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.

    When will we know more about the blanks in GW31 and doubles? I’m other words I am trying to navigate the GW28 blank without playing my WC but keen to maybe play it in 29. Will we know all info then?

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

      Before GW29 deadline.

  4. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Mctom and Pogba will do nothing for this team, just more midfielders to muck up the works

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

    Tony to Traore could be easy then

  6. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Lol bruno waste of money

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

      Yep Haaland would have scored 3 goals by now...

    2. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle early to be 10000000% certain?

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

        No, I have seen enuff

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

  7. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years

    1. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years

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

      Unbelievable that he was in the Scout picks. Palace def stopped doing cs A ling time ago, still Livin on the hype from earlier season

      1. BrutalLogiC
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yes that was a big surprise, very odd pick

  8. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Beckham would have scored from that.

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      *there

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

      Rooney too!

  9. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    WC activated. What a relief to rid of Maddison, Tomori, Soy, Wilson, Kelly, Lundstram etc

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

      Woah. That is a WC

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yup. KdB, Ings, Stevens,Lascelles and more others welcome !!

    2. FPLGeezer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      What's your plans for your remaining chips?

      And plans on wildcard 3 wolves, 3 Liverpool possibly?

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        3 Liverpool. 2 from Wolves.

        Plan depends on Liverpool in fa cup. If they lose vs Shrewsbury/Chelsea then i will prepare my team with transfers for BGW 31.

        If they win these games then i will use FH.

        Probably BB in GW 37

        1. FPLGeezer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I'm thinking along the same lines. Think that's probably best way to plan ahead if wildcarding before gw26.

          Think Pope in goal too a must for gw31.

          How many players you thinking blanking in gw28?

          1. Niho992
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            I will have KdB, Stevens and Fleck.

            I can sell KdB and bench those 2

            1. FPLGeezer
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Think I'm going to try for Aguero and then possibly sell him by gw 28. Fleck and Stevens good shouts. Grealish will go

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

    Traore lots of praise, but will he give us any attacking returns?

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

      Tends to do well vs the big teams do not today.

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

        *so 😉

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

      Close, just now

  11. YuvalFPL
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    has lundstram definitely lost his place for the foreseeable future?

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

      At best can’t be trusted.

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

      Yep looks to be behind Berge and Besic now but they will prob rotate between the 3 of them...

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

      Probably

    4. YuvalFPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      lundstram to stevens it is.

    5. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      think he was play next one

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

    Bruno Fernandes looks very much like Herrera for united. Remember everyone saying Herrera was going to be the next big Spanish midfielder...

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

      I don't remember a single person saying that

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

      They are two completely different types of players also

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

      Fernandes was the highest scoring mid in Portugal. Big difference.

  13. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    1. how now brown cow

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    Scotland are trying to lose in the rugby

    1. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      They've been very successful with this strategy

  16. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    If Traore has brain he would be best player in the world

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

      Steady

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years

  17. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Maddison + Maupay --> Traore + Jimenez for - 4pts

  18. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    Bruno just shoots due to frustrations

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

    Wow everyone bashing Fernandes already it’s hilarious.

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

    Is Traore Wile e coyote in steroids?

  21. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    Simon Stone

    BBC Sport at Old Trafford

    This is the sixth meeting between these two sides in less than a year.

    In the previous five, there have been three wins by a single goal margin and two draws.

    Nothing has happened so far to suggest this won't be equally as tight.

    Oh now you tell me...

  22. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Fed up my strikers Worthing doing the following moves for minus 8.

    Vardy Abraham Greenwood > Aguero martinelli Ings.

    1. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      worth*

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely not.

    3. Big Al Stankovic
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Abraham to Ings would be enough.

  23. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Traore almost

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

    Another special night at Old Trafford with Ole at the wheel!

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Gets away with it because people focusing on Woodward & glazers.

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

        Worst manager record for United in PL history! And with money wasted on Maguire and awb

        1. tisza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Football no better than Mourinho's.
          Incapable of playing against sides that don't give space behind.
          But good old OGS doesn't rock the boat so job safe

      2. Goro Majima
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        As they should be.

    2. Big Al Stankovic
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Haven’t been special since SAF was on the sideline.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Poor from traore that

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

      That was good for him tbf.

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

    If Traore gave that to Doherty he could have squared it to a free Jiminez

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

      good thing he didn't then - only want Traore points

  27. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Traore sitter..

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

    Can't wait to sell Martial at FT

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Same

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I kept on WC, Bruno factor and loves G at the Bridge.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Do it now then. Dare you.

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

      FT is available now

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

    Any defenders other than TAA worth owning?

    Have Williams, Kelly, Rico, Lund.

    Likely Kelly out first with 1ft, can afford and defender with cash itb..

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

      Double Liverpool I guess is a possibility..

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

      Gomez for cheap Liverpool CS.

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

    Sold Lundstram, the last of my big profit player ... now only 1.5m between my TV and SV (107.8 / 106.3) .. .WC still intact

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

      monster SV... what's your rank?

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

        not great - hopefully up to 600k this week

    2. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Great but prefer the points over TV

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

        TV is irrelevant ... was 109 tv / 105 sv a few weeks ago .... SV allows better players which should mean better points

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

      105.8 / 103.3.

      You're rich.
