Varane and Sancho start as Man Utd visit Wolves in Gameweek 3

Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) most popular player Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m) starts as Manchester United visit Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final match of Gameweek 3.

For the home team, Bruno Lage sticks with the same XI that featured against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

That means another start for Adama Traore (£6.0m), who has taken 10 shots so far this season without scoring.

Long-term injury victims Jonny (£4.5m) and Pedro Neto (£6.5m) remain sidelined, but Willy Boly (£4.9m) and Daniel Podence (£5.5m) have returned as substitutes.

As for Man Utd, Raphael Varane (£5.5m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.3m) both start as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes three changes, with Daniel James (£6.0m) returning as Victor Lindelof (£5.0m), Nemanja Matic (£4.5m) and Anthony Martial (£7.8m) drop out.

As a result, Paul Pogba (£7.7m) could revert to a deeper midfield role alongside Fred (£5.0m).

Dean Henderson (£4.9m), Alex Telles (£5.0m), Scott McTominay (£5.5m)  and Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) are all absent, as expected.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 16.30 BST.

    If on a WC would you

    A) Salah, DCL
    B) Jota, Ronaldo

    Close one in my eyes, allows you to have Antonio and Lukaku still by having one of these options

      A.

      A.

      But i would go for Ronaldo and Salah instead of lukaku.

      My draft has Ronaldo (12.5), Salah, Lukaku and Antonio.

      No TAA mind, which will be a kick in the Jacobs.

    Ings —> DCL or Bamford

      DCL for Everton’s great fixture run, then switch later.

    Slow transfer week. Everyone waiting for Ronaldo

    Straight swap of Benrahma to Torres a good move before price rises? Thinking tha because he might be out of action due to international duty it could work well...

    Any news yet as to Ronaldo’s price on the FPL fantasy game?

  6. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

    Would you do Bruno and Toney -> Benrahma and Ronaldo (12.5) -4?

    1. Kalix

      Not even sure I'd do it for no hit

  7. Sparkys Barmy Army

    Worth doing Tsimi + Bissouma > Williams + Gray for exact cash now before any price rises/drops? Otherwise I'll be left starting one of White or Bissouma next GW?

      Why would you not want to start White vs. Norwich?
