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.

    Early thoughts about going without Auba on gw32?

    1. The_Fish
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Arsenal are a shambles. But wait until the Brighton game.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Just dosses around our wide, moaning and wanting out from what I seen. Surprised he’s captain

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Haven't had an Arsenal player all season, doubt it will change for gw32

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      He'll score at some point, but it's not that appealing.

      Nketiah for a third of the price could be better anyway.

    5. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm holding onto Auba till 32

    6. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Probably get Eddie to unleash on Norwich

    7. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Head's gone, I reckon. But it was Man City, let's see how he does vs Brighton.

    8. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm holding. Hoping for a bounce back after the Citeh showing.

  2. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    One step closer to finalising my WC after that game. How’s it look?

    McCarthy
    TAA • Doherty • Lascelles
    Salah • Son • KDB • Bruno
    Jimenez • Rashford • DCL
    (3.9, Williams, Cathcart, Guendouzi)

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Nice. It's cool seeing these WC teams the same as my post FH team.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        You need some Son though 😉

        1. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I do. Mount and Barnes can make a Son

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Bench can do with some investment

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Cathcart and Lascelles rotate great. Could change Williams to Robinson? What else would you change? Thanks

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I'm not sure about Williams chances. But nobody in that bracket is available sadly.

          Note that Jimenez might miss one game out as he's a would be father. You need a good bench (2 players at least. 3rd can be current 4.2 midfielder)

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            0.1 more would get me a Holegate or similar. Perhaps I need to do Salah >> Mane?

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          O'Connell has a chance of playing the second GW30+ game. Robinson's time is expected to be up soon

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks mate. Any ideas around that mark?

    3. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      williams to robinson

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah. Just done that. Didn’t realise he missed out tonight

    4. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      otherwise. stunning. but have ye played your bb yet?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I have mate

    5. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      You copied mine!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Huh? Last one I see on your profile is a 4-4-2 with 4head! Most people have the main picks I have above. Where is your team the same as this one?

  3. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Dier CB doesn't make me happy.

    1. The_Fish
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I Bruno, makes me happy.

      1. The_Fish
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Have*

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Jose said he chose Dier and Sanchez for their pace.

      Makes sense tbf. United pose little aerial threat, all about the pace.

      1. Bennerman
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Surely Dier is ponderous

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Dier moves like panzer tank, can’t believe he’s left jan and Toby out, hoping to be proved wrong

          1. GENERATION X
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Unless he is heading into the crowd then he is like a rocket

          2. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Shocking decision, Dier is pony!

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Is Dier quick?

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Milk turns quicker

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not Rashford quick, but quicker than Jan/Toby apparently, who are in their 30s. Jose knows his team's qualities better than us.

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Dier has no pace. I think he’s testing him as to whether he should stay at Spurs.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Diet is worse than Luiz, neither should be playing in the premiership!

    4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      How come he’s not banned for jumping into the crowd vs Norwich in the FA Cup?

  4. Amey
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Son & Bruno ...
    Make me proud !!
    (Bruno has to do more obviously for United to seal Win 😛 )

  5. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    LMS safety score currently 59

    1. HavertzHero
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Can you still enter this mate?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        No, would have needed to pass the other 29 safety scores for a start.

        1. HavertzHero
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          No worries Cheers

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

    Got burnt by double United on the early WC and now I want 4 of their players 😆

    Hopefully some form of clarity comes tonight.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wait until Munday's differential article, you'll be all over Matic after that

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        It has to be Fred !

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Isn't it same like last season. I waited to get on the train. Not anymore !!

  7. bigdip

    5 years, 9 months ago

    DDG Adrian
    TAA Saiss Lundy Taylor Lascelles
    KDB Son Mane(c) ___ Barnes

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Same
      I went for Grealish instead ... 🙁

  9. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    I'm keeping an eye on Martial in this game. He's one of the players I'd love to have but can't quite find a place for.

  10. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    1. Party time
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Good day as a non saint fan with saint assets. Your team really impressed me 😉

      • Warby84
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Really good, nice to watch (2nd half)

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      A Billion pound empty stadium just doesn't feel right

    3. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Nice of Danny Ings to return to my team next week on a bit of form against zero defenders...

      Might be worth an armband.

    4. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Is cresswell a first choice pick, got 4.5 to spend and seems like a bargain if he’s playing

      Defence is Taa Maguire Saiss Lascelles

    5. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Son the best asian player ever to play in PL?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Young Lee Sharpe

      2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Him or Ji Sung Park, both great players

      3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Park for me

        He actually won something

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          One of the most under rated players

          Big game player

          1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I agree, criminally underrated (Arsenal fan)

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          If son played for fergie he would have wom something too thays like saying saha was better than kane

    6. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Really hoping Spurs can somehow bury United here.

    7. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      who' s on pens Bruno or Rash ?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Well find out aurier is playing remember

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Expect Bruno.

        Unless there’s a won it clause for Rashford.

    8. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lamela should take up hairdressing, he obviously did it himself right? Aurier though is on another level, wasted as footballers

    9. Hitmonlee
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Norwich look shocking.. think I might get Holgate in for a bench boost next week..

      That would leave me with
      McCarthy vs Arsenal
      Fernandez vs Villa
      Holgate vs Norwich
      Ayew vs Pool

      What do you reckon?

    10. CFC1990
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      What do you think of my FH draft?

      DDG, 3.9m
      TAA, Doherty, Maguire, VVD, 3.9m
      Mane, Barnes, Fernandes, 4.4, 4.2m
      Kane, Vardy, Jimenez

      0.4itb

      The 4.4m is Douglas Luiz. Just fancied someone who will actually play as first sub.

      I have gone 4-4-2 as it allows me a good balanced team.

      I like using the FH this week, Can keep my original BB team next week then WC in GW33.

    11. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      There’s no way Aurier hasn’t paid for that haircut. Ban incoming

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Look up

    12. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Martial playing forward?

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. Main striker

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Is he nailed? Can get him over rash

    13. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Not seen much chat about Vardy for GW31?

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He’s in my draft currently with a view to transferring him out next game for Tammy maybe

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Will be similar to Ings pre-today. Lets see how him and Leicester look first.

    14. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Been eyeing up AWB and Maguire. Totally forgot Lindelof still played in that backline!

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        😀

        Maguire still very appealing regardless, especially with the size of the head and Bruno’s delivery.

    15. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Tot missing allis wisdom

    16. james 101
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      So, in order of preference, who are the best Man U FPL assets over the next few weeks?

      Feel free to stop at 3 or 4!

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bruno clear for me.

        Rashford
        Maguire
        Pogba
        Martial
        AWB

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I’m with you on Bruno being the clear favourite.

          I’m currently on him and rash.

          I guess I’d consider it as

          Bruno

          Rash / Martial
          DDG
          Others

          1. james 101
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I’m currently holding off Man U defence and going with TAA and double wolves with Fernandez as back up

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Can’t argue with that.

      2. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bruno, Rashford and AWB

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Thoughts on martial?

    17. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Harry Kane 1% ownership for this game!

    18. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      This is turgid stuff. Watching paint dry.

    19. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Pogba in the same bracket as Ozil. Couple of high wage wastemans
