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.

    I'll never be able to get rid of Pope will I?

    Pope
    TAA Soyunca Dunk
    Mane KDB Alli Grealish
    Vardy Rashford Jimenez

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

      Why not this GW?

      Team looks good and bench looks fine too. Pope to Guaita if you can afford.

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

      Pope to Guaita or Ramsdale this week surely?

  2. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    3 questions:

    1. Best GK: Ramsdale, Ryan or other?
    2. Martial or Rashford?
    3. Ings or Jimenez long term?

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

      Ramsdale
      Rashford
      None

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      1. Maybe Ryan

      2. 50/50

      3. Jimmy, better team

      I wish I could help more but this are all hard choices imo.

  3. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison > Mo/ Mane for free?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I’m doing either Richarlison or Moura >> Salah.

      Undecided who though.

  4. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo on a WC?

    A) Rashford - Grealish - Kiko

    B) Ings - Maddison - Sidebe

  5. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Triple United forward attack?

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

          Maybe at some point this season 😯

    5. Amey

      Amazing

    6. Cruz88
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Interested what made you go for Martial?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Wondering the same too. Maybe thought Rashford was too obvious.

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Perhaps he could write an article about it...

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

    Bruce saving his old mate Ole's job...

  7. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Do I keep pogba?

    1. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Of course. He wasnt guaranteed to start this one, but will surely start the next.

  8. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Is Reiss Belson in Arteta's longterm plans or just a Christmas filler?

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

      Nelson!

    2. Better Call Raul
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He was useless today

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

        No. Assist. Was good the bit I watched. Mind you he even got a tune out of Ozil i the first half.

  9. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    RMWCT

    Ryan (Button)
    Soyuncu Aurier Kelly (Rico) (Simpson)
    KdB Pogba Maddison Salah Grealish
    Kane Vardy (Greenwood)

  10. Ron_Swanson
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What do you guys reckon to Alli and Abraham to Salah and Ings (-4)

    Have the exact cash.

    Thanks

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

      No.

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

      I also have Mané already

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

      I would just do Abraham to Ings tbh.

  11. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Damn it, Vardy starts

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Unlucky Iheaneacho owners 🙁

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        And Greenwood benchers

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Haha I'm one of them 🙁
          Why did Vardy have to start in such a dead rubber, today was a perfect oppurtunity to rest him 🙁

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

      Meaning he is rested for the West Ham match?

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      That's a surprise.

  12. Hughes the Daddy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Looking for a bit of help. Is it possible in members area to compile a table showing each teams home/away performance in terms of win/lose/draw for the current season, and the ability to filter it by top 6 etc if possible. Been having a play about but can't find how to do it. Not technically gifted! Cheers for any help.

    1. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      * as in top 6 opponent vs the rest etc

  13. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford not injured I hope

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No no, just saved for next game. Same like Martial. Makes sense

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

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

    Richarlison has Newcastle next, maybe I'll just hold.

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

      Haven't lost at home since GW1.

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

        Due.

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

          Hopefully. Was contemplating TAA and Zaha for him and Digne but to be honest wanna see a bit more before getting them this time.

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

    (F)oster next week? 22 pointer probably

  16. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Tammy owners and captainers like me wyd? That is after crying in the corner

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Get Greenwood and bump your 5th mid to Martial I guess.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I'm switching to Maupay

  17. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Mane to hopefully outscore Salah before I switch the 2 on my wildcard.
    Although I feel that Salah gets a break before Mane as he's played more minutes recently.
    Rotation fear will be the death of me.

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Would you swap then?

      1. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Think I'm still swapping. I only lose .1 on Mane.
        Salah is way more explosive and involved.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Can't really say Salah is more explosive, Mane has more double-digit hauls this season, but yeah Salah been on fire recently..

          1. Mo Salah No Mane
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Sorry
            I mean recently

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I might actually end up getting both on WC haha.
      Do you think the Minamino signing might make things harder too?

      1. Mo Salah No Mane
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Naaaa not both
        There are enough cheaper options. It throws out the balance of your team completely.
        Minamino affects Firmino more as I feel Mane and Salah is untouchabale. He also only becomes more of a factor once ucl starts. He'll also starts where Klopp is allowed to be super attacking in one the holding 3 mid positions I think. He should be more back up.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Haha good point!

