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.

        United are cheating scum with fans Manchester claiming to be superior even though they’ve never even stepped foot in Manchester

      Beside Azpi which Chelsea defender nailed?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Officiating is absolutely abysmal in this league. VAR brought in to help but its just made them look even worse.

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

        This

      2. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        the problem is the PGMOL ego and the fact that they feel threatened by VAR and just go with the on field decision because they feel that, that will keep the credibility of the refs. The implementation has been an absolute joke tbh

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Easy solution is to have the on field ref review the replays on the monitors. It eliminates the issue of anyone overruling anyone else. The ref just gets the benefits of watching replays like we do.

          1. Sgt Frank Drebin
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            From the next season PGMOL won't be responsible for VAR. Fifa is taking over all VAR related activities. There probably will be side monitors too.

      3. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not really...if VAR can’t even make the correct decision after watching it in slow motion for 3mins than the ref gets off scot free. I’m still confused as to why in this league no ref seems to ever go to the side monitor and look for themselves? To far of a jog? Série A do it all the time

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Not really what? Not really that bad at their jobs? Kane clearly shoved in the back earlier and it's no penalty but somehow they cant see that its actually a foul by Fernandes on the Villa player? Give me a break.

    • Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial seems to be my only differential

      1. Champions League Varane

        Me too abeg he scores

    • Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Watching the Bruno replay back in slow motion - disgraceful
      Clutching his leg like he's been shot when the Villa player makes no contact
      He's clearly a talented player but ridiculous he resorts to cheating like that

        Well there is a referee and VAR to disallow this "cheating", no blame on him at all lol.

          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I wish fellownutd fans would stop being this embarrassing. He is a great talent but lets not defend balatant cheating

            3 years, 8 months ago

            How it's embarrassing mate, who even cares? Do you think all these people would say something if this was against us?

        Feeling totally let down by VAR and the Premier League with that. Has totally destroyed my enjoyment of this match.

          They can...start handing out cards for diving and it will be halted

      Silly, silly boy, AWB. And that fat idiot John Moss books him, too!!!! 🙁

    • Eric Banternaaa
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pope - Button
      TAA - Doherty - Maguire (Saiss - Holgate)
      KDB - Mahrez - Bruno - Pulisic - Foden
      Kane - Jimenez - Greenwood

      2FT - Kane Foden TAA > Ings Salah 5.5Def

      What’s your thoughts? Would be -4

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

        Salah could be in for a rest. Keep TAA. Never -4 for a defender unless you are planning BB or DGW imo.

    • brianutd-why always we? 20

      2 referees can’t be wrong lol

          Brilliant

    • Red Rock
      • 6 Years

      Kane or Jimenez out for Vardy?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Kane

      2. how now brown cow

        Both!

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      AWB got a lot of YC by the looks of things

    • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Greenwood is basically Aguero now isn’t he? Very similar style

      Jeez he’s going to be great fun to watch in he coming years by the looks of things

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Or Van Persie.

    • Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Man Utd penalties 18

      Burnley penalties 2

      How does that honestly happen?

      1. Mr Arsenal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Burnley don’t get in the penalty box

      2. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Unite have players running into the penalty area trying to attack?

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Utd too many penalties

        Burnley probably about right

      4. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Just to let that sink in, United are unlikely to go two games without getting a penalty. That's unreal.

    • Slim25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What to do with this team?
      Pope (3.9)
      TAA, Aurier, Ritchie (Holgate, Robinson)
      Mane, Bruno, Martial, Mahrez, Pulisic
      Kane, Jimi (Nketiah)

      Do I
      A; use 1ft to swap Kane for Vardy, free hit week after.
      B; free hit now and focus on Leicester and West Ham fixtures.

      1. Tsssst
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        B is a joke right?

        1. Slim25
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Leicester vs Bournemouth,
          West Ham vs Norwich?

          I assume just stick to A?

          1. BobbyDoesNotLook
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Stick to A but B not bad either tbf.

            1. Slim25
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Had a stinker of a week, tempted to take a -4 hit and get Greenwood for Nketiah as well

      Were Bournemouth solid or were spurs just bad?

      Have funds to do DCL > Vardy but maybe Ings instead?

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Spurs abysmal.

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Spurs terrible. No creativity. Crossing is poor too.

      3. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bournemouth were better than lately but spurs were terrible.

        0 shots on target v Bournemouth tells its own story.

      4. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Credit to Bournemouth they were very solid today. Spurs didn’t create much either though.
