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.

FPL Lessons Learned from Gameweek 31+

  1. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years

    Come on

  2. Kellz86
    • 8 Years

    Rashford wastes Martial assist... lord

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

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

  3. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Rash, literally!

  4. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    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.

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Martial +BPS
    Rash howler

  6. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Just don't pass it to Marcus again Tony.

  7. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    FFSSS SHOULD PASS TO BRUNOOO

  8. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford misses sitter. Sheffield look like relegation candidates

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Put the bong down lad

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

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

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      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.

  9. My heart goes Salalalalah

    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Seriously considering Son to Martial.

    Didn’t like Son’s positioning last night

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Only switched Martial to Son before deadline for "coverage"

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

      2. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Just think that Martial will offer more for less

    3. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Keep few more

    4. HNI
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Have both not expensive and have something to fight for

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

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

  11. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Shu def is shocking

  12. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      No congrats on your haul man

  13. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    First time Tony owner 😀

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Your welcome

  14. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Tony Martial will get a hatrick this game

  15. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Davies air shot

  16. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months 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
    5 years, 10 months 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. 🙂

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      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!

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    God that was so bad

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

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

  20. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

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

  21. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno sitting deep

  22. OverTinker
    • 7 Years

    Come on Bruno(C)

  23. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

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

  24. Party time
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Martial give us more points my darling

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Just hit this Bruno.

    • Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months 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

    • Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months 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
        5 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Wide

    • Sancidino
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

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

    • diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

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

    • TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

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

      Idiot =(

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Don’t worry you won’t be 😉

        1. TomSaints
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

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