Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made another tweak to his defence, which bodes well for managers playing the Free Hit chip in Gameweek 38+.

His latest changes to the Manchester United side look to have confirmed Brandon Williams (£3.8m) can be a starting defender on the final day of the season, costing less than £4.0m.

The young left-back missed a recent trip to Crystal Palace with a head injury but has recovered to deputise for the also sidelined Luke Shaw (£5.4m) against West Ham.

Williams return to the team has also impacted on Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m), who drops out of the starting XI to join the substitutes for the first time since Project Restart began.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) was the man tasked with United’s left-back role at Selhurst Park but, rather than immediately return him to the bench, Solskjaer has switched him onto the right, preferring him to Wan-Bissaka.

That decision could cause deep frustration throughout the Fantasy community with the £5.5m still owned by 19.5% of managers worldwide.

There is much less consternation elsewhere in Wednesday’s first round of team sheets with Bruno Fernandes (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£8.5m), the top 10k’s most popular Gameweek 37+ captains both starting for Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) and Mason Greenwood (£4.8m) are the men either side of Martial, while Michail Antonio (£7.1m) leads the West Ham line once again with Sebastien Haller (£6.8m) still on the bench.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; B Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Fosu-Mensah; Matić, Pogba; Rashford, B Fernandes, Greenwood; Martial.

West Ham United XI (4-5-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Diop, Johnson; Fornals, Rice, Noble, Soucek, Bowen; Antonio.

    They didn't even check the right incident did they?

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

      No, typical var

  3. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

  4. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years

    Rival has VVD to my Azpi and Willian. Who comes out on top?

  7. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Only a yellow? 😆

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

    Unpopular opinion but Bruno is the epitome of average...

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      🙂

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No he’s exhausted carrying this lot

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I got stung by him so many times (non-owner) so glad he is regressing a bit, his points hauls were unsustainable.

      Saying that he'll probably get a cheap pen now.

    4. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Did you know he has only scored one goal against a top 10 team in the premier league. And it was a pen. Check if you don't believe.

    5. Says
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      no, he's just showing why Pep rotates his players

      1. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Pep rotates because he has a big squad of quality players.

    Thai game sums up my season - it’s so ridiculous I just have to laugh

    Bruno (c), Rashford , DDG

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years

      Those players dont even play in the Thai league

    Bruno getting really angry here

    He’s about to lose it. Could be a red very soon

  11. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bruno YC
    Rashford YC

    Strange way to get a rank rise.

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

    First time having Bruno (C) 🙁

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Count yourself lucky its only your first Bruno C fail

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

    why only yellow?

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

      United player.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      They didn't check the full incident. He put his head towards Noble but they just checked his altercation with Masuaku

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

    Another successful captaincy tonight (Fernandes)

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thats it.
    That useless turd is out of my team.

  16. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fernandes (c) rashford Maguire. Just waiting on my 3rd booking

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years

      Man said Maguire.

  17. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Rash and Bruno. 2 points total.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      3 for me! Rashford captain! Yay!

      After Sterling FH Captain last week too. I’m doing so well

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Bruno here. Pathetic.

  18. 1zverGGadeM
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Triple Captain should be on Vardy, Sterling or Salah in GW38, guys ?

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Or even Danny Ings?

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy shouldn't even be in contention.

      Salah or Sterling

      1. 1zverGGadeM
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Imagine Vardy against Maguire in gw38

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Kane or David Silva

  19. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fernandes & Connolly becoming more and more tempting to be:

    Saka & Jesus
    Or
    Antonio & Ings

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. Says
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I have both Saka & Jesus and am shipping them out on free hit

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

      Sorry - I just had to laugh. I'm sympathetic but you must admit it's so funny that you couldn't make it up.

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

    Rashford was on?

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes he came on for a YC and went home!

  26. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Oh ffs. Never captaining Rashford ever again. Idiotic.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you even cap him in the first place

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He was actually a viable option to be frank.

  27. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Ultimate humiliation.

  28. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Trash been put out.

  29. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
