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.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

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

      Is he nailed tho?

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

        Should be with Solksjaer there, only ball playing CB in that team.

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

          Than he could possibly be better option than Shaw, who I was considering until now

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

      Shaw 4.9

  2. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      See above

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

      4.8

  3. sk24
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lacazette and Camarasa > Rashford and Martial for free and exact money
    Surely justifiable to do it right after the game?

    Rest:
    Fabianski, Hamer
    Alonso, Kolasinac, Digne, Doherty, Awb
    Sterling, Sane, Andreson, Rich
    Kane, Jimenez

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

      And who would you bench exactly

      1. sk24
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Is that really a problem this time of the year?

      2. sk24
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Would bench Jimenez, Kola, Awb

  4. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Lindelof the playmaker?!

  5. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Martial is so good on baps

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My wife confirms.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Heard he enjoys two juicy every night.

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

    Lacazette ➡ Rashford on the cards

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

      Definitely on the cards. Will be monitoring price changes as I’d like to delay it as long as possible.

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

    Kevin Victor De Lindelof

  8. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Laporte-Chicharito-Fraser 》》》 Digne_Rashford_Anderson for -4???

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

    Thank fook Liverpool played this bunch last weekend 😀

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

    Utd on course for 5 goals here

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And also on course for 227 goals here. Utter hyperbole

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

        I believe he meant 5 goals total, not for another 5...

  11. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Should've squared back to Lindelof.

  12. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance we can take Matic off?

    Would love to see how many we can score. Fred should give even more fluidity.

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

      We?

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

        Yes, Zladan contributes to Man U's success.

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    CBs getting higher up the pitch now?

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

    TAA + Fraser + Wilson > Digne, Martial + Rashford (-4)?

    I have 2FT, 1.3m ITB. Current team is -

    Fabianski
    Alonso, Doherty, Robertson
    Sane, Sterling, Richarlison, Fraser, F.Anderson
    Kane, Jiménez

    (Button)(Wilson, TAA, AWB)

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

      No

  15. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Won't Lukaku take Rashford's spot anyway

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

      Not definitive.

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe his position, but not his place.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure. Lukaku is a bit sluggish in comparison. The pace today has been tremendous.

    4. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      There's a better player than Lukaku in the making in Rashford for my money.

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

        A better all round player aye, but an inform Lukaku is going to bang the donkey goals in for fun.

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

          This

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

      Martial pogba safer.

  16. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I’m definately looking at Man Utd assets. But be realistic.

    I can already see the posts in two weeks where people are berating their Man Utd assets and removing for a hit 😉

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

      Well this is true

    2. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, Solksjaer is very attacking minded coach, these are good players and they have very tasty fixtures coming up

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

        Oh I’m aware but people will expect 4 or 5 goals every week

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

          This

    3. CaTriEm
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I abhor see the word "definitely" spelled with an "a". I expect better from you.

    4. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      think you can get away with a couple for the next 2 weeks as they ride this momentum. Unlikely to rotate as need the pts and to send a message at the start of the new regime

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think it's a no-brainer to get Rashford in if they're going all out attack on those fixtures.

      I'm definitely ditching Lacazette for him.

      Might even go retro and get Luke Shaw in if they look halfway secure at the back, he's down to 4.9m

  17. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fabianski - Patricio
    Robertson | Alonso | Dunk |
    Wan Bassaka | Bennett
    Sane | Haz | Rich | Snodgrass | Kayal
    Kane | Laca | Wilson

    Have two free transfers, 1.3 itb

    Do?
    Kayal and Wilson -> Martial and Kamara?

    What would you do?

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

    If u had to chose to sacrifice one of kane, auba and hazard, who will u sacrifice,?

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

      Auba

  19. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Has there ever been a FFS meet?

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

      They've met to play football and all sorts.

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

      Did you get yourself on the sauce earlier on mate?

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I did.

        BIG TIME

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

          Stout fellow.

    3. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah. Some guy lost his camera lense

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Virg met Mark once. Well I say met, Mark seen him hiding in a bush outside his house.

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

        LOL.

        It’s why he left the scout cast.

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

        First time he's seen a bush.

    5. Butcher
      • 12 Years

      Ye there's been a cuck fest

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Not nice

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

      Does a game of soggy biscuit count?

    7. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Don't you think there should be a national meet

      You know

      To sort out who needs to be graved permanently and all that

      And drink

      1. Alex_thekid

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years

        graved 😮

  20. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I feel Fergy's spirit is back channeling through Ole.

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

      Wow!

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

      Is he dead?

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

        Isn't he?

  21. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Solskjaer warming up.

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

      Too early for Solskjaer.

  22. Oh Mane Mane
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling to Sane and Fraser to Martial with 2 FT?

    Or is KDB a better option that Sane?

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

    Wilson to Rashford feels like a good move. Particularly if Lukaku is still on compassionate leave.

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

      Lukaku needs fat camp leave

  24. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling to salah and kane to Aguero for free?

    Yay or nay?

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

      No

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

      Ewww

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

      This is my thinking too

      1. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        As in yay or ewwwww

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

          As in yay

    4. MTPockets
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Aguero still looked pretty rusty

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

        You Should be captaining Kane at home to Bournemouth and Wolves, not selling him.

        1. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Probably right. Just feeling kneejerky as I sold salah on my WC just before his hattrick and this gameweek and my mini league rival captain him both times!!!

    5. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Balbuena & Wilson to Digne & Rashford could be good for long term.

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

        Yes

        1. AzzaroMax99
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Even if I already own Martial? 🙂

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

      would you do these moves for free?
      Laporte-Fraser 》》》 Digne-Martial

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

        Yes

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

        Yes

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

        Yes, well I wouldn't do those exact moves but they are ok.

      4. MTPockets
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe, assuming Digne doesn't get injured and plays 4 games in 10 days

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

        Hey everyone I'm new here
        This is my current team
        Ryan(Speroni)
        Doherty Holebas Bednarek Kolasinac (Lindelof)
        Hazard Sane Son Fanderson ( Oriol Romeu)
        Kane Mitrovic Jimenez

        Any suggestions for next gameweek i want a max -4 hit i done terribly this gameweek

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

          You need some Liverpool pal. Top of the league!

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

            I disagree.

            I don’t have any Pool either by choice. It’s a value thing.

            Salah. Expensive for someone who doesn’t get BAPS.

            Robertson. Expensive.

            Mane. Overpriced.

            I’ll wait for TAA and that’s it.

      6. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Pogba almost trying too hard now

      7. FPL Marc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Global rank has gone from 4k to 30k in the space of 4 GW, thanks to not having Salah and Aubameyang. Today is the final straw. What would you do to this catastrophe (2 FTs, £1.2m):

        Fabianski, Hamer
        Robertson, Alonso, Yedlin, AWB, Bennett
        Hazard, Sterling, F Anderson, Richarlison, Hojbjerg
        Kane, Wilson, Mitrovic

        Names under consideration: Rashford, Pogba, Digne, Salah, Sane, Ings.

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

          I don’t have them two either and haven’t dropped like that.

          Have you been taking hits ?!

          1. FPL Marc
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Nope, no hits.

            Recent transfers were Lacazette for Arnautovic, F Anderson for Kenedy and Mitrovic for Lacazette.

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

        Sterling to Salah and Alonso to Luiz (to facilitate the first transfer)?

        No hit.
