The penultimate match of Gameweek 28 sees third played fifth in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 19:15 GMT.

The most-captained player of Gameweek 28, Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), features in this clash.

Those Fantasy managers who handed the armband to – or perhaps vice-captained, after yesterday’s Manchester City no-shows – the Portuguese midfielder have a chance to steal a march on their rivals following blanks for the likes of Harry Kane (£11.4m) and Son Heung-min (£9.6m) in the earlier kick-off.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made just the one change from the United side that triumphed in the Manchester derby.

It’s an enforced one at that, with Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) in for the injured Anthony Martial (£8.6m) up top.

Martial and Edinson Cavani (£7.8m) aren’t involved in the matchday squad and neither is David de Gea (£5.3m), whose spell in quarantine will end after today’s game.

Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) is fit to feature, however.

David Moyes has made three alterations from the side that beat Leeds United 2-0 on Monday.

Mark Noble (£4.5m) makes his first competitive start since West Ham last played at Old Trafford in the FA Cup at the beginning of February.

Jarrod Bowen (£5.9m) and Ben Johnson (£3.9m) also come into the side.

Said Benrahma (£6.0m) is benched, Pablo Fornals (£5.9m) misses out with a minor muscle strain and Jesse Lingard (£6.1m) is ineligible to feature against his parent club.

GAMEWEEK 28 SO FAR…

Rashford fit to start but Martial, Cavani and de Gea miss out on West Ham clash 2

The north London derby was a dismal watch for most Fantasy managers with Tottenham Hotspur representation in their squads.

Son Heung-min (£9.6m) limped off with an injury, Gareth Bale (£9.5m) failed to make it to even the 60-minute mark and Harry Kane (£11.4m) was denied by an offside flag and a goalpost as Spurs’ three popular attacking assets accumulated just four points between them.

On Son’s issue, Jose Mourinho said:

That’s football. I don’t know how long it is. It’s muscular. Muscular is always not easy. He’s a guy that normally recovers very, very well from any kind of injury.

That’s an accumulation of matches. In the Europa League the other day, I gave him 30 minutes rest… but 60 is still 60. And when you are in so many competitions, some players they have more minutes than others, which is normal. It’s something that can happen.

Rashford fit to start but Martial, Cavani and de Gea miss out on West Ham clash 3

Bale was hooked because of what his manager described was a lack of “intensity”, meanwhile.

Spurs barely deserved the lead given to them by Erik Lamela‘s (£5.7m) rabona, with another effort on goal not arriving until the 70th minute.

After a quiet game, Kane belatedly found the net with a header that was flagged for offside before seeing a late free-kick smash against the hosts’ goalframe.

Arsenal turned the game around with a deflected effort from Martin Odegaard (£5.9m) and an Alexandre Lacazette (£8.1m) penalty.

Owners of the Gunners’ two most-popular assets were as much out of luck as those with Spurs’ in-demand players.

Bukayo Saka (£5.3m) was withdrawn at half-time with a hamstring injury, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) was an unused substitute for disciplinary reasons.

Their manager explained:

We don’t know [about Saka]. He was feeling his hamstring.

[Aubameyang] was going to start the game. We had a disciplinary issue, we have drawn the line and we move on. We have a process that we have to respect for every game, and that’s it.

We deal with the situation on the day. That’s been done, now we move on.


Manchester United XI: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Greenwood, Fernandes, James, Rashford.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Johnson, Noble, Bowen, Antonio.

    I’d be very interested to know the avg ppg for players the week after they score double figures this season and how it compares to prior years. Feels like every time someone hauls, they follow it with a blank...

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

      It's the same every season. Nobody delivers every week. You notice it more if you chase last weeks points.

        I mean I’ve capped him this week so of course this will be one of his rare blanks

      I'd be interested in the opposite-how the most popular captain choices each gameweek fare the following week by comparison. Seems to be a lot of "one week too late" hauls this season.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This season definitely has been one week early, one week late. Everyone piles on and they blank. Everyone sells and they haul.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            Still wouldn’t

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 16 Years

              Hence the “one week early, one week late” will continue 😉

                This.

                  Not this.. Vardy buyers aren’t going to like the next few weeks. He didn’t haul twice in a row; he was a lottery ticket this week

                  1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                    • 16 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    They’ll be grand

                    Once they’ve finished counting all of his points they have FH29, then WBA, CPL, sou, NEW in the following 6 fixtures... (he already has a hattrick vs City the other opponent)

                    Thinking Vardy home to Sheffield a United is a lottery ticket is exactly why “This season definitely has been one week early, one week late. Everyone piles on and they blank. Everyone sells and they haul”

                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      Again, easy to say now... the team has been poor, he hasn’t returned in three months and he benefited from an unforeseeable situation with the manager.

