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

      A collective distant sigh is heard, perhaps even an eybrow raised, from us patient Bruno keepers

      Depends who they sold for.

      1. AC/DC AFC

        1 month, 15 days ago

        Foden

        Or Cherki mostly

  7. Ady87
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Imagine dropping in price after a goal and an assist and then following it up with a goal minimum.

  8. Football is home

    Mbeumo droppers are having a bad day

    1. AC/DC AFC

      Semenyo switchers too

  9. x.jim.x
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Had posters with 15 next to their names banging on about his “poor record” against Everton all week hahaha

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Not me… I was in Norway!

    2. Bobby Digital
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Yeah, now all we need is a Bruno penalty to punish the Bruno sellers too

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Mbeumo to Bruno bar earlier on in the first half.

        1. Bobby Digital
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Yeah we got robbed!

    3. THE Wild Rover
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Well I wasn’t one, I have no idea what his record is, but if it is poor, then the comments were valid. Hindsight nonsense.

      1. x.jim.x
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I’ll ask you what I asked them then - how are Brentford games from half a decade ago relevant?

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Man Utd have a 100% record at the Hill DickDock

        So far

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 month, 15 days ago

          75% now

            1 month, 15 days ago

            Back to 100%

            As it stands

  10. Jstap94

    1 month, 15 days ago

    Would you move

    1) Mbeumo to Rogers
    2) Tzolis and Lammens to Rogers and 4.0?

    1. 17th Time Lucky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Of those, 2. But may well do neither, especially with Tzolis still to play

  11. Supersonic_

    My knees are so weak

    1. Twisted Saltergater

    Content creators in mud. You love to see it!

    1. Zilla
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I don't have grudge against FPL content creators per se, it's just that people copy their teams so whenever it goes their way, all their minions win as well.

  13. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Wait for Arsenal line up re Tzolis. He may hold his place.

    1. Jstap94

      Caicedo injured?

      1. g40steve
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Yes last week

  16. GoonerSteve
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Tzolis to punish sellers.

  17. Brosstan
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Rashford losing possession and jogs back during evertons counter. I honestly cant understand how a manager looks at this crap and let's him stay on the pitch. Weak from Carrick

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Let’s be honest, he looks like Vinicius Jr. compared to Brennan Johnson

      1. The Philosopher
        1 month, 15 days ago

        That's a low bar.

  18. Defcons are for Kinnear
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Who told Brennan Johnson that he could become a professional footballer?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      When was he good? At Forest? Like seriously.

      1. Not again Shirley
        1 month, 15 days ago

        As a Forest fan, he was great about 4 years ago but seems to have regressed since. Not sure why but he has. Spurs move didn’t do him any favours.

        1. g40steve
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Followed the £££ to polish the pine, never good for form

      2. Brosstan
        1 month, 15 days ago

        He had a few good cameos at the start of his spell at spurs..

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Looked like Cunha was chopped tbf

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Straight through his legs

      won the ball

      tark

  20. The Philosopher
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Mbeumo -> Cherki hasn't gone as per the plan but is going on as per the script. Classic FPL.

    1. Supersonic_
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Standard

  21. FPL Emu
    1 month, 15 days ago

    And just like that, Mbeumo has two returns and Bruno four returns in three matches, exactly according to the original template. Funny how fast things (people) turn

    1. Fifa las vegas
      1 month, 15 days ago

      The question now though is do you still keep them both or change things? Really want Palmer but someone has to go.

      Not convinced by KDH either but can’t ignore the upcoming fixtures

  22. Football is home
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Tark is a beast

    1. The Philosopher
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Did he shapeshift into a werewolf?

      1. Football is home
        1 month, 15 days ago

        He just assaulted slab head Harry

  23. F4L
    1 month, 15 days ago

    wow tark what a tackle

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Risky but required

  24. kempc23
    1 month, 15 days ago

    A) Raya, Mbeumo + £0.9m
    B) Trafford, Saka

    On wildcard, thankfully I got Mbeumos points today!

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      A

    2. 17th Time Lucky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Probably A. Don't know how many rests or early subs Saka will get to keep him fresh once Europe starts

      1. kempc23
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Im really torn. Saka has looked great. Honestly, Mbeumo hasnt looked good at all but hes getting the points!

  25. adstomko
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Thoughts on this move?
    Gabriel & Schade > Konsa & Palmer

    1. kempc23
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Wait a few mins to see if Konsa is starting

      1. 17th Time Lucky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        He is

      2. Fifa las vegas
        1 month, 15 days ago

        He is

    2. 17th Time Lucky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Looks worth it

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Like it assuming Konsa/Palmer emerge from the Emirates unscathed.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Get it done.

    5. adstomko
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Cheers all. Have to pray Konsa gets unscathed in UCL

  26. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Could really do with an Everton goal here, to prevent the sorry sight of two clean sheets (Maguire, in addition to Kinsky) and a goal (Le Fee) glued to the bench while Hume, Sangare, DCL, Verbruggen sit in the XI!

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

      Feels like Grealish will have to do it all on his own, if so. Im a bit disappointed in KDH. Even Ipswich scored twice against them!

  27. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    KDH loves a pea roller. Lammens hauling.

  28. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Could do with an Everton goal

    All those patient Gw1 squads with Man United defenders

    1. FPL Scoop

      Jinx! 😆

      1. AC/DC AFC

        Double jink

  29. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    1 month, 15 days ago

    I wonder if this day and age most of the players follow fpl and know when they’re heavily bought or sold, and when sold they are more incentivised to score well.

    Since it’s uncanny how often a heavily sold player scores that week, like Mbeumo this week. Must be something in it as it would be too coincidental if not.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I think it’s more likely that having not scored the previous game(s), they then give an extra 5%. Would explain the opposite scenario too where they may rest on their laurels a little and blank.

  30. FPL Sanky
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Anyone else sold Mbeumo for Foden this week?

    1. jacob1989
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Foolish me. Wc active. Mbuemo back in, bruno out

    2. FPL Scoop

      Nearly
