Sánchez earns start for Man United as Rashford shakes off yellow flag

Alexis Sánchez (£10.0m) has come into the Manchester United side for his first start since Gameweek 29.

The Chilean international has been in a front-three, but his position within that is yet to be confirmed with Marcus Rashford (£7.3m) also in the side.

The Englishman had been a fitness doubt ahead of Gameweek 37 but has overcome it, much to the delight of his 21.2% ownership.

Paul Pogba (£8.5m) is the only Manchester United player in more squads for Gameweek 37, so there will be plenty of interest in both of those two.

Meanwhile, his attacking partner Sánchez is one for those chasing extreme deficits in their mini-leagues and overall rankings.

He sits in just 1.2% of teams for the trip to Huddersfield and still remains a risk despite his start. The last time he featured from the beginning, Sánchez lasted just 51 minutes.

Elsewhere in the Manchester United team, there were welcome starts for those invested in their defence.

Luke Shaw (£5.1m) is the most popular, owned by 7.1%, while Victor Lindelöf (£5.2m) features alongside Phil Jones (£5.1m), who overcame a fitness doubt to start.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are also in action at the same time, with Eden Hazard (£10.9m) the most captained player of Sunday’s games.

410,000+ managers have trusted him with the armband after three double-figure hauls in his last four home matches.

He has been stationed on the left of an attacking front-three for Chelsea, with Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.0m) and Pedro (£6.2m) alongside him.

Owners of Chelsea defenders may be a little cautious given that Troy Deeney (£5.8m) is back in the Watford side.

He returns from a three-match suspension to play alongside Gerard Deulofeu (£5.7m) in a front-two, who has six goals and an assist in his last five away matches.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Christensen, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Hazard, Higuain, Pedro.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas, Doucoure, Hughes, Chalobah, Pereyra, Deulofeu, Deeney.

Huddersfield XI: Lössl; Bacuna, Schindler, Kongolo, Durm; Mbenza, Mooy, Hogg, Löwe; Pritchard; Grant.

Man United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Jones, Lindelöf, Young; Pogba, McTominay, Matic; Rashford, A Sánchez, Mata.

        Agreed I already got long in before this week, just a question of which other one to get in.

      Your'e prayers were answered

  5. LǝgleSs e|even

    Who got the assist for the McT goal?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nobody. HUD player intercepted a ball which went into the path of McTomminey.

      1. Kellz86
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        If that had been Sanchez knocking it off a Leicester defender it would have counted as an assist

  6. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba awful apparently

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      ? No worse than usual so far, Hudds are absolutely terrible.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hudds just jump in the air and hope the ball hits them.

    Chelsea looking pretty sloppy

    Deulefou looking very dangerous

    1. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Need him to score

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

  8. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years

    SOU all out attack for GW38 I suppose

  9. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 11 Years

    Top 3 Southampton attackers to have lets go:

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Redmond, Long & ???

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        JWP, but I fear either Redmond or Long could be benched.

    2. Ode
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      1. No
      2. F*cking
      3. One

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Long, Remond, JWP. Should hope he’ll play he best team for the last home game.

  10. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Who do people think will be Chelsea manager next season?

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sarri with his ball

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sarri

      Players aren’t good enough

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I kind of get this view but isn't this more or less the squad which won the title a couple of years back?

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          they won the title playing a different style and they didnt have any european football that year

          Conte had time on the training ground to get his tactics and style across to the players.

          As soon as the schedule got hectic for them the rotten core of the players came through and that has happened time and again, they do what they want one year champions next year barely make an effort, been the same for years now

        2. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          The players are 3 years older and they lost the only good striker they had, also being out of Europe that season really helped them imo

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'll be disappointed if it isn't Sarri. We NEED to give managers time.

  11. Nomar

    Norwich taking no chances. Unstoppable.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Good to see them playing well against a top notch team

  14. Ode
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    McTominay playing more attacking than Pog

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      As expected, that's why I was hoping Herrera would play.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep

  15. Don Kloppeone

    1. Amey

      Mighty Leeds

  19. diesel001

    Huddersfield shot wide.

      Your powers of observation are remarkable 😉

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      ?

  21. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years

    Hazard first decent chance. Watford playing well in fairness.
    If I was Hazard I would thinking, Real or Barca at this stage.

  22. Warbling Wendy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Fantastic game Che - Wat, really enjoying seeing two teams who are trying to play and win the game.

  23. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    So which Norwich assets is everyone eyeing up? Pukki with 29 goals and 9 assists could be decent

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep he looks good

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He’ll be over priced. 7m+

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I guarantee he won't be that much. 6.5m maximum.

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Mitrovic was 6.5? He has a better record than him.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Mitrovic was also previously a Premier League player.

            1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Jota at 6.5.

          2. Zilla
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Surely FPL towers realize that PL from Championship is a big step up now?

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who's that German CB, I think its Klose? Could be a decrnt set piece threat.

    4. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      One of the wingbacks. Probably Lewis.

  24. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Huddersfield of 2019 v Derby of 2008 would be the first game in the history of football where both teams manage to lose.

  25. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Huddersfield beat Wolves twice this season

    How?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Trying to injure himself probably

  30. Magic Zico

    Martial, what happens to him? Just out of favour?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He's injured.
