Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) has been left out of the Manchester United starting XI by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the opening Premier League match of Gameweek 7.

The most-owned forward in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is joined by Paul Pogba (£7.8m) on the home bench, with the United boss making three changes from the side that lost to Aston Villa last weekend.

The injured Harry Maguire (£5.4m) is the other player to make way.

“Wednesday night was a big effort, big emotional and physical output, so we needed to freshen it up when it’s an early kick-off.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on his team selection

Edinson Cavani (£8.4m), Anthony Martial (£7.6m) and Victor Lindelof (£4.8m) are the three players who didn’t start in Gameweek 6 who make the line-up today.

Luke Shaw (£5.4m) is fit to start, meanwhile, having been a doubt for this game because of illness and injury.

Shaw was the most-sold player of Gameweek 7, with just under one million Fantasy managers offloading him.

The Everton team news is much more straightforward: head coach Rafael Benitez makes one change from last weekend’s 2-0 win over Norwich City, with youngster Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) starting in place of the injured Alex Iwobi (£5.9m).

GAMEWEEK 7 LINE-UPS

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Varane, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Fernandes, Greenwood, Martial, Cavani.

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Pogba, Ronaldo, Lingard, Sancho, Telles, Matic, van de Beek.

Everton XI: Pickford, Godfrey, Keane, Mina, Digne, Doucoure, Allan, Gordon, Gray, Townsend, Rondon.

Subs: Begovic, Lonergan, Kenny, Holgate, Gbamin, Davies, Branthwaite, Whitaker, Dobbin.

    Just can't stop watching Townsend's celebration. You'd have never seen that under SAF they've become a banter club since he left

    1. MITHRRANDIRR
      5 years, 20 days ago

      In house ref Howard Webb would have been a true soldier in a day like this.

  7. Mr. O'Connell

    Christensen and James. Let's do this.

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Ronnie(c) benched. New recruit Mount benched. Got all the signs of one of those gameweeks!

  10. Arisen
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Who will score more points for all season?
    a) Townsend
    2) Soucek

    Wonder if Chelsea are going to a back 4 with Chalobah in midfield similar to the end of the Juve game.
    Probably not

  12. Sun Jihai

    Anyone worry about Lukaku not getting the service with no Mount? Doesn't look the best XI. Maybe should have stuck to the inform Antonio for armband in hindsight!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Might be better

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I think chilwell can bring some good creativity. Much more creative than Alonso imo, who’s a bigger goal threat

    3. CostaCoffee
      5 years, 20 days ago

      RLC and particularly Hudson Odoi should definitely offer better creativity than the last 2 games.
      Still not ideal having no Mount but hopefully he can get minutes off the bench

    Go Josh Brownhill and save my GW

    People were so happy when Alonso got subbed vs Juve...

    1. CostaCoffee
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Subbed off cause he was playing awfully not because he was being rested. It was clear to anyone watching at least

    2. Feanor
      5 years, 20 days ago