                      If you picked Lamela, I’d give you the same credit/criticism

                      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                        • 16 Years

                        “Easy to say now”

                        But it was last week....

                        Not with this gusto.. if you feel vindicated by your pick, great, but you certainly seem like you are being petty and rubbing it in peoples faces to make yourself feel better.

                        Is suggesting that the standard deviation of scores has increased this season “dragging the site into the gutter” or is it the obviously flawed individuals who come here to get attention and talk shite in order to make themselves feel big?

                        Disagree, fine. Point out that you picked Vardy and it worked, fine; that actually supports my point that hauls are coming inconsistently. Just don’t play the look at me game every week; it’s tiresome.

                        Read again:

                        “ nice long rest in the run up to the game, quiet of late & will be absolutely chomping at the bit to put SHU to the sword to get back into the golden boot race

                        Lovely captaincy shout especially with Kane & Bruno both having quick turnarounds after Thursday night europa's + Salah & KDB having midweek champs lge

                        Can see a treble return tbh”

                        That’s as much gusto as is needed - any more & id have to log into your team & click the buttons myself & im just not going to go that far...

                        What’s dragging the site into the gutter is firstly dismissing that out of hand with lazy analysis (he isn’t healthy and doesn’t look right; without mad/Barnes I wouldn’t buy for 6.0) and then 7 days later when suprise suprise the lazy analysis has blown up in your face, to fart out ridiculous generalisations crying about how “ This season definitely has been one week early, one week late. Everyone piles on and they blank. Everyone sells and they haul.”

                        And then to double down by saying it was a lottery ticket lol - Even FFS themselves pointed out Vardy’s credentials two days ago, albeit a day before deadline:

                        https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2021/03/11/who-is-the-best-fpl-captain-for-gameweek-28/

                        “ Vardy should get plenty of goalscoring opportunities in that match-up, as no other team has conceded more shots on target than the Blades in their last four matches. Meanwhile, Vardy ranks top among all forwards for shots from inside of the box in the last four league games on home soil.”

                        You’ve had a mare here to be fair son, put down the shovel & climb out of that hole you’re digging 🙂

                        Did I say Vardy would blank? Did I say there were better options?

                        I said I wouldnt buy him at any price with their current form. Obviously having a blank and then facing two of the top defs in the league are a factor. Vardy was net negative and his top 10k ownership dropped as well. Enjoy cashing your lottery ticket.

                I’ve been too conservative, always my intention to take more chances, but then I try to limit exposure to top picks and end up with the popular C every week. It’s why I’m always just inside 100k; no risk it, no biscuit

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Vardy got 3 big chances & created 4 big chances in 90 mins today - should have been a haul for the ages.

              As it was, it was just merely just excellent.

              1. The Suspended One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years

                Didn’t see it to be honest; seems it had quite a bit to do with the opposition though, no?

                1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 16 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Exactly as predicted (but dismissed out of hand by some) last week...

                  1. The Suspended One
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    You didn’t say “hey let’s target SHU, their manager will be fired the day before the game and they will be poor”. Vardy was a fortunate call and a measured risk, fair play to you, but easy to come brag after he delivers for the first time in .. what... 3 months....?

                    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                      • 16 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      They’d have been beaten by a lot more were it not for new manager bounce imo

                      Plus it’s not a brag at all - read again - it’s a reply pointing out the ridiculousness of your comment generalising a whole season into that defeatist soundbite when in fact unfortunately symptomatic of the type of lazy analysis with which you dismissed Vardy that is unfortunately dragging the site into the gutter of late

                      1. The Suspended One
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 13 Years
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        Again, didn’t watch the match.

                        Again, you didn’t contradict my point, you provided evidence to support it.

                        “ This season definitely has been one week early, one week late. Everyone piles on and they blank. Everyone sells and they haul.”

                        If you go around dismissing sound advice with lazy, poorly thought out soundbites, then something tells me this season shall continue in he same vein for you 😉

                        • 13 Years
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        Nobody dismissed any advice. You are conflating your obsession with saying Vardy was due with my actual point: “ I’d be very interested to know the avg ppg for players the week after they score double figures this season and how it compares to prior years. Feels like every time someone hauls, they follow it with a blank...”

                        If you accept my premise; Vardy was a better choice than Kane. You are AGREEING with me. Get past the idea that you are superior a d just consider the question. Last year, Mo and Bruno were locked in weekly captains and consistently returned big hauls. This season, they have been less consistent. Chasing hauls is more perilous this year and we should take more chances. What don’t you get about that?

