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.

      WBA - West Bromwich Albion?

      too late to get bruno

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Too late to gate bruno. Same was said last week and the week before that... he has so far been the best point scorer in the entire game by some margin...

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

        Umm - why too late exactly?

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

      1

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

      you just getting Bruno now.......write the season off mate

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

    What we thinking? (Would add martial or Ings in to the opposite combo following week)

    A. Sterling and ings
    B. Martial and vardy

  3. AC Yew
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Those with Triple Man City what you doing? Ive got Mahrez KDB and Foden. 2 of those might not start.

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

      Same problem but only 1FT

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

        Going to do Rash to Greenwood, so maybe Foden to Puli/Willian

      2. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep like wise. Thought about it but cant decide between the two

    2. Reg83
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      i sold mahrez for sterling. have kdb

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have all 3 but no Bruno. They have Bmouth at home after next gw is the problem.

      1. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep. Not a fan of hokey cokey. Chasing hoping to close a 30+ gap so cant risk any non starters

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

    Sat at 11k but with dcl rashford and jimenez
    Jimmy to vardy still the best move?
    Already have triple united
    Leaves just enough to get Ings in 36

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

      Get Ings now even for a -4.

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

        Nah don't do Ings this week for - 4. Best you can realistically hope for against Utd is 1 goal and his usual 3bps - so upside of 3pts. Downside could be much larger than 3.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yup

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

      Fantastic achievement to reach that rank (with that forward line !)

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

      I have the same front 3... just swapped Rashford out for greenwood for funds. Now I’m trying to decide if I need to swap out jimmy or DCL for Varys or Ings?

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

    Was pogba injured at the end there?

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Think he got right up

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

    Vardy, jesus or Ings.

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy for 1 gw then Ings

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

        That's my thinking.

        Do I take rashford out or jimi out?

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ings

    3. Party time
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I prefer Vardy vs the cherries

    4. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maguire, DCL, Jimi to Digne, Vardy, Greenwood -4?

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

        Like it

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

        considering the same move for -8. Maybe azpil over Digne for me.

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

        Should pay off

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

      Guys, Vardy isnt going to be banned for that foul right? Gonna transfer him in

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Unlikely, but don't make the move yet

    6. BEEZUS
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Best sub 6.5m striker that isnt Greenwood?

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

        Giroud?

      2. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Deeney

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

      Christ. Third red arrow in a row with 72. Gone from 9k to outside 20k but mainly annoyed about going from 40 points ahead of ML rival to being 50 behind. He’s had back to back 100+ scores past couple of weeks. WTF?!

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

      Scores? 84 here

      1. Ginkapo FPL

          Im sure that was brave not stupid

        86 fam

        Man U game gave me:
        28+6+6 = 40

        Soton
        9

      4. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        88 needed that after the disappointments of Salah last week and Mahrez sub

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

        93 points. Mostly thanks to Bruno (C) Greenwood/Martial/Vardy/Hendersen/Egan/Pulisic

    9. gers23
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      48 point lead at this point a decent lead? Rival still has bench boost though

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes but id still be looking over my shoulder, i still am and im nearly 100 clear

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

      With Rashford playing 90 and not looking anything like his best, is Daniel James would a punt for Monday?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Unchanged team throught. Ole ain't pissing about.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Fell for it

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

        Ighalo seems essential

      3. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No way

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

        all those Man U options and you pick James???????????????????

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

        great bantz....

    11. Sargasso C
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mason Greenwood is KILLING me. Whats frustrating is Rashford has been incredibly unlucky. Two goals disallowed in two weeks, Wan Bissaka missing a sitter.

      To get Greenwood in I need to take a hit which feels wrong. So frustrating as my opponent in my mini league used Greenwood as a filer when he played his wildcard and stuck gold.

      So much of this game is down to luck

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

        He's NOT unlucky.

        He was offside vs Bournemouth. His shot was going to be saved until an offside Pogba diverted it in. His chance was Villa at the end was a poor finish.

        I'll give you AWB assist, but that is 3 points.

      2. checkit_j

        not owning a 4.3m nailed on talent of the century has nothing to do with luck

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          • 10 Years

          Talent of the century ha

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

        Why would you need to take a hit if you own Rashford?

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

        Having Greenwood isn't luck mate, obvious pick at his price point

      6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Just hold Rashford for another few weeks

        It’ll even out eventually

        Rashford will hattrick & all will be well with the world again

      7. The Mighty Hippo
        • 7 Years

    14. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      49k -> 98k in one gameweek. Guessing that should be top 10k aspirations totally out of the window

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

        EO is destroying ranks.

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I was in the 30k’s just before Egan’s goal

        Fast forward 24 hours & it’s mid-50’s

        It’s a slippery slope we try to climb

    15. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Is Aurier injured or that sub was tactical?

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He fell on his arm but played some minutes after that. Will have to wait for presser.

    16. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      91 all out.. pretty decent. Teams are starting to look very template from now on though, and it's difficult to make proper gains.

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

        Yeh, frustrating isnt it

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

        It's all about captain choice. Rival captained Mo while I captained KDB. Gained 11 points on me with that desision.

        1. Crouching Tiger
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yes, would have been over 100 this week if I captained Salah instead of Fernandes... but this game is all about ifs and buts. Captain choice crucial.

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

          but captaincy is like 70% luck

    17. EL tridente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Who to start?
      A) Saka
      B) Egan

    18. Reg83
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      got 72 pts but drop from 305 to 308k.

      i guess having mane over salah cost me

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

        Very unlucky. Another week could have been Mane with the haul.

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

      Mane out to free up funds for Vardy this week.Who to get in for him for next 3GW:

      A) Willian
      B) Pulisic
      C) Antonio

      1. E25

        ofc not! Rash should have scored today too.

        I think so

        1. mr. inconspicuous

          Thinking the same

          Absolutely

      3. tricky80
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Rashford Jimenez to Abraham Greenwood for a -4? Thinking Tammy gets a run, already have Vardy.

        1. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bloody Rashford. How did he miss that chance at the end and Pogba freaking going offside to block another shot. So unlucky.

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

          NOT unlucky. He is not as good as Martial and Greenwood. Hence shoved off to the left to do a job and protect Shaw,. If you look at the heat maps you will see the difference between Greenwood and Rashford and where they receive the ball.

        2. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          And AWB missing the sitter..

      6. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheat Bruno stole bps from Greenwood finish 99 points with BB. If only wolves kept that CS with Doherty and Saiss
