As feared, Manchester United bring a heavily rotated side into their second Triple Gameweek 35 fixture.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes 10 changes from the team that beat Aston Villa on Sunday, Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) the only asset to retain his starting berth against Leicester City.

After featuring on the flanks of attacking midfield at Villa Park, the 19-year-old leads the line on Tuesday evening with Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) and Edinson Cavani (£8.0m) on the bench.

They are joined there by Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), Paul Pogba (£7.6m), Luke Shaw (£5.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.7m) and Dean Henderson (£5.2m).

Premier League debutants Amad Diallo (£5.4m) and Anthony Elanga provide the width this evening, either side of Juan Mata (£5.8m), who makes his first league start since Gameweek 9.

Nemanja Matic (£4.7m) and Donny van de Beek (£6.6m) look set for central midfield duties while Solskjaer has named a back-four of Brandon Williams (£4.2m), Eric Bailly (£4.8m), Axel Tuanzebe (£4.1m) and Alex Telles (£5.3m) in front of David de Gea (£5.3m).

Leicester are in much strong first-team shape with James Maddison (£7.3m) and Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) the only two to drop the bench.

As expected, Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.3m) lead the line with Ayoze Pérez (£6.0m) taking on a number 10 role in front of Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.4m).

Luke Thomas (£4.1m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.2m) are the left and right wing-backs respectively with Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) tucked into a back-three with Caglar Söyüncü (£5.3m) and Wesley Fofana (£5.0m).

Triple Gameweek 35 Line-ups

Manchester United XI: De Gea; B Williams, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Telles; Matic, van de Beek; Diallo, Mata, Elanga; Greenwood.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Söyüncü, Fofana, Castagne; Thomas, Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton; Pérez; Vardy, Iheanacho.

Triple Gameweek 35 so far…

        5 years, 1 month ago

        Same but no point now . Still better than people who have Watkins or maguire

      Similar i have both. But c rashford

      1. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That’s why I don’t get people banging on about Greenwood capt

        Rash and Bruno will play next game and may score

  3. space mercenary

    Greenwood captain here. Makes up for my Maguire and Watkins FH picks.

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well done!

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Great C pick there

    3. Auntie Niemi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That makes two of us.massive green arrow to follow.

  4. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Decided not to do the -4 Maddison to Greenwood so I wasn’t transferring in a GW36 blanket. Already been planning a hit this week instead but we know how that’ll go.

    1. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      *blanker

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      correct decision IMO, just a bad outcome. I did the same regarding Bruno

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

      Unlucky mate honestly, just pray he misses the next one I guess.

    4. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers chaps, feel marginally better!

    5. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Done JWP instead of Greenwood for similar reasons plus I could afford Digne as well (4 up on that plus another game) and 9 players for this GW instead of 7. So hoping he gets no further points.

  5. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Elantga muscled off the ball so easy there poor lad

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

    Kasper Schmeichel on GW31 wild card has been an unmitigated disaster. Cannot wait to get rid for a hit this week.

    1. justaguy9
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same here! Whats worse i benched mendy for this clown

  7. justaguy9
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If Leicester can't beat the manu reseves (except for Greenwood) they dont deserve to be in the Champions League

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fair comment. Plenty of time (and goals) left in this game though.

  8. Crystal Pulis
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What is Nacho's EO top 10k guys? Thanks

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      96,93% so everyone owns him

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Next week not so much.

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Like 96%.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      ~97%

  9. Yome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Went safe with Bruno C although I have to close a gap of about 30 points in my ML. I was worried about rotation. Thought Bruno was the most nailed on...

    1. Crystal Pulis
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno was always the logical choice.

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes although FPL is also about risk taking. This was an opportunity to risk it on Greenwood C

        1. Crystal Pulis
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You have plenty of time to close a 30 point gap.

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

      Still another fixture to come

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I chose to go Salah over Bruno. You are still doing better.

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It was obvious Bruno would only start 2 games. Ole pretty much said no-one is starting all 3. He was still a good C option regardless.

  10. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lost my mini league this game. Really upset about it.

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

      Still 3 weeks to go, miracles do happen, yada yada yada.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Costing me mine too, all 3 United players bench, all 3 Leicester players not involved in goal, all rivals have Greenwood

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

      Good thing your season is over already

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Lol painful isn’t he...

  11. GinjaWhinja
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Double Man Utd defence they said...

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who?

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who said ?

  12. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Last minute decision of changing Benteke Greenwood Ward to DCL El-Ghazi Mitchell not looking good this GW. But should pay off in the next three. Right?

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

      Ummm... how do I put this delicately...

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha! Ok Ok!

    2. justaguy9
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dcl and Mitchell returned. So not terrible. Still ur players have a game left

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I hope they cover the difference.

  13. justaguy9
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who will take penalties for manu today? No penandes or rashford. So Greenwood?

