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.

    My -4 barely above break even

    DCL, Rashford to Kane, Greenwood

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could be worse, my moves were DCL, Salah > Vardy, Foden(C) -4, the alternative that I didn't do was DCL, Rashford > Vardy, Greenwood -4 and that would've had Bruno(C).

      1. Buck The Trent

        Ouch

      2. Reg83
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        crazy to c foden. that was high risk

        1. Tempestic
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Should have paid off cant lie, that boy should have had a monster haul

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          It was but it was a desperation move. He had the highest xGI out of all City players didn't he? Should've had at least two goals.

      3. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah sorry to hear about this mate I went Bruno (c). At least Jesus and Mahrez delivered for us x

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Couldn't believe those Foden misses then of course the ultimate punishment with a huge Salah haul afterwards, it can still be painful even when I've given up lol x

  2. Vazza

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to start next gameweek -

    A. Foden vs bha
    B. Jimenez vs EVE

    Of course, no one knows how many mins Foden would play...

    1. JURGENAUT
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Foden, he's been missing sitters. Last game could have bagged 2 goals

    2. Reg83
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      foden will be benched

  3. martyhan
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

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

    Greenwood and Vardy other strikers

    1. Reg83
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      a & b next week

    2. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would save FT and do them for free when Puli play Norwich and Ings Bournemouth

  4. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Want to do

    Rash > Greenwood
    Nketiah > Ings

    Will cost -4

    Fancy Ings vs UTD defence

    Patricio
    Azpi TAA Doherty
    Salah(c) Mane Martial Fernandes Pulisic
    Ings Greenwood

    Button Aurier Connolly Robinson

    How is she looking?

  5. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kane to Vardy?

    1. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No brainer

  6. mr. inconspicuous
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Was thinking of Jimi to Vardy but now considering Rashford to Vardy which would enable me to get Martial in for Son, thoughts?

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

      Sounds good. I'm keeping Jimi too.

  7. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Maguire & Jimi to Digne & Greenwood for a -4?

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

    Bruno is averaging 9.1 points per match. I think that's cemented my captain choice then.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Been a tad lucky

    2. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could have had an extra assist if Martial's shot was an inch lower

  9. MiLK2018
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What's the chance of Vardy suspension, because of his foul on Mustafi? Plan to do Jimenez -> Vardy.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      None.

  10. checkit_j
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is taking a minus 4 worth getting greenwood?

    Or straight swap with rash?

  11. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to play, Antonio vs Norwich or Ings vs United

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Antonio

  12. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Might finally dump one of my three Sheffield United defs. Have 5.9 to spend.

    Is Digne best option to have?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Easily.

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

        Definitely - assuming you don't have Holgate already

      2. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Baines wont see a game before the end of the season will he considering Everton have very little to play for?

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      or Aurier.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have my eye on Tierney

  13. Fishy
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Dangerous to take out rash?

    1. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Him and Pogba look good but not as in on the action as the other three

  14. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Son, Kane, TAA, Rashford all let me down but I still got 90 points somehow

  15. Only a Hazard of time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is Seamus Coleman nailed? Can't afford Digne

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      wouldnt say nailed, Sidibe lurking

  16. Jones Kusi
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What do you think of Mahrez if you are chasing in ML?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Rest incoming

    2. Nerazzuro
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on if he's in their teams

      1. Jones Kusi
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He is not.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Good pick for any situation, I would think.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Will get rested at some point but that applies to all City attackers.

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Problem is Pep benchings

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

        In fairness though that applies to every outfield player

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Guess so

  17. Nerazzuro
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Gayle and rashford - > greenwood and vardy (captain) worth -4?

    1. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Championship-tier striker playing for a Steve Bruce side and an out of form striker for two in-form strikers, one of which is chasing the Golden Boot?

      1. Nerazzuro
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Haha I very rarely takes hits so a bit cautious. I see your point though and is part of my thinking. Thanks

        1. Only a Hazard of time
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I'm in the same boat, taking my 3rd hit of the season this GW haha

          1. Nerazzuro
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Sometimes it is necessary. What are your moves?

    Martinez Button

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Raniola carnage needed!

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

        Perhaps Raiola has been in covid lockdown

  24. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Will the decision on Bruno’s stamp be known before the deadline?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years

  27. G00LI0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Have had a blistering few weeks since Fpl started back. Knocking on top 10ks door. Looks like I'll hit the ton this week after baps. Still sitting on triple cap and free hit too. Tempted not to use FH. Feels like chasing when pretty happy with team. Anyone doing this?

  28. thebizzle
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hi just want any advice / opinions. Using my free hit, currently 30 points off mini league leader. Want to do a triple triple up...

    Schmeichel
    Trent Robertson Maguire Walker Justin
    Fernandes De Bruyne(v) Salah (c)
    Jesus Greenwood

    Martin / Saka / Connolly / Guendouzi

  29. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    First 8 players: 39 points
    3 MU players: 45 points

  30. HVT
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy or Mahrez?
