Bruno Fernandes debuts for Man United as Wolves visit Old Trafford

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has thrown Bruno Fernandes (£8.0m) straight into the Manchester United team for Gameweek 25.

The former Sporting midfielder signed for the club earlier this week and looks to be operating in the number 10 role this evening.

Fernandes will support Anthony Martial (£7.9m) from attacking midfield, where he will be flanked by Daniel James (£5.9m) and Juan Mata (£6.2m).

Meanwhile, there was less positive news for those invested in budget left-back Brandon Williams (£4.1m) drops to the bench, with Luke Shaw (£5.4m) handed the nod.

Meanwhile, Wolves are boosted by the return of Willy Boly (£4.7m) at centre-back.

He has been out injured since Gameweek 9 after suffering an ankle fracture, although was named as an unused substitute last time out.

Nuno Espirito Santo has elected not to drop his new signing in at the deep end, Daniel Podence (£5.5m) named on the bench.

That means Wolves front-three still features Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Adama Traoré (£5.8m) either side of Raùl Jiménez (£7.6m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, A Pereira; James, B Fernandes, Mata; Martial.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez, Traoré.

    I forget why I still own martial.....

    1. Regin
      • 6 Years

      Bcoz no one better at that price?

    2. Bobby Digital

      Oop under 8m

    3. Camzy

      His stats are good. And he's still an OoP mid. I'm struggling to find someone better tbh.

      Maybe Grealish or Harvey Barnes but it's slim pickings.

    My team literary is full of blanks beside Salah. Time to WC?

    1. Kip
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No Trent?

  3. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years

    Are people selling Mane?

    1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Undecided

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Already did.
      For Traore. DCL/Vardy to Kun (c) for me next week.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will he get back in the team?

    4. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Already sold before this gw

    5. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pointless to sell now.

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Holding.

    7. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C.5500 did in the last hour

  4. TAT

    Best (Sheffield) Lundstram replacement? Thinking of making the transfer tonight, with WC likely to be played tomorrow.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stephens

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks! I'm a bit lost when it comes to Sheffield United options.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Baldock and Stevens if you can afford. O'Connell or Egan for value. Henderson great but blanks 31 as well as 28.

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        *Stevens

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I meant Stephens from Southampton

          1. TAT
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Ah, my bad! Yes, Stephens is also one I'm looking at bringing in on WC. Might have to get Stevens for Lundstram though.

  5. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A. Vardy to kun
    B. Lund to trent

    Which one? I am leaning towards B

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

  6. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The article said Bruno is starting? Is this true?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ask Moutinho

  7. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Soy killing me - 2 goals conceded from 3 on target.

    Want rid badly but other fires blazing

    1. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah he's annoying me too, should have -4 this morning and ditched him for a pool defender

  8. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you WC this?
    * = 9 Players I would take out

    Ryan* Button*
    TAA Söyüncü* Kelly* Rico* Lundstram *
    Salah KDB Grealish Traoré Cantwell
    Vardy* DCL* Haller*

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Getting close to it I think.

      Front 3 ia a worry - depends who you really want.

      A lot of the players you want long term might have a gw28 blank, so I'm tempted to wait till 29.

  9. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan to Hendo a good move?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Outside the blanks, yes.

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you’ve 28&31 cover.

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

      Dubravka is better

  10. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Should have pulled the trigger on WC last week but didn’t. Would you WC this lot

    Ryan, Button,
    TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstrum, Kelly, Stevens
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Traoré, Hayden
    Aguero, Vardy, DCL

    Not sure if I’d keep Aguero even with West Ham next

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      See how the rest of the week goes. I wouldnt rush.

  11. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone keeping Vardy?

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ya. Others more of a priority. Like defenders who play..

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I could do, via the below moves. But I'm really struggling to justify keeping him, especially if I WC

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      AA\o/

    4. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For sure. After city he could very well storm it. He will find his mojo again.

    5. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if Kun plays tomorrow. If not or gets reduced minutes will bring him in for Vardy against poor West Ham defence.

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        As caveat to that, Kun has blank GW and Vardy doesn’t.

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mane DCL to Traore Aguero/Auba (-4) looks pretty good...

    Could also WC to remove the hit, fix my Lund/Kelly problem and spread the remaining cash

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

      Tbf i would keep Mane especially if you considering hits.

      If you re on WC then ok.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Selling Mane now is really silly. Just hold. I think Mane DCL will beat those other guys handily.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why is it? Price continuing to drop and no guarantee he'll be back for Norwich. 11.9 sat on my bench

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

          He will be ready for Norwich. That game is in 15 days.

  13. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Need to sort my defense and gw28 in mind...
    Who gows first and to who? Lundstram or Kelly? Max 5m (have McCarthy)

    A-Fernandez
    B-Stephens
    C-O'Connel
    D-Lascelles
    E-Other

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Goes*

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Add Boly to that list.

  14. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Traore is looking so dangerous

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can't wait to bring him in, regretfully for Sadio

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He is only good vs top 6 sides.

  15. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best front 3 on WC ? Curently on Ings, Jimenez and Firmino.

    I can sacrifice KdB for Aguero

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks fine. Switch firmino back to vardy after Leicester play city. Mane should be back by then

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

        Yup thats plan

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Auba should be in with a shout too

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

        Dont like Arsenal

  16. Skalla

    Bruno takes out Moutinho!

  17. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who is better 3rd Liverpool player?
    A. VVD
    B. Firmino

    Thanks.

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

      A LT
      B ST

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bobby if you think the goals keep flowing.

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would prefer firmino while mane is out

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane. I think he'll start the next game. The injury sounds minor.

  18. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Having 2 attackers in this game might be a mistake.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lots of high scoring games today.... don't spoil it.

  19. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What a week so far! 🙂 69 from 7... WC was brilliant

    Only shame is I benched fernandez who got 9

    1. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice one, figure there will be a lot of good wcs with the clean sheets so far

    Has anyone had an issue with chips being played without knowledge? My BB activated without me choosing it.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      A likely story indeed!

      1. Johnnyboy UK
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        When your bench is Mane Reid and Dendoncker with no playing gk you just wouldn't would you.

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Check your bin for empty bottles of Desperado

    3. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I had my captain switched to Kane and he failed. No idea how such things happen

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This was some time ago. Heard elite managers had similar issue on the same gw. No one heard me though 😛

  21. WVA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know how Henderson out bapped Firmino!?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A goal and an assist

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Passes, tackles, recoveries etc.

      Good CMs always do well with BPS, any return and they shoot up the BAPs.

  22. RAMZES666
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lundstram replacement? Already have Stevens and Sheffield blank week in 3 weeks time.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toon defender

    2. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stephens or Lascelles/ Fernandez

  23. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If you re on WC would you rid of Grealish?

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

      Yeah.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends whether you're chasing or leading

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

        Chasing

    3. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years

      But who to swap him to?

  24. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    KWP or Stephens?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stephens

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Martial hold up play as a forward is so poor

    Can see why ole was looking for a striker

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      His finishing isn't too clever either.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, but other than controlling the game and scoring goals, he’s the complete forward.

  26. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lots of people prefer Stevens over Baldock as SHU defender. Any reasoning behind it? I havent watched SHU games at all

    Baldock 105pts 2G 4A 7BP
    Stevens 96pts 1G 2A 8BP

    Both have played full minutes whole season
