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.

    1. Magic Zico

      • 5 Years

      No way not captaining him from here on

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

    I don't see it, but United losing that CS would be phenomenal

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

      Ain't gonna happen

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

      Ah no. C’mon he already got a yellow at least give me my 5 points!

    3. Gomolon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I hope not, been waiting for AWB to give me something

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

    That weird feeling when your player is racking up the points but your OR isn’t improving because you didn’t cap him!

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      And your rival did

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

        Goes without saying!

  5. Budweiser
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    And to think Bruno missed that header too. He could've beat Salahs tally on another day. He's so involved!

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

      Could have? Could still.

  6. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pogba pushes Maguire out of the bps. Damn

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

    United are ridiculous going forward - City and Liv be very afraid

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

    New tactic..

    Leave the armband on Bruno

    Forget about FPL

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

      Similar tactic to mine.

      Go without Bruno.

      Forget about FPL

        Same.

        Log out.

        Forget about FPL

    Kane owners selling for Benteke(c) vs Villa next?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah considering it

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

      I’m moving Ayew to first bench

  10. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    It's been said before but United is a complete different with Bruno in there

    1. Gomolon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It is crazy how much one player has changed their team

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hard to believe!

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

      Pogba & Bruno makes some difference to Lingard & Andreas.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No sh*t 🙂

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      One player has turned them into a side unable to beat Bournemouth away into a team that is crushing by 3+ goals a game. Incredible.

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

        We have a manager that's done the exact opposite on a similar timeframe

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Incredible is the word. Not a fan but I enjoy watching them play now. Long time ago!

    Grealish broken

    1. Hybrid.power

      Or not

    2. Gomolon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      have you tried turning it off and on again?

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Was turned off during lockdown
        Still doing an update

  12. Lukakuna
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What's Rash doing? Not involved in anything

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Chalking his boots

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

      Playing so wide left he might as well be in the stands

      1. Lukakuna
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Listed as wing back next season then

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's had chances. Had a goal disallowed that might have gone in. A nice little assist for AWB that was fluffed. He's still a better pick than any other striker in the game bar Greenwood imo.

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

        Ings is a better pick. Jesus is a better pick. Vardy is a better pick. Auba is a better pick.

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This is comical lol

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

            Other than Jesus, I make him right.

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

        And Ings probably. Think I'll wildcard him out this week anyway

  13. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bruno (C) next week locked! He is everywhere.

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

      Only next week?

    2. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, (C) last 3 weeks.

  14. Slim25

    3 years, 8 months ago

    *Repost*

    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)

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

    Martinez
    Trent • Doherty • Digne
    Salah • KDB • Bruno • Son
    Rashford • Jimmy • Greenwood

    Son and Trent to Sterling and Taylor(-4)? Will do Jimmy and Guendouzi to Ings and Foden next week. Trent most likely rotated and last 3 are tough. Could get Aurier but Ings will rise

  16. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Need something from Greenwood or Rashford for a green arrow ... it’s tough going

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

    Bruno broke the python.

    Also dammit didn’t realise he had EO over 100 so not captaining is hurting every time he returns. Stop now!!

    Give Greenwood and Rashford the goals!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      **Martial

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

        No ta

      2. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years

        😉

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Is this EO for top 10k only?

  18. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Next season will be more exiting with more options and difficult decisions
    It’s pretty simple right now
    Chelsea, Utd, City attacks could be great

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

      I am very excited for the likes of Werner and Ziyech, will likely have at least one in my team if priced fairly and with good fixtures. Bruno too of course, and hoping Greenwood is max 6.5m

  19. Utopsis
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Glad to hear professional footballers swear as much as your average Sunday league team 😀

  20. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

    Tony grab one

    Best ST in prem

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      😆

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Might as well give us next years title now.

  21. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy (-4) or Jimenez next week?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would. I'm fed up Jimenez.

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        *would do the -4 for Vardy

  22. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Despite owing Fernandes and Rashford - I'm seeing a red arrow from THIS match... I was +20k spaces at K.O. now -5K... I reckon a rashford goal would set me right, or Williams coming on for an added point.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I need a Rashford goal, badly.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Red arrow for me as well with Fernandes and Greenwood

  23. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Superb this from Ole, showing everyone if it’s not broke don’t fix it to all these teams rotating far too much

    1. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He makes nice subs, gives rest during the game

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly, start your strongest team and rest players once you’re cruising.

        Much better than not starting them, ruining the fluidity of the team and then desperately trying to get them on to rescue a match

  24. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So many captain options this weekend
    Fernandes
    Salah/mane
    Vardy

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

      Bruno

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling maybe best of them, I'll go with him

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

    In last 8 United goals just one involment by Trashford

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Stop that

  26. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I hate players like Fernandes, fantasy assists, penalties, long shots, free kicks.

    I own him, but I'm gutted really.

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

    Fernandes is better than KDB there I said it

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

      Small sample size.

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Behave

    3. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He’s clear

      So is pogba

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

      He’s not. But he could be

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

      Yeah, great player for top 4 but not even close good as Jordan Henderson

  28. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Damn Williams coming on and blocking my Egan points.....

  29. martyhan
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A. Marhez to pulisic
    B. Jimi to Ings
    C. Both for -4

    Greenwood and Vardy are my other strikers

  30. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Just to let you know I will captain Bruno this weekend and he will blank.

    1. Champions League Varane
