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.

      WBA - West Bromwich Albion?

      too late to get bruno

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Too late to gate bruno. Same was said last week and the week before that... he has so far been the best point scorer in the entire game by some margin...

      2. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Umm - why too late exactly?

    2. Shankly611
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      1

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      you just getting Bruno now.......write the season off mate

  2. Fantasydreamer
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What we thinking? (Would add martial or Ings in to the opposite combo following week)

    A. Sterling and ings
    B. Martial and vardy

  3. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Those with Triple Man City what you doing? Ive got Mahrez KDB and Foden. 2 of those might not start.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Same problem but only 1FT

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Going to do Rash to Greenwood, so maybe Foden to Puli/Willian

      2. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yep like wise. Thought about it but cant decide between the two

    2. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      i sold mahrez for sterling. have kdb

    3. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I have all 3 but no Bruno. They have Bmouth at home after next gw is the problem.

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. Not a fan of hokey cokey. Chasing hoping to close a 30+ gap so cant risk any non starters

  4. Iggypop
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Sat at 11k but with dcl rashford and jimenez
    Jimmy to vardy still the best move?
    Already have triple united
    Leaves just enough to get Ings in 36

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Get Ings now even for a -4.

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Nah don't do Ings this week for - 4. Best you can realistically hope for against Utd is 1 goal and his usual 3bps - so upside of 3pts. Downside could be much larger than 3.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yup

    3. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Fantastic achievement to reach that rank (with that forward line !)

    4. 23bshumaker
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I have the same front 3... just swapped Rashford out for greenwood for funds. Now I’m trying to decide if I need to swap out jimmy or DCL for Varys or Ings?

  5. Zimo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Was pogba injured at the end there?

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Think he got right up

  6. checkit_j
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy, jesus or Ings.

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy for 1 gw then Ings

      1. checkit_j
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That's my thinking.

        Do I take rashford out or jimi out?

    2. beric
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Ings

    3. Party time
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I prefer Vardy vs the cherries

  7. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Maguire, DCL, Jimi to Digne, Vardy, Greenwood -4?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Like it

    2. ludaslol
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      considering the same move for -8. Maybe azpil over Digne for me.

    3. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Should pay off

  8. JURGENAUT
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Unlikely, but don't make the move yet

  9. BEEZUS
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Best sub 6.5m striker that isnt Greenwood?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Giroud?

    2. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Deeney

  10. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Christ. Third red arrow in a row with 72. Gone from 9k to outside 20k but mainly annoyed about going from 40 points ahead of ML rival to being 50 behind. He’s had back to back 100+ scores past couple of weeks. WTF?!

  11. beric
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Scores? 84 here

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      76 sold salah for foden(c) 8)

      1. beric
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Im sure that was brave not stupid

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Always

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years

      89. Finally a good week 🙂

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      86 fam

      Man U game gave me:
      28+6+6 = 40

      Soton
      9

    4. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      88 needed that after the disappointments of Salah last week and Mahrez sub

    5. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      93 points. Mostly thanks to Bruno (C) Greenwood/Martial/Vardy/Hendersen/Egan/Pulisic

  12. gers23
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    48 point lead at this point a decent lead? Rival still has bench boost though

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yes but id still be looking over my shoulder, i still am and im nearly 100 clear

  13. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    With Rashford playing 90 and not looking anything like his best, is Daniel James would a punt for Monday?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Unchanged team throught. Ole ain't pissing about.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Fell for it

    2. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Ighalo seems essential

    3. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No way

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      all those Man U options and you pick James???????????????????

    5. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      great bantz....

  14. Sargasso C
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Mason Greenwood is KILLING me. Whats frustrating is Rashford has been incredibly unlucky. Two goals disallowed in two weeks, Wan Bissaka missing a sitter.

    To get Greenwood in I need to take a hit which feels wrong. So frustrating as my opponent in my mini league used Greenwood as a filer when he played his wildcard and stuck gold.

    So much of this game is down to luck

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He's NOT unlucky.

      He was offside vs Bournemouth. His shot was going to be saved until an offside Pogba diverted it in. His chance was Villa at the end was a poor finish.

      I'll give you AWB assist, but that is 3 points.

    2. checkit_j
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Join the club

    3. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      not owning a 4.3m nailed on talent of the century has nothing to do with luck

      1. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Talent of the century ha

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you need to take a hit if you own Rashford?

    5. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Having Greenwood isn't luck mate, obvious pick at his price point

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Just hold Rashford for another few weeks

      It’ll even out eventually

      Rashford will hattrick & all will be well with the world again

    7. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Rash

  15. Joyce1998
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Who to captain next game week
    A- salah
    B- vardy
    C- fernandes

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      c from here on out

    3. No Totti No Party
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Im on Bruno, have all 3

    4. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      B

  16. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    A : Mahrez > Mane (C)
    B : DCL > Vardy ( Bruno C )

  17. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    49k -> 98k in one gameweek. Guessing that should be top 10k aspirations totally out of the window

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      EO is destroying ranks.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I was in the 30k’s just before Egan’s goal

      Fast forward 24 hours & it’s mid-50’s

      It’s a slippery slope we try to climb

  18. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is Aurier injured or that sub was tactical?

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He fell on his arm but played some minutes after that. Will have to wait for presser.

  19. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    91 all out.. pretty decent. Teams are starting to look very template from now on though, and it's difficult to make proper gains.

    1. Tempestic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yeh, frustrating isnt it

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It's all about captain choice. Rival captained Mo while I captained KDB. Gained 11 points on me with that desision.

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, would have been over 100 this week if I captained Salah instead of Fernandes... but this game is all about ifs and buts. Captain choice crucial.

      2. Tempestic
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        but captaincy is like 70% luck

  20. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Who to start?
    A) Saka
    B) Egan

  21. Reg83
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    got 72 pts but drop from 305 to 308k.

    i guess having mane over salah cost me

    1. E25
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Very unlucky. Another week could have been Mane with the haul.

  22. E25
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Mane out to free up funds for Vardy this week.Who to get in for him for next 3GW:

    A) Willian
    B) Pulisic
    C) Antonio

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

      A

    2. Whazza

      Your name

  23. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Take a hit for rashford to greenwood yes or no?

    1. E25
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      ofc not! Rash should have scored today too.

  24. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Henderson Leno
    Trent Doherty Aurier Lascelles Lundstram
    Sterling KDB Bruno Pulisic Foden
    Rashford Jimenez Greenwood

    0.5 ITB
    How do I lose Rashford for Martial?

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Son and rash to Martial and Vardy for a hit?
    Should I do it?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think so

      1. mr. inconspicuous
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking the same

    2. Party time
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely

  26. tricky80
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford Jimenez to Abraham Greenwood for a -4? Thinking Tammy gets a run, already have Vardy.

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No Giroud is still first choice

  27. Fishy
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

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

    Pulisic to bruno
    Rashford to ings for a hit???

  28. Camzy
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Bloody Rashford. How did he miss that chance at the end and Pogba freaking going offside to block another shot. So unlucky.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      NOT unlucky. He is not as good as Martial and Greenwood. Hence shoved off to the left to do a job and protect Shaw,. If you look at the heat maps you will see the difference between Greenwood and Rashford and where they receive the ball.

    2. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      And AWB missing the sitter..

  29. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Cheat Bruno stole bps from Greenwood finish 99 points with BB. If only wolves kept that CS with Doherty and Saiss

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      opening goal bps

  30. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    That Mourinho gambling commercial looks more and more cringe by the week..