          How about this?
          Ramsdale(Button)
          TAA Lundstram Soy Rico(Kelly)
          Mane Salah KDB Alli (Cantwell)
          Vardy Ings(Greenwood)

          1. Mo Salah No Mane
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            This is what I mean
            Don't like the overall balance to be honest.
            If Mane and Salah don't fire you're screwed.
            Don't like the front 3.
            Don't like Ramsdale especially as your only keeper.
            Defence is fine
            Depends how you play and what formation you plan on playing.
            I prefer a stronger bench so that I can change things up and not have to take any hits.
            6 out of 10 probably

  18. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford losing the bonus?

    1. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Still on for 1

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yea but after deductions for losing dribblings

  19. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Am I missing anyone massively important on a w/c?

    Ramsdale - Button

    TAA - Kelly - Rico - Lundstram - Soyuncu

    Mane - Salah - KDB - Alli - Dendoncker

    Vardy - Jimenez - Greenwood

    1. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not keen on having Dendocker/Greenwood personally. I'd pick 352 or 343 and upgrade one of them.

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I can possibly afford Cantwell over Dendoncker but he didn't look close to getting anything today. Only other cheap striker option is Connolly, or downgrade Alli and bring in Ings

    2. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I know there's no Maddison, Rashford or Kane but I'd only be a max of two moves away if they suddenly become must-haves

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      That is a good combo. Just not sure about double pool. I am actually looking at double City

    4. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Could Jimi, Greenwood, soy become Ings Maupay, cheapo

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Does Ings outscore Jimi over the next four/five weeks though? I'll do some price testing, thanks for suggestion

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

    Is Ramsdale really an option? It is Bournemouth still...

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

      Not a serious one.

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I want to know the same thing. Want to change Pope but not sure for who

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

      you have Rico, Foster for 5 weeks will cover Hendersons reds perfectly. And he is in great form

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

        Ta

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He is for me, then again I do have Gazzaniga

    5. Wensink
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Moved him in this week for Pope probably a GW too early, but didn't want tp squander a banked FT.

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

        I must admit he’s doing surprisingly well in points. But they come in clusters. Not evenly. Few cleanies.

  21. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    really could have done with those Pope points earlier!

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

      Had a few BAPs too.

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

        yep think we would have gotten 9

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

      And I was sure Pukki would score. Hence played Pope over Heaton.

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

    Has Abraham got to go? Tempted to keep for Arsenal. That could actually be a good game for them.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not selling yet

  23. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Sell one for Digne

    A) Rico
    B) Kelly
    C) Aurier
    D) TAA

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kelly as ward is due back in January

      1. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, own Guaita too but the double has worked fine.

    3. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Aurier

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

      Aurier.

    5. Ritchies Magic Hat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      A or B... probably Kelly

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

      sidibe is the one as he played OOP today as RW

      1. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        But he could be rotated at rw and coleman could be rb, we don't know yet.

  24. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do Tomori to Aurier or other moves and hits?

    Henderson
    Lund/Tomori/Targett
    Mane/KDB/Dele/Grealish
    Vardy/Rashford/Tammy

    Button/Maddison/Soy/Rico

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

      Or maybe Digne?

      1. Ritchies Magic Hat
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Tomori to Digne or Sidibe looks good to me

      2. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I'm getting Digne back

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

    4-1 FT

  26. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Can do Cantwell, Mousset to Martial, Rashford :/

  27. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Take that Longstaff

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

    Lovely Pog 1.

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

      May bring him in for GW20. Nice little run out today ahead of a start vs Burnley.

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

        I need 6 United spots!

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Make 2 accounts

  29. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy Rash (Greenwood) the WC forwards or should Ings be involved iyo?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I've had him since GW1 but Cantwell's time could be up - harsh?

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think Jimi is still getting underrated on here. On course for another 180+ point season

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I've had him for ages, but can't have everyone

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

    Honestly wasn't expecting a win. Really happy with that result 🙂
