Pogba still on Man United bench as Greenwood earns rare start

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) will have to wait a little while longer to get his first league start since returning from injury.

He has been named on the bench for the Gameweek 19 meeting with Newcastle United which kicks off at 17:30 GMT.

The Frenchman made his comeback with a 26-minute cameo against Watford in Gameweek 18 and still hasn’t featured from the beginning since Gameweek 7.

However, there is a rare start for Mason Greenwood (£4.3m), just his second of the season.

The youngster has been stationed on the right-hand side of an attacking midfield trio, Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) on the opposite flank and Anthony Martial (£7.7m) up-front.

Meanwhile, there is some rotation for Newcastle United too.

Dwight Gayle (£5.0m) comes into the line-up in the place of Andy Carroll (£5.4m), who finds himself on the bench.

Joining him among the substitutes is central midfield pair Jonjo Shelvey (£5.1m) and Isaac Hayden (£4.4m), who have been replaced in the first XI by Sean Longstaff (£5.0m) and Matthew Longstaff (£4.5m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Fred; Rashford, A Pereira, Greenwood; Martial.

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Lejeune, Fernández, Schär, Manquillo; Almirón, M Longstaff, S Longstaff; Joelinton, Gayle.

      I appear to have too much influence on here I might make a new account for my own safety

    1. diesel001

      Bit early to say that.

      More like Abraham cappers in tears.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        They all thought Pogba would start. Now it will be a dire 0-0 affair

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          How'd this work out for you?

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

      Who you go for? The professionals pick?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Kevin de Kaptain

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years

          Korrect

      2. Pumpkinhead

        'professional'

      4. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Kane was the pro pick.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Ballsy to captain a DM, but it paid off

  6. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Matty Longstaff to crash Ole's car again

  7. Piggs Boson

    After Palace's poor summer of business I thought they'd be in trouble... and then all the injuries happened!

    Roy's done so well with so little resources. He's been outstanding value for Palace.

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Agreed. Top manager

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yup Roy has done very very well

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      LOL. Given the average is 21 with 5 to play then safe to say, yes.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      LOL

    4. g40steve

    10. GOTHAM City F.C.

  9. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Tammy to Greenwood and Dendonker to Maddison is a no brainer right?

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      :/

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Is that a no?

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not for me tbh. Transfers feel a bit meh

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        So you think theres a better option than Maddison? Tammy looks poor

  10. OPTA FPL

    WC available yet?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Is for me 🙂

  11. FPL FREAK
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    19 pts (Abraham was my captain which ends in dissapointment)

    Still Vardy, Rashford, Mane, KDB and Fernández to play...

    What do u think....??

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You need Fernandez to haul

      1. FPL FREAK
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Which is pretty much impossible... Right..?

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to say.
      But surely one of your big 4 will get double digits. Fancy rashford

    3. One Wheels Enough
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Could be OK, I'm on 20 with 5 to play, but they're my best 5: TAA, Mane, KDB, Vard (C) and Rash

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Who's VC? Just out of curiosity. Vardy should start

        1. One Wheels Enough
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Rashy

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Tammy needs to go as well as Rashford but for whom?

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If rashford hauls doesn't need to go.
      Vardy jiminez. Even Kane and Kun are options with the fixtures.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kane and Deulo/ Ings for me

  13. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Time to move Tammy out?

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think I'm giving himArsenal then he's straight in the bin.

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

        Think he won’t be dropped?

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

      When he did his spleen in, for Ings.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        and I was so smug when he surprisingly came back and scored 12

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Wow. That actually explains it, hes been nursing the ruptured spleen all this time. Not surprising that he looks unfit.

        1. Flynny
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I'm looking at tammy to maupay

          Maupay rested today with a home games next and a lovely long term run of fixtures

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I wouldnt get Maupay on the basis that I own him. He wont get anything

      Tasty to be fair. Hopefully rashford still gets points

      1. Hansel

        Thx

  16. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Norwich at home to Spurs is the kind of game where Norwich do well. Pukki to redeem himself next GW?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, IMO.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hope so. Had high hopes this game and hes on his last strike

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Feels like it, Pukki scored vs all these top teams at home:
      Chelsea, Man City and Arse. Given Spurs defensive issues it seems likely, but then again im in shock he got nothing vs Villa 🙁

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cant tell if that's a sly dig at utd not being a top team haha

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          no lol, he blanked vs them 😀

    4. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Mou will setup the team defensively in away games imo..

  17. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Those who watched Everton game, how did Richarlison fare?

    Keep or switch to Maddison?

    1. PrettyDick
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      sell imo. DCL looked the biggest threat by far, and Everton in general aren't a side that creates too much going forward (neither is Ancelotti in general)

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

  18. PrettyDick
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Last week I started Heaton (2p) ahead of Henderson (12p). This week I did the opposite .. horse crap of a season

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Exactly why i hate GK rotation

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You could just have one and a 4.0 and you wouldn't have this headache.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      Norwich are pretty turd but unlucky

  19. Stef rocks
    • 6 Years

    Completely awful Gw - 6 out of 7 blanks so far 🙁

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Am I reading that correctly? 6 shots, 5 in the box, with a combined XG of 0.36?

      Lies, damned lies, and statistics

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Only 2 on target too. Must have been in crappy positions then.

  20. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Need about 50 points from TAA, Robbo, Salah, Vardy, Maddison, KDB (c)

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Holy crap I now only have 1 of those

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I conservatively estimate 2 assists each for TAA & Robbo, Hattrick for Mo, 1 goal 1 Assist for Maddison, brace for Vardy and then 4 assists, 2 goals for KDB

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years

      1. Lord of Ings

        Yes in the sense no bonus or he's getting bonus?

        1. Rainer

    What to do with ryan ? one of the reason I keep falling behind as he is outscored week in week out by other keepers

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

      Did fine this GW so.

  23. onceuponatyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Get shot of Henderson, with those fixtures over the next 5?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A tough fixture for a GK is an opportunity for a ton of save points. So I think I have bigger priorities elsewhere and might as well keep.

  24. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Cant wait for Kun to smash the template in 3 days

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Is there even a template now bar Vardy and KDB with a pool attacker everyone else sucks!

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Can anybody tell me what happened to Sarr and King. Both subbed for tactical reasons or injured?

    Thanks.

  26. sunzip14
    • 7 Years

    Tammy to Wilson or Deulo?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Same dilemma. Im going for Callum probably. Great fixtures

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal next. Hold. Captain.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Maupay?

  27. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Excluding the goal. How did Deulo play?

    Worth bringing in for short term?

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

      Quite dangerous tbf mate, almost scored a mad freekick. Defo worth a look

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      For whom?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        For Rash.

        He is gone for me aswell as Tammy

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Saw him vs Man Utd and he was pretty good, on corners as well

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Saw that game aswell and looked really good

  28. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lads, can I hit it? WC team:

    Ramsdale
    **Pereira**, Chilwell, TAA / Lundstram, Kelly
    Salah, KDB, Alli, Grealish / Cantwell
    Vardy, Jiménez, **Maupay**

    Other option would be, instead of Pereira/Maupay, Rico/Abraham.

    What do you say?

  29. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    98 with 4 to play ..... including gws 17 & 18 🙁
