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.

      Yeah think so, similar here

  2. Ze_Austin
    5 years, 20 days ago

    I don't know how it is in other countries, but every other football advert in Nigeria now is a gambling ad, some of which are downright predatory on the poverty and hope here... And our government/regulatory bodies will do nothing about it. I always have to mute or change stations to avoid getting pissed off

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Similar here in the US for just about all sports.
      Was the same in Aus too.
      It’s getting worse it feels. It really sucks.

      1. soup natsi
        5 years, 20 days ago

        I thought sports betting was banned in the US?

      2. TOBY1
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Targeted ads now in the U.K even on sky satellite Tv - I get baby ads during football haha

    2. Touré De Force
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Only a matter of time before that's put to an end, like booze before it and tobacco before that.

    3. Don Rogers FC

      5 years, 20 days ago

      Same in the UK and what is doubly annoying is the inevitable patronising message advising people to ‘ gamble responsibly’ when they know full well that many people are not able to.

      1. Ze_Austin
        5 years, 20 days ago

        I mean, there's one where a guy got money for his kid's school fees from a bet. This is an advert

  3. RogDog_jimmy
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Which game should I watch?

    1. GROBARI
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Leeds watford

      1. syke63
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Gonna watch Sarr and Raphinha try to outscore each other.

    2. Ze_Austin
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Leeds. It's always Leeds

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Always Leeds is a strong point.
      First game having Raphinha this season too - might try split screen Leeds and Chelsea matches.

  4. Dacra
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Alonso for a hit 🙁

  7. Total Slotball

  10. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Shaw --> Cancelo? 0.8 ITB

    (or just wait until after IB and swallow the price rice...)

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Would wait till later in the IB, lots of room for surprises e.g. Raphinha situation
      Price predictions will be off because of IB

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 20 days ago

        *because of lots of WCs

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Wait and swallow for me. Shaw being back playing should stop him dropping too much. Plus WCs probably temper price changes a bit I reckon.

    3. F_Ivanovic
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Going to be a popular move. Only reason I'm going to wait is because of Trent situation... I might sell Trent for Cancelo if he's out and wait another week before selling Shaw

  11. sunzip14
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Chelsea conceded two goals this season. One from Jesus and another from Mohammad. Some say it is a punishment for selling Abraham. Today they play against Saints. Not looking good for Lukaku (C) 😛

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      very well played

    2. Zimo
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Noice

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      5 years, 20 days ago

      are you speaking in Tongues ?

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 20 days ago

      They can concede 6 goals if it means Lukaku gets a few himself as far as I care.

    5. GENERATION X
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Lukakus country are the red devils

    6. GoonerSteve
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Oh bravo

    7. Indpush
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Got rid of Moses too.

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 20 days ago

    I need to get rid of Williams now. Least I have Livra autosub.

    1. FPL Pillars
      5 years, 20 days ago

      I got sold for a hit, Rudiger welcome 😀

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Williams likely just rested

  13. Hotdogs for Tea
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Alonso & Christensen double Chelsea defender owners … ouch 🙁

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Was so close to that!

      Relieved to have gone double City and Rudiger in the end.
      (Until City rotates tomorrow)

    2. syke63
      5 years, 20 days ago

      James and Christensen here.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Saw this earlier - Mount too and no bench:
      https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/50263/event/7/

  14. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 20 days ago

    This rotation stuff is annoying. I remember back in the day with Aguero and Jesus, I got so annoyed that at one point I just had both upfront haha

    1. GROBARI
      5 years, 20 days ago

      That was start of legendary pep roulette

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Yes, I think having both only paid off once - when they beat Liverpool 5-0

  15. Konstaapeli
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Shaw + Ayling to Alonso + Rudiger for a hit. Not surprized.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Same but went Azpi over Alonso

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        5 years, 20 days ago

        Smart man

        1. Konstaapeli
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Yep. Might correct my mistake with WC this week.

  16. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 20 days ago

    I do not own any CHE defenders and feeling comfortable about it as well.

    Have Mendy though. Ha ha

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Think il just have Rudiger, Alonso to Cancelo this week for me!! Two prices rises on Alonso this week and adios!!!!

