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.

    That penalty decision was a joke

    On the other hand, United have a gem in Greenwood

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Agree on both

    2. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      we shall see how good, how much time is he getting to get his shot off?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        lol come on.

        1. Digital-Real
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          close him down sooner and let's see if he pops those shots off. I will see you next season 😉

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      Agreed

      I am still scratching my head wondering how that was given, right up there with the worse decisions this season.

      And yes Greenwood does look to be a very special talent

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's gonna be great.

  2. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I remember when people on here were calling Greenwood crap earlier on in the season, a kid that was playing in a team that was struggling. Guess that's just the banter era

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I got him earlier in the season too. I saw the potential

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Love how he just looks so comfortable on the ball and his decision making

            That's before we even talk about his finishing with both feet

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I got laughed at for saying he should be starting more at RW.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Would not surprise me if utd sign Sancho, that greenwood keeps his place and Sancho replaces rashford more often than not

        3. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Greenwood is the real deal. Not a United supporter but great to see such a great prospect.

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

          Greenwood will be £9.0m and Foden will be £7.5m next season. Priced out of fear.

          1. Collie01
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Hopefully not!

            Question is, does Greenwood get classified as a forward? He is playing a similar role as Salah, Sterling, Mahrez etc.

          2. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            9m for both would be totally fair. The low pricing of Utd and Chelsea attackers this season was the anomaly.

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

          Henderson
          TAA AWB Saiss
          Salah KDB Fernandes Mahrez Foden
          Rashford Jimenez

          Pope Lascelles Connolly Lundstram

          1FT, 0.6 itb

          1. TAA Jimenez >> Digne / Azpi Vardy (-4)
          2. Rashford Jimenez >> Greenwood Vardy (-4)
          3. Hold

          Thanks

          I've got Martial, Fernandes and Rashford and I'm scared

          1. SHOOTER MCGINN
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Same here. Time for Rashford to go I think.

          Greenwood has made a big jump post-lockdown. Bulking up seems to have made a difference.

          1. HNI
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            he increased his height by 2 inches and weight by 7kilos. Forget you can control height till 21 lol..His goal is 6.1 with 80kg weight

            1. JONALDINHO
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I’ve gone up 1.5 inches and 8kg post lockdown. Call me Greendinho

        8. School of Poch
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Any suggestions of how to use my FT here?

          Martinez
          Doherty/AWB/Aurier/Saiss/Lascelles
          Bruno/KDB/Mane/Pulisic/Son
          Rash/Jimi/Nketiah*

          2FT
          1.2ITB

          1. Hect.OR 98th
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Rash to Greenwood then upgrade Nketiah to Vardy if affordable (don't thing it is) or Jiménez to Vardy.

            1. School of Poch
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              That's odd. I literally just made that my first move in a few potential ones I was thinking of.

              A: Nketiah/Rashford > Greenwood/Vardy
              B: Nketiah/Son > Vardy/ASM
              C: Rashford/Son > Greenwood/Salah
              D: Other?

              1. School of Poch
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Must be a sign.

          3 years, 8 months ago

          Martial 53
          Greenwood 44

          Thought that goal would have helped more 🙁

          1. FPL Daniel

          Half time benching decisons talk. Post your query and I will answer it.

          Mine dilemma is who to play:

          Digne or Jimmy?

          Shoot yours dilemmas

          1. Hits from the Bong
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Son to Sterling, or Son and Jimmy to Vardy and Pulisic (-4)

        15. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Disgusting play by Konsa to put his leg under Bruno's foot. Should be off.

        16. HNI
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Greenwoor will be in England world cup squad for 2022

          1. pablo discobar
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            he'll be in the euros squad

        17. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Probably selling Kane +Holgate

          A Vardy +Azpi
          B Jesus + Laporte
          C Jesus + Azpi

          Unfortunately .1 short of Vardy + Laporte.

          Could go for A and sell donkey Doherty for Laporte next week.

          1. Hitmonlee
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I’d rather Jesus long term I think.. but Vardy for the next few. Hard one

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

          Martial assist 🙂

          Rashford to Greenwood

        19. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          So frustrating when you have funds tied up in Rashford and don't have the luxury to move to greenwood and upgrade elsewhere

        20. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Very poor from Villa not to close him down but that was a strike Ruud van Nistelrooy would be proud of.

        21. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Sterling (c) 35+?

          1. JONALDINHO
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Next week captain for me. Always hauls away and will be taking up the poaching from aguero. Brighton will try and play ball and city will end up having a field day. He’s nailed too

        22. Call Me Old Fashioned
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Rashford, Jimi and Foden all should go.

          Only got 1FT to deal with them. Hit INCOMING

        23. Kodap
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          So, Rashford > Greenwood?

        24. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Rashford starts to appear on my list for Vardy casualties....

        25. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          As a Bruno, Greenwood and Rashford owner is that a good or bad half?

          1. Hybrid.power
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            2 out of 3 scored. Pretty good.

          2. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Good

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

            Same here, shame I didn't captain Bruno, but happy overall!

        26. EL_FENOMENO
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          A) Rash + Son to Greeny + Mane
          B) Son + Jimmy to Vardy + Willian

          Both are for -4

        27. Jet5605
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Jimi & Rashford > Vardy & Greenwood for free?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            This. Going to be a popular move!

        28. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Everybody have Greenwood and Martial and i stuck with Trashford who plays LB and he is 5 milion more expensive than Greenwood

          Cant wait for season to end

        29. Bury94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          It's annoying owning a player over 100% EO when you haven't captained him. Want to cheer my points but Bruno causes my rank to go backwards

          1. Firminooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Lets cheer a penalty miss.

        30. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years

          Greenwood for 4.3m since the restart has been my only good decision
