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.

    2 SOT both from Bruno

      He'll thrive in the #10 role once Mctominay is back.

    Best move?
    A. Kelly/Lund to Stevens
    B. Soy to Vvd (replace K/L later)
    C. Vardy to Jimenez

    1. Fpl Richie

      Actually A should be O'C/Egan.

    2. Effe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C

    3. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years

      A with Kelly.

    I’d love a Jiminez goal, Traoré assist right now

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      You and me both. Very mediocre GW

      I would hate that.

        0 shots on goal too

    I wish these clean sheets would hurry up and go. Makes me think I’ll actually get some points...

    Hilarious the system being used is revolving around periera and James rather than using Fernandes strengths

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

      Ole knows...

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      It's frustrating as hell.

      The best position for a creative player is high in the half space.

      Idk about Fernandes's strengths but I noticed when James has the ball, Martial doesn't know how to get open. He's got to be THE worst center forward in the league, meanwhile he thinks he's the best player in the league and in a constant state of sulk.

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

        Martial is fantastic with the ball at his feet. His work off the ball is crap though.

        "When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average … So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you’re a good player or not." - Cruyff

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

          One of the Glazers, I forgot which one, absolutely swears by Martial though, and refuses to let the club sell him.

          Jose wanted him gone.

        2. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Martial has his moments but he's been massively overhyped by United fanboys even though he's awfully inconsistent having been starting regularly in the United team for past 3-4 years. I think he has an attitude problem. Jose knew what he was doing.

    Wolves to win this?

    1. Effe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They do have a tendency to score late goals

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could go either way. Two counter-attacking teams.

    Any of you clever people know how many shots on target Salah had today? How would I find out?

    Thanks

      Scroll down and click the goal threat tab. Order by attempts.

      Four overall, but high quality chances.

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years

        Thankyou - 2 shots on target then if I've looked at it right?

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

          Yeah. But all 4 in the box, and 2 big chances, which is pretty good.

          1. Limbo
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Was going to say. 50% conversion too. Sharp.

    Having Periera and Martial is like playing with 9 men.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pereira as LW is funny

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Add James to the list

  14. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    C'mon big T score and get those juicy 3 baps

  15. Budweiser

    James and Pereira let this team down so much

  16. Limbo
    • 13 Years

    Got 6m burning a hole in my pocket.

    Can do DCL to Aguero. And unbelievably I don't want to. Madness kicked in this winter.

          Bench him.
          He has lovely fixtures before and after the 28th.
          He is the reference point in this team, he is nailed and he is fresh

        2. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Kun blanks too. Which is why I'm in two minds. He'll probably knock 4 past the hammers. They look very very soft.