                        • 16 Years
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        Its there in black & white - Vardy was recommended as a captain choice - and was dismissed out of hand (he isn’t healthy and doesn’t look right; without mad/Barnes I wouldn’t buy for 6.0)

                        My point isn’t about superiority at all - it’s about not filling the board with nonsense - nonsensically dismissing Vardy, and then nonsensically generalising a season into defeatist soundbites

                        Normally I wouldn’t call people up on posting nonsense, as there’s just so much of it on here now - but this was such a crystal clear example that it had to be called, and it’s interesting to see your response I must say, the doubling down into calling Vardy a lottery ticket & reducing him to “not having returned in 3 months” etc - really indicative of what these once useful boards have been reduced to 🙂

                        He hasn’t had a return in three months.. he’s been injured.. they had been off form.

                        These aren’t opinions, they are facts. Fair play that it went your way this week against a team that clearly has given up.

                        If you really were so locked in on Lei- Shu you should have targeted the player who has been in better form, is cheaper and outscored Vardy. You got it half-right.

                        Again, it’s 100% not the point. Coming into a conversation about consistency and pointing out that he guessed Vardy would do well this week in some comment three days ago has zero bearing on anything but his ego.

      The big hitter inconsistency syndrome is something of a norm nowadays. It's all about targeting the fixtures. Get the two or three big hitting slots, and use most of the transfers to swap between the captains. I lose myself when I diverge from that strategy around blanks and doubles.

    This game is a bit of a damp squid. For all intensive purposes neither team has taken the initiative from the gecko.

      Replay of the dull FA cup game, but what can you do when Moyes totally parks the bus

        This. Even Antonio was in his own half.

    Think I’ll stick with the golf. This game has been worse than anticipated.

      Westwood going to bottle it again?

        Hope so, I have £5 free bet on Tomas since the start of play!

        • 9 Years

        He hasn’t said anything btw that I’m aware, just thinking back to the Son injury earlier in the season

  17. mezza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Bruno with a huge BPS as usual.

    One assist might be enough for 3 bonus.

  18. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This is truly awful from Moyes. Going for top 4 and playing for 0-0.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Absolute masterclass, schooling Ole's expensive squad.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He’s moving like Ole now

    2. The Suspended One

      Draw suits them here

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        you not getting top 4 if you play for a draw

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Look at the fixtures; they have 2 more tough games after this, draw those, win 4/5 and they have it

          Which side has the most 0-0s this season?

        3. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ole will finish top four and does it ALL the time.

  19. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years

    Would you FH now?

    Martinez/Areola

        Idk tbh man. Struggled the last 3 out of 4 weeks and I need something to happen for me.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I don’t think you have enough to sort to warrant FH.
          A -4 sorts it I think

  20. Scapegoat Salah

    We all know what’s coming in the second half don’t we?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Would be dreamland if that happened, one return at best I think, likely a pen

    6. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I feel like both these sides would take a 0-0 here. Expect nothing. Get noting. And you will never be disappointed. Free lesson for playing FPL right there.

    When all your mini league rivals captains flop and you quietly salivate over your captain hitting a home run on a boring lockdown Sunday evening ..... then before you know it, your captain is half way through his flop .... and you know your mini league rivals are quietly salivating over your captain striking out ...

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nope. I am waiting for my Monday C flop with Jota 🙂

    What are Son owners doing with him? No point keeping for now, right? Deluded to be thinking there's a chance he might get minutes next week, right?

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years

      Prob just switch to Bale

      Deluded. Out he goes, but I have to FH first.

      1. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years

        If you press free hit. He is back in your team next game week.

      • 16 Years

      Keep keep keep

      FH29, 2 week international break after 29

    5. CBonci
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m keeping. (1) I remember. (2) He probably wouldn’t miss more than Villa anyway at most imo. He came off when he felt it when it obviously best case scenario.

  23. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Moyes would have put the whole bench with the players sitting in them in defence, if he could this match.

  24. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Noble is genuinely finished. Why Moyes still starts him... we may never know

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      experienced head probably!

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Because he's the captain?

  25. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Westwood falling apart

  26. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How is Bruno?

  27. citizenkane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    For those of you whose plan was to navigate 29 with FTs and then WC in 30/31, with the injuries today and likely being able to field 2 or 3 fewer than originally than intended for 29, would bringing forward the WC to 29 make some sense?

    Didn't even think of WC29 because fixture swing is lovely from 31, but having like 4 fit players for 29 is making me seriously consider it. Thoughts?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am thinking 8/9 enough for GW29 then WC31

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am not in that situation, but would consider getting starting XI and taking a lot of hits next week.

  28. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Next week not even 6 players starting what to do?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      FH / WC / nothing

      1. Jindaljain
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Have WC but after that?

  29. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years

    I’ve two ft going into next week. If I free hit will I still have two going into gw30 ?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Njet

    2. Tinkermania

      Nope. You won't have 2.

  30. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    My guess is Rashford dives for the inevitable Bruno penalty.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dan James for me.
