Bruno Fernandes breaks captaincy record as he starts for Man United

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be anxiously watching Bruno Fernandes (£11.4m) who has been captained by a record 2,715,840, the highest amount ever recorded.

Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) start out wide with Anthony Martial (£8.8m) playing through the middle.

David McGoldrick (£5.2m) will be hoping to add Manchester United to his big six scalps this season.

Club legend Billy Sharp (£5.5m) starts up front with McGoldrick.

The Blades midfield has a familiar look, with John Lundstram (£4.9m), John Fleck (£5.6m) and Oliver Norwood (£4.6m) in central midfield. Kean Bryan (£3.9m) and George Baldock (£4.9m) start at wing-back.

Phil Jagielka (£3.9m), Chris Basham (£4.6m) and Ethan Ampadu (£4.3m) start at centre-back, with Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m) in goal.

James Rodriguez (£7.7m) and Richarlison (£7.8m) join DCL. Tom Davies and Andre Gomes (£5.3m) line-up in midfield.

Lucas Digne (£6.0m) and Mason Holgate (£4.8m) start in defence, with Yerry Mina (£5.6m) and Michael Keane (£5.1m) and Ben Godfrey (£5.0m). Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) continues in goal.

Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) continues in a false nine role for Leicester in the absence of Jamie Vardy (£10.0m).

James Maddison (£7.2m), Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) line-up behind Perez.

Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) start in the heart of the Leicester midfield.

James Justin (£5.0m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) line-up at full-back, with Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.5m) at centre-back. Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m) plays in goal.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m) leads the line for Brighton tonight in a six-pointer at the bottom of the table.

Supporting Maupay are Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£5.3m), with Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) and Pascal Groß (£5.8m) in midfield.

Joel Veltman (£4.3m) and Solly March (£5.0m) are selected at wing-back. Ben White (£4.4m) moves back into defence, with Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) and Andy Webster (£4.4m).

Robert Sanchez (£4.4m) is Brighton’s number one.

Ivan Cavaleiro (£4.3m) continues in a false-nine role for Scott Parker’s Fulham side.

Either side of Cavaleiro will be Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.3m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m).

Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) and Harrison Reed (£4.4m) start in midfield for the Cottagers.

Ola Aina, Tosin Adarabioyo, Joachim Andersen and Kenny Tete start in defence. Summer signing Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) is in goal.

    AWB to Rashy & he misses the target ahhhhh!

      Own both. That was painful.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I have both...

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      that would have been perfect ..... only disappointment now.

    Sort of game Man Utd blank in this isn’t it

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A pen will sort that out.

    2. Scots Gooner

      Feels a bit like that so far. Quite a slow pace.

    3. Salan

      Man Utd will have penalties and Bruno will bury them.

    Could really do with Salah being dropped tomorrow. Hate staring at Soucek's points on my bench. He was in my bus team until I stupidly decided Dallas was the better option. Another blunder was changing my mind of the KDB > Gundogan move and going for Son. Lesson learnt, I will stick with my first thoughts from now on.

      Lots of people in the same boat. Soucek first sub. I never even considered Gundo

      1. evilfish
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He was my first thought. I talked myself out of the move. Gundo's form is just a flash in the pan whilst Son is more consistent. Oh well, que sara and all that.

          7 gameweeks is a flash in the pan?

          1. evilfish
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            yes

  4. dark91

    Rashford very close

  5. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Everton is playing so awful, can't match with Leicester's speed

  6. Londongeezaa

    What time do the Bruno captain fail posts start?

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      5...4...3...2...1...

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        FML, Bruno Cap Fail. Ramsdale essential

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        How’s that?

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          5/10.

          Not whiny enough. Need to blame other people's advice for captaining him over Gundogan + 'season over etc

          1. The Ilfordian
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers Scots Gooner. Good advice. Still trying to be an expert in blame avoidance and being an expert in hindsight. For the record, I had Kean Bryan TC up to the last minute but was convinced by so called ‘experts’ on this site to go for Bruno. Damn this season. Everyone else is a casual!!! 🙂

    So Shu playing on counter with 2 slowest forwards in the league 33 and 34yo.

    Wilder going on record this season

    1. Ode
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sharp is rapid

  8. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any early thoughts here?

    Martinez
    Dias Cancelo Dier
    Grealish Fernandes Sterling Salah Son
    Bamford Antonio

    Subs: Konsa, Dallas, Brewster

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like an ideal team barring Bamford

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Make him Watkins

  9. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Everton goal looking in any way likely? I can't have another Justin CS for owners

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That would be horrible

  10. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    United going to get 3 at least here if they can click up top

  11. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Wonder what the highest captain choice was by percent.

    1. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe Suarez towards the end of that season.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Haha. That was my guess.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Suarez against Norwich in 2013/14

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No idea how you know that but that would be exactly what I’d guess thanks.

    3. tambourineman
      • 9 Years

      Suarez vs Norwich in GW35 of 2013-14 had 99.4% ownership and 89.6% captaincy for those within the top 10k, so 189 EO (in the days before EO)

    That was SHU’s chance, United CS banked.

  13. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    I’ve had enough of Rashford, fricking useless

  14. dark91

    Awful decision making from Greenwood

  15. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So another 1-0/1-1 score in the game with the most capped player...

  16. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Burnley the only side with a home win so far this GW

  17. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is DCL playing? Seems invisible

  18. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This is gonna be the exact same as the last Sheffield v MUN game I captained Bruno in.... blank.

  19. Amsterhammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Have Antonio, Bamford, Watkins. Free transfer. Who to lose for Kane? Any advice.

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bamford.

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

      Bamford well out of form

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bamford. Not sure if sarcastic?

    4. Aeu96197
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bamford

    5. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Seems unanimous. Thanks all.

  20. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    dreadful day for me

    just the single point from Martinez and 20% rank drop

    No Grealish, Targett or Watkins

    relying on the big guns to save me: (B)runo,Son,Kane,Salah

  21. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years

    Bye bye Bamford.

    Wood on my bench. Disgraceful troll you spineless player.

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      So for all the times you've complained about him not delivering, you decide to bench him in a favourable fixture against a team he likes scoring against?

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yes because I hate him

  23. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
