The final fixture of Gameweek 34+ sees Aston Villa take on Manchester United.

Kick-off at Villa Park is at 20:15 BST.

There is little in the way of seismic team news, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named an unchanged starting XI for the fourth league game in a row.

Mason Greenwood (£4.7m) gets another start down the right flank, then, with Bruno Fernandes (£8.9m), Paul Pogba (£8.3m), Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£8.3m) supporting the budget FPL forward in attack.

There is only one change for Aston Villa, meanwhile, as Mbwana Samatta (£5.3m) comes into Dean Smith’s line-up to replace Keinan Davis (£4.3m).

Rashford, Martial and Greenwood are all owned between 46% and 51% of the top 10k, with Fernandes sitting in more than nine in ten Fantasy squads among this elite bunch.

Just under 20% of the top 10,000 FPL managers have captained the Portuguese midfielder.

Fernandes has averaged 8.9 points per match since he joined the Red Devils in January.


Aston Villa XI: Reina, Konsa, Hause, Mings, Taylor, Grealish, Luiz, McGinn, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Samatta.

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

    Wow, where did those Pogba baps come from?

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Loads of chances created.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Chances created.

    3. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Because he was the best player on the pitch. Easily

  2. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Red arrow with 73 points - tough going this week

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Small 4K green arrow and I got 85 points.

  3. JURGENAUT
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Chasing 11 pts
    Rashford & Nketiah -> Greenwood & Vardy? -4 hit
    Rival doesn't have Vardy

    I have AWB, Bruno

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      yup.
      Rash is trash

    2. Shankly611
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Thinking about doing the exact same moves. Not sure if the -4 to get Greenwood is neccesary

  4. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    What are the Baps going to be?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Rash + Jimi + Nketiah > Greenwood + Vardy + Ings -4 done!!

    1. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Good -4

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks

  9. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    dohetry replacement? thinking go Saiss.
    my other defenders are TAA, Holgate Lascelles, Aurier

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Keep

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        need to downgrade him to do Jimenez>Vardy though

  10. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    What the hell do we do with Rashford. I don’t know if I can take another game where it’s “we all get points except Rashford”

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Obviously get rid, he aint doing it

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Greenwood is way better value. I'm getting rid

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      defo get rid

    4. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Rashford is due - Greenwood can’t keep scoring from 0.1 xG

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        I don’t like this logic personally

    5. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Just pulled the trigger on Rashford - - > Greenwood - was gonna hold initially but his wide position whilst rarely coming inside is not appealing

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah, it’s so frustrating to watch.

    6. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Rashford -> Vardy

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        I have 2 FT and very tempted to use one on Rashford > Greenwood

        The other Jimenez > Vardy

        I originally was bringing in Ings for Jimenez and Digne for Doherty

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          I also want Vardy but going to risk going without next GW

  11. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    A. Jimmy>Vardy
    B. Foden>Pulisic/Antonio
    C. A/B with Antonio (-4 & 3.3 in bank)

    Patricio
    TAA Saiss Lascelles
    KDB Fernandes Martial Salah Foden
    Green Jimenez
    Button DCL Taylor Holgate

  12. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Mane or Bruno captain this week?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      The cheat

    2. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Bruno perma cap. It was absolutely joke that there were people who told KDB was the best pick this week. Bruno killing it every GW.

  13. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Right help me out lads.

    Best defender uo to 4.4.

    Ideally with a good game this week incase TAA gets benched or Aurier injured!

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      kiko? C. Taylor?

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Ctaylor

  14. Fergiesarmy
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Rashford and Jimi out for Vardy and Greenwood for free.

    Obvious or rage transfers?

    1. mr messi
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Do it

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Just good transfers. Do it.

    3. Haugli
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Obvious

    4. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Obvious!

    5. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Beautiful

    6. Forgetmeknot
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Yep makes sense

  15. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Gone from 350,000 to 90,000 since Project Restart. Happy days.

    Would love to keep the momentum going so is:

    Saka > Willian a good move? given upcoming fixtures and form.

    Would mean benching Jimi who's not on form anyway.

    1. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      well improved from 576k to 308k.

      yes get willian

  16. Reg83
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    captain bruno, mane, trent, kdb, sterling or greenwood?

    too many options

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Set capt as Bruno for rest of season and don't touch

  17. Mini Mahouse
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Son > Mane for -4 worth it?

  18. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Not sure what to do with Rashford, would you take a -4 hit to bring in Greenwood? (About 140 points clear in ML)

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      yeah do it

    2. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      You should do it for free

    3. Steve McCroskey
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      If you're 140 points clear it doesn't really matter does it. You could bring in Samatta and captain him every week and still win

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        He only wants to let us know how crap his ML is

        1. Kodap
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          How did you know?

      2. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Haha THIS

  19. UshFPL
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    0.1 short on DCL -> Ings. Do I sell Jimenez instead or take a hit to raise funds?

  20. rowdog24
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Which transfer to prioritise?

    A) Sarr to Willian
    B) Pope to Ederson

  21. JURGENAUT
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Vardy isnt going to be banned for that foul right? Gonna transfer him in

  22. Fishy
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Current team, save transfer?
    Ddg
    Doherty taa aurier 
    Kdb mahrez martial pulisic Antonio 
    Jesus rashford

    HELP PLEASE?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Someone else who doesn't own Bruno still. I'm maybe doing Mahrez to Bruno for a hit, ddg out too.

    2. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Where is Bruno?

  23. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Red arrow from this game, own Bruno Martial AWB total 25 pts, brutal!

    1. ragonian
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      all about the captain pick

  24. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Useless Kevin with a lousy 7 pointer while Bruno cappers are laughing again.

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

      Try being someone who captained Kane v Bournemouth

  25. Pukki Party
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Sell one for Bruno:

    A) Mahrez
    B) Salah
    C) KdB
    D) Rashford

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Rash

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Not quite sure how he'd manage it though...

    2. Babelcopter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Rash

  26. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Greenwood has more goals than Firmino this season playing almost 1800 minutes less. Crazy.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      It wouldnt surprise me to hear that Firmino has scored 0 goals this season.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Greenwood is fantastic but it's pointless comparisons like this without any tactical concept which is why United fans have become obsessed with individuals over team and hence are just about CL challengers and nothing more.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

      2. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Has to be tough knowing your club has reached their peak. Won’t see another trophy for many years

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Congrats for fighting your way to be 5th in PL.

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        How does fan opinion influence the club's success?

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          He’s a Pool fan. They know it’s downhill from here as Mané/Salah May both be gone in the next 12-24 months. Not to mention they won’t get all the breaks as they have all year

        2. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Fan opinions echo and influence club signings at United. They're getting things right recently but let's not forget when they were shoehorning in every big name just to appease fans, sponsorships etc.

          Didn't Woodward say something about the hairs of oppositions neck sticking up because of Schweinstiger?

          That's what I'm referring to.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      In 5 years time he'll be 23. Wonder what he'll be like then.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        He will be called Messi Greenwood then.

  27. ralfb
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Rashford foden jimi > greenwood Vardy Pulisic for -4 wirth it?

  28. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      If you afford to wait

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

  29. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Did aurier go off injured? Didn’t watch the Spurs match earlier.

    1. JURGENAUT
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      No he got subbed at 90 mins maybe to rest him as there was 12 mins added time

      1. Kodap
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Okay, so he was alright?

    2. Pukki Party

      • 9 Years

      It's his winning walk
