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.

    Lads should I WC in 32+ or wait until 33+?

    I know the cup games are after the 32+ deadline which adds risk. But returning to the team I BB'd after using FH this week makes me want to weep. Also I'll probably be priced out of a good team if I wait for 33+

    Henderson
    TAA Boly Soyuncu
    KDB Mahrez Grealish Saka
    Aguero* Aubameyang Jimenez
    (Leno* Egan* Lundstram Cantwell)

    Anyone know if Lamptey will play regularly now for Brighton? I have a bench boost chip to use before the season ends...

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

      he looked good, would expect him to keep playing

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

        Thanks

    2. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He was the best player on the park by a country mile so I'd imagine so.

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

        Thanks, I hope he will.

  4. Boomerang V

    I have Jota and Jimenez and, by accident I put the armband on Jota instead of Jimenez 🙁

    I think I need new glasses.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I hope that works out for you!

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      hope they both score

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

      Sounds like the kind of mistake that might get rewarded 🙂

    4. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks. I feel really bad about myself.

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

      Could work out nicely!
      Jimi is kind of pointless as nearly everyone has him

  5. El Presidente
    • 6 Years

    If Salah is benched there's gonna be mass suicide around here...

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That's incredibly funny

    2. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If Jimi scores a hat trick and Jota blanks I'll be the first one.

    3. People in Preston

      FFS Jonestown. We'll all be gone and the casuals will take about it for years. On a cookery forum.

    4. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would be OK with him not playing at all. I'd get 8 points of the bench from Soy boy.

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

      Unlikely to be benched but I'm not Klopp

  6. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Completely forgot about Henderson not playing for Sheffield Utd when deciding on my captain choice. Just know those Utd assets are going to haul now.

    Best replacement for Firmino? Money's no object.

    1. Yank Revolution

      I hear Jesus wouldn't mind some new followers.

        Good joke

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

      Knowing your other forwards would help

      1. Feanor
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Good point. Jimenez and DCL.

    3. 420king

      Mr. Henry?

    FPL was looking rosy after the games on Saturday. Since then it's been an absolute train wreck. 9 players including captain get me a grand total of 9pts to finish the last gameweek. Now captain Vardy blanks and Cantwell benched.

  12. SackWenger

    How long do we have to put up with this kneeling malarkey

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Shouldn't you be in a plane right now?

      1. Ógie

        😆

    2. Grumbledook

      At a guess, until we have racial equality.

    3. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…

      As long as it takes to stop people like you making comments like this

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Too bad, sucka.

    5. Napoleon IV

      There was a time when racists were people who showed prejudice towards others on account of their race.

      Now you are regarded as a racist if you don’t support the virtue signalling or slogans of a bunch of self-appointed woke-lords.

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

      For as long as the powers that be want the public distracted by race issues instead of the more important class issues. Notice how media driven racial tensions have increased massively since the Occupy Wall Street movement that surprised the elites.

      You should be wary when every single corporation supports your "radical movement" 100%

    Looking at the ownership stats, Richarlison is a nice differential for anyone who has him this GW
    Magnus Carlsen has Rich and DCL which bodes well!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have him. Hope he delivers.

  14. Brosstan

    Lunny will be fired up to cement his first team spot today, Berge didnt last long

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Berge has been below average every time he has played for Sheff Utd.

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to Pukki?

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Party has finished

      1. EmreCan Hustle

        🙁

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He couldn't breathe in for 2 matches in a row.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So just rested?
