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.

    Martial injured too?

    Tunnel job!

  2. Party time
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Martial going straight down the tunnel. Are there hookers there?!

    • Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No hookers and cocaine then 🙁

    • Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No one on here considered Martial before this game, now he's scored 2, the herds are coming for him.. People are soooo unbelievably knee-jerky 😀

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        a few did consider and many own, but no one was planning to get him in for the next GW is what I mean*

      2. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I bought him for Son 😉

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I own Martial too. But it's so funny when a player does well, so many people seem desperate to get them in 🙂

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            It would be strange if it were the other way around.

            1. Qaiss
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah, but as what I said above. People were mocking others for owning Martial, and now the herds want him. That's my point

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        To be fair, him and Pogba had outstanding chemistry when they were playing together.

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

        Especially Maddison sellers will get punished given Leicesters next 5 fixtures

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Can't they both do well

        2. Zero

      5. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Is Son and Rashford to Kane and Martial worth a minus 4? It is annoying having such an exoe aive player sat on the bench

        1. Blunder fc
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Just go son to martial or alli

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

        Rage transfer Richarlison to martial?

        1. bialk
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          No.

      7. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Not fussed. 15 points for the legend of Martial

        Thanks boi

      8. Rainer

        Oles best piece of management all year.

      9. Licky
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Looks like I'm gettin' those Greenwood points off of the bench. 🙂

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

          Why?

      10. balint84
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

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

          Dilva or Bilva you mean? Neither

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

        Rash and Martial both went straight to the tunnel

        Whats happening inside there? Whats in store for both?

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years

          Announcers speculating due to cold temps, no sense in sitting outside all sweaty (and theyre likely right)

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

            Not good. Both will be hungover at turf moore next gw then

      13. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Richarlison -> Martial is tempting.

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Are your knees jerking mate?

      14. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Martial and Rashford owners should be celebrating. Got points this GW and guaranteed to start next GW.

        Ask Ings owners how they are doing with a cameo and in Abraham's case,a blank and the possibility of not starting next GW.

      15. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Greenwood may get another i guess. Lone striker now

        1. Party time
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Lol

        2. Nomar

          Cup opponent has Sterling captain. Raz hatty inevitable.

          5. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Is Martial worth bringing in for Richarlison? Or keep faith on Everton doing well against Newcastle who were awful today?

        4. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I was all set on selling Alli and Martial on my wc this week. What now?? Keep surely but very little changes to be done. Pukki out for Ings. That’s about it. 😀

          1. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Well I mean selling Alli and Martial is a mistake whatever way you look at it

            1. sminkypinky
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Sure. Got lucky they didn’t go wild next week when I would’ve already have sold them

          2. Blunder fc
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Be a legend burn the wildcard

            1. sminkypinky
              • 14 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Hah! Wouldn’t be the Worst thing. I seldom do well with it. Actually a previous winner did burn it if I remember correctly.

        5. davies
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Is there an obvious Tammy replacement?

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Rashford. Guaranteed to start next GW.

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

            Batman

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

            Jimenez after next game week.

          4. Railwayman
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Jimenez, Ings, DCL or Rashford.

          5. Halftime
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Callum Wilson imo, great fixtures

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

          Ole hooking the important players so they can check the Liverpool - Leicester lineup in 4 mins. What a courteous guy.

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

          I think I need like a TAA 17 pointer, TAA is the closest thing to a differential I have lol

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

            Three players I own and consider differentials in top 10 k next match:

            Player (EO)
            TAA (32.5 pct)
            Maddison (33 pct)
            Salah (32.3 pct)

            Any points from them will mean a biiiig rank jump for me.

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

          Pogba is the pen taker now...owners be ready

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Not against Liverpool. But definitely against West Ham. West Ham are crap.

        12. Dacra
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          50 with TAA, Vardy, and KDB to go, could be great, could be bad if Mane/Salah haul..

          1. Weasel Boy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago
