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.

GAMEWEEK 3 LINE-UPS

Wolves XI: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Marcal, Trincao, Traore, Jimenez

Subs: Gibbs-White, Cundle, Podence, Ait-Nouri, Boly, Silva, Ruddy, Hoever, Dendoncker

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, Pogba, James, Fernandes, Sancho, Greenwood

Subs: Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, Heaton, Martial, Lingard, Cavani, Mata, van de Beek

    Whose making early transfers to catch some price changes and whose waiting until after internationals for more informed team news.

    Not sure which one has the biggest upside

    1. Pratik
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      No right answer. Gotten lucky doing them early most times and then burnt a few odd times.

      Which transfers are you thinking?

      1. The Parrot
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        DCL and Jota in for Mahrez and Ings...

        Think the general wisdom is too wait. Happily It would take some serious rises to price me out so should be good to wait for atleast a week I think

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      The 2nd.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Early transfer but will use WC if all goes wrong

    4. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      2nd by far.

    5. We Go Again
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Luckily DCL ain't rising and I can eat one drop from Ings so I have no need to chase price changes

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Already used my 2FT’s, will use a -4 to get Ronaldo too once his price is confirmed

      1. The Parrot
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Who'd you go for?

        A yes. Thanks

    Under Solskjear, United are very bad in more than half of their away games and they still manage to win. Kinda impressive actually

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      hallmark of a champion 😉

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Champion of what? Haven't seen United winning anything.

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 7 days ago

          Leicester didnt win anything until they did 😉

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 days ago

            Don't compare Ole with Dilly-ding Dilly-dong!

    2. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Biggest away record lad

    3. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      28 consecutive away games undefeated - never been done in the PL.

    4. OLEgend
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Lol

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Most of them with no fans, nowhere near as good as arsenal's record. Still great though

    6. OLEgend
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      We were actually poor in home games and better away

    7. krzys
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      I'm talking only about how they play. The results are amazing, no doubt

  3. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Think I need to try keep Greenwood on WC now

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Not once Ronaldo has been added

    2. Vlekz
      5 years, 7 days ago

      I don't see how he fits in with Ronaldo playing too.

      1. liner
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        On the side maybe? Like this time when he scored goal? How he can drop him when Greenwood is best player so far beside Pogba...? Greenwood -Ronaldo - Sancho
        front 3

  4. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Cannot wait to ditch Bruno

  5. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Think my WC will include both Mason and Ronaldo.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Yep same.

  6. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    3 - Varane (36)
    2 - Maguire, de Gea (29)

    Wan-Bissaka (28)
    Greenwood (24)
    Shaw (21)

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Booooooo

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      What?

  7. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    I wish we could know with any certainty which City players (moreso mids/fwd) would play 80% or so of games… their squad is just immense

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      UCL coming too

      Too much rotation to handle

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      I honestly don't think I will get Man City players all season unless I have a luxury transfer.

  8. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    They're just sweeping the replay we need to see under the rug 😆

  9. Flair
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Pain. Any chance of that being an OG?

    1. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      No chance

    2. Speedu
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Looked like og

  10. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Choosing Pogba over Greenwood went well 🙁

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Who to sell Barnes for ? Not a clue 🙂

    1. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Downgrade him to fit in Lukaku

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Would require a hit and a mid who cost about 3.5 🙂

    2. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Ferran

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years

        Cheers

    3. Pratik
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Raphina/Traore look like good choices to me.

      1. Pratik
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        We don’t have to get a player who has scored points this week 🙂

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Cheers raphina has a tough gw4 though

        1. jack88
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 7 days ago

          Raph for long term, so you can leave him for few weeks. He is only 6.5

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 7 days ago

            Cheers. What about short time punt ? Sorry I'm demanding 🙂

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Traore

  12. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    United now the longest unbeaten run of Prem away games... All teams they passed recently won the title.

    With the backing Ole has from his great owners he has to win it now too.

    1. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Watch us sign Neves

    2. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      They will have to wait though.

    3. Transient Anus
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Great owners. Wow

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      But it's still Ole! Will win nothing.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Ha ha

  13. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    This is probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever typed, but wonder if Traore can be moulded into a Kante - his pace alone would be such a huge advantage in there

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      He has no idea what he’s doing most of the time and not sure if he can tackle, just spit balling here 😆

    2. kempc23
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      You dont need that much pace to play there. You need game intelligence and good close control. Kante has this in spades, Traore has neither!

