Few line-up surprises as Wolves host Man United

Wolves and Manchester United have both named largely unsurprising line-ups for the first Monday night clash of the 2019/20 season.

As expected, Nuno Espirito Santo has made no changes from last week, retaining a 3-5-2 shape for his key men.

The majority of them were not involved when Pyunik were seen off 4-0 at Molineux on Thursday, so Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) and Diogo Jota (£6.5m) have both had seven days since their last start.

Popular budget midfielder Leander Dendoncker (£4.5m) continues to be involved in the heart of Wolves’ engine room, alongside Rúben Neves (£5.5m) and Joao Moutinho (£5.5m).

Matt Doherty (£6.0m) holds onto his right wing-back berth following injury in pre-season, with Jonny (£5.5m) on the opposite flank.

While Jota and Jiménez boast 19.3% and 11.4% ownership each, the wider Fantasy world does appear to be backing a Manchester United clean sheet.

That’s according to the ownership anyway, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) the most popular player in the Monday evening meeting.

He currently sits in 36.1% of teams while David de Gea (£5.6m) is owned by 20.4% and Harry Maguire (£5.5m) by 19.2%.

The Gameweek 2 captaincy debate also concludes with Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) getting the final say.

He comes into Gameweek 2 skippered by over 220,000 managers, making him the most fashionable captain at Molineux today.

Meanwhile, Daniel James (£6.0m) comes in for his firstever start for Manchester United in the Premier League.

“He has made an impact since day one. In pre-season, in training and he came on last week to get a goal. We’re going to chop and change at times. Andreas did well last week but today Daniel James is the right choice. Dan is Dan. He’ll give us the X factor of his pace, his attributes also off the ball will be important as he’s incredibly hard-working.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Wolves XI: Patrício; Boly, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez.

Man United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Pogba; Rashford, Lingard, D James; Martial.

      Son imo. Mainly due to price. Also dont like the deep lying Kane.

    3. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I did son. Not keen on kane. He should do better at times against top 6 and he doesn’t

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        my word, THIS

  2. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    1. dalexp
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

    2. Triple P
      • 9 Years

    Any transfers worth a hit? £1.4m itb

    Heaton
    TAA VVD Digne KWP
    Salah Sterling Perez Martial
    Pukki King

    Pope,Montoya,Dendonker,Greenwood

  4. dalexp
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Keep TAA and Mount
    or Swap for Wan Bissaka and Martial
    (I have 2 free subs)

    1. conorbon
      • 10 Years

      Do what must be done

  5. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Not watching the game. How is Jota doing? Transferring him or King out.

    1. Lexi2014
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same here, leaning towards Jota out atm...

    2. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wolves as a whole as an attacking forces have done absolutely nothing.

    3. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Literally invisible

    4. Sif
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wolves looking sloppy, Europa league hang over.
      In the same boat so of the two, even with City this week I'll keep King who has got a goal from pens.

    5. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      getting stifled by AWB

    6. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers all. Leaning towards Jota out I think.

  6. Lexi2014
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tielemans and Jota -> Ceballos and Pukki for free.

    Yay or nay?

    Team below:

    Heaton (Pope)
    Digne / KWP / VVD (Lundstram/ Cathcart)
    Salah / KDB / Moura / Tielemans (Dendockner)
    Kane / King / Jota

    1. Triple P

  11. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Main questions doing my head in.

    1) Son or KDB
    2) Son and Rashford or Kane and Martial
    3) Aubam to Kane straight swap?

    Hmmmn

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      KKM

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      1. KdB not close.
      2. Martial is value. Kane and Martial

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not even Son if had Sterling and no spurs and it allowed Rash and Martial?

    3. Triple P
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      1 KdB
      2 Kane + Martial
      3 no

    4. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son, KDB and Martial - who to get

  12. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Ole. Take James off.

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Quickly

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      James has been good down that flank.... are we watching the same game

  13. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Traoré got a cross in 😯

  14. FPL_DON
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    People keeping hold of Moura? Tempted to myself, for newcastle atleast

    1. Lexi2014
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Holding for now...but watching closely

      1. FPL_DON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Likewise

    2. Triple P
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just pulled the trigger and swapped for Martial

      1. FPL_DON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Losing Perez for him myself

  15. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Traore on....congrats on the clean sheet to owners of Utd defenders

  16. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Gutted that I sold Martial on WC and kept Siggy instead. If I swap his straight back Siggy will probably punish me vs Villa. Tough decision :/

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Eh?

    2. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      When was your wildcard?

  17. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sigurdsson to Martial for free?

  18. Albert_Luque
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Repost, lost on last page. A or B?

    A: Robbo, Perez and Wood to Pukki, Martial and AWB for a -4
    B: Robbo, Perez, Siggy and Wood to Pukki, Martial, AWB and KDB for a -8

    I know a -8 is a lot, but those 4 could really boost the team if they continue to show the form they're in

    1. Albert_Luque
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      In B, Wood is actually Callum Wilson.

    2. Legohair
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

  19. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Do you prefer
    A) Ceballos + Mings (Mings rotates with Dunk and Soyuncku)
    B) Mina + Cantwell (would start Dunk and Soyuncku most games)

  20. barton fc
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Current team: 0FT 1.0ITB
    Ederson (4.0)
    TTA digne lundstrum (guilbert rico)
    Salah sterling KDB trossard dendoncker
    Wilson jota (Wickham)

    Already done robbo + Fraser > lundstrum + KDB, but think there's some real points in United vs Palace

    A. Whildcard
    B. Leave it
    C. Trossard + Wilson > martial + pukki - 8
    D. guilbert > AWB - 4

  21. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    there goes Jotaaa

  22. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So...I don't care how, could we just have a wolves goal please?

  23. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sorry for re posting
    Which one?
    A. Perez&VvD to Maddison&AWB
    B. Perez&TAA to Maddison&AWB
    C. Perez&Zinchenko to Maddison&Souyncu
    D. Perez&TAA to Martial&AWB

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not sorry enough to use spaces

  24. Viper
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Jota banks & United keep a clean sheet I'll be very very tempted to wildcard. I've already taken a hit with 2Fts to begin with

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What moves are you plannin and how your team would look like on WC?

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Jota will score 2 in second half

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think I’m hitting the button. Need to react when so many good options I don’t have

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Who is the must haves on a potential WC?

    4. TAT
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same here. The more I look at it, the more WC looks the way to go. It feels to early though.

  25. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Salah + Perez to Mane + Martial?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. GE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

  26. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    rather have Rashford or Martial?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The cheaper one plays as nr9 and gets more points for goals.

      You figure it out for yourself.

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Asked a few pages back, Martial won 4 - 1

  27. GE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    1) or 2)? 🙂

    1) Robertson and Perez -> AWB and Martial
    2) Robertson, Perez and Jota -> AWB, Martial and Pukki (-4)

    1. Kalou
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      1

  28. Bullet Eder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If you could only keep one of TAA and Robbo, who would it be and why?

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Taa. More attacking.

  29. HamezMace
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Think I know the answer but just to confirm;

    Lacazette and Robinson to

    a. Pukki and Martial
    b. Rashford and Mount

    for free, and likely to WC after GW4 anyway.

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A but i dont like pukki with these fixtures... I'd go with Jota

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Same, but it's only for 2 games that I need Pukki, and I don't see a better 7m or less forward with better games...Abraham too risky.

  30. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tempted to triple up on United with AWB. Martial & Rash. Looks like overkill but their fixtures are very favourable

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It should work for a while, probably until they get bored of putting a shift in like towards the end of last season.
