Spurs and Man United players prepare for Wildcard auditions

Some big names are preparing to audition for a place in many a Fantasy Premier League Wildcard squad at Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium tonight.

With plenty of managers opting to overhaul their squad for Gameweek 31+, Spurs and Manchester United assets are high on the watchlists.

Bruno Fernandes (£8.6m) naturally retains his number 10 role for the Red Devils and, for the first time since his January arrival, gets to line-up alongside Marcus Rashford (£8.8m).

The England international turned political campaigner has been injured since Gameweek 23, able to make a surprise return to playing as a result of the Premier League season being delayed.

It looks as if Rashford will play on Fernandes’ left while Daniel James (£5.8m) has been entrusted with the right attacking midfield slot.

Anthony Martial (£8.0m) leads the line for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men with Fred (£5.3m) and Scott McTominay (£4.9m) anchoring midfield.

Some managers may have half an eye on Paul Pogba (£8.3m) who has been named on the bench but, with five substitutes available, could see some minutes in the second half.

Meanwhile, there will be plenty of eyes on Harry Kane (£10.8m) and Son Heung-min (£9.7m) who, like Rashford, are able to play because of the season’s protracted conclusion.

As promised by Jose Mourinho, they have been named among Spurs’ attacking quartet for the Friday-night encounter; Kane leading the line and Son operating on the left of Erik Lamela (£5.7m) and Steven Bergwijn (£7.4m).

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Davies, Dier, D Sanchez, Aurier; Winks, Sissoko; Son, Lamela, Bergwijn; Kane.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, B Fernandes, D James; Martial.

    Into the top 1000. Bruno is a king. Such a good player.

      Fantastic! What does your WC team look like?

        I’m keeping it.

    Is Rashford a good pick now? Among his 14 goals this season, 5 are from penalty. I suppose no more penalty for me with Bruno being here

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      He was stepping up for the second pen

      But yes, not sure what to think. He looked threatening first half

    2. Hazz

      He had the ball for the second one. Although if Bruno keeps scoring, can't see Rashford taking the majority.

      I may forgo Rashford next week. Blades won't be the easiest to break down (although, if they let as many shots through as vs. Villa...)

      No Henderson so Bruno'll favor a pot-shot or two, surely.

    Rashford slipping out of peoples wildcards?

    how is this for a WC team?

    Pope
    TAA/Maguire/Saiss
    Salah/KDB/Son/Bruno
    Vardy/Jota/DCL

    Martin/Lascelles/Taylor/Cantwell

    Cheers! And have a great weekend

    Bruno robbed by VAR, should have been a 15 pointer

    1. n-doggg

      For some reason it looked like Rashford was going to take it. Solskjaer needs to get a grip

      Rashford would have taken it, I'm happy with the 10 which has got me up to my highest OR of the season 24k.

      If you say so

    Was a little worried at first, but very glad I stuck with Bruno in the Free Hit!

      Likewise except I wasn’t worried

      Same here on WC, I wouldn't have stuck with him if I didn't have TV tied up there.

    Only dropped from 20 to 22k after that Bruno goal. Thought it would be a lot more. 15 players still to go with a bit of luck...well 4 or 5 will be rested no doubt lol

  13. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years

    Kane never scores in June anyway

  14. Soto Ayam
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    On WC, which would you rather?

    a) Worth keeping Kane for west ham, and then switch to rashford after?

    Or

    B) put rashford in now to face sheff utd?

    Already have aurier, son, Martial and Bruno

    Thinking he should at least get the West ham game, as I hope spurs will be more attacking against them.

    Thanks
