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.

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

        Tempted by Vardy but Bruno is just so consistent right now.

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

      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Seems like a no brainer but Southampton good away from home. Or Salah against Burnley?

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      His effective ownership will be enormous

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy v Bournemouth not under consideration?

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

    Who to drop for Vardy? 🙂

    1) Kane
    2) Rashford

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

      Ksne

    2. yer old da
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kane without a shadow - at least there’s goals galore in the Man U team

    3. Hawk Eye
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rash

    4. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m dropping Marcus and Jimi for Mason and Jamie.

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

      I was gonna do Rash to Vardy, but may have to swap for Greenwood now to cover rival.

    Commentator: Bruno hasn't had his best game, not his usual self.

    ... 1 Goal, 1 Assist 😆

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pen and a corner tho

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

      Need a rest end of

  6. Twisted Saltergater

    3 years, 8 months ago

    We have a gift in OGS as FPL managers. He darent rotate in case the wheels fall off.

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

      If it ain't broke for the love of God don't f*** with it

  7. Niho992

    World class diver rested for cheat haul vs Soton...

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

      Hahahahaha love your tears

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

    Time for Pogdab to show he is still the big playa

  9. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rashford is so wide hes literally just a decoy.

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

      I'm swapping for greenwood. Frees cash up for vardy

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

      For whatever reason it appears he's been instructed to hold wide and come inside much less than Greenwood - don't like it

  10. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bit depressing to own 3 Utd and watch rank drop by 1k

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

    Could do with a Rashford goal..

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, before I punt him.

  12. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bruno subbed

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

      Back on?

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry I’m behind 🙂

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

    15,15,14*

    Can he keep it up?

    Will he take the pen vs Southampton?

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Its Penchester United. He'll stub his toe against the goalpost and be awarded a Pen

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

    Son and Trent to Sterling and Taylor(-4)? Trent most likely rotated at the weekend and last 3 are tough. Leaves money for Guendouzi to Foden the following gameweek

  15. Mighty Banana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rashford, any chance? Or are waiting for me to remove so that you can haul?

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

      Quite possibly waiting

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

    Rashford, do something!

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Leicester vs Utd on the last day looking rather tasty

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

      can't wait! especially if top 4/5 rests on it

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

    Remember after the Sheff United game when people were considering selling Bruno. Now he's perma-captain. Things change quickly in FPL.

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

      No one actually sold, surely.

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

        The FFS article about Pogba's impact on Bruno combined with Martial's hattrick surely tempted a few early movers

  19. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hey fam! Save FT & GTG? 1.0 ITB

    DDG
    TAA Saiss Egan
    Salah Sterling(C) KDB Bruno Foden
    Jimenez Greenwood

    Nyland Stevens Lascelles Nketiah

    Jimenez to Ings next week!

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

      Of course save. Nice team

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate!

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

      GTG my friend

      Doing the same move!

      Also.. should I play Foden or Jimi?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers mate! Jimenez will start but Foden will come off the bench. But Foden can easily outscore Jimenez. Tough call! I'd go Jimenez only because he'll surely start!

  20. yer old da

    Kane > Vardy is possibly my easiest transfer of the season.

  21. konrad.sygula95
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys, what would you do with this squad ?
    How would you drop? Son? Jimenez?

    Foster/Button
    VVD/Lascelles/Aurier/Saiss/Simpson
    Salah(c) /Kdb/Fernandes/Guendouzi/Son
    Greenwood /Rashford/Jimenez

  22. Shankly611
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you swap Nketiah for Greenwood for a -4?

    Worried about KDB being on the bench next GW so I might start Greenwood ahead of him.

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

      Yes. Greenwood is nailed on

  23. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years

    1. Gomolon
      • 9 Years

  29. La Roja

    Greenwood and Martial coming off

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

      Time to switch off in that case.

    2. Gomolon
      • 9 Years
