Mason Greenwood (£7.5m) finds himself on the bench as Manchester United start their Premier League campaign a week late.

The 18-year-old was a fixture on the right-hand side of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attacking midfield trio during Project Restart, but his place has been handed to Daniel James (£6.5m) today.

The Manchester United boss has made two surprising decisions on the right-hand side of the pitch as Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) loses out to Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) in defence.

Outside of that, the Red Devils line up mostly as we would expect. Anthony Martial (£9.0m) leads the line, supported by Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) on the left and Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) in the number 10 role.

There will be plenty of eyes on those two players as Jan Sienkiewicz pointed out in the most recent captaincy article that Crystal Palace have shown some weakness from set pieces and down their right flank in open play.

Roy Hodgson’s men arrive at Old Trafford in their traditional 4-4-2 formation, Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) once again deployed out of position as a centre-forward alongside Jordan Ayew (£6.0m).

Budget defender Tyrick Mitchell (£4.0m) keeps his place in the side at left-back, although the defensive injury crisis at Palace eases slightly with the return of Mamadou Sakho (£4.5m) at centre-back.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Fosu-Mensah; Pogba, McTominay; Rashford, B Fernandes, D James; Martial.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; Mitchell, Sakho, Kouyaté, J Ward; Schlupp, McCarthy, McArthur, Townsend; Zaha, Ayew.

    Mitro, Jimi, Jesus, Werner, Martial, DCL, Rich, Bamford and potentially more. So many to choose from

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You accidentally listed Jesus in there

      1. F4L
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Oh ye of little faith

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Praise Jebus!

      2. Alisson WondHaaland
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Could easily do better than the others in his price bracker

      3. Cilly Bonnolly

        6 years, 1 month ago

        Anyone who’s a nailed starter up front for City is an option and with Aguero out that’s Jesus. I could score a few up front for that team.

    2. Ser Davos
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I look on proudly with my Davis and Ings combo 😆

  2. squ1rrel
    6 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy - 4.0
    TAA - Shaw - Saiss - Justin - 4.0
    Salah - KDB - Willian - ASM - 4.5
    Werner - DCL - Mitro

    1.5 ITB, just ASM -> Podence this week for FT?

    Has been ages since I've cared abt this game...

    1. Stimps
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No brainer

  3. The Wizard of Ozil
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba & Havertz -> KDB & Bruno

    This look ok to do tonight (if Bruno comes through this one ok)

    Will need to be tonight due to price

    1. diabydoesgallas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks solid to me.

  4. raff97
    6 years, 1 month ago

    14 goals in 2 games is all fun and games when you have Mitro and Hamez. Now is when I hide behind the sofa with no United players.

  5. Joey Tribbiani
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Where does Fanteam get their stats? FPL shows 3 saves for Meslier, but Fanteam shows 2... furious

  6. S.Kuqi
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Those with wildcard active. Jimenez looks must have for next 5 gws. Atleast for me.

    1. Ser Davos
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, agreed and such FPL pedigree

      Podence aside, I’d say Patricio or Coady too

  7. Rolls-Royce
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Really fancy Zaha to score here

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Evra bringing up zaha and moyes daughter 😆

    1. Davido989
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You could hear Souness chuckle when Evra said it

    2. HurriKane
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Moyes daughter is hot af though.

      1. XabiAlonso
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He's defo not the dad

    3. Amanda Staveley
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Too funny! Evra is a legend

  9. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Are post game deductions not a thing anymore?

    1. Nightcrawler
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bps deductions

  10. The Red Devil
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So many budget forward options
    Was looking at getting Jimenez, go DCL instead?

    1. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think all-budget is sustainable. The likes of Werner, Martial, Jimenez, Vardy will have something to say.

    2. james 101
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have both

      Watch Jimmy and decide

  11. TomSaints
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Just got in. Own DCL, Digne and Ayling. Very mixed bag!

    Going to be some monster scores around.

    1. Nightcrawler
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not yet. Dont think anyone owns more than 3 of the big scorers so far

      Captain points will decide the big scores

      1. Andy_Social
        6 years, 1 month ago

        A rival of mine captained DCL, and has Bamford and James

    2. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      There will be people with most of the 10+ point players so far, yes.

      1. TomSaints
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely and fair play to them. If I’d have been on wildcard I’d have had DCL and Rodriquez for sure, maybe Klich due to penalties as 5th mid.

        Still a long way to go

  12. Hotdogs for Tea
    6 years, 1 month ago

    feeling worried with no City or Utd ...

    1. james 101
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Some scary players in there

      I have KDB Martial and Bruno and I know there are others who could hurt me!

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        6 years, 1 month ago

        i took a hit to get James Rod and DCL instead

        1. james 101
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Nice swaps mate. No regrets there.

        2. Ministerjones
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Same and kept Mitro

  13. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I think i will go casual, over analyzing and reading this website has got me to nowhere honestly.

