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 first
“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

Any spurs fans able to shed some light on why Moura was rested vs City? Will he be restored at home to Newcastle do we think or is Lamela and Son the preferred starting pair?
