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.

    AWB shot. Get him in.

    AWB shooooots... oh

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wan bissaka with that attacking threat

  4. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wan-B shot sighted at the space station

  5. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If AWB is worth his transfer fee..... how much would TAA and Robertson be worth? 80m and 90m??

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      AWB was 35m and better than them so maybe 25-30ish?

    2. Kim Jong Kün
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably. But if Maguire is, then 275 and 300.

  6. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    son or firmino long term?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No contest, tbh. Son gets more points for goals, and CS points as well... Also gets more goals

      Assuming you have Salah/Mane, Son also gives a captaincy option

  7. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is Jota playing?

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  8. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who would have got the assist for Pogba penalty

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba won it, so no Craig Noone.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no one

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        or should I say, no Wan

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nice then

    4. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba. He denied himself 8 points.

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You trying to rub salt into Pog owners wounds?

    6. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba was fouled.

    7. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No one

    8. Kim Jong Kün
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They don't give one. I always thought if you get it + score it you should get both points but they don't do that unfortunately.

    9. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba missed 3 penalties in the league last season I recall

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Given 12, United scored 9.

      2 in 2 so far, one of their many advantages.

    Taa & Perez to AWB & martial for -4?

    1. Chilli Heatwave

      Have vvd and salah

    2. Beatle

      Not good moves

      1. Beatle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Martial is, AWB not so much

        1. Chilli Heatwave
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Have to to be able to afford martial

    3. KunDogan

      Keep TAA...

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Rashford with a wan bissaka effort

    1. The Truth Is...
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Big hype job

    2. diesel001

      People keep acting like VAR was brought in to give more goals. That was never the point. It was mainly brought in to stop bad goals being given. It is goals like that Thierry Henry handball goal against Ireland, or Boly's handball goal against City last season that VAR was for.

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yet Barca are fully expected to benefit from refereeing even more than usual.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Expected does not mean it happens. Remain was expected to win the EU Referendum.

          I think you are a conspiracy theorist.

        2. Klein
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Lol expected by who?

      2. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yep

    3. Kim Jong Kün
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I was thinking I needed Man U before this game, but not so sure anymore.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think Martial is really decent.

      2. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Chelsea was very poor but should have scored twice in that game...

    4. Knallie
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Comments on this lot?

      Ryan
      TAA / Zinchenko / AWB / Coleman
      Sterling / Salah / KDB / Martial
      Pukki / King

      Button, Lundstram, Cantwell, Greenwood

      Tried to fit Rashord in but would end up with two non-lplaying 4.5 strikers
      Pukki + King should outscore Rashford + Cantwell/Lundstram, right?

    5. dalexp
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Should I swap Wilson and Mount for King and Martial?

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No Neves the chosen one now

      2. Beatle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You have Mount and you want rid?

        1. dalexp
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Was thinking Martial might be better.
          and I can do it if I swap Wilson for King to get the extra cash.

    6. niko mate
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I can't stand Lingard anymore. Why there are no subs yet?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Anymore?

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What pushed you over the tipping point from tolerance to ambivolence?

        1. niko mate
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'm a United fan, I had hope in him, he's sometimes good, but only sometimes.

    7. Freaki
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly, these Man U attackers showing what they are truly are mediocre players. Maybe they are trying to fool us into buying them!

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Rash and Martial have returns in 2 straight.

    8. wulfrunian

      Apart from the finish, Martial has been very poor

      1. Riders of Yohan
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        First half he was class

      2. KunDogan

                5 years, 1 month ago

                21140. To describe him as very poor is the ramblings of a man who doesn't understand the (real) game

                1. Guru Mediation
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

      • 15 Years

      Is there a worse team at taking set pieces in the league.. Would've loved maguire but noone can Find him

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Mata is the only one that can take them.

    11. chichorito
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley to mount (free transfer) is decent?

      1. Macam Dave
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Defo look at mounts stats in members area. Excellent value and my next sub in

    12. Riders of Yohan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      TAA / VVD + king —> AWB + pukki?

      Not for a hit

    13. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      come on utd

    14. Royal5
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      4 - Paul Pogba has missed four penalties in the Premier League since the start of last season; the most of any player in the competition. Fluffed. https://t.co/NI1odCCBg5

      1. Klein
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Its the run that counts. He was too fast.

    15. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How's Lingard still on the pitch?

      1. lespaul
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He's not

    16. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Priority to get Pukki or Martial? Dont think both are worth a hit.

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Look at pukki's fixtures

    17. Mcbazburger
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Really important decision here:

      Cantwell or Douglas Luiz?

      1. Sif
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cantwell plays much further forward

      2. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cantwell. LM, taking corners.

        "We need to cut out the errors, goalscorer Luiz at £4.5m obviously bagged but I wouldn’t expect him to be scoring too many, he’s a pure a defensive midfielder."