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

      Mata would be my guess

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Mata or Greenwood

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Penwood

  14. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ole is one of the pathetic manager I have ever seen.ffs!!!!!

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

      He was a half tick away from strapping on his kit, what did you want him to do?

      1. not_astarte
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have TC Bruno and ole is jinxing it for me.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      OMG!!!11oneone

  15. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Brandon Williams one of the worst players in the Prem

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I remember when he first came through, some MU fans wanted him over Shaw.

      1. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He's rash and has zero positional sense

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That pretty much sums him up.

  16. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy has been such a letdown these past GWs.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      🙁

    2. dark91
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The whole Leicester team actually bar Nacho

    3. not_astarte
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy has never been a choice, this past GWs

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well, he scored 11 in his 1st 14 games, 2 in his last 22. Been a let down for a while.

    5. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He’s finished. This is his last season as any sort of an asset to Foxes.

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

      I was just hoping for one pen on FH... just one...

    7. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Best thing of having him in my FH team is that he prevented me from having Watkins instead of him, and thus not going for Rashford over Greenwood.
      So there is that hahaha

      Sadly I also have Castagne - there is no silver lining...

  17. justaguy9
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who is more likely to get a cameo? Bruno or rashford or both? At thus stage i ll take an appearance point by c rashford.

  18. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Nacho looking like scoring at all?

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

      Very quiet so far this evening

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dammit

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Did not look like scoring in the last one too. Still 45 to go against teenagers.

  19. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Not doing Jota > Greenwood is causing huge drop!

  20. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I know its all about points, but Leicester does not deserve to play in CL.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed.

    2. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Based on?

      1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not being good enough and hitting the bottle at the end of a season.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They have been awful for a while and Rodgers teams always seem to bottle it when the going gets tough

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Absolute rubbish - just look at the players we've lost. Justin, Barnes, Evans (recently) - all vital players. If we get the points then we deserve it.

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

        Justin? Barnes?
        All teams has their injuries. Brendan just got too much tinkering

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          If, and maybe it's a big if, we get the points then we deserve it. Full stop.

    5. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who would you say deserves fourth over them then?

    6. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why ? Rather them than teams that spend millions on players who don't even get a game imo

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

      Catch them if you can!

  21. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Need to close a 35 point gap in my mini league.
    Mini league leader has Salah, TAA, Son and Kane. Doesn't have any chips left.

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    Fabianski
    TAA Keane Dallas
    Salah Mahrez Son Bale Foden
    Kane DCL
    Fabri Welbeck Mitchell Phillips

    0.5m itb.

    Went heavy on Spurs attack.
    No Antonio.
    Aguero too risky?

    Thanks.

        Don't have one.

          Rookie mistake

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            You think 35 is too much at this stage?

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

  22. Holmes

    Matic's ball shifting is pretty cool!

  23. WVA

    What a surprise, own Henderson Shaw Bruno Castagne Vardy Iheanacho.....

    1. The Knights Template

      Chin up

    2. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      U didn’t have any postponed players last week hopefully?

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What a surprise , you're moaning yet again and making out that you're unlucky. Grow up.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No need for personal insults mate. Don't need to make out I'm unlucky, just look at my history!

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You must admit that you're like a stuck record. A lot of people are in the same boat and have had plenty of injuries all season but don't bang on about it.

          1. WVA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            That because the bad luck keeps happening. I think everyone comes on here and talks about what's going well and what's going badly, it's an FPL forum.

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I give up. You carry on constantly moaning.

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

      If it makes you feel any better, this week I sold (for -8):

      Bamford
      Pereira
      Lowton

      And I benched Dallas

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Unlucky mate, do you have Greenwood, I couldn't get him as needed to shift Leno and Rudi to play BB, who would have known Ryan would get injured and Leno would play lol what are the chances!

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

          Haha typical! Yes I do have Greenwood so the Pereira move has paid dividends tbf

  24. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy blank again ffs

    1. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Subbed off?

  25. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Greenwood(c) hauling me up the ranks and hopefully stopping this being my worst FPL OR.

  26. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Glad I went with Greenwood (C) over Bruno but plenty of time left this GW for that to be turned around, so that goes the same for everyone cursing assets not playing today. Bruno could easily come on in the second half among others

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

      Yeah Bruno still has a game and maybe some part to play in the 2nd half. Greenwood only has some/all? of this 2nd half and some part in next games 2nd half

  27. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This is perfectly set up to be one of those gameweeks where you score 80 points on the first half and 19 points in the second half of it

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      True

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

    Casper the friendly goalkeeper WTF was that?!

    1. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Time delay?

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

        Didn’t watch the first half, can’t believe the comments here after that complete howler. My 10 year old plays a bit of GK, she could have saved that all day.

        1. BRFC1883
          • 10 Years
