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.

  2. fc_skrald
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Any guesses, who will start as the goalkeeper for Aston Villa. I Would like to keep him until after the Newcastle game but I might have to use wildcard to clean up now...

    1. fc_skrald
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      him = Nyland

    2. SweepaKeepa
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Probably Nyland.

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

    Another turd of a game. Just cancel the season.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Do you think the game would've been any different if there were fans? Absolutely not

  4. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    A). Pope / TAA / Saiss / Maguire
    B) McCarthy / TAA / Doherty / Lascelles

  5. Fpl_Juggernaut

  6. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Gary Nevilles voice is grating

  7. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    The watchalong is far better than the other channels.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Whats watchalong?

      1. Brosstan

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

  8. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Would that have been a bruno assist?

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      No

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      Doubt it

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Loads on here would have been calling for FPL to give it as an assist

  9. screamer73
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    WC team if I pull the trigger now. Also, Leno will become Pope soon.

    Leno, Button
    Doherty, Maguire, Alonso, Lascelles, Holgate
    Son, Bruno, KDB, Mane, Sarr
    Rashford, Jimenez, DCL

    0.0ITB. Yay or Nay?

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I know it’s unoriginal but seriously TAA should surely warrant inclusion?

      1. screamer73
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Never had him. Still doing reasonably well - just outside 4K .Not gonna bother getting him for 7.8m now.

  12. funnyoldgame

    6 years, 6 days ago

    Ok, so like a noob, I must have forgot to save changes when selecting my bench boost this week. So now when would be the best week to use it? I still have WC (using this week), TC and FH.

    BB suggestion welcome

  13. DAZZ

    Auba owners keeping? Obviously has Brighton next but im tempted to cash in and go with Jiminez.

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      I’d cash in

    2. funnyoldgame
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      waiting to see how he looks next game.

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      The very first player I ditched

      I'm not paying 11m for a left wing back

    4. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      No way

    5. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Dgw only for me.

  14. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    60 points behind my ML rival, who has a template team.

    Hit me with differentials, I’m thinking

    Richarlison, Jota, Mane, Kane, Martial, Auba

    1. funnyoldgame

  15. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    Desinfecting the corner flags? A bit overkill?

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Disinfecting anything is an overkill. We'd be long dead...

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        Ironic if we suddenly discovered a huge comet heading our way

        Scarier even than being American and having trump in office...

  16. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    If these first few games is an indication of what the quality of the football will be like with no fans in the stadium.... deary me.

    Hopefully it’s just the fact they’ve had a long break

  17. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 days ago

    How much for Bruno next season? 10.5? More, less?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 days ago

      Such an easy name to spell correctly yet so many fail...

      1. Gerd Mueller’s thighs

        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 days ago

        I went back and forth on the spelling....