    1. james 101
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Dont you enjoy it?

      If you don’t then yeah. Dump it. You’re not getting paid for this!

    Boomshakalaka.

  15. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you WC with this lot? 1.0 ITB 1FT

    Ryan (Steer)
    TAA Doherty KWP Lewis (Mitchell)
    Salah Auba JRodriguez ASM (Gordon)
    Werner Ings (Davis)

    to (probably, could change some things ie maybe even drop Trent, or maybe keep KWP, maybe ditch Werner...?)

    MARTINEZ (Steer)
    TAA SAISS TAYLOR (Lewis Mitchell)
    Salah KDB JRodriguez KLICH (BISSOUMA)
    Werner MARTIAL WILSON

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, would not WC.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Any reason not? Doesn't have to be that exact team ofc. Could be Podence over Klich for example, or Jimenez over Werner...

        1. Bobby Digital
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I have a similar team and I'm sticking. Do have 2FTs though...

    2. james 101
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d probably do it yes mate.

      And I’d avoid TAA if unsure. Expensive option if not performing.

    3. FPL Alaska
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No for me

    4. Kalsou
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't Wildcard your current team is good enough to navigate the coming weeks with a hit or two at most.

  16. Bubz

    Why do I get automatically logged out of this site every 5 minutes

    1. Rainer

      Log in through Bet365 and there's no issues.

  17. The Train Driver
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know the record of most PL goals in one gameweek?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Got nothing on Boxing Day 1963

      1. Nightcrawler
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He said pl

      2. james 101
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ha.

        No ideas if serious!

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Google it

      1. Optimus.
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Up to 2015 it was 47 it seems

    2. Coys96

      43

  18. Bobby Digital

    Aubaaa!!!?

    1. Pep Roulette

      What!?

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I hope we'll say that x3 later

      1. Bobby Digital
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Atleast!

    3. james 101
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Willian?

  19. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Costa or Klich?
    Cos Leeds are definitely gonna score goals

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Klich....pens

  20. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think it might be fine to keep Auba for the next 2 and sort out other problems in their team first?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      just take a -8 and enjoy yourself 🙂

    2. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Certainly no need to rush him out.

      Arteta will park it at Anfield & he'll be on the counter vs Trent, then SHU...

    3. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Away to Liverpool? Not for me, but watch them first!

    4. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I posted this on the last page, I'm thinking of keeping him for a little bit longer

    5. TomSaints
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If Liverpool concede a few v Chelsea then I think I’ll hold. Want to see city play and decide whether I’m happy with KDB (c)

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Dinge, Klich 10 points from my WC so far.

    Now for Bruno to cause havoc!

  22. Hotdogs for Tea
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What’s this whispering about Auba?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You tell me

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        6 years, 1 month ago

        seen a few posts on here, whisper like hints

    2. FPL Scoop

      sh!t

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Is he out?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        6 years, 1 month ago

        no idea, just a few strange posts on here today

      2. james 101
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would be awesome

    4. Over Midwicket
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Is he injured?

    5. Zimo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's coming out

    6. Lazaretti
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Some post here quessing he has flu?

  23. Steve The Spud

    How's this WC team looking ?

    Martinez

    James,saiss,digne
    Podence,bruno,kdb,salah
    Werner,DCL,6.0

    Lamptey,4.5,4.0

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      lacks a few names

  24. Alisson WondHaaland
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I missed the Leeds Fulham game, besides the pure goal/assists who looked the most impressive from Leeds?

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford & Klich for their price.

      Wouldn't go near the defence, keeper looks awful with absolutely no presence and they're too all out attack.

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

  25. Chucky
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mitro 3 baps locked?

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Looks final now, Chuck. Season saved!

      1. Chucky
        6 years, 1 month ago

        thanks 😛

  26. Ser Davos
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I like FUL and WBA with regards to their traditions, grounds etc.

    But honestly, Brentford may well have had a crack with a new stadium, uncharted territory and with BMW

  27. Over Midwicket
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Guaita.
    Digne. Saiss. James.
    Sterling(C). Bruno. Hamez. Foden.
    Martial. Jimmy. DCL.

    4.0. Justin. Reed. Mitchell. 1.1itb for luxury upgrades.

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool thrown out of the league?

      1. Over Midwicket
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Expensive, poor fixtures, not great form

        1. Seanigula
          6 years, 1 month ago

          They put 5 past Chelsea a few months ago, and I’m not buying that Arsenal’s defense is anything special...but I can see avoiding LIV defenders

    2. Seanigula
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You’re gonna wish you had Salah and Werner

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings price dropping tonight is incredibly annoying. If Tony Martial smashes it then that's my FT done

  29. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Time to get comfortable...behind the sofa

  30. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which move with FT?
    A)Auba to KDB
    B) Davies to Saiss
    C) Ings to Jimenez

    Worth a hit to do any two of them later?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      6 years, 1 month ago

      do them all ?
