Match 13 of 30 over this busy festive period sees Wolverhampton Wanderers play host to Manchester United.

This is new Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui’s first Premier League game in charge at Molineux, where the action gets underway at 12:30 GMT.

It’s one change apiece for the two teams in the West Midlands, and Erik ten Hag’s sole alteration is a seismic one.

The 32.9%-owned Marcus Rashford is only among the substitutes this lunchtime, with his place in the starting XI taken by Alejandro Garnacho.

This is no seasonal rest for Rashford – ten Hag has benched him for an unspecified misdemeanour.

“Internal disciplinary.” – Erik ten Hag two-word explanation for Marcus Rashford’s benching

Julen Lopetegui’s one change from the side that defeated Everton sees Matheus Nunes replace Joe Hodge in central midfield.

That means another start for £3.9m-rated FPL defender Hugo Bueno, who once again sees off the challenge of Rayan Ait-Nouri at left-back.

    perfect outcome as a bueno and rashford owner

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno assist taking a while to add - reckon he’ll be up in there in the BAPS

    1. EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It's been given to Salah

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This

  3. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Need another save Dave

  4. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    And just realised no walker either.

    Just a total **** show

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

    No assist

    1. EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I didn't get mine for Darwin and Kulu don't see why Bruno should have one

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I didn’t get mine for Darwin or Kulu and now I’ve to not get one for Bruno?

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why?

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why not? Needs to be added. Otherwise they can just bin this game

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

        Given now, phew

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe the ricochet in rashys dribble?

  6. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Cancelo benched again? Wow no longer nailed

  7. k2ashley
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Why no Bruno assist ?

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

      Rashford might have lost then won the ball before shooting

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Are you watching the game? Assist can’t be clearer

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

          Are you watching it? Rashford ran into a couple of players before shooting, it's been given now but if he lost control then took it back then it might have been not given

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I dont agree. City were playing much better with foden in the side

  8. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would really like Bueno's 6 points now. Cancelo would have to not come on - I don't have high hopes.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Reckon Cancelo can easily outscore that if he comes on

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I don't. He scored 1 goal last season...

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Was thinking more assists/BAPS

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I have Kehrer in starting 11, Perroud 2nd sub and Bueno 3rd.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’d need both Cancelo and Wilson not to come on… can’t see either happening

    4. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would love a Cancelo 1 pointer.

  9. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Martial any good?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Just come off.

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m doing him to mitro next gw, martial only really has 1 decent fixture left

    4. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He's out of my team in GW 19 for Mitro

  10. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Cancelo... this is really weird

  11. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno assist given

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      About time yay

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      \o/

  12. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Now sub off martial and play rashford as striker

  13. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ederson, KDB and Haaland are the only City assets anyone should consider. Anyone else is a lottery

  14. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Neves is some baller

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

      Hardy lad too.

  15. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    If I didnt have Darwin I would have had Cancelo
    Darwin essential

  16. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years

  20. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Foden should leave City. Won't progress there playing 20 games per year.

  21. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

  23. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What's the reason for Foden being benched, other than to give Grealish some minutes?

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    OMG rashford.

  25. Il Capitano