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah doubt he could do it but Acceleration and agility is huge in that position, as is ball carrying, all of which he has. It’s not my greatest shout but I’d like to see it

    3. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      He just needs a coach to teach him.the basics, and a proper coaching on how to score goals.

  14. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    So pretty much everyone I sold on WC has now scored - Greenwood, Gundo, Toney, Havertz. Always the way.

    1. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      GW3 is always the week where players sold score points

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Haha wish that would apply to my team 🙂

      2. tricpic
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Yep. I’m still happy with my WC team going forward - it’s more solid; Gundo always going to be unreliable, Greenwood won’t always start, Dennis a cheaper enabler than Toney etc. All good logical decisions.

      3. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        So true 😛

      4. grumpyman
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Yep - wildcarded into a 27 pointer last year in GW3.

      5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Why is that though? It’s so bizarre

    2. slasken
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      I love when the guys holding transfers and WC get the pay off 🙂

    3. Bob_the_builder
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      It can be a fickle game. You have to anticipate where the points will be rather than where they are at the moment and hope that you are right. It's a long way to go so wouldn't be too disheartened at this stage.

      1. tricpic
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah I know - see above - much happier with the new setup going forward

    4. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Last year my GW 3 wildcard scored 34 points and my pre wildcard team 91…

  15. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Cheers, Mason. What a player!

  16. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Teams which will be relegated

    Wolves, Arsenal and???

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Not Wolves 🙂

    2. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Norwich, Watford, Southampton

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      Norwich

  17. rick ding whoop

  18. Random Name
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Man Utd can't dodgy decision their way to a title in 2022 those days are long gone. Keep putting in performances like this and there's no chance they compete with City and Chelsea

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Don't think we can put United in the same sentence as Chelsea and City.

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        pretty sure you just did

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 10 Years

          You know what I mean.

  19. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years

    Greenwood could still prove the best value MU pick. Lots of hype over Ronaldo. He's now 36.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Age doesn't matter at all for guys like ronaldo

  20. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Looked like it could've been hitting the post, surely off target?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Inside of post.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        isn't hitting the inside of the post still hitting the post, which is still considered off target?

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Really can't stand United and their fans. Slabhead, Bruno, Pogba, Cavani and now Ronaldo. Disgusting club.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Don’t worry, they won’t be winning anything soon

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Vivaaaa Ronaldoooooo!

  22. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Why isn’t that an own goal in FPL? Genuine question.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Shot on target

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Didn’t look it to me at the time or the replay, not that close either... He was level with 6 yard box when he hit it, at that angle it would be a good few yards wide before he touched it. Will wait for another angle I guess.

  23. Von Lipwig
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Surely Ole won't drop Greenwood now, even with Ronaldo coming in

  24. grumpyman
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    66 points and still a red arrow. Sadness.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Wow what rank are you?

      1. grumpyman
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Was 20k, now 24k

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      61 here. -92.22% rank change

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Must have a good rank

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      63 here.
      Going to be a red from 8,750 > 16,350 or so.

      Not upset about that at all given 2 fts to come, no chips used, and 0.5 itb.

    5. Reiko
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      71 points here and still a Red Arrow

  25. jack88
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    So
    sancho, ronaldo, greenwood
    Bruno

    It is then?

  26. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    That is one decision decision I am delighted with gw1 saw value in Greenwood > Bruno. went Brunoless. The fact that Ronaldo will now take pens it has gone beyond my expectations.

  27. _Ninja_
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Pogba yc

    1. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      What a disappointment he has been. Can just blame oneself for knee-jerk transfer

  28. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    United have been watching City...

  29. LIARS POKER
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    In order to fund Ings -> DCL which is the better option?

    A) White- > Duffy/Williams
    B) Digne -> Dier/Tangagnga/Coufal

  30. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Liking the look of this, basically releasing funds in defense to improve midfield:

    Sanchez
    Trent | Duffy | Livramento
    Salah | Son | Greenwood | Torres | Benrahma
    Kane | Antonio

    Steele | Amartey | Williams | Scarlett

    0.2ITB

    Thoughts?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Amartey will be benched, so you'll only have Williams as a playing sub
