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.

    Taa and jiminez to sidibe and rashford???

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'd keep TAA, good fixtures and great value.

    2. Blunder fc

      No good chance of cs for liverpool next two

  2. HurriKane

    TAA and AWB should hang out more in england training.

    Both could learn plenty from each other 😉

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      AWB doesn’t get picked.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You're assuming AWB gets called up.

      😆

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        He deserves it more over likes of trippier and walker

  3. Liberate HK - antichinazi

    Damn do something please Pogba

  4. Uns95
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Would you rather have Sterling or Kane?

    I am getting rid of Pulisic and Abraham, for either:

    a) Pulisic & Tammy > Sterling & Greenwood; or

    b) Pulisic & Tammy > Kane & Cantwell.

    (Could also afford Aguero & Cantwell instead/ anyone really...)

    Already have KDB, Salah, Grealish, Vardy, Rashford.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Honestly, neither. With you team Id want Alli

      1. Uns95
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Hm could also do that, and leave Tammy in? Would give me:

        Henderson
        TAA Lundstram Aurier
        KDB Salah Grealish Alli
        Vardy Rashford Abraham

        Soyuncu Rico Elneny

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Good team...maybe Jimenez over Abraham?

        2. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Oh and get a diff keeper (If you want to keep Lundstram). SHU fixtures are brutal!

          1. Uns95
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Yepp that's a potential option! Just conscious on City and weather KDB is enough cover with their upcoming decent fixtures...

            Ha yes I need to change, again unsure who - need to have a think!

  5. Gudjohnsen

    Tammy to Rashford a no brainer?

      Cost me about 1200 in rank (Pogba's 1 pt)

      1. have you seen cyan

  7. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years

    A) Son & Rashford > Salah & 6.5
    B) Son & TAA -> Salah & 4.7

      How is it ruining Christmas holidays?

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Watching United owners get gifted free goals over and over is horrible.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          logic doesnt prevail in fantasy

          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          So it's not the fact that there's games on, it's just that your FPL team is sh*te?

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            day of the casual, man u assests vs newcaslte were not a good option.

            1. Cilly Bonnolly
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              The fourth highest scorer in the game was.

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 6 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Man U have one game plan, IDK what Bruce was thinking today. Newcaslte f'ed it up, but thats football I guess

                1. have you seen cyan
                  • 6 Years
                  6 years, 4 months ago

                  besides, biggest issue with Rashford is that he is massively over-priced with likes of Maupay, Deulo, Ings, Jimi &, Pukki?
                  idk why people dont see that, maybe they dont care

                  1. Cilly Bonnolly
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                    6 years, 4 months ago

                    You have Trent Alexander-Arnold. Do you really want to have a conversation about overpriced players compared to well-performing, cheaper alternatives?

                    1. have you seen cyan
                      • 6 Years
                      6 years, 4 months ago

                      lol? TAA has to be owned

                      1. Cilly Bonnolly
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 14 Years
                        6 years, 4 months ago

                        At that price with three clean sheets to his name and five cheaper players outscoring him? He doesn't HAVE to be owned at all.

                      2. Cok3y5murf
                        • 9 Years
                        6 years, 4 months ago

                        I've owned TAA all season and can acknowledge that he's not been worth his price. I don't know why so many other owners continue to be in denial though.

                      3. have you seen cyan
                        • 6 Years
                        6 years, 4 months ago

                        not owning TAA is a mistake imo, I might be wrong. But I dont think so, you just have to keep him all season and you get all his hauls. He will end the season on higher points than whatever combination of players you tried to replace him with. Sure I concede he hasnt done amazing so far, but it will level out.
                        He is a scary player not to own, any game he could get 2+ assists or more, the stars will align soon.

                        Not might. You are wrong.

            6 years, 4 months ago

            Yea my team is shite because Newcastle decided to randomly mess up 3 times instead of being solid like theyve been all season. Rashford a terrible pick getting points. Season of the casual continues, pisses me off.

            1. Cilly Bonnolly
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              There are only three players in FPL with more points than Rashford. Explain to me how he's a terrible pick or how having him makes someone a 'casual'.

              1. Brosstan
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Because people like you who are clearly clueless own him

                  • 14 Years
                  6 years, 4 months ago

                  So no actual reasons or arguments? Just "you're clueless"?

                  Okay then.

              Casual of you to not anticipate that a team like Newcastle can mess up and putting faith in them.

  21. Jet5605

    Hey guys RMWCT please:

    Foster / Ramsdale
    VVD / Lund / Kelly / Rico / Kiko
    Salah / Mane / KDB / Alli / Cantwell
    Vardy / Maupay / Greenwood

    Yes heavy in midfield but Greenwood isn't the worse bench fodder after he just scored tonight.

    1. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Just go with Ramsdale, downgrade Foster to a bench fodder.
      Swap VVD for Leicester defender to give you funds for a better forward instead of Maupay e.g. Jimenez/Rashford/Ings/Tammy

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, good advice. My chasing rival has VVD and so I wanted to block him there as he's always liable to score with a header or two. The rest are my own picks and quite different to his team.
