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.

    Martinez
    TAA • Doherty • Kiko
    Salah • Martial • KDB • Bruno
    Jimmy • Rash • DCL
    (3.9, Foden, Holgate, Lascelles)

    1. Rashers

      Definitely

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

      Think I'm doing exact same move. Makes sense.

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        half the planet is doing that move tonight

        including me

        1. BeaversWithAttitude
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Except for the smart ones who did it last week, lol.

    3. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Without a doubt

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

    Jimenez out for Vardy
    Or
    Salah out for Sterling

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

      why would you remove Salah

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

        Hates owning top scorer in fpl??

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

      Jiminez out

      Though I am looking forward to owning Sterling this week

  4. Lucas8406
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Get Dendoncker for bench fodder or Foden to rotate with Greenwood

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

      Why??

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

    Patricio
    Doherty TAA AWB (Taylor Simpson)
    KDB Salah Bruno Foden Pulisic
    Jimenez Rashford (Nketiah)

    Rashford & Jimenez for Greenwood & Vardy worth a -4?

  6. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Captain Mane, Vardy, or Bruno?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Mane

      • Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No Bruner

      • The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy

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

      Captain mane over fernandes?

      Bruno wont be on penos next game and soton in good form

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

        What makes you think that he won't be on pens?

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

        Good god no

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Penalty situation isn't necessarily one go each but Liverpool at home and Mane almost certain to start

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

        Would you quit FPL if you had son and Mane!?

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

          Hahahahahahaha, you're taking this game way to seriously.

          No I would jump in the bath with a toaster

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

          I have them and Rashford too. Getting son and rash out. Keeping Mane for one more week.

        4. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          no, go crazy and Mane (C)

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

        I can't have Rashford in my team one more minute.

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

          He's been poor recently. Was United's best player before his injury

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

        Is the Maguire to Greenwood switch worth a -4 hit?

        Maguire to Digne and Nketiah to Greenwood

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

          Yes

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

        100pts this GW if Bruno and Ings retain 3bps. Gotta be pleased with that!

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

          Wow, congrats!

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

            Cheers mate. Given how cyclical FPL is I'm probably due about 30pts total next GW

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

          I was on 19 earlier with Doherty TAA KDB mane Son Foden

        3. TRIPOS TOPPER
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          since the Everton game finished about 2 hours ago I think you're safe on Ings...

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

            V true!

      8. fplking14
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pulisic or Willian?

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

        Here is one tough captain choice, who would you cap out of those?

        A) Fernandes (sou)
        B) Vardy (bou)
        C) Sterling (bha)

        Im chasing about 15pts, rival doesnt have Sterling nor vardy

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            15 points is nothing stick with bruno as he will and sterling and vardy will help you overtake

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

            Captain Fernandes then and hope your differentials will be enough.

          • Bartowski
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Its between Vardy and Fernandes for me as well. Southampton have looked very good recently, Bournemouth have not.

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

          Bruno’s xG & xA will be dragged out again 😆

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

          I’d have cleared 100 points easily if I swapped my cv and c or wolves kept a CS...

        4. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Rashford not confident not shooting?

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

            Rashford has become the Rooney of this team Rooney pushed out of position to the left wing because he was the weakest out of Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo. Rashford is the same with Martial and Greenwood

          Not sure what to do here. Would like a Chelsea mid and Vardy but not sure i'd drop any of my current mids. Jimenez is the one who probably needs to go. 1FT and £0.9m ITB. Save or get vardy for a hit? Would you drop any of the mids for a chelsea mid?

          Pope, Martin
          TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Femenia, Lascelles
          Mane, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Martial
          Jimenez, Ings, Greenwood

          1. keefy59
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Martial & Jiminez to Vardy & Pulisic or Willian if the budget allows
            Next problem would be who to bench !

        6. T.Henry14
          • 10 Years

          Captain headache next gweek

          A) Mane (BUR)
          B) Bruno (SOU)
          C) Martial (SOU)
          D) KDB (bha)
          E) Vardy (bou)
          F) Greenwood (SOU)

          I'm on Vardy, just a feeling

                1. @persecuted_by_mods

                    You've not seen him play a single pass successfully?

                Its not, do you have Greenwood already?

                Kane to a traffic cone would be an improvement...

              If I have no ambition for OR and competing only with rival and need to be agressive, that's good moves?

              Rashford, AWB, Foden, Son to ----> Greenwood, Taylor, Martial, Sterling (-12)

              Already own Bruno & DDG.

              Would be a -4 to go alongside Ings & Vardy.

              Connolly and AWB -> Greenwood and Aurier (free). Good call? Have my BB.

              Pope / Martinez
              TAA / Walker / AWB / Saiss / Holgate
              Salah / Fernandes / Pulisic / Mahrez / KDB

              Would allow me to do Son > Sterling next week.

              Or should I wait and do Son > Willian/Pulisic?

                  As then it will allow me to do Son > Sterling next GW
