Paul Pogba (£7.8m) returns to the Manchester United line-up as the Red Devils travel to Cardiff City on Saturday evening.

The Frenchman has been absent for the last three Premier League Gameweeks under Jose Mourinho, but new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has shown faith in him.

There are also starts for Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) and Anthony Martial (£7.3m) with Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) joining them in thr forward line.

Meanwhile, Solskjaer has gone with Luke Shaw (£4.9m), Phil Jones (£5.1m), Victor Lindelöf (£4.8m) and Ashley Young (£5.7m) for his back-four.

Neil Warnock made no surprise selections for Cardiff as Callum Paterson (£5.3m) continues to lead the line, with Victor Camarasa (£4.6m) operating just behind him, Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Junior Hoilett (£5.0m) on the wings.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge; Cunningham, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Arter, Gunnarsson; Murphy, Camarasa, Hoilett; Paterson.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Jones, Lindelof, Young; Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Martial, Rashford, Lingard.

    Sane and Rondon to Rashford and Mahrez

    1. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      what? no, lord no

      1. PrettyDick
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        regarding Mahrez at least. If you're going that route just do Sané to Martial (but I think there are other players better suited to transfer out than him)

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

      Wut?

    3. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      no

  2. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with this mess?

    Fabianski
    Robertson/Kolasinac/AWB
    Sterling/Sane/Hazard/Anderson/Richarlison
    Kane/Jimenez

    Hamer/Doherty/Schindler/Kamara

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sit tight

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

      Great team, roll the FT.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing, everyone’s had a bad week

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hold and play doch

    5. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      looks fine

    6. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I don’t see what’s wrong exactly

  3. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Laporte -> Digne
    Wilson -> Rashford

    For -4, worth or not?
    Sorry repost.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      just do rashford this week and digne next, laporte plays vs southampton

  4. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is this worth -4?

    Alonso Wilson ➡ VvD Rashford

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

      Just Wilson to Rashford.

      Even though Alonso has been terribly out of form.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not enough cash for that

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

          VVD faces Arsenal and City soon. Will look elsewhere if you were shipping Alonso.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Robertson instead

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Concern he could be benched

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      depends on your bench but not a good time to bring in vvd really

  5. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Auba or Aguero?

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

      None of you don't own any of them

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

        *if

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Auba

  6. Lukakwho
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Is selling Richa reallt bad? He hasn’t scored as well away from home as he has at home and he has a few away fixtures coming up...

  7. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Pogba a tempting punt...

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Is that cockney rhyming slang?

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It would be accurate if it was

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

      Think you misspelled something there.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hahaha took me a second.

        How has he looked though today?

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

          Seems like him and the rest of the bunch are finally enjoying themselves. Mourinho is gone and gone is the toxic environment.

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Like the punt he is.

        3. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He hasn't actually done much. Just happened to have been the last person to touch the ball before a couple of goals.

  8. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Exact funds for Kamara to Rashford

    Would give below with 0 ITB
    Hart (Fabianski)
    Doherty - Alonso - Robertson - Digne (Dunk)
    Sterling - Fanderson - Richarlison - (Fraser) (Lerma)
    Auba - Kane - Rashford

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Do it

    3. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Definite improvement

      • EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        yep

    4. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Auba, success and ward (2 bench fodder) out for rash, martial and Jimenez for -4?

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        yes

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

      Any thoughts on what to tackle first?

      Ryan, Hamer
      TAA, Delph, Luis, Doherty, Kiko Femenia
      Hazard, Richarlison, Sane, F Anderson, Hojberg
      Kane, Wilson, Lacazette

      1. BOATIES FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Just sort Ryan out soon. Rest looks OK

    6. Lukakwho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I need 16 points to get through in the cup from Kane and Son. Is there any hope?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No

      2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No, no 2 players have ever scored more than 15 combined in a game.

    7. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Utd's fixtures are so good now. Time to get in Martial?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah

        1. Lukakwho
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Who is sacrificed in a midfield, Anderson or Richa?

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Would rather keep both if possible but Anderson if forced.

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        For whom?

    8. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      But of a fluke loss for CHE? Unlucky not to score from what I heard.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Alonso really should have scored

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Leicester did well

    9. FPLAdmiral
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling, Wilson, Kane > Salah, Rashford, Aubameyang (-4)?

      Knee jerk or sound moves?

      1. BOATIES FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I like it

      2. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Knee jerk

      3. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Knee jerk

      4. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Huge knee jerk

      5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Wilson to Radford could be worth rest kneejerk

      6. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Knee jerk galore. Would only do Wilson to Rashford maybe

        1. FPLAdmiral
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Could do Fraser + Wilson > Martial + Rashford for free?

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

        No way. Kane (c) for his next 2 fuxtures

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

        Classic knee-jerk.

    10. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Asking again, if it was handball should Rashford not have been booked?

      1. noahzark22
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        no

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Don't think so. Believe it or not, there's such a thing as unintentional handhall, even though the wording of the rules make it sound like there isn't.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Meet me in the Handhall, Mr Weasly

        2. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I see Deulo, cheers

    11. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who is better, Rashford or Martial?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        In FPL or reality?

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          In FPL

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            To be fair the answer is Martial either way anyway I suppose.

      2. waitinginthelonggrass
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Martial but Rashford offers great value

    12. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A) Lingard and TAA
      B) Martial and 4.5 DF

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        b

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          B

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        any option that doesnt involve lingard

    13. Lukakwho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What’s the deciding way if scores are tied in the cup?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        goals scored in the gameweek I think

        1. Jimmy Boy
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Goals scored, then goals conceded then a coin toss

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Tells you on the cup page.

    14. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone worse then me? All blanks besides Roboo CS 🙁

      Scared to even see projected ranking 🙁
