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.

    Why is Greenwood beating Rash by so much?

    Is it the position he’s being played in or simply down to his finishing?

    I guess I’m asking if we are sure it’s a sustainable thing

      (Lots of people talking about 4-8 pr hits for the swap...)

    2. Rainer

      Rash very wide.

      1. Nanoelektronicar

        This. Rashford stands on the left, Greenwood gets more into central areas. Extreme overachieving also.

    3. Brosstan

      Just look at the two of them when they get the ball. Greenwood simply a better striker, both in terms of movement with the ball and finishing.

      More confident finishing and getting in better shorting positions. Rashford often out hugging the wing

      Cheers.

      Sounds hit worthy

  5. DandyDon

    Rash, Jimi > Vardy, Ings (2FT)?

    Will give me:

    0.3itb
    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Kiko
    Salah, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Pulisic
    Vardy, Greenwood, (Ings)

    (Martin) (Lascelles, Simpson)

    Yes, there’s a benching headache but feel it’s worth it. Agree?

    Are people cooling on Vardy now? Or is Rashford Jim to Vardy Greenwood going to be universal?

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

      Rashford and JImenez to Vardy and Greenwood is obvious

  18. teddypicker
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Jon Moss looks a bit sheepish, reckon he saw the Bruno pen at HT?

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

      He would be like that, he’s been making mistakes for years.

  19. Slim25
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which option?
    A; Use 1ft to swap Kane for Vardy, free hit week after.
    B; -4 hit Kane & Nketiah > Vardy & Greenwood? (Start Greenwood over Jimi)

    Pope (3.9)
    TAA, Aurier, Ritchie (Holgate, Robinson)
    Mane, Bruno, Martial, Mahrez, Pulisic
    Kane, Jimi (Nketiah)

  22. Sgt Frank Drebin

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Just seen the Greenwood's goal, wow. Looks like we have a star in the making. He's unreal.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

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

  26. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    How on earth did awb not score. Just typical

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

    Villa look like they’ve given up

  28. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    That was the silliest corner to give away

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

    Reckon Ings will score vs UTD

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Should be plenty of goals in that game!

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

      Quite possibly

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

    Am chasing in my cash ML but only a few points behind in 2nd. As Ings is rising tonight should I pull the trigger now on Jimenez > Ings -4?

    It will then allow me to do Son > Sterling next GW.

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Can you afford to wait and do both next week?

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

        No as Ings is rising tonight. My plan was to wait until next week and I may still do so as I’m not sure Sterling is worth the price whereas Willian or Pulisic look good value.

        No idea what to do
