Pogba returns for Man United as Cavani overcomes ankle issue

Paul Pogba (£7.7m) returns to the Manchester United line-up as they prepare to face Everton in Gameweek 23.

The French international was handed a rest for the midweek win over Southampton but slots in at central midfield today.

He is paired with Scott McTominay (£4.9m), allowing Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) to take up his best position in the attacking midfield: the left-hand side.

Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) starts on the other side of Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), this week’s most-captained player among the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Edinson Cavani (£7.9m) has overcome the ankle problem he sustained against Southampton to keep Anthony Martial (£8.7m) on the bench and will be searching for his third goal in four starts.

With Eric Bailly (£4.9m) missing out, Victor Lindelöf (£4.8m) starts a third Premier League matches in a row for the first time since Gameweek 15 while Luke Shaw (£4.9m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) occupy the full-back roles either side of Harry Maguire (£5.5m).

Everton line-up in 4-3-3 formation at Old Trafford with James Rodríguez (£7.7m) and Richarlison (£7.8m) either side of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m).

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) drops to the bench as Carlo Ancelotti prefers more workman-like options such as Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.2m), Tom Davies (£5.2m) and André Gomes (£5.3m) in his central midfield trio.

Gameweek 23 Starting Line-ups

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Pogba, McTominay; Rashford, B Fernandes, Greenwood; Cavani.

Everton XI (4-3-3): Olsen; Digne, Godfrey, Keane, Holgate; Davies, Gomes, Doucouré; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez.

      He has that hollywood pretty face

    another Bruno captain fail, annoying

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The delusion is real

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        😆 😆

      2. Bushwhacker

        Its the alternate humble brag from someone who clearly hasn’t watched a bang average player for the past six weeks

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      7pts ain't a fail yet.

    3. circusmonkey

      I'll take the 7 points thank you. Are you certain anyone else will do better from the realisitc candidates?

  9. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    3 BAPs for Bruno from the man in the stands.

  10. Bushwhacker

    Wonder what animal Ole chose to sacrifice today...

  11. Kaneyonero

    Cmon Son grab a hattrick

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You do realise how Spurs have been playing don’t you?

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm nervous that Kane might be back, even though just unfounded rumours as yet

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Shocking, but form is a fickle thing in football. GW1 and 1st half of GW2 Spurs were terrible - then they go and score 5 and then 6 at United a few weeks later. Can change at any time especially when the fixtures are kinder

    2. mdm
      • 12 Years

      Would love that after the Bruno fail

  12. Sun Jihai

    FPL make it so great goals get an extra goal point and dubious assists one fewer assist points 😉

  13. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who is 1st and 2nd for chances created since Bruno's debut?

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I guess he's both 1st & 2nd according to a few here.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      KDB and grealish I’d guess

    3. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Son or Kane?

  14. acidicleo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No pressure on Son..
    Just 1 goal.with 3 naps and a cs would do.m

    1. Ain't No Holebas Girl
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would rather he stay awake for the whole game

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        🙂

    2. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure why but I sense a big win from Spurs tomorrow..

  15. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guess I should be happy Bruno at least got a goal on triple captain. Still could of done with those baps

  16. The_FF_King
    • 11 Years

    Why do players chew gum during a game?

    1. Monklane
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      always seems dangerous to me

      1. The_FF_King
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Honestly don’t understand it. Is it to look cool?

    2. Yankee Toffee

      Thirst

  17. SADIO SANÉ

    you lot really do need to chill out a bit more, it's only a game

    1. X Trapnel
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There's enough in here for a conference on psychosis. I genuinely think most of the people posting on here really hate football. It can be the only reason for the way they are behaving. They despise the game.

    Bamford (c) brace would be lovely

  19. Duke Silver ☑

    7 points is damage limitation for us non-cappers. Not great not terrible

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's pretty good to be honest. Even if your captain blanks, it's still just 5 points. Even a clean sheet will make it 4 points if he is a midfielder

  20. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    As an Antonio capper absolutely made up Bruno only got 7 points. Could have been far far worse. Damage limitation

  21. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    As a United supporter, that's a nice win and it keeps the pressure on City!

    Good work lads 🙂

      This comment annoys me so much. Why say it before the game is finished
