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.

    Daniel James is such a machine. Poor crosssr but he can learn that. What he need not learn is zeal and never say die while chasing lost balls! What speed and stamina

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

      Plus his best position is left wing.

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

        Which is same with Martial Rashford Sanchez ...
        What a brilliant strategy by United.
        (I'm looking at you Mr. Woodward !!)

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

          I'm hoping that Sanchez's best position is at Inter.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      I think he is the greatest player in the history of the game.

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

        And the future!

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 20 days ago

          But also the past...

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Like a young Obertan

  2. SoccerBoi69
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Can get to this setup with a -4. FirmiNO, or a firm yes?

    Pope
    VVD Digne Zinchenko Shaw
    Sterling KDB Son Martial
    Firmino Pukki

    1. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      No

    2. @NF_Janner
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Firmi-f#$k-no

    3. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Great team, prefer AWB not Shaw but it's up to you

  3. The_Fish
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Bottomed...

    A) play Soyuncu
    B) King to Pukki for -4

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

      A

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

      Play Soy

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

    Anyone know how last man standing works and what the cut off is this week?

    I'm assuming it's your points that week less any transfers?
    Is it simply the field gets halved each week?
    Can't see a way to see easily how many people in league...just my own position so.makes it difficult to work out how I'm sitting ...

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

      30 so far is safety score. Yes, points minus transfer hits. It isnt important how you finish each week, just get over that safety score and survive.

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

        Cheers

        How is the safety worked? Is it 30 each week.... set prior to GW or based on the fields performance ?

  5. bangers and M*A*S*H
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Worth a -4?

    In Martial and a 4.5 att for Barkley and King.

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

      Yep

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      What formation would you play?

      1. bangers and M*A*S*H
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        3-5-2 most weeks. Maybe 4-5-1 every now and again

        1. Do I Not Like Orange
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 20 days ago

          Go for it if you feel your 5th mid/4th defender are strong enough

  6. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    VVD > AWB
    Auba > Kane
    Perez > Martial

    -4 hit needs to be done I think

    1. gedda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      I am on similar moves. Think Auba is worth holding on to but the next couple of fixtures are rough

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

      I cannot afford that 🙁

  7. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Salah and Robinson to Mane and Lanzini?

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

    I think we should all pack up and leave. Manchester United have won the title in August for the third successive season.

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

      Relax, always a next year 😉

    2. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      something something 31 years

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Finally some sense on this board 😉
      #letmedreampls

    4. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      But this time it's really true!!!

    5. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      you are so annoying lol

    6. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      United lost 2 of the first 3 games last season so try again

    7. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      GGMU

  9. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Kane and McGinn

    Or

    Vardy and Mane

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      B easy

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

      Its not the same price at all

    3. gedda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Short term A gives you a decent (C) option this week

    4. BobbyV
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Rashford and Mane

  10. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Already on a -4 after bringing Martial & Dunk in. WC or no?

    Pope McGovern
    Dunk TAA Digne Guilbert Rico
    Salah Sterling Moura Perez Martial
    Wilson Pukki Greenwood

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      could be justified
      2 defenders not playing
      Moura potentially rotated
      Wilson/perez will drop in price soon

    2. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Hold WC, you got a nice 352 for this week

  11. Dr. Rog
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    just brought in Martial, Rashford and Awb for a -8.
    feels good man

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

    2. yakirh

      Man Utd fan?

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

      Lol

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      You might as well waited until the end of the match. Hopefully no injuries happen...

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

      People may lol, but it's not even like that doesn't have a chance of paying off.

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

      Rashford and AWB injury and red card.....

  12. Freaki
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Drop Kane for martial?

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

      You can't

      1. Freaki
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Or is there any options in mid;
        Mane KDB sterling McGinn

    2. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Makes sense

    3. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Would have to do other changes in midfield

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    On a free Martial in for

    A Perez
    B Moura

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      A

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

      A

    3. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      A

    4. FOMFF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      A. Great move. Keep Moura - Newcastle this weekend

  14. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Da feck. Martial stole my Shaw goal.

    I own Martial as well tbf

    1. gedda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      A roller coaster of emotions.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Shaw has been fantastic.

  15. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Current team:

    Pope (4.0)
    Robertson TAA Digne Zinchenko (Lundstram)
    Salah Sterling Martial Perez (Dendoncker)
    Wilson Jota (Greenwood)

    Got 2FT:
    A. TAA and Wilson to Pereira and Rashford
    B. TAA and Jota to 4.5 and Rashford
    C. Other suggestions?

  16. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Note to self: Do not start the season with Diogo Jota

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

      Que Jota goal next week

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Cue

  17. Catsandhats
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Siggy and Robertson for Martial and Wan B?

  18. rjcv177
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    With KDB on board

    A) Kane (C on gw3) + Martial
    B) Sterling + Rashford

    Thkx in advance

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

      B coz Sterling

  19. Zladan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    VVD Perez to Kelly Son?

    Lunny and Kelly rotating.

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

      Kelly won't most likely rotate for long once Sakho and Tomkins are back

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Well I geuss this is where the price for Martial starts rocketing.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      7.9 by Saturday

  21. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Any Wolves goal? Not looking likely is it?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Game of 2 halves. The Wolves players are probably getting a halftime rollocking.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Don’t think they’ve had a shot

  22. Moose™
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Digne to AWB for a hit? Yay or nay?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Nay

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

      Why? Digne has so much more potential.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Oh, god

    4. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Absolutely not

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Nay

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

      Hell no

    7. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Nope

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    I need a Digne injury update!

    We only have a post-match comment saying he felt tired in the muscle and signalled to come off.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Between the lines I think he’s fine

      Even if he misses a game I’m fine with it

      Season keeper if ever there was one

      1. thepeen555
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 20 days ago

        Agreed. for me would just be a player that will get subbed.

        Just make sure I got the right subs lined up

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

      Hopefully Silva is nice to us on Thursday.

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

      It needs to be scanned and Baines is ready.

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

    Red arrows before the United CS points hit!

    Do t fail me know Jota. (You will.)

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

    A: Robbo & Perez --> Zinch & Martial -8 hit
    B: WC
    C: Take some valium

  26. Aaaatsu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Okay people:

    - Who would you choose between Mount and Ceballos. ?

    Are they both nailed and on set pieces now?

    1. AndyCook
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Ceballos still a risk when Ozil returns possibly

    2. Prottay28
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Mount for easier games!

  27. AndyCook
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Do we think Moura will start this week? If not he has to go

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Impossible to know. He will get minutes though, which may well be enough.

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

    Cheap enablers are needed to make a WC work.

    Pukki looks the prime candidate on here, who's the next best? 6.5m(ish)

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Whoever scored this week

    2. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Forward I assume? Jota and King are your best bets for now

    3. AndyCook
      7 years, 20 days ago

      Jota..

  29. Prottay28
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 days ago

    Martial+Haller
    or Rashford+Lanzini

    Thanks!
