Pogba still on Man United bench as Greenwood earns rare start

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) will have to wait a little while longer to get his first league start since returning from injury.

He has been named on the bench for the Gameweek 19 meeting with Newcastle United which kicks off at 17:30 GMT.

The Frenchman made his comeback with a 26-minute cameo against Watford in Gameweek 18 and still hasn’t featured from the beginning since Gameweek 7.

However, there is a rare start for Mason Greenwood (£4.3m), just his second of the season.

The youngster has been stationed on the right-hand side of an attacking midfield trio, Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) on the opposite flank and Anthony Martial (£7.7m) up-front.

Meanwhile, there is some rotation for Newcastle United too.

Dwight Gayle (£5.0m) comes into the line-up in the place of Andy Carroll (£5.4m), who finds himself on the bench.

Joining him among the substitutes is central midfield pair Jonjo Shelvey (£5.1m) and Isaac Hayden (£4.4m), who have been replaced in the first XI by Sean Longstaff (£5.0m) and Matthew Longstaff (£4.5m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, A Pereira, Greenwood; Martial.

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Lejeune, Fernández, Schär, Manquillo; Almirón, M Longstaff, S Longstaff; Joelinton, Gayle.

    United will do well to score 3 goals as easy as 1, 2 & 4 today.

    Newcastle blew this one up after going 0-1 up. Another false dawn for Ole.

    Wc draft:

    Salah Kdb Martial Alli Cantwell

    Only 3 changes in current team but when it works...? Opinions?

      Lovely from Greenwood. Back to the bench for him now in my FPL team.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cantwell last GW, Greenwood today, great fillers.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years

          Yes. Rico next GW?

    3. Eleven Hag

      perfect

  13. lordkippe

    26 with TAA, Vardy, KDB & Sterling left is pretty bad. Tired of bad gws. Looking for some answers that will make med get a green arrow

    Pope ( Button )

    TAA - Kelly - Soy ( Targett, Lundstram )

    Sterling - KDB - Pogba - Pulisic - El Ghazi

    Vardy - Rashford ( Wickham )

    A : Sterling > Salah/Mane ( But risky in terms of points and rotation )
    B : Wickham > Deulofeu
    C : Pulisic > Alli
    D : Pogba, Pulisic & El Ghazi > Dendoncker, Grealish & Salah - 8
    E : Other

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Was directed to Lordkippe

      C for me Pulisic needs to go, twice he has been benched and no returns in 7 games.

      Surprised you still have Sterling, would switch him to Mane or Salah

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

      That score sounds pretty average to me.

      Pogba > Alli if Liverpool are relatively quiet today.

      Sort Pulisic after Arsenal.

      1. lordkippe
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        yeah maybe nott to shabby but losing groundt each week. My players just dont deliver the points. only return so far this gw is Rashford. Targett on my bench

    A. Hold.
    B. Abra to Rashford
    C. Pogba to Maddison/Martial
    D. Defender of choice for Sidibe.
    E. B plus C (-4)

    Which defender to bring in for PVA who got injured today? 1.9 itb.

    Henderson Pope
    TAA Söyuncu Lundstram Dunk PVA
    KDB Maddison Alli Grealish Willian
    Vardy Rashford Abraham

      Just a thought, let the gw finish before asking? What if TAA/Soyuncu gets a red/injury for example

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

        Some early thoughts wouldn't hurt.

        1. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Well I guess Sidibe/Digne could be options

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sidibe is a good option but think you should save some money to upgrade your starting mid. Don’t need such an expensive 5th mid if you have 3 strikers.

      All I'll say as a Ryan owner for the last few weeks is that he had been a bit disappointing.

    Well having Martial as a differential was fun while it lasted

  24. bobbysmith76

    Any thoughts on my WC team? 0.0 ITB
    Ryan (Button)
    Aurier Rico Sidibe (Lundstram, Simpson)
    Grealish KDB Tielemans Salah Martial
    Kane Vardy (Greenwood)

    1. bobbysmith76
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not a huge fan of only having one keeper that gets minutes, but the only way I could manage this side

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

      You don't need Tielemans. Downgrade him and upgrade Simpson.

      1. bobbysmith76
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        One option:

        Tielemans > Harry Wilson
        Simpson > Kelly

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      tielemans is the weaklink

  25. balint84
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Rico, Kelly, Kiko F, LordLund, Targett

    should bench 2 of them.
    maybe Targett+Lundy?

    Amazon will be paying big bucks for Thierry Henry. Wondering how serious they are about taking on Sky and BT. Seem they have plans for complete world domination of everything. 🙂

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years

      I think it would be awesome if they had every game all season and you can watch what you want

    2. Je suis le chat

      They won't dominate much with him. I've boycotted them for a few years since the scandals re working conditions.
