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.

    VvD->Soyuncu
    Hayden->Martial
    Wilson->Kean

    (-4) Yes or No?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not Keen on Kean. Enough for Pukki or not?

      1. the vanisher
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        yes but i have a feeling on Kean and dont like the Pukki hype

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

          Kean might drop, hold off for now

    Gosh, i hate VAR. It should only be used upon request from the referee...

    1. Kim Jong Kün
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Then it would only be used in instances they saw but doubted. The whole point is to catch things they missed. They can only look at so much at one time.

      1. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        But why try to make us robots? We are humans and we do make errors. That is a part of the game.
        But I could understand if VAR was used to help the referee when they were in doubt

        1. Kim Jong Kün
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          The VAR official is a human, too. And the referees are trying to be accurate they just can't see everything all the time, so having eyes in the sky helps. Fans complain about seeing things the referees miss all the time.

    Trashford...

    1. Bucky Barnes

    Someone really needs to tell Rashford to pull his head out of his own ar$% tbh.

  11. pingissimus

    Here’s hoping enough of you bought first half AWB to send his price up

  12. dark91

    Pope
    VVD, AWB, Dunk, Lundstram
    Mane, Sterling, KDB, Son, Martial
    Pukki

    (Button, Soyuncu, Greenwood, Wickham)

      I'm tempted to wildcard to this tbh haha

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Already pulled the trigger. Naively hoping I can make up 0.2 value before deadline and upgrade Soyunku to Zinchenko...Not sure it's possible though.

  14. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pogba has been invisible.

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years

      Are we watching the same game?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years

        I blame myself for that pen.

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years

          Haha well he went and missed it lol

            • 10 Years

  16. vityovics

    Cantwell or Dendoncker?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Cantwell

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Both look decent value for fodder. Maybe Dendoncker if you've already got Pukki.

  17. Legohair

    A. TAA&Perez to AWB&Martial

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years

    Rashford is the most overrated player in the world . Even when he rams this down my throat by scoring which I expect...I stand by it .

  20. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Jota, score this winning goal

  21. Poseidon.

    We should pull out of the league in protest

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      LOL. You got done by a brilliant shot.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Start with pulling out of FFS.

  22. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any thoughts on use of transfers here (2FT, 0.0ITB):

    Heaton / Pope
    VVD / KWP / Zinchenko / Digne / Montoya
    Salah / Sterling / Perez / Trossard / Dendoncker
    Kane / King / Wickham

    Thinking getting rid of Perez and banking the other. Possibly McGinn, Mount or lanzini

  23. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Lingard needs to go.

  24. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Rash and Martial are both awful if you ask me.

    But playing for a team that will score a lot, and the worldwide fans generate price rises quicker than with any other team...

    I own Rash but would prefer Martial.
