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.

    Utd would be the only team to concede to Huddersfield.

    Don't really mind Pogba off to somewhere else next season.
    Not a captain material, only cares about himself.

    They need to get rid of Woodward, decisions have been very poor?

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

      but tractors

    2. Dr Van Nostrand

    Might have guessed Luiz would score the moment I transferred him out after being in my team all season.

    Ditto was guaranteed Man U would concede to Hudds after I opted for Shaw after planning all week to get Coleman.

    Can't wait for this season to end!

    1. Revival

      What happened your Psychic powers then?

      I was so close to bringing Luiz in to TC but in the end I didn't, no clue why!

      I'm beyond my sell-by date. Octopus normally only live for a couple of years.

    Hazard running away with 3 baps 😀

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years

    Gary Neville is NOT a happy camper

    After Everton he called the players Japanese knotweed

    He’s just said they’re a despondent group of people

    Not a fan of Ed Woodward either lol

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Very racist from Neville. Chong is not even Japanese

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not even a Japanese name 😀

      Higuain has to be the worst player in fpl. May Allah forgive me for having him in my team

    • acidicleo

    • pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Just had a look at my h2h ml - one dude in other semi has 14 from 8 players (Mane cap) and 28 on bench.

      Just to add to the fun he hasn’t played bb yet.

      Man city clean sheet tomorrow and I am laughing.

    • One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      There's a long way to go and this could yet turn into a walkover but every year, there's one newly promoted team who seems to get a shock result against Man Utd. I don't think Wolves could truly count as the shock this time out. Come on Hudds

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hardly a shock with this team though is it? Absolute farce

    • JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Need Watford to wipe out that cs.

    • Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Any idea why my rank dropped so much when that HUD goal went in?!

      Dropped from 39k to 42k in the space of a minute (on LiveFPL)

      I don’t have anyone playing today

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Probably Chelsea clean sheet coming through

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Yep got it!

      2. FPL DONKEY
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Because it hit 60 minutes and Chelsea players got their clean sheet I presume

      3. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Players passing the 60th minute mark.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Yep didn’t notice the time!

      4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Probably to do with Chelsea CS points being added

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Yep well done. Was being slow

      5. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Well done lads! CS points for Chelsea it was!
