Sánchez earns start for Man United as Rashford shakes off yellow flag

Alexis Sánchez (£10.0m) has come into the Manchester United side for his first start since Gameweek 29.

The Chilean international has been in a front-three, but his position within that is yet to be confirmed with Marcus Rashford (£7.3m) also in the side.

The Englishman had been a fitness doubt ahead of Gameweek 37 but has overcome it, much to the delight of his 21.2% ownership.

Paul Pogba (£8.5m) is the only Manchester United player in more squads for Gameweek 37, so there will be plenty of interest in both of those two.

Meanwhile, his attacking partner Sánchez is one for those chasing extreme deficits in their mini-leagues and overall rankings.

He sits in just 1.2% of teams for the trip to Huddersfield and still remains a risk despite his start. The last time he featured from the beginning, Sánchez lasted just 51 minutes.

Elsewhere in the Manchester United team, there were welcome starts for those invested in their defence.

Luke Shaw (£5.1m) is the most popular, owned by 7.1%, while Victor Lindelöf (£5.2m) features alongside Phil Jones (£5.1m), who overcame a fitness doubt to start.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are also in action at the same time, with Eden Hazard (£10.9m) the most captained player of Sunday’s games.

410,000+ managers have trusted him with the armband after three double-figure hauls in his last four home matches.

He has been stationed on the left of an attacking front-three for Chelsea, with Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.0m) and Pedro (£6.2m) alongside him.

Owners of Chelsea defenders may be a little cautious given that Troy Deeney (£5.8m) is back in the Watford side.

He returns from a three-match suspension to play alongside Gerard Deulofeu (£5.7m) in a front-two, who has six goals and an assist in his last five away matches.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Christensen, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Hazard, Higuain, Pedro.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas, Doucoure, Hughes, Chalobah, Pereyra, Deulofeu, Deeney.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Bacuna, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Mbenza, Mooy, Hogg, Löwe; Pritchard; Grant.

Man United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Jones, Lindelöf, Young; Pogba, McTominay, Matic; Rashford, A Sánchez, Mata.

    Pogba keeps giving the ball away and can’t be arsed tracking back

    1. Brosstan

      Hes been awful. Keeps hogging the ball and slowing down the play too, no urgency

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        He really epitomises every thing that is wrong with some modern day footballers

        People probably realise now why Mourhino didn’t rate him

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          SAF knew

          1. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            He certainly did

          2. Yoshioka

            Knew what? Fergie was desperate to get him to sign a contract extension.

              No he wasnt. Pogba demanded more playing time and first team wages. SAF wanted him to stay but to gradually ease him into the first team. He and his agent then acted like entitled bellends so SAF used his judgment and let him leave despite his talent.

                Poor judgment cost the club 100m. About as good judgment as hiring football genius Moysie

              Fergie prefered to bring Paul Scholes out of retirement rather than play Pogba....
              He also played Rafael in central midfield ahead of him on one occasion.

            You are not wrong

          Mourinho desperately wanted him convinced the board to spunk 100m on him. Just soured oh him later

  2. Yoshioka

    Rashford not looking comfortable. Chances of him coming back out after half time?

    1. Oggle22
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Zero so so soft footballers

  3. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    So what happened to Lukaku? Injured or going to Italy

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I suspect Ole has told him to find a new club

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        That's a bit harsh.. He shld retire instead

  4. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    HT United game

  5. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford turning abissmal nowadays.. does he want to leave too?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Has always been reason why he was never a regular. Has always had the odd good game but has far too many stinkers

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Thought he'd now find the consistency.. but my fault..

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      If he is still carrying an injury as has been rumoured, it could go a long way in explaining performances.

      Too many United injuries to not hame him play, lest you chuck in the youth for full 90 minutes...

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe but at this rate he'd better get off to the bench.

  6. pingissimus

    Please can I hear from someone with less than 17 from 8.

    It’d be nice to think I’m still ahead of Son TCers anyway

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      24 from 7 with son TC

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Booooo

        Nice comeback.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      FPL General (soon to be FPL Reserve) was on 7 from 7

      1. Tev
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Any idea what his OR is? Keep seeing him complain so I’ll be annoyed if he’s top 100k

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          400k or something

    3. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      16 from 9...

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yay

        Way to go. Style.

        1. Vobinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Haz (c) and Rashford so hoping that changes sharpish.

    4. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      15 from 8. Went from a rank of 2K last week to 4 mill

    5. Tsssst
      • 12 Years

      17 from 8 too my man

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Just looked your team up - slight comedown from last week!

        (We’re actually very similar set ups. But that I took a hit to go from Vardy Son to Hazard Wilson)

  7. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is Moura a better or worse pick without Son in the team and Spurs struggling for points. They need a result and surely Moura leads the line vs. Everton. Thoughts?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      An average pick either way

    2. FPL DONKEY
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Spurs are absolute rubbish. Are you sure you want to own any of their players?

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Get an Everton player instead?

    4. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, definitely I will keep Moura when Son is suspeneed

  8. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Why didn't Trump's miss on the brown get called as a miss?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Fake news. Trump never misses.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Higgins needed a snooker to win the frame.

    3. Yoshioka
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Because he had her deported.

  9. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is there anything more irritating than when your stream is laggy the whole half then is perfect once you hit the half time ads?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Red arrows on bench boost and triple captain

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      There's a reason it is that way. You know nothing Jon Snow

    3. Tev
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Is it to do with traffic on the site? Always seems to lag for me just before goals, especially penalties

      1. Jon Snow
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Traffic on the site combined with my poor internet, I've given up trying to find a smooth stream

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Sounds like Pogba

    Do watford not know that they have nothing to play for and should be resting themselves for the fa cup.
    Why can't they be more like martial - unprofessional?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Watford always give 100% but I suspect next week they will be on the beach

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Last home game of the season is big for fans. And there's still a week afterwards before the cup final.

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years

      Shld be more like pogba and the other utd players

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years

      Need extra pampering

    4. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years

      The players are underpaid. That's the secret

  11. kime67

    hazard dont want to score today, he just wants to have fun on the pitch.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Boys just wanna have fun

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years

      He got in Sterling instead of himself in FPL this week

  12. Magic Zico

    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I thought by buying Hazard my Sunday would be enjoyable ... it’s not really is it? Hopefully second half gives the joy! 😉

    Celtic have apparently made an approach for Mourinho. Unreal patter.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Still bitter about Brendan

    2. Yoshioka
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I guess they have to have a go, but after he inevitably rejects them it's gonna make whoever they finally go with seem even more depressing and small fry. Imagine getting Moyes or sticking with Lennon after you've gone in for Mourinho.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      That's Jose's level now he should be biting their hands off

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Should Chelsea not have had a penalty for that guy kinda dragging Luiz down? Anyone else see it?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I’ve seen them given tbh

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nah

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      It would've been a soft one.

  15. Tev
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance Pogba is hauled off at HT? OGS trying to stamp authority

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      No.

  16. Rash
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard looking like bagging a hatty?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Ill be happy if he makes 60 and gets a CS point tbh

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      He looks like bagging a massive blank at this rate

    3. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Hatty of assists on the cards though!

  17. money face bandwagon
