Manchester United v Bournemouth rounds off Gameweek 16 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

The Cherries have won 3-0 in each of their last two visits to Old Trafford, with Andoni Iraola unbeaten in four fixtures against United across all venues.

Antoine Semenyo, in the Bournemouth XI tonight as expected, scored both home and away against the Red Devils last season.

Kick-off in this latest meeting between the two clubs is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

The big team news is that Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo are available to play, and start, for United this evening.

They head off to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Cameroon and the Ivory Coast, respectively, after tonight’s game. There had been a little bit of doubt that they’d feature against the Cherries in the lead-up to Gameweek 16.

Noussair Mazraoui is, however, unavailable. His Morocco side contests the AFCON opener on December 21, so his departure has been hastened.

Leny Yoro starts in his place but that’s it for changes from the side that won 4-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Monday.

Benjamin Sesko has overcome a knee injury and a bout of food poisoning to make the matchday squad for the first time in over a month. He’s among the substitutes.

As for the visitors, Marcos Senesi is fit to start after a minor injury scare.

Bournemouth’s one and only alteration from Gameweek 16 comes in midfield: Tyler Adams, back from suspension, is in for the benched Alex Scott.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Yoro, Heaven, Shaw, Amad Diallo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Mount.

Subs: Bayindir, Martinez, Zirkzee, Malacia, Dorgu, Ugarte, Mainoo, Sesko, Fredricson.

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Adams, Jimenez, Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo, Evanilson.

Subs: Dennis, Araujo, Soler, Brooks, Scott, Adli, Kroupi, Hill, Unal.

  4. Brosstan

    Unbelievable from Dalot. What a plonker, should be subbed off and given a stint at the reserves.

  5. Stranger Mings

          • 2 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          Don't think he's worth a -4 imo

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            6 months, 19 days ago

            Mmm tricky as want to sell.eze as everton plus unsure starts

  6. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Maybe should have bought some Cherries for Burnley instead of getting Ekitike lol

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Now you come to mention it……

    2. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Thinking the same here

  7. Hooky
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Yoro positioning is all over the place

  8. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Semenyo not getting any bonus

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Needs another return (which looks likely tbf)

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    tavernier does tick over. i get why hes maybe not he best pick but yeah

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      *i kinda like him in this deep role with defcon chances and still some goal threat. remember against liverpool first gw he was good there. if adams is out he might be nailed at least for time being

    2. Bod
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Shhh don’t tell anyone

  10. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Bruno winning goal needed now

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      It’s coming

  11. Bigbars
    • 15 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Is it me or does Bruno not like defending, he seems to do this pretend defensive move a lot, shoulder the player instead of head the ball and id like to see the stats on the number of times he give s the ball away

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      He’s currently on 7 def cons though

      1. Bigbars
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        lucky, I have him in my team, but even I can see, he gives the ball away more than he retrieves it. Then doesnt amend his mistakes, just moans at others,

  12. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Amorim must be wondering why he bothers

  13. brianutd-why always we? 20

    How clever that was from Bruno.

    Lost the ball.to force Casemiro yellow.

    Overtook him in baps ranking.

    But lost it to Tavenier straight away.

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    tell you what, united games bring the entertainment at least (most of the time)

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Yep. Guaranteed goals.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Rogers (TC)

  19. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Man United losing to Tavernier.

  20. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Yanited what ya doin?

  21. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Horrendous goalkeeping

  22. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    I was thinking in 1st half Utd are looking improved, but nope normal service resumed

  23. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Get Amorim to F

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      His fault?? Dunno

  24. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    And.another goal.without Boomo involvement.

  25. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    united have no midfield. Bruno is supposed to be a central midfielder but is more interested in being around the opponent's box

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Mainoo rotting on bench

    2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Well, if you have some slapstick defenders like Yoro and Shaw on the pitch

  26. Bigbars
    • 15 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Cunha turned his back and there was a massive gap in the wall between cunha and fernandes, cant blame the keeper as the wall is supposed to protect the side the keeper isnt covering.

  27. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Mbeumo to Tavernier anyone?

    1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      The question is, Tavenier or Wilson?

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        yeah, possibly targeting BUR

  28. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Did safe hands make an error?

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 19 days ago

      He made a small step towards the left, maybe he reaches it otherwise.

  29. iFash@FPL
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Who got the assist for the third goal?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      tavernier was fouled for the fk, no assist

      1. iFash@FPL
        • 2 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Selfish guy! Has he ever heard of FPL. 🙂
        But seriously, I thought Semenyo was on free kicks?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          ah not sure sorry, think kluivert likes to take them as well. maybe they just rotate

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Tav fouled and scored the fk

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      No assist it seems

    4. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Thanks all!
