In the final Premier League match of the day, Manchester United host West Ham United at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 16:15 GMT.

Erik ten Hag makes four changes from the side that beat FC Sheriff on Thursday, with Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Anthony Elanga and Marcus Rashford all starting.

That means Cristiano Ronaldo leads the line again, with Elanga and Rashford flanking him.

Victor Lindelof (illness), Tyrell Malacia, Antony (injury) and Alejandro Garnacho drop out.

As for West Ham, David Moyes makes just one change, as Craig Dawson comes in for Ben Johnson.

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Elanga, Fernandes, Rashford, Ronaldo

    Thoughts on this potential WC team?

    Sanchez (Pickford)
    Shaw Dawson Cresswell (Zouma Gabriel)
    KDB Foden Rashford Trossard (Xhaka)
    Haaland* Wilson DCL

    GW16: Wilson > Darwin (exact cash) & consider BB

    Also interested in Guaita, Gabriel, White, Cancelo, Estupinan, Dunk, Foden, Iwobi, Nelson (if Saka's out till after World Cup), other Man City players (incl Alvares if Haaland not fit), Mitoma, Ronaldo

      Dalot better than shaw

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don't want to risk a YC in the next game. Want that FT in GW16 for something else.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          You have 5 starting defenders and 3 is enough. Not sure though that 1 West Ham defender is good never mind three. Leicester and Palace more than capable of scoring against them. Who could you get for Trossard if you swapped Xhaka to Andreas? Almiron frees up cash for elsewhere. Get a fodder 2nd keeper. It's a good team but, as it's just 2 GW could potentially be better with more fodder like Andreas and Neco on the bench.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Plan would be to BB in GW16

            1. GreennRed
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I think BB is a trap and DGW might be better but fair enough. Now, 3 Hammers defenders? Could undo you, at least go 2. You've a nice few World Cup and fringe World Cup players there who'll be bursting themselves to impress their international managers in last 2 PL games so I hope you smash it Deulo.

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Cheers Greenred. I just switched to 3 hammers after watching how much attacking potential they seemed to have vs United, but as you can see, there are other players I'm interested in too. I'll dive a bit deeper this week.

    2. Flaps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You have 2 games left

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure what you're trying to tell me

  2. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is it mad to be thinking about salah to kdb - 4?

    Can't get to foden.

    Would like a city mid for the Fulham game.

    Also have saka to prob replace

    Something like salah and saka to kdb and rashford / almiron - 4

    Thanks

  3. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    No players today, have to say that went better than expected.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just Martinelli. Thought it was great at 1-0 but still happy. Andreas for Haaland.

  4. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    best option already hav 3 new

    1.play dalot avl (from bench)
    2. -4 mount ARS > trossard wol & play dalot avl
    3. -4 gross ARS > trossard wol + play dalot avl
    4.-4 toney > jesus che
    5.-4 toney > mitro mci
    6.-4 toney >firmino tot

    1. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Typo 3 gross wol

  5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    4th red arrow in 5 weeks, 4 flagged players amd 2-3 others I probably need to deal with. This year has been brutal

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Very same here every move I make is the wrong move. Gone from 700k to 1.6m in four weeks red after red!

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is my worst ever season. Last few game weeks have been good in terms of green arrows (went from 6 million to 3 million in about 5 game weeks) but they’re never big greens, just an improvement of 5% usually. This week I was lucky because I have had Wilson for a number of weeks and he smashed it (68 points total) but same thing. Green arrow but just a 7% jump. Captained Kane.

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Natedog - Agree - hopefully things will settle down after WC - just two GWs to go then chance to regroup

  6. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    62 points and a red arrow to 1.3m
    Think this has been the most painful season I've had in FPL so far, just can't move up

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I thought I had a good week with 54pts. Just checked rank... Wtf! 😆

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You can thank Erling Haaland for that

    3. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You’re not alone! It’s been a shocker from the start. Can’t buy a break of any sort unless it’s a bad one!

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Agree

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Red arrow with Wilson here...

    5. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sudden red arrow with Martineli and Whote today, had green after Salah(c), tough times!

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Jesus is a rank killer if your fwds underperform

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It's those 2 Nelson captainers that did it

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Be happy! I have had two horrible gw:s, GW ranks bigger than 8 million and OR dropped from inside 1 million to almost 3 million. Disaster.

  7. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haven't made a transfer in 6 weeks but somehow my dead team got 69pts 😆

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      76*

      Forgot Salah...

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah my team from before that blank GW would have been much better for my rank if I did no transfers since.

