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.

    I hate this game.

      Top post. Nice.

      Then don't play it. Not being funny, but it is a free game with pretty crap prizes. If you don't get enough enjoyment out of it, just stop playing it.

    Would've lost my mind if that AWB goal Rashford assist materialised 🙁

      Same!!

    Lot of form V fixtures V nothing to play for and I can't decide. Way too many midfield options. Way too few other options. Five in mid the way to go?
    Chelsea: CL to play for. 3 tough fixtures, 1 great fixture. Fixtures put me off.
    Willian - Always looks good, loves a Hollywood ball. Never seems to actually get consistent points, apart from right now?
    Pulisic - best player at the moment?
    Giroud - Suddenly an option?
    City: Nothing to play for but I think they will hammer most teams anyway. Amazing fixtures but who actually plays?
    All of their midfield seem really good picks, absolute lottery though.
    Jesus - Is he an option now?
    Liv: Nothing to play for. Time to ditch defence?
    Salah - wants that golden boot, is that enough?
    Others
    Jimenez - what has happened? Clearly trolling me 🙂
    Calvert-Lewin - is the run over?
    Vardy - is he back? Tough fixtures except Bournemouth. Last game could decide CL spot.
    Ings - what happened, supposed to be injury prone? Just trolling me too I guess 🙂 Good fixtures after Mun.

      Are you okay?

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

        Why the toxicity?

        Any time

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

          Didn't mean to post then.

          Any time anyone brings up anything remotely analytical or more than "RMT guys!!" or asks "should I do these transfers yes or no?!" it's ridiculed.

          The guy is listing a lot of options moving forward throughout the rest of the season. Clearly positing the question of which seem the best assets. No idea why that gets slammed.

          These threads should consist of more than this elitist bashing/telling each other what to do.

          My word, what a strange response.

            I thought it was a bit odd too.
            Thanks for making that comment.

      There’s a game on

      1. FOO FIGHTER

        Lol

    3. Gomolon

      breathe mate, breathe

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

      Agreed on all
      4-5-1/3-5-2
      Ings plus Greenwood
      Double City mids
      Bruno + Martial/Rashford
      Salah or Mane
      Cheap defence

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

      City - KDB/Sterling/Foden
      Pool - Salah
      Utd - Bruno/Martial/Greenwood
      One of Pulisic/Ings/Vardy to finish it off

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

        Ings imo

          Was expecting slightly more love for Vardy. You have the same issue as me though, you've picked 7 mids 🙂
          Thanks for the thoughts though.

    Exact money to do Rashford and Hayden to Martial and Giroud. Yes or no? Also have Bruno and Greenwood.

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

      Is Giroud nailed?

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That was my thought

        Best Chelsea players are will and puli

      2. mr messi
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Don't know but I've a strong bench

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

          So save the transfer and play your bench?

  5. Hybrid.power

    Pogba has been anonymous

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A hacker?

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

      Playing a much more disciplined role since the restart. Better for the team but not as flashy individual performance imo.

    3. Threat Level Midnight

      What game are you watching?

      1. Utopsis

    1. Dacra
      • 9 Years

      No. A

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years

  7. Pep Roulette

    Would love another from Mason!

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

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

      Assist for Martial will do

  8. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bruno to Greenwood and it’s dream world

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

    Martial is really a changed player. Was the one that pressed Mings for the 2nd goal to start the counter, is everywhere, hustling. Amazing change in attitude and application.

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This is very true and I’m so happy

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

      Crazy what belief and confidence can do.

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

        See all Spurs players for further details

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Or Leicester back in the day

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Effort is the very least every football can do.

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

      I'm fine with that as long as he doesn't get any returns! Need to keep the lead in my mini league lol

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

      This, having service also helps.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years

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

      Looked really off pace since the restart.

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If we get away with Greenwood at anything below 7.5 next year he'll be an auto pick

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      100%.

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

      Sancho dependent.

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

        Yeah if Sancho comes I imagine Greenwood would rotate with Martial/Rashford.

      2. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Only got 50m net to spend acc to Athletic

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      what was kanes price the year after he broke in ?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Jumped up to 9.5 after his first 20 goal season

  12. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Without the knowledge of how many mins Man City players play, would you start Foden vs bha or Jimenez vs EVE next gameweek?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Trying to decide on this myself

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

      Tough. I have Ings or Foden decision. Probably cannot have Ings 9p twice on bench.

    Pope
    AWB, TAA, Saiss
    KDB, Foden, Mahrez, Bruno, Willian
    Auba, Rashford

    Losing Auba might cost me becasue he is hi owned in mini league (im 1st place at the moment)

  27. Sgt Frank Drebin

    Maybe Rashford plays better vs top6 when there is more space? I may be wrong but from what I remember all his double digit hauls were vs big sides.

  28. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford returns imminent surely
