There are eight Premier League matches taking place on a busy Saturday for Fantasy managers.

The first of them is Manchester United v Everton, which kicks off at 12.30pm BST.

There are no seismic shocks with the team news, with Luke Shaw‘s injury-enforced absence pre-advertised.

Tyrell Malacia takes the left-back’s place in one of three changes that Erik ten Hag has made from the midweek win over Brentford.

The other two alterations are also at the back, with Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in for the benched Raphael Varane and Diogo Dalot.

Sean Dyche tends to not make too many changes when performances and results are going reasonably well, and indeed his only tweak today is an enforced one.

Abdoulaye Doucoure begins a three-match ban, with his place in the Everton side taken by Ellis Simms.

GAMEWEEK 30 LINE-UPS

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Martinez, Malacia, McTominay, Fernandes, Antony, Sabitzer, Sancho, Rashford.

    I have a feeling going to regret benching March over bruno

    Even though Brighton are scoring well whilst utd are not I couldn't bring myself to bench bruno

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Yep same for Mac Allister

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      He's been playing really well tbh, not sure what more he can have done so far especially considering the position he's playing in

  2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Rashford has had so many chances. Crap today. Captain fail

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      40 minutes left

  3. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Rashford tackled another 2 times

  4. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Rashford is annoying me. Seems like “one of those games”

  5. Paddyfrancis92
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    This is painful viewing as a Bruno bencher!

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Yeah Rashfords not scoring today.

  7. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Frustrating as a Rash capper. Surely something is coming our way right?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      YC at this rate

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Early kickoff curse innit

  8. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Everton defending is like the Keystone Cops meets Billy Smart's Circus

  9. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    rashford fail

  10. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Early K.O curse is real.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Is crazy how it seems to work every time

    2. Ivan Toney Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Would love to see some data on it, wonder if it's because there's less time for anticipation to build and be really up for it.

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        This is a good point, I reckon it has a major effect on things

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        I don't think its that. Think it might have something to do with disrupting your body's routines by loading up on pasta for breakfast...? That's the most reasonable suggestion I've seen anyway.

        1. Ivan Toney Soprano
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          Yeah could be that, out of routine in a few ways probably.

      3. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        chicken pasta at 7 am might not help!

  11. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Did not captain Rashford. Do I hope for a goal or nothing ?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nothing

    2. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      same here and i want a YC and no return. Plus no United CS 😀

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Nothing. I’m hoping he gets booked and that’s all haha

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      We all know for sure he’s going to score in this match too

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        FPL site has him having played only 45 mins.

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Martial coming on

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years

      Yikes

    2. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Hopefully for sancho/Antony

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Anthony on
      Antony off

    4. The Knights Template

      Who?

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Just some randomer without a man-bun. Should be of no concern to you.

  13. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Rashford gone left side

  14. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Antony off on 59:59

    1. Blueberg
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Will the minute of extra time in the first half carry him over 60 minutes played??

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Doesn’t it have to be 61 mins to get A cs? Wasn’t it A case earlier this season where 60. Minute wasn’t enough for A cs?

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      yep

      Didn't make it

  15. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Patterson in to get the equalizer

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Anthony is terrible

  17. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Tough blow for Anthony's owner. Missed 60 mins by 2 seconds!

  18. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 12 days ago

    Why can't anyone spell Antonys name right

    1. ididnt
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Antony’s

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Can't even spell "I didn't" correctly in your own name. Don't correct me 😆

    2. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Antony’s*

  19. Pariße

    #NoHaaland trending on Twitter…

    But it’s only fantasy teams without Haaland.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      ?

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        Twitter users use hashtags to improve the reach of their posts.

        The term #NoHaaland here could mean various things including benchin or an injury, but when you actually see why the hashtag is popular, it’s merely screenshots of fantasy teams that do not have Haaland in their teams.

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    McTom should have got a YC there

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Definitely!

    2. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Yep

      Ref clearly allergic to yellows though having seen some of Everton’s tackles today

  22. Dušan Citizen

    Man Utd is just a group of punchable faces, dumb and bad people.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 days ago

      Lol @ ‘bad people’

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 12 days ago

        It doesn't seem like that for you on first glance?

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 12 days ago

          I wouldn’t know them personally unfortunately

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years

      I know it sounds really unlikely, but are you a Man City fan by any chance?

    Bruno could have taken that on his chest and hit a half volley there...

    Loads of time.
