Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has thrown Bruno Fernandes (£8.0m) straight into the Manchester United team for Gameweek 25.

The former Sporting midfielder signed for the club earlier this week and looks to be operating in the number 10 role this evening.

Fernandes will support Anthony Martial (£7.9m) from attacking midfield, where he will be flanked by Daniel James (£5.9m) and Juan Mata (£6.2m).

Meanwhile, there was less positive news for those invested in budget left-back Brandon Williams (£4.1m) drops to the bench, with Luke Shaw (£5.4m) handed the nod.

Meanwhile, Wolves are boosted by the return of Willy Boly (£4.7m) at centre-back.

He has been out injured since Gameweek 9 after suffering an ankle fracture, although was named as an unused substitute last time out.

Nuno Espirito Santo has elected not to drop his new signing in at the deep end, Daniel Podence (£5.5m) named on the bench.

That means Wolves front-three still features Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Adama Traoré (£5.8m) either side of Raùl Jiménez (£7.6m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, A Pereira; James, B Fernandes, Mata; Martial.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez, Traoré.

    For those who brought in the Lord at 4.0M, are you selling or keeping? Even though he's seemed to have lost his place, a defender who plays midfield who will still get minutes isn't bad right...

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sell.
      Should have done it already

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Gone in the next few weeks.

    3. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Cashing in. 20min cameos are no good, esp as Shu are still keeping clean sheets

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Selling before he drops to 4.9m.

    5. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sell, but have other more major concerns to plan for GW 28 (KDB, Grealish..)... don't want to waste a transfer on a defender yet

        in the same boat

    6. Taffer
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      sold on WC

    7. Tauruspt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Same question as have him at 4.5 so I guess no rush

    Jimmy & Tony braces

    TA 🙂

      Would love that for Tony. Having sold Jimmy last week I'd be against the latter - though I may soon be getting him again

      1. Am sorry to say again it�…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        You sold Jimenez? You ok?

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Sold him just before the LIV game, for DCL.

          However it was to fund Salah in for Maddison. So yes, over the last 2 weeks, I'm ok

  3. Peter Ouch
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Oh shi@t.

  4. Ady87
    • 12 Years

    Martial 13.5% ownership. A brace would be very welcome.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Very, very much so.

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years

    3. g40steve

      Yes please.

    4. Bobby Digital

    Anybody have fpl general fpl team link please?

  6. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Best first game for Fernandes - basically playing the entire old Sporting team

  7. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Any idea when the GW 28 game switches will be announced?

    Planning to add Jimenez today to avoid a price rise, but if the Man City and Villa games are moved to GW 26 (though seems with a small chance), then I might not do this move in the coming week...

    1. DrCongo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No chance they are moved to 26

  8. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Did Lundy make a difference when he came on?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, f##ked everybody’s bench up

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah

      Added 1 point onto everyones score

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe one to the autosub points.

  9. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So how many goals are we expecting from Fernandes tonight? (To the nearest 10.)

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Just 3 assists for Martial tonight and then a hattrick next week after I bring him in 🙂

  10. FPL Scoop

    Oh dang didn't even notice my badge changed to 3yrs. Time flies. Don't even remember when I first found this place.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Waiting for mine to change?

    2. Horlicks esq.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I’d guess it was about 3 years ago

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        good wan

    3. Brosstan

      I still dont understand how my says 5. Im very sure I didnt post here 4-5 years ago.

      1. how now brown cow

        Membership, not first post I guess

  11. No Professionals
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Pope
    VVD Soyuncu Rico
    Salah KDB Grealish Traore
    Aguero Vardy Ings

    Button Cantwell Lundstram Kelly
    1ft 1.1itb

    Feels like wildcard territory?

    Want to do vardy to aubameyang. Should I just pull the wc trigger?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Careful with Vardy to Auba. You'd have Aguero, Auba, KDB, Grealish and Lund all blanking in GW28.

      1. No Professionals
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe just vardy to firmino? Or use the ft to sort out defence?

  12. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Fernandes in the hole, Pereira deep lying

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pereira lying with Fernandes deep in his hole?

  13. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Will be fun to see fatty run after that speedster hunk Adama.

    1. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw is actually pretty quick

      1. Skalla
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        So is Robertson and that didn't help

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Only when the dinner bell rings

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

        Downhill perhaps

  14. Skalla
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Adama 1 - 0 Shaw

  15. BNMC
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Just the MUN-WOL game starting dropped my OR by 20k places.

  16. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    46 points with Martial to go.Brave/stupid move to captain Wilson.Night all.

  17. RAMZES666
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone think it is kinda unfair that Vardy sellers get away scot-free?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Nah.

    2. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino says hi - 17 points up and Norwich away next week

      1. RAMZES666
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Feels bad man, i'm stuck with Salah/TAA/Robbo

  18. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Adama is going to tear a new one to shaw

  19. FPL Scoop

    Let's go Tony

  20. Moderately content penguin

    Good to see the Vardy non-sellers being punished - some even kept him on WC 🙂

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      How is that a statement deserving of a smile, grim evil penguin?

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I only smile when I’m not making jokes 🙂

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

      Some even captained him...

  21. Tauruspt
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I have Lord Lund at 4.5

    Stick or twist?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      & shout!

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sell

      Get yourself a nailed Sheff Utd defender

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sell. Bashan and Egan are identically priced.

      Or get a Southampton defender in if you don't have McCarthy (Stephens probably)

  22. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Can anybody give me fpl generals team link please?

  23. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Will Pool go 50unbeaten?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Start thinking about that after the City game.

      Irrelevant until then.

  24. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Willian’s seems nailed in Utd

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I believe he's still in Chelsea right now

      1. Skalla
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yes but joining Barca end of the season 🙂

  25. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Pity Haaland didn't come to English League, 7 goals in 133 min, would have livened up the captains debate.

  26. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Do these transfers sound ok for Wolves good run coming up?

    Lundy and Maddy --> Doherty and Traore

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

    2. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Doherty nice differential

  27. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Kelly, Lund, Williams. Need to sell 1 with my FT.

    Probably Kelly? No idea who to replace with.. Plenty of cash but no defenders really appeal.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Similar issue here.
      Might get VVD in.
      But also tempted by Baldock for Lund (despite blank GWs)

  28. BNMC
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Lund -> Stevens done.

    1. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Lund > Stephens done

  29. luk46
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Ryan
    Soy
    Lund
    Kiko
    Maupay
    Who needs to go first? Team for next gw looks really good, but could do like Lund > Egan or something for a hit. Top 22k for now is amazing anyway.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Soy

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Tricky - in a similar spot

      Waiting on cup replays. Not wholly sold yet but plan to navigate 31 and that puts a twist on the next set of transfers. All easy if Pool go out but trickier if they stay in.

      Natural one I suppose is Lund for another SU. But I’ve been keen on Wood for a while and may get him first

  30. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Allison gets more bonus for four saves than Firmino for three assists? Joke

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      It's a bonus, Firmino got more points.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Hardly the point

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      They can be a weird at times
