Few line-up surprises as Wolves host Man United

Wolves and Manchester United have both named largely unsurprising line-ups for the first Monday night clash of the 2019/20 season.

As expected, Nuno Espirito Santo has made no changes from last week, retaining a 3-5-2 shape for his key men.

The majority of them were not involved when Pyunik were seen off 4-0 at Molineux on Thursday, so Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) and Diogo Jota (£6.5m) have both had seven days since their last start.

Popular budget midfielder Leander Dendoncker (£4.5m) continues to be involved in the heart of Wolves’ engine room, alongside Rúben Neves (£5.5m) and Joao Moutinho (£5.5m).

Matt Doherty (£6.0m) holds onto his right wing-back berth following injury in pre-season, with Jonny (£5.5m) on the opposite flank.

While Jota and Jiménez boast 19.3% and 11.4% ownership each, the wider Fantasy world does appear to be backing a Manchester United clean sheet.

That’s according to the ownership anyway, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) the most popular player in the Monday evening meeting.

He currently sits in 36.1% of teams while David de Gea (£5.6m) is owned by 20.4% and Harry Maguire (£5.5m) by 19.2%.

The Gameweek 2 captaincy debate also concludes with Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) getting the final say.

He comes into Gameweek 2 skippered by over 220,000 managers, making him the most fashionable captain at Molineux today.

Meanwhile, Daniel James (£6.0m) comes in for his firstever start for Manchester United in the Premier League.

“He has made an impact since day one. In pre-season, in training and he came on last week to get a goal. We’re going to chop and change at times. Andreas did well last week but today Daniel James is the right choice. Dan is Dan. He’ll give us the X factor of his pace, his attributes also off the ball will be important as he’s incredibly hard-working.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Wolves XI: Patrício; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez.

Man United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Pogba; Rashford, Lingard, D James; Martial.

      You might as well wildcard and get rid of Rico and Guilbert too before Lundstram rises.

    2. danlynch13
      • 8 Years

      Prob not

    3. KunDogan

    I need Wan Bissaka in my team.

    1. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years

      Indeed

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Really surprised at how well the whole team managed the initial press.

    3. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'm getting rid of VVD for him to fund Perez to martial. Have Robbo for cover.

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I think I'm losing Robbo for him tonight.

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years

  4. Il Papera
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is Moise Kean going to start starting? On MotD he looked sharp enough and considering Siggy to Martial and Jota to Kean...

    1. the vanisher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Do it

  5. Poseidon.
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I was laughed at on here for saying it would be between us and City for the title

    1. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

    2. Gnu

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      For good reason! City wont keep pace.

      1. Yank Revolution

        GLORY!! GLORY!!

        Yuck

  6. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is Perez to Mount worth -4?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      To afford another uograde?
      Not on its own IMO

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No

  7. piquiblanco
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How long does it usually take for statistics from this day's games to reach the Members section?

  8. GE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What do you think about Jota, Perez and Robertson -> Pukki, Martial and AWB (-4)?
    Or someting else? 🙂

    (2FT, 0.0 itb)

    Pope
    Robertson/VVD/Digne/Zinch
    Salah/Sterling/KDB/Perez
    King/Jota

    Bench: Button, Lundstram, Dendoncker, Wickham

    1. Artemis Titans
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Or just Perez and Robertson -> Martial and AWB for free?

  9. BadaBing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is bringing in Martial and Rashford too much?

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Rashford looks ROOP but in good form

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

    Poor by Martial at the end there. Pukki would never have wasted that chance

    1. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

    2. Triple P
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Martial looking good this game? Not watching unfortunately

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yes

      2. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Getting a lot of chances

        1. Triple P
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Great, will get him tonight. Cheers

  11. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Robinson and King
    To
    Martial and Greenwood

    Yay or nay?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yes if greenwood is bench fodder

  12. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Having a reasonable GW here and it’s making me want to WC even more so

  13. I Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Already on a -4 and I have double Liverpool defence, Digne potentially injured, Perez, Rico, and no United players. Would you Wildcard?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Go for it

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn’t

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Sure why not

      The likes of KDB & Martial have the quality to ensure they’re not flashes in the pan

      The likes of Pukki & Lundstram might be flashes in the pan, but have the price tags where it’s not so damaging

      Sterling & Salah look set for 550+ between them

      Pool defence may not CS until Becker gets back

      As good a time as any

  14. HNI
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    How was Perez vs Chelsea? Really tempted to do Perez to Martial for -4 for CPL home as sheffield defence looks quite decent for Perez to damage much

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

      Perez facing Sheffield thats why

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Too wide and pretty anonymous.

      Couple of good fixtures to come though...

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Perez was poor v Chelsea, I’m in the same not sure whether to sell or not, next 2 fixtures look nice

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He didn’t look great. Probably worth the hit. I’m tempted to hit the wc...always do it early and so many good options

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Pathetic tbh mate.
      Not involved at all.
      Worst thing is they looked better after ge gone off. Pure winger helped Vardy /Madison too imo.
      And yes, just get Tony in boy 😉

  15. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    We shouldn't forget Man U finished 6 points ahead of Liv in 17/18 with 81 points. Season could be tight at the top with maybe topping 90 points?

  16. Triple P
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is it worth it to ship out Moura for Martial, even if Spurs have Newcastle up next?

    Gut says yeah, brain says Moura could score

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      United have Palace i guess.
      Just Do it ✓

      1. Triple P
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate. Always follow the gut right!

    2. BobbyV
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Or could be benched/subbed early for Son

      1. Triple P
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        True that. Two good reasons to ship him out

  17. danlynch13
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A) Mount + VVD
    B) Maddison + Zinchenko

    1. Triple P
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      A, easy

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Neither

  18. specc
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Guys, look at my jammy gw1 wc team:

    Adrian - (Button)

    TAA - Digne - Wan B - Zinch - Lundstram

    KDB - Salah (c) - Sterling - Martial - (Dendoncker)

    Rashford - (Wickham) - (Parrot)

    I don't often get fpl decisions right so am over the moon right now....

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

  21. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Having had Vardy from start & selling ahead of SHU & Villa is stupidity right ??
    Thinking about giving him some time.
    Otherwise WC & ride KDB wagon ....

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      i'm WC'ing mate, the allure is too strong hehe. I'd prefer Maddison from Lei

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly
        Same here. It's almost a burden 😀

  22. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Very pleased a did the -4 with Barkley and Perez out for Cantwell and Martial for GW 2!

    A wildcard team of

    Pope (4 mil)
    AWB, Mina, 4.5, Lundstrum, Kelly
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Martial, Cantwell
    Kane, Puki, Greenwood is doable - just

  23. Hazardous1983

    Keep robbo or taa

    1. Triple P
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      TAA looks like getting more points

  24. drilsby
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is Robbo + Perez --> Zinch + Martial worth -8?
    Or should i just WC?

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Me too in terms of attack. Punting on Kane over mane or Salah for a few weeks.

      Can always switch back fairly easily.
