Manchester United’s injury situation appears not quite as bad as first feared as Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) starts at right-back against Leicester.

The player had been flagged with a back injury in the week but has been declared fit for the first XI.

However, Paul Pogba (£8.5m), Anthony Martial (£7.7m) and Luke Shaw (£5.4m) are indeed missing for the Red Devils.

Marcus Rashford (£8.5m) starts the match in a central role supported by Daniel James (£6.2m), Juan Mata (£6.4m) and Andreas Pereira (£5.0m), which means substitute Mason Greenwood (£4.5m) still awaits his first league start of the campaign.

There are very few surprises for opponents Leicester other than Demarai Gray (£5.3m) coming in for his first Premier League start of the season, featuring alongside Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) and James Maddison (£7.1m) in a front-three.

Mason Mount (£6.4m) and Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) hold their places in the Chelsea team despite concerns about Champions League rotation setting in.

The changes come elsewhere in the side as it looks like Frank Lampard has opted for a 3-5-2 formation to match Wolves.

Antonio Rüdiger (£6.0m) makes a much-anticipated return in central defence, joined in the middle by Andreas Christensen (£5.0m) and Fikayo Tomori (£4.5m).

With Emerson (£5.5m) ruled out, Marcos Alonso (£6.2m) returns at left wing-back with Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m) on the opposite flank.

Opponents Wolves have restored Diogo Jota (£6.3m) to the starting line-up while Adama Traoré (£5.0m) is at right-back and Jesus Vallejo (£4.9m) and Romain Saïss (£4.4m) come in at centre-back.

Callum Robinson (£5.3m) is fit enough only for the bench for Sheffield United but David McGoldrick (£5.5m) is able to come through and start alongside Oli McBurnie (£5.9m).

John Lundstram (£4.2m) keeps his place in midfield, even as John Fleck (£4.9m) returns from injury, Luke Freeman (£5.4m) the man to make way.

Meanwhile, Southampton’s defensive situation looks a little unclear ahead of kick-off.

They have named three centre-backs in their team, Jan Bednarek (£4.5m), Jannik Vestergaard (£5.1m) and Maya Yoshida (£4.4m) but there is no recognised left-back in the starting line-up.

It is thought either Japanese international Yoshida will play that role in a back-four, or central midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (£4.9m) will fulfil it in a five-man defence.

In attack, Che Adams (£5.8m) is flanked by Sofiane Boufal (£5.5m) and Moussa Djenepo (£5.4m), who starts despite concerns over a muscle problem.

Finally, it looks as if there’s a different shape for Brighton as they name a 4-3-3 formation. It is possible that Dan Burn (£4.5m) and Adam Webster (£4.4m) are at full-back while Pascal Groß (£6.5m) starts in central midfield and Solly March (£4.9m) pushes forward into more familiar territory.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Webster, Duffy, Dunk, Burn; Groß, Stephens, Pröpper; Maupay, Murray, March.

Burnley XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Lennon, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Barnes, Wood.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Young, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Matic, McTominay; James, A Pereira, Mata; Rashford.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Choudhury, Tielemans, Ndidi; D Gray, Vardy, Maddison.

Sheffield Utd XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

Southampton XI: Gunn; Yoshida, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Cédric; Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Højbjerg; Djenepo, Adams, Boufal.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Sissoko, Winks; Lamela, Eriksen, Son; Kane.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Ward, Cahill, Sakho, van Aanholt; Townsend, Milivojevic, Kouyaté, Schlupp; Zaha, Ayew.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Vallejo, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Saïss, Traoré; Jiménez, D Jota.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga; Christensen, Rüdiger, Tomori; Azpilicueta, Mount, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso; Willian, Abraham.

    Bloody hell, Abraham again?

    Was it from another defensive mistake this time?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Yes

    2. Royal5
      • 15 Years

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Haha, makes sense then. Surely can't continue to happen!

        1. Royal5
          • 15 Years

          Plenty of luck

    3. Hazz

      • 9 Years

      It wasn't that bad of a mistake. He took it really well.

  4. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Number 34 OR wildcarded, brought in Mane and Son (and captained him). Fair play! https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/4103254/event/5

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

  5. Bartowski
    • 16 Years

    No assist for Tammy goal. Came to him via a tackle

  6. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    No Mount high enough

  7. THE Wild Rover
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Mount assist? Own him and Tammy

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      No

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Nah, he was tackled again.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Dammit

  8. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Mount got robbed of the assist by a Wolve player in both occasion

  9. Woy_is_back
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Played it safe and went KDB over Son. EPIC FAIL

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years

      Epic...I think you are being summoned

      1. Epic Fail
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        😀

    2. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      KDB hasn't played yet

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      You do realise KDB hasn’t played yet?
      And it’s against Norwich? Or is this news to you?

    4. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I have both and mane and Tammy

  10. @persecuted_by_mods
    7 years, 9 days ago

    This is getting very annoying, take the blinkers off. If it's an assist say it is, if it's not then don't. Stop chatting sh*t

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Dafuq?

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        People shouting Mount assist when it isnt

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Oh that. It's normally obvious if it is or isn't anyway. If only 2 people say it, it probably isn't. When the page is full of people saying it, it probably is

    2. Bartowski
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      To be fair its quite hard to tell in both instances until there was a replay.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Then keep quiet if not sure. Simples

        1. Bartowski
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          They were sure that was the problem.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah but in these instances I wouldn't start spamming Mount assist

        1. Bartowski
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          I mean it was quite hard to tell that it wasnt.

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      One of the biggest fallacies on FFS is the 'it's an assist because I own him, it's not an assist if I don't own him' mentality.

    4. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Calm down Deirdre

        Calm down dude

        1. Warbling Wendy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          calm down, it's only a commercial

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    I wonder what XG will be attached to Tammy's goal...

    He's already got 4 goals from 1.4XG in his last 2 games

  12. Rainer

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        It will amount to nothing

      3. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        He should get assists for the tackles leading to the goals

  15. Revival

    • 14 Years

    Wolves going backwards this season.

    1. diesel001

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  24. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Barnes looked like doing anything

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

      Harvey Barnes is kicking his heels on the bench

    2. JonBoy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Speculative long shot and couldn't latch on to a bobbling ball.

  25. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Tammy has scored three goals. Two Sheff Utd mistakes and a tackle just now that went straight to him. Caution for me.

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      I take that back hes scored more. norwich ones were good.

  30. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 9 days ago

    Already regretting every close wildcard decision... why is it so hard to own players at the right time.....

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Whinge? Doesn't sound a far cry away from what I've said.

      1. Brosstan
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        The difference, like I said, is the amount of time someone whines.
