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.

    Jimenez to Vardy now and then Vardy to Ings the following week...or just straight to Ings?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Gotta punt on Vardy against Bournemouth surely. Leicester are far better than spurs.

      1. E25
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure its a "punt" at this stage. Lots are bringing him in.

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

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

        Not for me. Expect James to start one of the next two with Greenwood shifted to the left.

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

          If that happens, don't expect much from Greenwood or Utds attack in general.

    6. Sterling Malory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I've just done Rashford to Greenwood out of complete frustration, feels good.

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

      That's as clear as the Fernandes one, Rashford owners screwed again.

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

        Yeah wow

    8. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Which one next GW:

      A) Jimenez (EVE)
      B) Ings (manu)

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ings imo

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

        B

      3. Party time
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Jimmy because he is due & it’s pickford in goal 🙂

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

        I'll never forgive Rash for not scoring that

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

        All you morons on here forgetting Rash carried Man U the first 29 GWs.

        Can’t wait for his haul next match

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Won’t happen

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

        Terrible managing this week. Over thought chasing... captained Kane.... 100 all out.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Diddums

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

          Great score considering your captain blanked.

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

          Needs to link team?

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

          Start with a negative... check

        5. Lucy2019
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Sure.

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

          Time to resign

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

            Thinki g about it. My OR is atrocious! Been a bad season for sure.

      7. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Think I'll keep Rashford one more gw. Has been bit unlucky imo.

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

          He has been unlucky last 3 weeks.

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

          Rashford -> Vardy

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

          Greenwood is already better and more exciting

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

        Jimenez and Mahrez to Vardy and Foden for free?

      9. Borran
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Can you please help me decide?
        A) Jimenez -> Vardy + Doherty -> Söyüncü
        B) Jimenez -> Vardy + Doherty -> Saiss
        C) Jimenez -> Vardy + TAA -> Söyüncü
        D) Jimenez -> Vardy + TAA -> Saiss
        E) Jimenez -> Vardy + TAA -> Digne

      10. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Peter Schmeichel is right about the penalty. What is the point of VAR if not to correct a clear mistake

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

          This

        2. Jogsi

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Worst week ever.
        No Salah, no Greenwood, no Martial.
        Yes I have Rashford, Mane only in my ML.

        Anyone worse?

        1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Myself here apart from martial..55 all out..Is that OK?

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

            You won me.

      15. Dybala10
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don’t do Rashford to Greenwood they said, too sideways they said...

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

          ur in charge of ur own team man

          1. Dybala10
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I did the move, I’m talking about the chat on here

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          What did you think?

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

        Bruno Greenwood & DDG! Good job!

        1. JJO
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          +1

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

        Been another good gameweek for most of us I take it then? 87 points so far pending possible BPS from (C) Bruno and Greenwood.

      18. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        70 all out

      19. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Rash owners unlucky. Could've easily had a brace.

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

        77pts and still a rank drop of 2.5k. What the actual...

      21. Only a Hazard of time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I've decided that DCL to Greenwood is a no brainer, which unfortunately means I need to drop AWB to free up a Man United spot.

        Assuming money was irrelevant, which defender (TAA and Doherty withstanding) would you consider essential for next GW?

      22. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bruno 3
        Pogba 2
        Greenwood 1

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

          Final?

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

        Chance Mahrez starting?
