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.

Lessons learned from Gameweek 2

    AWB shot. Get him in.

  2. Crystal Alice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    AWB shooooots... oh

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Wan bissaka with that attacking threat

  4. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Wan-B shot sighted at the space station

  5. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    If AWB is worth his transfer fee..... how much would TAA and Robertson be worth? 80m and 90m??

    1. Poseidon.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      AWB was 35m and better than them so maybe 25-30ish?

    2. Kim Jong Kün
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Probably. But if Maguire is, then 275 and 300.

  6. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    son or firmino long term?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      No contest, tbh. Son gets more points for goals, and CS points as well... Also gets more goals

      Assuming you have Salah/Mane, Son also gives a captaincy option

  7. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Is Jota playing?

    1. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      yes

  8. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Who would have got the assist for Pogba penalty

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Pogba won it, so no Craig Noone.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      no one

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        or should I say, no Wan

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Nice then

    4. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Pogba. He denied himself 8 points.

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      You trying to rub salt into Pog owners wounds?

    6. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Pogba was fouled.

    7. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      No one

    8. Kim Jong Kün
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      They don't give one. I always thought if you get it + score it you should get both points but they don't do that unfortunately.

    9. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Pogba

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Pogba missed 3 penalties in the league last season I recall

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Given 12, United scored 9.

      2 in 2 so far, one of their many advantages.

  10. Chilli Heatwave

    Taa & Perez to AWB & martial for -4?

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Have vvd and salah

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Not good moves

      1. Beatle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Martial is, AWB not so much

        1. Chilli Heatwave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 20 days ago

          Have to to be able to afford martial

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Keep TAA...

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Rashford with a wan bissaka effort

    1. The Truth Is...
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Big hype job

  12. diesel001

    7 years, 20 days ago

    People keep acting like VAR was brought in to give more goals. That was never the point. It was mainly brought in to stop bad goals being given. It is goals like that Thierry Henry handball goal against Ireland, or Boly's handball goal against City last season that VAR was for.

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Yet Barca are fully expected to benefit from refereeing even more than usual.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Expected does not mean it happens. Remain was expected to win the EU Referendum.

        I think you are a conspiracy theorist.

      2. Klein
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Lol expected by who?

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Yep

  13. Kim Jong Kün
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    I was thinking I needed Man U before this game, but not so sure anymore.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      I think Martial is really decent.

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Chelsea was very poor but should have scored twice in that game...

  14. Knallie
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Comments on this lot?

    Ryan
    TAA / Zinchenko / AWB / Coleman
    Sterling / Salah / KDB / Martial
    Pukki / King

    Button, Lundstram, Cantwell, Greenwood

    Tried to fit Rashord in but would end up with two non-lplaying 4.5 strikers
    Pukki + King should outscore Rashford + Cantwell/Lundstram, right?

  15. dalexp
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Should I swap Wilson and Mount for King and Martial?

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      No Neves the chosen one now

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      You have Mount and you want rid?

      1. dalexp
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Was thinking Martial might be better.
        and I can do it if I swap Wilson for King to get the extra cash.

  16. niko mate
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    I can't stand Lingard anymore. Why there are no subs yet?

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Anymore?

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      What pushed you over the tipping point from tolerance to ambivolence?

      1. niko mate
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        I'm a United fan, I had hope in him, he's sometimes good, but only sometimes.

  17. Freaki
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Honestly, these Man U attackers showing what they are truly are mediocre players. Maybe they are trying to fool us into buying them!

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Rash and Martial have returns in 2 straight.

  18. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Come on lads!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Please tell Jota to get his shooting boots on.

  19. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Apart from the finish, Martial has been very poor

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      First half he was class

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Like always

    3. Hazz

              • 11 Years
              7 years, 20 days ago

              21140. To describe him as very poor is the ramblings of a man who doesn't understand the (real) game

              1. Guru Mediation
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 20 days ago

    • 16 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Is there a worse team at taking set pieces in the league.. Would've loved maguire but noone can Find him

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Mata is the only one that can take them.

  21. chichorito
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Barkley to mount (free transfer) is decent?

    1. Macam Dave
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Defo look at mounts stats in members area. Excellent value and my next sub in

      Also Chelsea fixtures amazing

    2. THE Wild Rover

  22. Riders of Yohan

    TAA / VVD + king —> AWB + pukki?

    Not for a hit

  23. Poseidon.
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    come on utd

  24. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    4 - Paul Pogba has missed four penalties in the Premier League since the start of last season; the most of any player in the competition. Fluffed. https://t.co/NI1odCCBg5

    1. Klein
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Its the run that counts. He was too fast.

  25. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    How's Lingard still on the pitch?

    1. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      He's not

  26. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Priority to get Pukki or Martial? Dont think both are worth a hit.

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Look at pukki's fixtures

  27. Mcbazburger
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Really important decision here:

    Cantwell or Douglas Luiz?

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Cantwell plays much further forward

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Cantwell. LM, taking corners.

      "We need to cut out the errors, goalscorer Luiz at £4.5m obviously bagged but I wouldn’t expect him to be scoring too many, he’s a pure a defensive midfielder."
