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.

    Assuming both get a DGW:
    Zaha (HUD, tot) or Jimi (bur, ARS)?

        Good point, thank you

    Why is everyone treating everything Crellin says as gospel? If I recall correctly he called both United's DGW wrongly. Could very well be wrong again.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Doesn't he give probabilities based on bookie odds and historical data? That would mean he is giving us an idea of what might happen isn't it?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Yeah that's my point, he's giving probabilities. But loads on here are treating those probabilities as if they are 100 % accurate and that no alternatives exist.

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Point taken, I guess some aren't thinking logically and exercising some patience (ie waiting for the fixtures to be official before playing chips/making transfers).

          Thought you were saying Ben's work is completely useless

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 13 days ago

      The puzzle has pieces like United vs City in 35 so the rest fits. Watford games are the flexible parts.

    3. HTL
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Utd double is guaranteed, as is Wolves. City have a very favourable fixture with or without a double, I'm comfortable pressing the button.

  3. StoichkovFPL

    5 years, 13 days ago

    Better combo on FH:

    a) Gunn/Ryan + Pedro
    b) Kepa + JWP

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Kepa + Deulofeu

  4. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Rashford on FH looks so boring. No thanks

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Lukaku is the fun

    2. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      He's kind of looking exhausted

  5. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Luiz or Ap

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Apzi

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Oops accidentally sent early.
      Luiz or Azpilicueta for the DGW?
      I can squeeze funds out of the bench fodder for Azpilicueta....

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

    Building a free hit team is fun ngl! Oh what has my life come to?

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Sad but true

  7. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Is there a template arising for DGW32 FH team?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Seeing as the template bombed today (Vardy Wilson Fraser Wham def etc) why not just do your own thing?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      RMTs a plenty.

  8. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    What's the FH WC this week consensus again?

    Are they both as viable as each other?

    Instead of FH this week, WC then FH next week? So have WC team back for 34.

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Consensus is garbage

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Both work.

    3. AnfieldLad
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      It’s essential the same thing. Wildcard players could get injured though so FH then WC makes more sense

  9. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Jimenez,Pogba, Aguero, Hazard all good Shields !!
    Sterling,B Silva, Higuain,Azpi, Duffy great sword's !!

    FH gw 32 😮
    I'm loving it.

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Sterling will be in everyone's team won't he. Doesn't that make him a shield?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years

        Yes it does...

  10. ratchet
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Have 2 FT next week. Do I lose it if I FH next week? Do I only get 1 for GW 33?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Yes

      1. ratchet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Thanks. That sucks balls. Wonder if I should cop a -4hit instead and use the FH for gw33

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Leave it.
          Don't change the plan for 1 FT

  11. Cookie Kid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    FH32ers pressing the button now or is it worth waiting just to check everything we think should happen does actually happen..?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Doing some transfer's
      Waiting for hitting FH / WC button 😉

    2. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Hit the button. Don't worry.

  12. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Free hit 32

    If I sell Salah for Mane tonight, I gain 0.1? Then can swap Mane in a few days.

    Salah due to go down tonight. Mane going up.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Yep

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Cute trick. Thanks.

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      you need 0.2 to make a 0.1 ‘profit’ will he go up again with tough week 32 fixture? Perhaps with international break if he were to score tomorrow say

    3. Yoshioka
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Def swap out Salah to miss the drop, but no real point bringing in Mane as he needs to rise twice for you to see the .1 profit, and he probably won't for the DGW.

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      But Mane won't double pop so you are back where you was

    5. dannyhesse
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      You would be protecting your selling value but you would need Mane to rise 0.2 and then sell him before the deadline to make 0.1 profit.

  13. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Jiminez really is a fantastic player, he's come on so far.

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      At the centre of everything. Glad I’ve kept ahead of Aguero on my bench

  14. Shultan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Rashford YC means likely to start both DGW matches?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Different competition.

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years

      Looking in the back foot, could well get knocked out imo

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      2. Shultan

        Yeah Wolves getting a lot of chances

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Romero would start for most teams in the world

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Absolutely
      United have best keeping 1 & 2 in the world !!

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        As a pair I mean

      2. Yoshioka
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Courtois and Navas for me, but United's two are class.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      He loves being a reserve keeper

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        ££££

  16. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Pogba Son and Salah all dropping tonight!

    No need for me to sell Pogba or Son as won't lose selling value but I will with Salah so should I do Salah > Sterling?

    1. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Do you have Mane?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        No why? He might rise but not twice especially after he's rested tomorrow, and don't want him on a FH.

  17. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Pull trigger on this FH team?

    Ederson (3.9)
    Azpilicueta Shaw Valery (3.8) (3.8)
    Sterling Hazard Pogba JWP (4.2)
    Aguero Higuain Rashford

    0.0 ITB

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Depends which ones you own now.

      Pogba falling in price according to FPL Stats so if you are transferring in then you could wait on him.

      Ederson is close to a price fall too.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Rashford also close to falling according to FPL Stats.

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Already own Pogba and Hazard.
          Can’t see 0.1 here or there getting me anyone else (improvements or not)

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Double saint's? Crazy but love it!

      1. OldBenKenobi

        Like their fixtures more than wolves etc

    FH 32, do I want 4 bench fodder (cheap rubbish) or 4 cheapest starters with a double just in case?

    1. Epic Fail

      Just build your first XI then see what you've got left.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years

        This
        I can't get more than fodder's

        Hello fella

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          I see you're up into the price places. Just gotta stay there now.

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      I'd probably want a GK and a defender if possible.

      1. Schafsalat
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Why do you want a playing GK on the bench? Or am I getting your sentence wrong?

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      2 fodder, 2 cheap starting dgw players? Even if anything were to happen, doubt you’d need more than 2 subs

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      2 cheap folders 1 cheap starter should work. Depends on your TV really

    AWB gives context for Guaita and might play him

    I think a Wolves win here suits my want , who would you prefer to win, purely from an FPL perspective

    A Wolves
