Another start for Greenwood as unchanged United take on Villa in Gameweek 34+ finale

The final fixture of Gameweek 34+ sees Aston Villa take on Manchester United.

Kick-off at Villa Park is at 20:15 BST.

There is little in the way of seismic team news, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named an unchanged starting XI for the fourth league game in a row.

Mason Greenwood (£4.7m) gets another start down the right flank, then, with Bruno Fernandes (£8.9m), Paul Pogba (£8.3m), Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£8.3m) supporting the budget FPL forward in attack.

There is only one change for Aston Villa, meanwhile, as Mbwana Samatta (£5.3m) comes into Dean Smith’s line-up to replace Keinan Davis (£4.3m).

Rashford, Martial and Greenwood are all owned between 46% and 51% of the top 10k, with Fernandes sitting in more than nine in ten Fantasy squads among this elite bunch.

Just under 20% of the top 10,000 FPL managers have captained the Portuguese midfielder.

Fernandes has averaged 8.9 points per match since he joined the Red Devils in January.


Aston Villa XI: Reina, Konsa, Hause, Mings, Taylor, Grealish, Luiz, McGinn, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Samatta.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.

    As dull as their shirts

    I envy Kane owners, such an easy route to get Vardy in...

    1. BigBillyBass

      You should get Kane mate. Could be a good move for you

    This won't be a goal fest

    KANE next season 8.5?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      That's very expensive for a DM

    2. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      4.5m

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      And a mid classification too

    4. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      too expensive

    5. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He is not playing mid. He is being asked to put in shift but too lazy and too slow to get back up.

        I'll take it this week

  6. BigBillyBass

    I can’t quite work out why some people captained Kane this week? Were they dropped on the head before they made that decision?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Nostalgic dreams.

    2. Nomar

      No.

      I'm an idiot, I accept that.

      Just needed to do something different and hoped the Kane of old would return.

      Underthinking after United smashed Bournemouth

  7. Rainer

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ings had 18(!) touches in the Everton box 😮

    That must be near a record, crazy number.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He is getting into my team mate. Last 3 fixtures should be some nice hauls.

        Got him last week again after ditching for the restart, staying for the rest of the season

    Bruno not at it tonight.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just bought him this week. For Salah

  10. FOO FIGHTER

    Just looking at the EPL table.

    LFC 92 points

    City 69

    Just shows what a beast side LFC have been and how City have regressed.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      City will win the league next season

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Blah blah blah

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not if the ban stands and they lose players.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      City beaten 9 times this season....incredible given the thumpings they still hand out on a regular basis

    3. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      City went back to back, Liverpool had a crazy year last year and a second this year. Let see what happen next year

    Not sure what to do here. Would like a Chelsea mid and Vardy but not sure i'd drop any of my current mids. Jimenez is the one who probably needs to go. 1FT and £0.9m ITB. Think I might just save and reassess next GW. Not sure the options below would pay off. What do you reckon?

    Pope, Martin
    TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Femenia, Lascelles
    Mane, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Martial
    Jimenez, Ings, Greenwood

    A) Save
    B) Mahrez to Willian
    C) Mahrez & Jimenez to Willian & Vardy (-4)
    D) Doherty & Jimenez to Mendy/Aurier & Vardy (-4)
    E) TAA & Jimenez to Digne & Vardy (-4)

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i'd stick with those mids, and do jimi/doherty to vardy and someone other than aurier/mendy

      or do mahrez to foden to fund the vardy move

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Would have £5.5m for the def, could go Gomez or Leicester def.

        You reckon foden starts the next one?

  12. gers23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jiminez to Ings this week or give Jimmy one more week?

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      God no, pull that trigger

  13. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who is more likely to start,mahrez or kdb?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mahrez? Both start I think

  14. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Will Digne keep his hands on 2 BAPs?

    Feels weird willing my own player to do f all, but please just lose interest in this game Fernandes.

        ML rival captained him and an EO over 100. Knowing your own players' EOs can ruin the fun of this game at times.
