Man United options return ahead of Double Gameweeks

Manchester United have been boosted by the return of several midfield options for their FA Cup clash with Wolves.

Both teams already know their Blank Gameweek fate for the rest of the season as they were due to meet in Gameweek 33 anyway.

Therefore, this particular FA Cup tie will have no immediate effect on the upcoming Fantasy Premier League schedule.

However, it does appear to have put a few Manchester United options back into consideration for the upcoming Double Gameweeks.

Jesse Lingard (£6.7m) and Ander Herrera (£5.0m) are back in the midfield to ease Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s concerns in that position.

The former could end up as an interesting differential for Gameweek 32 with a good performance at Wolves, while Herrera could help further unlock Paul Pogba‘s (£8.9m) potential after a recent dip.

Meanwhile, Juan Mata (£6.1m) is back on the bench.

However, there is no Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) who picked up a foot injury in the week.

As for Wolves, it’s just one change for Nuno who brings John Ruddy (£4.2m) in for Rui Patricio (£4.5m).

That means that despite being available for the game, Ryan Bennett (£4.2m) is named on the bench, while Romain Saïss (£4.2m) keeps his place in the back-three.

Wolves XI: Ruddy; Boly, Coady, Saïss; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; Jota, Jiménez.

Manchester United XI: Romero; Shaw, Smalling, Lindelöf, Dalot; Pogba, Matic, Herrera; Martial, Rashford, Lingard.

    Missed me?

      Like a toothache.

  2. HurriKane

    Best 3rd city asset for dgw32 ? (Assuming most will own Aguero Sterling)

    A) Bilva

    B) Laporte/Ederson

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wondering the same..

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Surely Laporte wont pop up with another goal outta nowhere?

        Leaning towards Bilva. City could run riot in attack. Plenty of defenders can cover Laporte

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Cardiff susceptible to set pieces if I remember correctly, wouldnt be too odd.
          2 CS also likely.

          Bilva probably better though

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bilva

    4. Avo24
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B silva looks really good today, but cs vs fulham and cardiff almost certain

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        City could score 10 goals as well and bilva could be heavily involved alongside kun sterling

        1. Avo24
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          But apart from sterling and aguero, its a roulete. While ederson certain to play for both match

          1. HurriKane
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Bilva immune given the form he's in real life

            1. HurriKane
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Nd pep loves him. Cant praise him enough

    5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Tricky tbh

    6. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      After tonight Bilva, player of the year, is so much value & nailed

    7. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B.Silva

    8. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure Bilva has had more minutes than Sterling recently. He's peps love child

  3. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Now remember if Pogba gets a hattrick tonight then he will repeat that in GW32, as thats how football works.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Worked for Aguero.....

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's a must have in 32 no matter what happens tonight

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah fully convinced, what a revelation!

  4. amit1964
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    who will be the 2 teams to play city in 33 gw?

    1. amit1964
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      sorry 32

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cardiff & Fulham

      1. amit1964
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        thank you

  5. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    FH 32 team:

    Ryan
    Doherty - Laporte - Luiz
    Sterling - Hazard - Pogba - Jota
    Aguero - Higuain - Rashford

    Button - Romeu - Stankovic - Connolly

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Higuain sucks

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        When you have Cardiff and Brighton in the DGW you don't get too picky.

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Higuain, Jota & Laporte to Jimenez, Bilva & Utd/Che def

    2. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not confirmed yet.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        City deffo have a DGW. So do Utd and Wolves. Makes sense to move Brighton v Chelsea to GW32 too given Brighton also have another DGW due.

        1. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Still waiting for confirmation.

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Am considering JWP

    4. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      DDG instead of Ryan might be the only improvement

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        WAT and wol may not be best for CS?

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Better than SOU che

  6. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    26 from 5 zero hitter.

    Will take that.

  7. Rainer

    Such a dreadful week. Need salah to stub his toe in the shower and mane to go off to get anywhere near preserving my rank.

      United win if you are loading on Wolves and vice versa.

      1. MGD

    • 13 Years

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        brighton v spurs might be moved to later in the season i heard whilst chelsea get 32 but not sure

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea 32. According to Ben’s spreadsheet anyway. Made sure I screenshot that a while ago!

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        thanks, I thought so. Difficult to keep up

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Could be TOT v BHA in 32 and CHE v BHA in 35

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

  18. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So as it stands, who are the DGW32 teams?

    City, Cardiff, Utd, Wolves?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Brighton will likely have one. They have the rearranged fixture from GW27 (Chelsea) and this GW

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Watford + opposition

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        watford v fulham is enticing

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Mitro DGW against this City defence and then against Watford? Sign me up

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            could be some good cheap options, some watford attacking options just for fulham game alone might be good

  19. Poseidon.
    • 5 Years

    United fans unite!!

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You can dump them even if they go out.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I could but I would feel more comfortable dumping knowing rotation looms. Likes of doherty, patricio currently in my team and if fh will take them out

  22. Athletic Nasherbo

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1. Marvin Moon

          1. Marvin Moon
            • 7 Years

            I do my best.

    3. TorresMagic™

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
