Solskjaer, Mourinho and Santo name unchanged sides for Sunday’s matches

There is plenty of interest for Fantasy managers in Sunday’s two 14:00 GMT kick-offs.

Manchester United take on Everton at Old Trafford, while Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Molineux.

There aren’t many team changes around from Gameweek 16.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named the same starting XI that beat United’s cross-city rivals in the Manchester derby.

Having made a raft of alterations in European dead rubbers in midweek, Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo also revert back to the sides that performed well last weekend.

The only manager to make any starting XI changes is interim Everton boss Duncan Ferguson, who welcomes Seamus Coleman and Yerry Mina (both £5.3m) back from injury.

Bernard (£6.4m) and Tom Davies (£5.3m) are also drafted into the team, with Theo Walcott (£6.2m), Morgan Schneiderlin (£4.4m), Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) all dropping out of the squad.

Walcott and Schneiderlin’s absences are enforced due to calf injuries, while Sigurdsson and Sidibe were both taken ill ahead of today’s game.

Marcus Rashford (£9.0m) was the most-bought Fantasy Premier League asset of Gameweek 17 and now sits in more than one in four FPL squads.

Rashford has also been transferred in by more Fantasy managers than any other player ahead of Gameweek 18, despite facing two fixtures before then (United are also in EFL Cup action in midweek, although the visit of Colchester United will likely lead to plenty of rotation).

Rashford has only blanked once in the last eight Gameweeks.

Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) is also on a pretty good run of eight attacking returns in the last nine Gameweeks, although hasn’t found the back of the net in his last three league run-outs.

The Mexican striker was sold by more FPL managers than any other player in both Gameweeks 16 and 17.

Dele Alli (£8.7m) and Son Heung-min (£10.0m) have been picking up plenty of owners over the last month.

Since Mourinho first took charge in Gameweek 13, Alli and Son average 9.5 and 9.25 FPL points per match respectively.

Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Diogo Jota (£6.1m) come into Sunday’s game at Molineux off the back of their highest scores of the season, meanwhile.


Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, James, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Holgate, Mina, Keane, Digne, Bernard, Davies, Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Doherty, Coady, Saiss, Dendoncker, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Traore, Jota, Jimenez.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Dier, Sissoko, Dele, Son, Lucas, Kane.

      We’ll see if it’s worth being that rough. The psychological effects can be worse than tactical benefits.

    Haven't seen the game, how are Spurs looking today? Before the game I thought about tripling up with Son Alli and Aurier, still a good move?
