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.

      Other way around, just put the ball in the net Tony and everyone would be happy

    Rash, literally!

    If Utd get another goal before HT then you got to hope it is one of your players because lots of them could get hauled off before 60 mins if Utd are crusing.

    Rashford misses sitter. Sheffield look like relegation candidates

      1. Brosstan

        6 years, 1 month ago

        Im not saying they will be relegated. But if they finish the season like this they will be next season.

    2. Niho992

      They will be in championship in 2 year again. One season wonder team

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      Have been saying for a few weeks they won’t get European football, honeymoon period over

    4. diesel001

      Sheff Utd the team that is outperforming their xGC by the most in the PL. They are a good defence, but they are not so good as to be performing at the level they are forever.

    Seriously considering Son to Martial.

    Didn’t like Son’s positioning last night

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

      Only switched Martial to Son before deadline for "coverage"

      2. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

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

        Just to have avoided triple ManU attack and no Spurs. All good though

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Shu def is shocking

  12. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

    Too early to say "lol at Bruno (C)"?

    First time Tony owner 😀

    1. Champions League Varane

      Your welcome

  14. Champions League Varane

    Tony Martial will get a hatrick this game

  15. The 12th Man

    Davies air shot

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

    Not sure why I went for Fernandes - it's pretty boring to have to wait for set pieces. Martial and Rashford look much better options.

  17. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That was a heck of a miss by Rashford. Sheff Utd look like they’re done for this season.

    This is intense having 4 games shown live and watching on different devices. 🙂

      I've got three on the go and had the Newcastle game on my phone. The Amazon one was better, until the three simultaneous device limit kicked in after two minutes of watching!

    God that was so bad

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

      The replay really makes it worse, open goal that was....

  20. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Let's not lose faith in SU...they kept a cleanie at Villa, more than Chelsea managed

  21. BrockLanders

    Bruno sitting deep

  22. OverTinker

    Come on Bruno(C)

  23. GENERATION X

    If that had been a Bruno assist on that miss...

  24. Party time

    Martial give us more points my darling

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Just hit this Bruno.

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

    Very well played by Tony. He knows hes going to miss that big chance and get -bps so instead he creates a big chance to get +bps

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

    Does anyone know if Rashford had a shot on target with that chance? Have a bet on him but can't watch the game...

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

      If it was on target it would have gone in. As the goal was open.

    2. THE Wild Rover
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wide

  28. Sancidino
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    As a Sporting fan, trust me, Bruno will deliver!

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

    Have a shot, Bruno. Catch this newbie GK out.

  30. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    As if i picked Vardy over Rashford. I don't deserve to be in top 10k.

    Idiot =(

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t worry you won’t be 😉

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

        Ha 1 week in. Then never again at this rate!
