Solskjaer, Mourinho and Santo name unchanged sides for Sunday’s matches

There is plenty of interest for Fantasy managers in Sunday’s two 14:00 GMT kick-offs.

Manchester United take on Everton at Old Trafford, while Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Molineux.

There aren’t many team changes around from Gameweek 16.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named the same starting XI that beat United’s cross-city rivals in the Manchester derby.

Having made a raft of alterations in European dead rubbers in midweek, Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo also revert back to the sides that performed well last weekend.

The only manager to make any starting XI changes is interim Everton boss Duncan Ferguson, who welcomes Seamus Coleman and Yerry Mina (both £5.3m) back from injury.

Bernard (£6.4m) and Tom Davies (£5.3m) are also drafted into the team, with Theo Walcott (£6.2m), Morgan Schneiderlin (£4.4m), Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) all dropping out of the squad.

Walcott and Schneiderlin’s absences are enforced due to calf injuries, while Sigurdsson and Sidibe were both taken ill ahead of today’s game.

Marcus Rashford (£9.0m) was the most-bought Fantasy Premier League asset of Gameweek 17 and now sits in more than one in four FPL squads.

Rashford has also been transferred in by more Fantasy managers than any other player ahead of Gameweek 18, despite facing two fixtures before then (United are also in EFL Cup action in midweek, although the visit of Colchester United will likely lead to plenty of rotation).

Rashford has only blanked once in the last eight Gameweeks.

Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) is also on a pretty good run of eight attacking returns in the last nine Gameweeks, although hasn’t found the back of the net in his last three league run-outs.

The Mexican striker was sold by more FPL managers than any other player in both Gameweeks 16 and 17.

Dele Alli (£8.7m) and Son Heung-min (£10.0m) have been picking up plenty of owners over the last month.

Since Mourinho first took charge in Gameweek 13, Alli and Son average 9.5 and 9.25 FPL points per match respectively.

Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Diogo Jota (£6.1m) come into Sunday’s game at Molineux off the back of their highest scores of the season, meanwhile.


Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, James, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Mina, Keane, Digne, Bernard, Davies, Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Doherty, Coady, Saiss, Dendoncker, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Traore, Jota, Jimenez.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Dier, Sissoko, Dele, Son, Lucas, Kane.

    4 players left today and got 9 points was looking forward to a tad more to be honest.

    80pts all out. Just need Kdb to keep quiet and I should maintain my rank

    What exactly did Moise Kean do wrong? Lad is finished at Everton surely, what a confidence killer

    1. Sailboats

      Big Dunc doesn't like him for some reason

      Who are you referring too, Old man?

    I have a green arrow and moved up exactly 18 places 😀

    Have no players in the next game though and only Kelly so probably will be a red at the end.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Would be great if you were 19 th at the start.

        Haha 😀 ...but unfortunately not, am around the 36k mark

    So out of the majority owned so called mid price forwards Jimmy was the only that again delivered.
    Tammy, Rashford, Ings all blanked !

    44 points with KDB and ryan left, didnt see that low score coming looking at my team ahead of this gw

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lol we must have the same team.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Never fails. Whenever I think I’m about to haul it goes to sh*t.

    3. TomSaints

      Tell me about... on Friday I was thinking 80 points + comfortably

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Now then... Pulisic to
    A) Moura (leaves me a nice 1.7 ITB)
    B) Alli (exact cash)

    1. Hitmonlee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I’m in the same boat. Thinking Moura to double up with Son. If Kane gets injured Moura becomes a striker

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Would still say Alli, as Moura a rotation risk over Christmas.

  12. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    With that performance today, is the Son and Alli double up overkill?

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A Ryan goal and two pen saves too much to ask for?

  14. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Red arrow for you, red arrow for everyone.

  15. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Another point closer to the safety of 40 points for Utd, the haters said relegation!

  16. Saxe-Gotha
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    0.5 ITB and 2 FT. Is triple Spurs too much or would you do something else?

    Ryan / Button
    Robbo / Soy / Lund / Kelly / Willems
    Mane / KdB / Son / Mount / Cantwell
    Vardy / Rash / Tammy

    Robbo > Aurier?
    Mount > Alli?

    Well guys, you know the rules. All players who didn't score this week have to be transferred out.

    That's Rashford, Kane, Ali, Son, Mount, Abraham all out.

    Additionally if Sterling hasn't scored within the first 26 seconds, it's clear he'll blank today and you made a mistake by having him.

    1. EMBOLOFAN

      lol

  18. FFSbet.com

  19. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    hmm what was eriksen's reaction/the reaction to him after his corner led to Vertonghen's goal?

    Seems very likely he's leaving but curious if there was anything noticeable

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      he burst into tears

  20. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Time for Jesus and KDB to crucify Arsenal.

  21. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Damn it Spirs pts

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      *spurs

  22. Stef rocks
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I expect De Bruyne to be playing way up front with Rodri Fodden and Gundogan all starting - big haul incoming!

  23. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

  29. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    51 points all out. Very unlikely to be a green arrow. Need Palace to lose the CS and City to keep quiet

  30. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    70 points all out. No need KdB blank

    1. Niho992
