got more than a couple of assists in the last 2 games. Be patient and the returns will come. Good luck!

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

        Same dilemma. Think I’m going to ditch Maddie

          I have 3ITB

        is neves your 5th mid?

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

            martial is definitely in form but siggy is more consistent imo you choose

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

        I would and think martial

    • Nickyb5000
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Soooo ummmm they rly not giving Laca the assist?

      1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Robbed !

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

      Lukaku came in and United conceded. Not a good centre half IMO and possibly the most overpriced reverse OOP FPL option of all time.

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

        Reverse oop = poor

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

      So is everyone okay with Alonso and Richarlison now?

      They'd been downed here for a few weeks

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

        Not by me
        Love owning both

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

        Was richa good today?

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

          Was watching only second half and he should have one note assist. He was active, that's for sure

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

          He was labouring as number 9 but I think consensus is he was good as soon as Everton Switched formation and he shifted out left.

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

        Alonso is the best FPL defender apart from/along with Mendy. Anyone who thinks otherwise should go ahead and sell him and miss out on all the points.

      4. Sid1891
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        All good
        Owning both

      5. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Keeping Alonso already sold rich for Shaq for this gw

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

        I have watched Rich play three games, he has passed the eye test twice. Brighton and Cardiff coming soon. Alonso has been great and good and delivered. I will keep.

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

          Fraser has to go though.

    • FPLShaqiri
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      FPL Draft: What order would you put these defenders in?

      a) Coleman
      b) Smalling
      c) Young
      d) Digne
      e) PVA

      I have had PVA since the initial draft and was happy to bench him for Palace's tough games and then play him when the fixtures improve, but maybe one of these is a better long term option anyway.

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

        Digne for the next few

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

          How come Digne over Coleman? Coleman looked more attacking today, but I haven't watched much of Everton this season

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

        Digne
        Smalling
        Young
        Coleman
        PVA

    • Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years

      Mon the sheep

    • Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Is Barkley prefered over Kovacic at the moment or is first one having injury?

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

        I heard Barkley preferred in away games
        No idea if that's actually a thing

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

        kova played midweek i think

      3. Sid1891
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        To me Kovacic connects better with Hazard

    • ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Moving on to F1 now

      Will Vettel win?

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

        nope hamilton

      2. Rash
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I've got money on max.. so he probably don't make turn one.

    • HD7

      I know it is early but here is my team fir next week...

    • Shatner's Bassoon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      DDG even getting points taken off after the final whistle these days. Utterly abysmal pick

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Why did he go from 4 to 3?

        1. Shatner's Bassoon
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Save point taken off. TWICE!

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            What a joke.

    • Demel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Which player is on your radar now that wasn't on it before the gw started? Murray for me.

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Auba. Ludicrously good scoring record, can’t ignore much longer.

      2. jomikijiq
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Barkley

      3. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Him as well.
        May go for Murray ahead of Arnie for now

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

        Barkley. Pereyra.

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

        Same, Murray. He could replaced Jimenez on my team

      6. AC Me Rollin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Morata

      7. HNI
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Martial. World class player for cheap

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

        Martial after the City game

    • Loðbrók
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robby-》VanDijk a good move if u need the 0.3?

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

        No

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

        No way

    • Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I wonder what the average cumulative autosub score is so far. With so many players not playing I reckon it will be considerable - somewhere between 5 and 7 perhaps?

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

        would love to know

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Depends who the autosubs are. A lot of AWB (1pt) and Bennett (2pts), Hojbjerg (didn't play) around. Richarlison (5pts) and Trippier (still to play) are also fairly popular subs.

    • Ruud000
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      There’s a real correlation between Alonso’s attacking returns and Hazard playing.

      Alonso has had attacking returns in every game Hazard hasn’t featured. In games Hazard has played, Alonso has only picked up attacking returns once.

      Seriously considering switching Alonso to Rudiger/Duffy and upgrading elsewhere.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Go ahead. Alonso is in my team until the end of the season.

          Is Hazard as well though?

        Alonso has had attacking returns in 5 games - it's only in this one that Chelsea were completely without Hazard. Hazard came off the bench in the first two, and was a starter in the next two out of Alonso's attacking returns.

      3. MTPockets

          One of his goals was assisted by Hazard (arsenal)
          Two of his assists were scored by Hazard (newcastle, bournemouth)

            also at least 3 assists were very fortunate/bs, like today 😀

              I like to have players who have a habit of being fortunate.

                Probably, but there's not a correlation if 3/7 attacking contributions involved Hazard.

          up to 8.7 mil MID I should consider to bring in?

          D.Silva?
          Siggy? (have Richarlison already)
          Martial?
          Pereyra?
          Barkley?
          Sb else...?

            Martial if want to take risk

            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I'd consider both Silvas with Bernardo as a frontruner due to price. He seems to be Pep's pet shop so far this season. Pereira is another option. Hard to ignore Martial and Barkley's last few performances, but not sure if returns are sustainable.

          The way this week is going, I bet Mendy and Sterling both benched tomorrow. My current score is 28 with Mendy Sterling to go.

              Would completely destroy my GW if that happened as Sterling is my new captain after Robertson didn't show up

                Better cross your fingers. I think Sterling will be benched with Sane and Mahrez starting.

                    Sterling's record last season vs Spurs was immense
                    1 goal, 1 assist in one game and 2 goals in the other

                    Based on what? I don't even own him but you've been speculating about an awful lot of benchings recently. Gut feels mean nothing.

                Likely IMO. Good time to bench them against tough opposition and having had a lot of travel to and from Shakhtar.

                Have to decide on Barkley tonight as he’s clearly rising and won’t be able to afford my other move.

                Got Maddie and Rich and need to lose one this week to fund KDB.

                Vote please! Who goes...
                A) Maddie
                B) Rich

                Alonso casually sitting on 72 points after 10 games... he will be 8.0 next year easily enough.

                14 goals, 12 assists, 33 clean sheets, and 37 baps in his last 74 games, and people still balk at paying 7.0 for him

                  7.5mn upper limit for defender in pricing structure

                  1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                    • 16 Years
                    7 years, 5 months ago

                    Vidic was 8.0 in years gone by when he was keeping 18 clean sheets and scoring 5 from corners with a few assists... a goal scoring defender in a top team attracts a serious premium.

                    I reckon Robbo - 7.0, Mendy 7.0, Alonso 8.0 next year.

                    There's no way the three of them are being got for anything less than 21.0m anyways
