Kane on the bench as Shaw and Fernandes start for Man Utd

Two Premier League matches kick off at 2pm BST today – Southampton v Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes from the team that comfortably beat Leeds United in Gameweek 1, as Nemanja Matic (£4.5m) and Anthony Martial (£7.9m) replace Scott McTominay (£5.5m) and Daniel James (£6.0m) in the starting XI.

New signings Raphael Varane (£5.5m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.4m) are both named on the bench.

Ralph Hasenhüttl’s Southampton will be looking to bounce back from their opening-day loss at Everton, though they are without a win in 10 home league matches against The Red Devils.

New signing Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) leads the line, while £4.0m defender Tino Livramento gets another start at right-back ahead of Kyle Walker-Peters (£5.0m), who again has to settle for a place on the bench.

At Tottenham Hotspur, Nuno names an unchanged starting XI with Harry Kane (£12.4m) on the bench. That means another out-of-position start for Son Heung-min (£10.0m).

Of all the current Premier League sides that the South Korean international has played against, Wolves are the only team he hasn’t scored against. Could that be about to change?

Meanwhile, Bruno Lage takes charge of his first Wolves home game and makes just one change to his starting XI, with Nelson Semedo (£5.0m) replacing Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.0m).

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years

        Hindsight bias is one of the biggest traps of all.

    5. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      Another ManU clean sheet

    6. Bielsa's Bucket

      Ahhh Bruno, you silly tit

    7. Hazz

    8. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Is Shaw the most overrated asset in fpl?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        For letting in a goal which happens in football? I guess so then.

    9. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno such a little rat

    10. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      More and more players I want to get rid of making me want to hit that WC

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

      This Livramento lad is a bit of a baller. Don't see him losing his spot, out there looking like the best player on the pitch at times.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Looks nailed to me

    12. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Shaw still the most owned defender?

    13. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Lol Shaw unlucky not to have two assists in this half alone.

      1. Zalk
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Very!

        1. Goodfeathers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Crazy isn’t it. Has so much potential for attacking returns

      • BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Honest answer: without Euros would Shaw be so widely owned?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Ye

        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        1. Ibralicious
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Martial to Sancho and Lindelof to Varane needed in the 2nd half
