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.

    Does someone have a link to potential DGW fixtures for 32? Thanks

      Better to wait since we are so close to the announcement than to go off guess work

        5 years, 2 months ago

        I agree, just wanted to have a look and knock up a couple of drafts, not hit the button yet or will be until announcements

        But would just wait a few days for confirmation of dates

      Doherty, Jota and Jimenez the Wolves pack on FH?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Reckon they'll start the 2nd game? Really close to semi final.

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely Doh and Jim. Possibly better mid options out there than Jota, though.

        HOWEVER, i am worried about em getting rested in the second fixture w/ fa cup semi in mind 🙁

      3. tucaoneo
        • 5 Years

        They have nothing to play for in the league.

      4. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Keep Jimi, but as Tucaoneo said, the league will probably be secondary to them now, so not sure stockpiling their players will be a good idea anymore.

      Solskjaer 1 week away from getting the sack

      I love this Wolves side, man.

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years

      35 points and 5,4k rank after today...Is this team good enough for gw32 without FH or WC left ????

      Ederson
      Doherty - Luiz - Shaw
      Maddison - Sterling - Hazard - Pogba
      Jimenez - Aguero ( TC) - King

      sub : Boruc - TAA - Robertson - Hayden

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Come on now . At least if you want to brag about your rank don't disguise it with a spurious question

      2. Tsparkes10

        Like that a lot mate. Dunno how you've got to that position and what you did today or will do in 33 but nice.

      Does this get reversed?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not from that angle

      2. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It did

      3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It just did.

    23. FPL Forward Thinker

      Ouch. Red on that slow motion. Played man first

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No he didn't.

      Reversed to YC through VAR

    25. WVA

      Never a red card FFS!

      FH team opinions?

      Ederson
      Luiz Shaw Schlupp
      Sterling Hazard Pogba Son
      Aguero Jimenez Murray
      Boruc Deulofeu Simpson Connolly

      Lucky boy.

    27. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      Yellow.

      Not sure I get that. Obvious error?

      1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        You can discuss whether it's red or not, but VAR can never overturn a decision of such nature.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          That was my understanding, but what do I know.

      Is Walker potential option to DGW32?!

      I could want def line: Azpi - Luiz - Walker

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years

        I’d prefer Ederson if I wanted City DF Cover

    31. Team Cruel

      Dumb ref. Why give red in the first place?

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Because he thought it was a red card offence????????

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I really cannot comprehend this kind of ignorance. A ref has to give a decision on the spot. With VAR there is an opportunity to review it. To say that he is dumb is ridiculous.

        1. Dr Van Nostrand
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          On this site it's very comprehensible 😉

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years

            Very true.

            As you have similar sentiments to me I just wondered whether you would be interested in a few other fpl related competitions and fpl chat ?
            If so e mail Kurt-Grohl@gmx.com

          Agree but that comment might have been made by a referee
          Team Cruel - do you have referee experience?
