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.

    Relieved David Luiz only cost Arsenal only 8m, could of spent £80m on Harry Maguire!

    Love the way people are judging players and teams after 45 mins of post lockdown, no crowd football..... FACEPALM

      It's been a long 12 weeks of not criticising... At least give us the first weekend.

      I don't think we have learnt anything new

      Usually comments are reactionary but we've seen in the first half is what we've seen for ages

      - Kane not what he used to be
      - DDG making basic errors then great saves
      - Maguire lack of pace

      I'm not sure any comment has been out of line?

      Yea shame on them for expecting multi millionaires to keep in shape physically and technically.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Shaw was overweight before the break and has gained additional weight ffs

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          you cannot play PL football if you are what you say "overweight"

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

      Yeah can everyone just keep silent please. Honestly...

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

      Well what else should we judge on?

  3. Hairy Potter

    Can Man Utd produce a decent 10 min spell that glosses over the fact that they are pretty poor overall?

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think Ole’s team talk is pretty clear at half time:

      ‘Give it to Fernandes’

  4. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Man Utd have easier games after this so don't be too worried.

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Sheffield united?

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

      Utd have such a better record in easier game right

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

    That was just atrocious defending

  6. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Half time WC conundrum

    Grealish, Sarr or Harvey Barnes?

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

      Tomorrow shd give a better idea but one of the latter 2.

      Sarr morenlikely to temain on the pitch for longer and looks more threatening even in tough games

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

      Sarr or Barnes. Grealish fixtures are garb and they looked like they want to get relegated

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Sarr.

      Watch out for Barnes early team news knee jerk though...

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

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

        Yea they should cash in on DDG for next season - no point both being at the club.

  29. John Colby (C)

    Keane on top top form again as a pundit and once again the man is right!!

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

      What did he have to say? I'm watching the Barca game.

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

        Said he would make McGuire get a taxi back to Manchester lol, de gea the most overrated goalie he's seen.

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

          Lol, priceless.

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Epic 3 minute rant about Shaw, DDG & Maguire, getting progressively angrier as he revisited each player

        He still genuinely cares, you can tell it hurts him to see utd like this

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

          De Gea a long way from the keeper he was. I never rated Maguire that much.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Correct