    2. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 20 days ago

      So you have one Chelsea defender.

    3. Fish up a tree
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Adios Alonso, Dias incoming

  17. have you seen cyan
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Livramento going to score, I feel it

    1. Bobby Digital
      5 years, 20 days ago

      0-0 would be welcomed

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        5 years, 20 days ago

        This!!! With Alonso Staying on the Bench so Livramento comes in

  18. GENERATION X
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Sky showing Alonso winner v SOT four years ago just to rub it in

  19. DannyDrinkVodka
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Massive chance for Lukaku captainers to halve their ranking………

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      5 years, 20 days ago

      and only around 80% eo

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Don’t have Lukaku but glad I switched to Antonio from Ronaldo last minute!!! Need a tasty brace !!!

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Don’t forget the Kane cappers 😉

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        5 years, 20 days ago

        We will welcome you to the Antonio party mate haha

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          5 years, 20 days ago

          Hehe

  20. puhd
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Greenwood out!

    Rest of Midfield:
    Salah Sarr Raphina Bissouma

    A- Gallagher
    B- Townsend
    C- Grealish

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Is it evil wanting Lukaku to blank with (A)ntonio and Livra 1st bench for Williams?

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      5 years, 20 days ago

      🙄

    2. TheBiffas
      5 years, 20 days ago

      nope. i went vardy (c)

  22. ‘Tis the Season
    5 years, 20 days ago

    KRAP - KEEP RAFA AT POOL was what united used to say. he was terrible in his final days at Liverpool. We need an acronym for OLE AT UNITED. Better for Liverpool if he stays 🙂 kudos for the best one!!

  23. Pep's Money Laundry
    5 years, 20 days ago

    All I want now is a saints goal, preferably with Livramento involved who will come for Alonso

    1. Thanos
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Literally anyone please score!

    2. Paqueta Rice
      5 years, 20 days ago

      0-0 Rudiger and Livramento 3baps each?

  24. have you seen cyan
    5 years, 20 days ago

    as part of a -8 one of my rivals got in Christensen and Alonso 😀

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      5 years, 20 days ago

      What a very difficult problem he has to fix for GW8.

    2. have you seen cyan
      5 years, 20 days ago

      yea he will panic and take alonso out i guess

  25. GROBARI
    5 years, 20 days ago

    0-1 with lukaku missing penalty will be fine

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Mount, Havertz and Ziyech all benched. Why is Tuchel still so negative when they now have Lukaku? I find it incredible. Lukaku like Ronaldo is at risk of being a bad option as I dont see who can provide him with service with these team selections. It was the same last week against City.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Super surprised about Mount - he was talking him up too.

  27. Von Lipwig
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Traore > Gray? Yey or nay?

    1. Harry the Hack
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Traore -> anyone yey

  28. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 20 days ago

    This the season of the budget midfielders!!!

    1. Gross Blank Point
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Was saying that earlier. If Salah wasn't looking so much like having a monster season I'd have all 5 at £6.5 million and under, and be quite happy with it!

  29. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Massive opportunity for Kane cappers now, especially if Lukaku blanks

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Got myself a Son - hope he gets involved a bit too.

    2. Flair
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Huge rank rise potential for all three of them.

    3. Harry the Hack
      5 years, 20 days ago

      why are you using plural?
      swallow your pride, admit Kane is a cancer on the team and Nuno plays too defensively, and get yourself back in the game.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 20 days ago

        He will change his tactics or lose his job

        1. Harry the Hack
          5 years, 20 days ago

          so get Kane back in then

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            5 years, 20 days ago

            I never sold him

            1. Harry the Hack
              5 years, 20 days ago

              yes i know, im saying sell him and get him back in when tactics change

              1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
                5 years, 20 days ago

                I will if Lukaku fires today

    4. Fish up a tree
      5 years, 20 days ago

      Will be tough against Villa, no mugs

  30. RogDog_jimmy
    5 years, 20 days ago

    Waking up at 80mins into the Man U game to a Ronaldo 1pt cameo was pretty great.
