Everton take on Manchester United in the penultimate fixture of Gameweek 3.

Kick-off at the Hill Dickinson Stadium is at 14:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Man Utd’s head coach, Michael Carrick, has unsurprisingly named an unchanged side after the victory over Ipswich Town last week.

Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Marcus Rashford and Bryan Mbeumo, the most-transferred out player of Gameweek 3, are all starting.

Mason Mount is fit enough to take his place on the bench.

As for Everton boss David Moyes, he makes only one alteration from Gameweek 2.

Brennan Johnson comes in to replace Iliman Ndiaye following his move to Manchester City.

Deadline day arrivals Jack Grealish and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are both substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Rohl, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Armstrong, Garner, Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, George, Barry

Subs: Travers, Maitland-Niles, Keane, Grealish, O’Brien, Dibling, Alcaraz, Hackney, Graham

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Tielemans, Mainoo, Mbeumo, Fernandes, Rashford, Cunha

Subs: Darlow, Heaven, Mazraoui, Yoro, Santos, Dorgu, Mount, Sesko, Zirkzee

    Half tempted by Bruno to Palmer (or even Rogers) and keep Mbeumo for now.

    Is it too risky? It allows me do a lot more in replacing Hinshelwood than just switching out Mbeumo instead of Bruno.

      Another option might be to WC to sort out defence and goalkeeper situation as well, and keep the FTs?

      Verbruggen, Kinsky
      Cala, Gvardiol, Maguire, Hume, Diop
      Bruno, Mbeumo, KDH, Hinshelwood, Sangare (the even shitter one)
      Haaland, Pedro, DCL

      Go ahead. Mbeumo covvers bruno points.
      Is hhhinshelwood jnjyred? Playinv innthe 10 for Brighton is a good player for 6mil

        Don’t know when he’s back.

        Was really annoying for him to miss last few GWs after that haul in week 1

    Harry Maguire get out my team

      So much this.

      Also keen to ditch, but wondering if I need to be rid of Hume first...

      1. GCHILD2K16

        Hume was ill before game hence the benching otherwise guaranteed starter and his fixtures improve massively wk 6 onwards

    Elanga vs Barnes a somewhat tricky decision for Newcastle's upcoming fixtures

      Feel like I’ve been ignoring Newcastle a little too much actually.

      But yesterday the bit I saw of them I was glad enough I didn’t make the sideways switch from DCL to Wissa

    This game
    6m Garner 8 DCs in 76 minutes XGI 0.07
    6.5m KDH 11 DCs in 90, XGI 0.34

    Barry averaging 0.98 XGI over the 3 games so far, second only behind Haaland

      Problem is, they’re leagues apart in terms of finishing ability.

      1. Haa-lala-land
        1 month, 15 days ago

        That is a bit of a problem

      People are not seriously putting an Everton striker in their team are they

      1. Haa-lala-land

        He should be in the conversation. Hes not fashionable, I get it, but he is 5.5, seems nailed, might even be on pens. He will tick along unassumingly all season.
        Better option than to keep jumping back and forth between Wissa and DCL the whole season

    Would you wildcard or freehit this team?

    I have mbeumo and bruno at Fulham and dcl v Palace in gw5.

    So im planning fh4 wildcard 6. Thanks

    Verbruggen (kinsky)
    Calafiori maguire ajer (wgan davis)
    Bruno mbeumo Szobo foden (sangere forest)
    Haaland pedro dcl

    Used my 3 FT to do Mbeumo, Maguire and Lammens to Palmer, Konsa and Kinsky after the Liverpool game as I would have been priced out otherwise. I have O’Reilly in my team who did not play and Foden who is a rotation risk.

    Should I consider using a FH if O’Reilly is out for one or two gameweeks ? I got Bobby Thomas coming in off the bench if he doesnt play. Also got Davis 2nd on the Bench. I suppose it comes downto if Foden is starting vs MU in gw4. The positive with a FH would be that I save 2 FT.

    My plan is to wc in gw5 or gw6 and bb in gw7.
