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.

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

      1. Old Bull

      • 10 Years
      2 days, 14 hours ago

      Yoro positioning is all over the place

    • tucaoneo
      • 7 Years

      Semenyo not getting any bonus

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Needs another return (which looks likely tbf)

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 days, 14 hours ago

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

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        2 days, 14 hours 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
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Shhh don’t tell anyone

    • FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      2 days, 14 hours ago

      Bruno winning goal needed now

      1. FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        It’s coming

    • Bigbars
      • 14 Years
      2 days, 14 hours 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
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        He’s currently on 7 def cons though

        1. Bigbars
          • 14 Years
          2 days, 14 hours 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,

    • brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years

      Amorim must be wondering why he bothers

      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.

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 days, 14 hours ago

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

      1. Moon Dog
          2 days, 14 hours ago

          Yep. Guaranteed goals.

        • Magic Zico

        • 12 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Man United losing to Tavernier.

      4. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Yanited what ya doin?

      5. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Horrendous goalkeeping

      6. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

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

      7. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Get Amorim to F

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 14 Years
          2 days, 14 hours ago

          His fault?? Dunno

      8. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        2 days, 14 hours ago

        And.another goal.without Boomo involvement.

      9. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        2 days, 14 hours 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
          2 days, 14 hours ago

          Mainoo rotting on bench

        2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 days, 14 hours ago

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

      10. Bigbars
        • 14 Years
        2 days, 14 hours 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.

      11. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Mbeumo to Tavernier anyone?

        1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 days, 14 hours ago

          The question is, Tavenier or Wilson?

          1. Ser Davos
            • 10 Years
            2 days, 14 hours ago

            yeah, possibly targeting BUR

      12. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Did safe hands make an error?

        1. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year
          2 days, 14 hours ago

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

      13. iFash@FPL
        • 1 Year
        2 days, 14 hours ago

        Who got the assist for the third goal?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          2 days, 14 hours ago

          tavernier was fouled for the fk, no assist

          1. iFash@FPL
            • 1 Year
            2 days, 14 hours ago

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

            1. F4L
              • 11 Years
              2 days, 14 hours 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
          2 days, 14 hours ago

          Tav fouled and scored the fk

        3. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 days, 14 hours ago

          No assist it seems

        4. iFash@FPL
          • 1 Year