  8. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Trossard the best midfielder to get ? Already own foden & martnelli

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Almiron?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeh agree almiron but I want Wilson too so can’t hsve both as already own 2 Newcastle

  9. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Gonna be a tough week deciding what to do with Toney, Zaha, Mitro, Haaland and Foden, hoped for easier weeks before WC…

    1. Patron
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Tbf Toney is the only one that has to go for sure. Others are wait and see later in the week. I’m even looking to get Foden in.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Since everyone I sell hauls and everyone I buy to give armband gets injured, I just keep them (except Toney whom I sold for Callum).

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Some logic here indeed

  10. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    82 all out.

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          When a multiply my GW score by 2

        2. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Not bad. Have you decided whether you’re going to take it or not?

        3. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Same

        4. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          86 here dude, and I've seen at least one over 90. Move on.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            55 get in

          2. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Same here. Terrible OR but it's a good FPL week for once.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years

      1. Flynny

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      3 years, 5 months ago

      Keep

  12. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Out of all my latest buys, only Dalot has been a good one. The rest have all let me down.

  13. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pep: "I can see Man United are coming back"

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Lol he says that every season, they probably won’t get top 4.

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      That’s just his sense of humour.

  14. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Haaland being shipped out by the masses...

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      mad

  15. Lionac
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Which one you think is better pick for next two?

    A) Trosard
    B) Rashford

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

  16. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    112% drop in rank this gw lol

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      440% here

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ouch what you gone from/to

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          45 to 245k

          1. maglia rosa
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Ouch 🙁 keep the faith VDF….I jumped from just outside the top million to inside the top 250 k. Attack the remaining two gw and anything is truly possible.

            1. Van der Faart
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah its frustrating as I've managed to get into the top 100k 5 weeks ago and just made steady progress. 2FT going into next GW so hopefully can make a bit of climb again

  17. Tinslinger
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What’s the crack with Saka then?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I watched the match and from what I could see it looks like he will be out for GW15.

  18. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Maybe we get early team news again for the City lineup over the weekend. Sure would help with regards to Foden.

  19. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Saka+Toney+Iversen->Bowen+Wilson+Ward for -4?

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Na just do toney to wilson atm wait on saka news

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why Bowen when he has not scored since GW10...so many other options Robertson?

  20. K4pril
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Since everyone seems to start cracking... what a brutal season!

    I choose good capitan maybe twice this season, every other time Player I capped gave 2 or 4p when other Player in my team gave 20 lol.

    Transfers that seems amazing for example saka 2 weeks ago are just big flops giving me heading.

    Been 800k overall, 5th in ML

    55 in and I am 1.35 mil and 13 in ML
    Been 55p behind in ML bow 98.
    Loosing hope.... feeling to give up on in first time ever...

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Most brutal of FPL ever for me but in a strange way looking forward to this season challenge.

      2 GWs left & hope with WC out of the way / Liverpool & other certs with form get back to normal,. a lot of similar teams so trying to find the Gem which others do not have.

      1. K4pril
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I don't Look forward to it at all, players will be tored or injured after WC, fixtures are packed more then ever.

        I think we will have even more random.pkayers and odd team scoring High FPL points...

  21. Mario Balofail
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Dalot and Trippier. A pleasure to own them from GW1. I really wasn't expecting all those points. Thanks Diogo and Kieran...

  22. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha to a City mid worth a hit if we get team leak?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You may as well keep Zaha now.

      WHU then NFO. Think taking him out for a hit could come back to bite you.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He’ll blank against both for sure

      2. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        it sounds like 2 points and 2 points to me based off recent performances. Foden starting v Fulham could pay off the hit 3 times over

    2. Pukkipartyy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Depends if needing to cover injuries or suspension - if covered yes other I would say wait 2Gws to WC transfer period

  23. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Gone down 130K...what a $hitty week.

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My rank is up 85%, I'm sure there are people that have had there rank double too

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously, that's not bad, definitely not as bad as mine. 45k to 245k. And out of LMS.

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sure sucks.
        Currently 612K. Still 3rd in ML...so something to fight for.

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Misread your OP thought you said you were down to 130k. Only way is up dude

  24. Pukkipartyy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Toney, Zaha, Andreas -> Wilson, Rashford, Trossard (-4)?

  25. jcr1997
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitro, Zaha and Jonny > Rashford, Wilson, Dalot worth a -4?

  26. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best defender to start in gw15 alongside Cancelo and Trips?

    A - Dier
    B - Gomez
    C - Guehi
    D - bring in a non City/Newc defender for a -4

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      D. Coady?

  27. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Early thoughts on what to do here with zero cash? Awaiting saka news

    Tempted by salah and saka to kdb and almiron / rashford - 4

    Want that 3rd city spot for Fulham - and kdb captain option if no haaland...thanks

    Guaita
    Cancelo trippier zouma (guehi webster)

    Pickford
    Cancelo - Trippier - Neco
    Salah - Zaha - Trossard - Martinelli
    Haaland - Kane - WIlson

    (Iversen, Andreas, Bueno, Guehi)
