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

    So with CR7 coming to utd surely that puts Bruno on penalties under threat?

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

      Wow, no one has posted anything like this in the last 4 days.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Haven't been on in days.

        Sorry pal

    2. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Bruno is off pens for sure
      (But obviously that’s not been confirmed by anyone at the club)

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        OK thanks

    3. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      I really feel like Bruno should keep them, he has a better conversion rate - but ronny will probably end up getting them

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah would have thought so

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

    As a MU fan, I'm not surprised at all that they are struggling against Wolves. Nothing new that

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Wolves seem to favour the big teams, always up their game.

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Also this, look what they have done to City a couple of times.

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

          Suits them so well

  3. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Oooh, Saiss.

    That was nice.

  4. thegaffer82
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    It’s not a case of ‘if’ Wolves will score, it’s simply a case of ‘when’

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

      No, it's definitely IF. They lack a finish at the moment. Have done in last 2 Prem games too.

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

        Can confirm ice watched their games. So dominant everywhere but opponents box

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

      No it’s actually if at this point

    3. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Fred will do his best to gift them a goal I’m sure!

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

    Wolves unlucky not to be ahead.

  6. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Wish Saiss was 4.5 would be a no brained for me, trying to decide if coady should be drafted in now

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      *brainer

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

      I’m looking at marcel personally

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Is he nailed? Haven’t looked into the stats on him yet will have a glance later

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

          Yeah he seems very nailed. Not very attacking but he backs up Traore pretty well on the left

          1. Chilli Heatwave
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 days ago

            Cheers, will keep an eye on him.

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Pogba non existent as usual in Central midfield

    Put him back on the left where he doesn't have to work, swap Sancho over to the right, and sub Dan James for matic to go in & try to settle that Fred maniac down a bit

    Sooner mctominays back the better

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

      The fact that pogba can’t play midfield anymore is actually a real worry now

      1. thegaffer82
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Amen to that.

        It’s bizarre, because he has all the attributes to be a top box-to-box CM.
        He lacks the discipline, intelligence & positioning to pull it off though

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

          So in summary, he doesnt have the attributes for it

          1. thegaffer82
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 7 days ago

            Mental attributes yes. Physical attributes - he very much has the tools to do the job

  8. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Is Pogba abox to box mid or simply disinterested in this set up? Seems irritated that AWB doesnt have world class vision

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Pogba shouldn't be a CM in a pairing, specially if it is with Fred.

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

      He’s very good in a midfield 3, but can’t handle the work rate for a double pivot

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

        Isnt this midfield 3? Just with Bruno doing absolutely no defending

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

      Same now as when they paid 100m he's never been a double pivot mid

  9. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Bruno down

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Uh oh

  10. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Bruno coming off?

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

      no

  11. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Bruno literally begging for a penalty

    Pathetic

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

      He was used to getting those last year 😉

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

      faking injury to try and get a penalty, despite it being a graze of his shin pad.
      Poor Penandes

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Who wears a shinpad in their boot?

  12. JONALDINHO
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Can’t believe some people actually think this United side will compete with City, Liverpool and Chelsea for the title

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

      Why are you throwing Liverpool in there? One injury and they're screwed.

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

        Who gets injured and they’re screwed?

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

          If Salah gets injured the team is done.

          AFCON going to get messy in January if someone isn't signed soon.

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

            Alisson
            Trent Matip VVD Robertson
            Henderson Fabinho Thiago
            Mane Firmino Jota

            Under Klopp this team challenges. This whole myth that 1 injury and they’re done isn’t true. If multiple players in 1 position are injured like last year they’ll obviously struggle like any team would

          2. JONALDINHO
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 days ago

            By the way they only miss 2 games due to AFCON

        2. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 days ago

          VVD, if last season is an indication

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

            They were still top of the league for ages when he was injured. They only dropped down when Matip and Gomez were injured too

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

        Liverpool will be there, there about a. Chelsea and City are the real contenders however

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Liverpool are definitely in the race

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Wolves dominating so far. Utd poor tbh

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

        Yet you fancy that one United goal will win this.

    4. Isco Disco
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      1 injury to Fabinho or Mane or VVD and Liverpool will find it hard to win the easy games.
      Did you forget how Pool lost 6 consecutive home games last season coz of injuries to few first team players

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

        They lost those games because they were missing every single first team centre back. It’s like taking Dias, Laporte, Stones from City. They’d be terrible. They can easily challenge without 1 of the players you mentioned. If all 3 were injured it would affect them but that’s the same with any team

  13. Fish up a tree
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Barcelona must have some team if they let this Trincao fella go out on loan!

    Think we need to get on Wolves as their fixtures look the dogs

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

      Na Barca were desperately selling players trying to clear their salary. The club is a joke. They've given wolces a cut price permanent fee on him. He wasnt liked ay Barca anyway

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      He looks the business alright.

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

    Greenwood on right ck

  15. Zalk
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Why are utd waiting for Varane to play the ball up the field like Lindelof does? They have two non ball-playing defenders now.

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

      Slab is very good on the ball.

      1. Zalk
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        right...

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

      Maguire is a great ball playing cb

      1. Zalk
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Why has Lindelof always been the one with the ball then? And now Varane is the one on the ball?

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

      Maguire, for his faults, is great at ball playing and bringing it out form the back

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

    Trincao is a beautiful dribbler

    1. ANGRY PERSON
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      But lacks the end product like traore

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

    Bruno fine

  18. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Sancho currently looking worse than Bebe

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      😀

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

      That's impossible.

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

      Blasphemy

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Money well spent

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 days ago

      I keep telling people how crap bundesliga is and they don't listen

  19. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    If United drop points here too they might have to start Ronaldo GW4 regardless

  20. @persecuted_by_mods
    5 years, 7 days ago

    This is what happens when you start a premier league game with 3 players who cant pass a football (Fred, AWB, James)

  21. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Is Torres a realistic option? Had wanted to bring in to start the season but as always feared rotation risk. But he has started all 3 matches up front and played 90 twice.

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

      Should start the next one.

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

      I'm considering him, good price and with KDB out.

  22. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Sancho completely ineffective again so far.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Reminder that Kagawa and Mikhtaryan were both player of the year in bundesliga

  23. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Is Jimi on the same level as DCL and Ings anymore?

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

      Great stats, wolves just unlucky to not have a goal or two in their last 2 matches. And it was against strong teams

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        he does have pens right, thats something over Ings at least. Just hard to see him in the same bracket as those two, I dont think anyone can pick Jimi over DCL

        Jimis price is good tho

  24. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    The worse United get today, the more sure I am that I will be bringing in Ronaldo for some sweet revenge against Newcastle. Predicting carnage

  25. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Get Sancho to the Bencho. Lingard way better

    1. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      When he plays for West Ham perhaps!
      Jesse has had plenty of chances, but wasn’t good enough

  26. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Thought Utd would come out guns blazing for this one...

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

    At this rate we'll be thinking of Pogba as a winger and not a midfielder

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Why didn't Ole play the same setup he played in GW1?

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Pogba should be in Bruno's position, he is the better player

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 days ago

        Lol ok mate

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

    Bruno goal offside

  29. shiraz
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    With the way wolves have been playing this 3 gw, great stats and great upcoming fixture. I am keeping tabs on jose sa, saiss, traore, jimmy and hee chan

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 days ago

      Don’t think there’s any point delaying

  30. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 days ago

    Bernandes GOAL. Offside
