Manchester United line up with a wealth of attacking pace and talent for their Gameweek 31+ meeting with Sheffield United.

Paul Pogba (£8.3m) returns to the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 7 after impressing as a substitute against Spurs.

The Frenchman sits alongside Nemanja Matić (£4.8m) in midfield, supporting a powerful front-four.

Anthony Martial (£8.0m) retains his centre-forward berth, supported by an attacking midfield trio of Marcus Rashford (£8.9m), Bruno Fernandes (£8.7m) and Mason Greenwood (£4.3m).

Simon Moore (£4.3m) comes in for Dean Henderson (£5.3m) in the Sheffield United goal, with rotation taking place elsewhere in the Blades’ side.

Phil Jagielka (£4.1m) comes in for the suspended John Egan (£4.6m), with Jack Robinson (£4.0m) retaining his place in light of Jack O’Connell‘s (£4.6m) recent injury.

Meanwhile, David McGoldrick (£5.4m) and Lys Mousset (£4.5m) are handed rare starts up-front and John Lundstram (£4.9m) is back in midfield.

Wolves look equally dangerous ahead of their meeting with Bournemouth as they go with the 3-4-3 shape that helped them get the 2-0 win over West Ham.

That means a first start since the Premier League resumes for Adama Traoré (£5.7m), supported by Matt Doherty (£6.4m) in a wing-back role.

Diogo Jota (£6.4m) starts once more, supporting Raúl Jiménez (£8.2m) who garnered some captaincy attention for Gameweek 31+.

Owners of Everton assets will be encouraged by the Norwich line-up named by Daniel Farke.

In a big statement of intent, he has dropped Teemu Pukki (£6.5m), Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m) to the bench, opting for largely second-string attackers at Carrow Road.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.5m) and Richarlison (£8.3m) are the main Fantasy draws among Carlo Ancelotti’s men, both starting up-front together in the favoured 4-4-2 formation.

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has shuffled his attacking pack once more, desperate to make a breakthrough at Newcastle.

He has named the same back-four but lines up an attacking midfield trio of Trézéguet (£5.2m) and Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) either side of Jack Grealish (£6.4m) in support of Mbwana Samatta (£5.7m).

Despite the recent upturn in Fantasy interest, out-of-position midfielder Keinan Davis (£4.3m) finds himself on the bench.

Villa face a Newcastle side with the joint-most number of clean sheets in home matches this season, featuring the in-form Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) in attacking midfield with out-of-position FPL defender Matt Ritchie (£5.3m) on the other flank.

There are also starts for budget options Jamaal Lascelles (£4.3m) and Federico Fernandez (£4.6m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka; Matic, Pogba; Rashford, B Fernandes, Greenwood; Martial.

Sheffield United XI: Moore; Robinson, Jagielka, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; McGoldrick, Mousset.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Rose, Lascelles, Fernandez, Manquillo; Hayden, Shelvey; Saint-Maximin, Almirón, Ritchie; Joelinton.

Aston Villa XI: Nyland; Targett, Mings, Hause, Konsa; Luiz, McGinn; Trezeguet, Grealish, El Ghazi; Samatta.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey, McLean; O Hernandez, Duda, Rupp; Drmic.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Holgate, Keane, Coleman; Bernard, T Davies, Gomes, Iwobi; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Wolves XI: Patricio; Saiss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez, Traoré.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; A Smith, Aké, S Cook, Stacey; Stanislas, Lerma, L Cook, Billing, Brooks; C Wilson.

    Another good assist from Spider Wan.

    His attacking threat keeps getting better.

    1. Reg83

    Feeling like it's a world cup, games coming think and fast, evenings off and cold beers in the fridge.

    So many wrong choices on my WC :p
    Saiss over Doc, Rash over Martial, Maguire over Awb

  18. Milk, 1 Šuker

    Sir Tony...arise!

  19. Reg83

    6 years, 1 month ago

    What was I thinking selecting Bruno over martial? Herd mentality. Damn

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      chose Tony over son - but it was so tough at that time

  20. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    We've got an out-and-out striker listed as a mid, and yet people still thought Bruno was a better option?!

    I only have myself to blame of course, if I'd watched United prior to this there's no way I would've captained (or even bought) Bruno. Now have to wait for a lucky penalty.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Martial has been playing up front all season.

      Not exactly a revelation.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Fernandes not looking like doing anything sure is a revelation though, based on what I'd read about him before.

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        LOL
        Obviously don’t watch the games 🙂

  21. Under my Cucurella
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    AWB 2nd on my bench and went with Rashford/Bruno instead of Martial. Hate this game.

  22. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Well Done Tony now please Bruno

  23. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ugh.. Tony again from horrible marking

  24. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Martial only owned by 13% of the top 10k
    Vs. Bruno 79% despite being cheaper and more attacking

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno is the better option but not today

      1. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Based off what evidence? That's 13 goals now for Martial this season, Bruno is only in his 7th match for Utd. Not enough data points for that claim.

  25. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thats settled my 3rd United spot

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      AWB?

  26. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Assist from Obi Wan?! Even better!!

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Not captaining Martial looks like an horrendous call now.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You weren't gonna cap Martial, let's be real.

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Bruno still on the pitch ?

  29. dshv
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a chance for bruno to do something

    1. Fpl_Juggernaut
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno Mars?

  30. Chucky
    • 12 Years
