Man United options return ahead of Double Gameweeks

1,133 Comments

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.

    OGS has clearly had a positive effect on UTD but the biggest factor was losing miserable Mourinho and his bad man management. OGS has a pretty poor record in management genarally

      Maybe Paul Ince was right when he basically said any clown could take over and do well just by not being Mourinho.

        guess the only risk with this strategy is if you don't FH or WC and want Salah back for 33.

      can you not just transfer him out and free hit later in case you change your mind? Still save 0.1 for 32 team and Salah comes back at the same price for 33.

      Looking ahead to dgw using likely fix from Ben’s sheet, I would say the following are musts:

      Sterling
      Kun
      Pog
      Rash
      Haz
      Luiz

      With one more from each of city+united+chelsea. Likely Bernardo Silva/Laporte, DDG/Shaw/Lukaku, and Azpi/Higuain?

      Then you have th best from the rest, with the likes of Jiménez/Deeney/Zaha as last forward spot, possibly Son/JWP in mid, Doherty/Wan-Bis in defense, and Ryan in goal?

      Agree/disagree? How do you guys see it?

      This may well be a fairly (very) stupid question but bare with me.
      If I do Salah to sterling tonight and FH tomorrow when I’m sober, I can still keep him in my free hit team even though it’s been done with my one free transfer?
      Actually, that is just so stupid. Never mind. Move along.
