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.

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

    Another couple of goals from Martial and Greenwood and I might still make a green arrow this gw

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same. But important Rashford blanks and no CS

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    I was around 40k two GWs ago. Now I'm 114k. I love this game.

  6. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What’s wrong whit Rashford!? He should be my differential.. need to get rid of for..

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same. He is awful

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same, Firmino could be good, Burnley and then arsenal, he always scores big vs the gunners

  7. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford Jimenez >> Greenwood Vardy (-4)

    4. shaunyjames
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Making this move after this game - just cant decide which of the two to captain

    5. Stoic
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      +1

  8. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Need Martial!

    Stupid to do Kane, Rashford and Guendouzi -> Vardy, Ings and Martial (-8), means rotate Ings and Greenwood (!)
    Or do it next GW for (-4).

    Or just log off? 🙂

  9. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Out of curiosity what’s the largest leap in price a player has achieved from one season to the next?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane went from 5.0 > 9.5

      That seems hard to top.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Mahrez was more no?

        1. suddenorgan
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          just looked was £5.5 to £9.5

        2. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Mahrez was 5.5 > 9.5.

          So that's 4.0m same as Vardy between 15/16 who went 6.0 > 10.0.

          So Kane still has the record.

          1. Stoic
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Better to look at percentages

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thought he’d have done something like that.

        Greenwood is going to be very hard to price next season

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Will he be classed as a mod or forward?

          1. Collie01
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            *mid

        2. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          If Jesus is £9.5m then you price Greenwood the same, IMO. Seems harsh, but the guy scores goals and is outscoring Rashford and Martial.

          Foden should be £7.5m - £8.0m given Silva is leaving.

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            What did Rash start this season as - that feels like the benchmark to me

      3. JONALDINHO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Greenwood 4.5 to 9?

      4. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Greenwood will be 4.5-8 imo
        Lundstram 5.5 midfielder
        Nketiah 6.5 mil
        Ings 9.5
        Kane 5 mil midfielder 🙂

        1. @persecuted_by_mods

            Pepe: free as a buy one get one free

            1. suddenorgan
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              if he goes to below £8m I can see the pre-season questions already

      5. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Mahrez?

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rashford to Greenwood

      Nketiah to Ings

      For -4???

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yes

      2. JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Considering that myself...

      3. DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Makes sense

      4. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Considering the same

    3. Hitmonlee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane>>

      A) Jesus
      B) Vardy

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        B by far

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        B or A as a punt?

      3. DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Brought in Vardy this week, may move onto Jesus for last two fixtures if it looks like he’ll start then

      4. Stoic
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Benteke even

    4. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lots on here were criticising decision to swap rashford for Greenwood but it’s clear which one is most in form from that half. Obviously in my own case upgrading Guendouzi to Pulisic was the main reason(!) for the transfer but I wasn’t exactly concerned swapping rashford out.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Looked a no brainier on paper, easy to say in hindsight I suppose

      2. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I was so close to doing it GW33 but it still wasn’t clear that he was nailed then. Obviously is now. Will do the move this week.

      3. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Also a tad early to claim victory

    5. Dont give a fuchs
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Stoke lost 5-0 to Leeds. Jack butland was in goal.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Butland is absolute garbage. Saying that so is the rest of the team. Shambles.

    6. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      More needed from Woody set up from his friend Anto.

    7. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Greenwood, Martial, Bruno(C) owner here \o/

    8. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      ML season over. Final straw for Rashford.

      Use my FT to do Rashford to Greenwood then consider how to use my -4 later?

      Two weeks later than I first considered the move but there you go...

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That’s what I did

        Ended up doing Duda>Mahrez for the hit, went ok!

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Nice one, thanks. Got Mahrez too, just painful watching United having kept faith with Rash!

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yea, not a bad move, still a good player - form is massive

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm

          Sánchez eligible?

    10. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Even though I agree Bruno’s pen shouldn’t have been given, neither was Kane’s. Watch the replay. He clearly trips over Vertonghen and is already going down. I know everyone upset because bringing Kane in was a terrible move in the first place.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        What you smoking

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Clear as day. They’ve shown the replay multiple times. Admitting it is the first step!

          0.1 only, I'm afraid. I do have DCL on the bench though, could sell him.

          1. Threat Level Midnight
            • 5 Years

            Could sell him for fodder like Gordon maybe? Then upgrade Jimmy to Vardy? Just spitballing.

      A; use 1ft to swap Kane for Vardy, free hit week after.
      B; -4 hit Kane & Nketiah > Vardy & Greenwood?
