Key Man United assets return but Greenwood and Mané benched at Old Trafford

Manchester United name a strong team to face Liverpool in their final match of Triple Gameweek 35.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) and Edinson Cavani (£8.0m) all return to the attack although Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) misses out on a third start in as many matches, named on the bench.

Paul Pogba (£7.6m) also comes back into the side and looks side to feature on the left-hand side of attacking midfield, which would see Rashford take up the right-hand position again.

Manchester United’s defence is also back to relative full-strength with Luke Shaw (£5.5m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.7m) in the full-back roles either side of Victor Lindelof (£4.8m) and Eric Bailly (£4.8m), the latter standing in for an injured Harry Maguire (£5.6m).

Meanwhile, despite scoring against Southampton on Saturday, Sadio Mané (£11.7m) drops to the Liverpool bench to make way for Roberto Firmino (£9.0m).

That means a fifth-successive Premier League start for the versatile Diogo Jota (£7.0m) who, today, looks set to play in Mané’s left-wing role on the opposite flank to Mohamed Salah (£12.7m).

With Ozan Kabak (£5.0m) and Ben Davies (£4.7m) still on the sidelines alongside Virgil van Dijk (£6.2m), Joel Matip (£5.4m) and Joe Gomez (£5.2m), Nathaniel Phillips (£4.1m) and Rhys Williams (£4.0m) are Liverpool’s centre-back partnership for the second match in a row.

Triple Gameweek 35 Line-ups

Manchester United XI: Henderson; Shaw, Bailly, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Fred; Pogba, B Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, N Phillips, R Williams, Alexander-Arnold; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Jota, Firmino, Salah.

      for?

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He's still in first half it seems. Bailly tackle.

  3. A. PRISE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Now I think Salah won't start against West Brom

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He can still haul from the bench so no point worrying about it.

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hmmm. I’ve removed the armband for the time being.

    Forster, Sanchez
    Shaw*, TAA, Rudiger*, Coufal, Holding*
    Salah, Jota, Bruno*, Greenwood*, Lingard
    Vydra, Kane, Iheanacho*

    1) Greenwood, Shaw > Mahrez, Dallas (-4)
    2) Greenwood, Shaw > Son, Alioski (-4)
    3) Bruno, Rudiger > Son, Digne (-4)
    4) Nacho, Bruno, Rudiger > DCL, Son, Digne/Dallas (-8) -- not thrilled, but contemplating

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      fwiw - Rudiger could be Shaw to free up more funds.

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I like 4

  5. drughi

    So either salah or jota benched against wba hmm

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why ??

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        mane rested today and firmino strong showing

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’m wondering whether to move Jota on this week instead of Bruno.

  6. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Rank 2k and 110 points green or red arrow?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Green

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Top 10k average is 111.19 so minor red, but depends on those around you really.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ok

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        What's your phone number? I wanna hangout you seem like a fun guy you answered my question perfectly

  7. Gazwaz80
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Klopp really doesn’t like taking Salah out does he, maybe it’s the sulking and throwing his toys out of his pram that upsets him....

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Or maybe it’s because he’s their best attacker and they have 10 really important minutes coming up? Just maybe

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Lol at me 😀

    2. HellasLEAF
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's true.

  8. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How much you reckon TAA will be priced at next season?

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      7.5

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      7

    3. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      7. But I’d consider him at 7.5

    4. HellasLEAF
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      7

  9. HellasLEAF
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I was gonna do Nacho to Bamford for last fixture run but now thinking Watkins to Bam as he didn't start and has equally poor fixtures as Nacho.

    Nacho or Watkins to Bammy

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Watkins starts

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yes I know, that is why he has been in my team for quite some time. I guess just rested then.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Suspended. Red card (2 yellows) in match before.

        2. Rassi
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          He was suspended.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Watkins didn't start because he was suspended.

      Palace are bad, Watkins could do okay. Grealish also back...

      Would lose Nacho. Wouldn't really want him till 38 and even then, others with better fixtures.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Shaw lucky not to get a YC

  11. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Literally any return...

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Watkins is knocking me out of LMS

  12. drughi
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best move here ?

    A. Shaw and Nacho > Dallas and Bamford
    B. Fernandes and Nacho > Son and Bamford

  13. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So, is Salah still essential the last 3 GWs? 😛

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You know how it is, everyone sells and he hauls

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Essential? No.

      But I’m keeping him.

      Forth top scoring player this season and awesome fixtures.

    3. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Quietest game for a while, hardly been involved
      Still keeping

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just saying 😆

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    With all I’d heard about Shaw’s creativity ... 3pts from 3 games is pretty crap

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Only played two

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Even still

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bad luck I guess...

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Still better than Maguire's 1 point xD

    4. djman102
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You were at least sensible enough not to (c) him. Maguire is about the only DGW defender worse off!

  15. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So frustrating being on a red arrow on FH

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How many pts?

      1. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        114. Tried to be a bit different by going Sigurdson over Greenwood and double Utd defence to push for top 10k but it's backfired spectacularly 😆

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      One of those weeks I suppose limited options and very obvious choices - not a good week to FH I would say.

  16. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Just saw Phillips got an assist that was unexpected. And AWB got one as well. Jayus.

    Transferring De Gea by mistake instead of Henderson - and having to start Martinez instead did not turn out that bad after all.

    I am 28 points off 400k running out of gameweeks to get some form of respectable finish.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is 400k respectable?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Here I am gutted of being like 30 pts off under 100k from like 4m OR in GW 15

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          You must be some player

        2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          That is some going in fairness. I threaded fpl water for ages until I copped on/accepted that Leeds were value.

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Foe me it would be considering I finished at 550k one year my worst year- when I kept captaining the wrong one between Sturridge and Suarez. And insisted that Ramsey was a fluke.

        This year I was convinced that big in midfield was the way to go.
        Bamford was a flash in the pan, and Brewster would prove good value!

  17. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Iheanacho Rudiger to Antonio Dallas (-4)?

    Gives me 10 next week.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Looks good. Antonio may be rising tonight.

        Chelsea v Leicester becomes interesting in both games.

        Winner of the FA Cup final takes all?
