Fosu-Mensah in for Shaw as Solskjaer makes changes but Greenwood is passed fit

Gameweek 36+ continues at a furious pace, with two more Premier League matches kicking off at 20:15 BST this evening.

There is a lot riding on this evening’s games from a Fantasy perspective, too, particularly at Selhurst Park.

Manchester United are the visitors to Crystal Palace, while in tonight’s other fixture, there is a clash between two south coast clubs as Brighton and Hove Albion face Southampton at the Amex.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had named an unchanged starting XI in his previous five league games but that run has come to an end this evening, with the Norwegian making two alterations to his line-up.

Mason Greenwood (£4.9m) isn’t among the changes, however, with the youngster passed fit to start after an ankle knock.

The injured Brandon Williams (£3.9m) and Luke Shaw (£5.4m) are both unable to feature, so Timothy Fosu-Mensah – not priced up by FPL at kick-off – is given the nod at left-back.

Scott McTominay (£4.8m) is in for Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) in Solskjaer’s only other alteration.

Bruno Fernandes (£9.1m), Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) and Anthony Martial (£8.4m) all start.

Fernandes was the third-most-captained player of Gameweek 36+, both overall and in the top 10,000.

A whopping 91.6% of the top 10k own the Portuguese midfielder, while Martial and Greenwood also sit in more than one in two squads among this elite group.

For the Eagles, the suspended Christian Benteke (£5.7m) is replaced by Andros Townsend in the attack.

That will likely see Jordan Ayew (£5.1m) moving centrally in the Belgian’s absence.

There are a whopping 11 changes in total at the Amex.

After naming the same team three matches in a row, Ralph Hasenhuttl has made five alterations for the trip to Brighton.

Danny Ings (£7.5m) starts but Ryan Bertrand (£4.8m), Jack Stephens (£4.4m), Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.4m), Che Adams (£5.3m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m) are benched.

Jake Vokins (£4.0m), Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m), Will Smallbone (£4.5m), Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.8m) are recalled.

Ever the tinkerer, Graham Potter has brought Neal Maupay (£5.7m), Tariq Lamptey (£4.1m), Dan Burn (£4.5m), Dale Stephens (£4.4m), Solly March (£4.6m) and Glenn Murray (£5.4m) back into his side after the 5-0 defeat against Manchester City.


Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Ward, Sakho, Dann, van Aanholt; McArthur, Milivojevic, McCarthy; Townsend, Zaha, Ayew.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelöf, Fosu-Mensah; McTominay, Pogba; Greenwood, B Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Ward-Prowse, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Vokins; Smallbone, Højbjerg; Romeu, Redmond; Ings, Obafemi.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Lamptey, Dunk, Webster, Burn; March, Stephens, Propper, Trossard; Maupay, Murray.

    AWB is such a garbage attacker, why do they try to force it on him? No idea why the signed AWB, he will never be good going forward

      Palace leave him free as a trap. Clueless on the ball.

      Looked great with Palace cause he just had to defend. Poor fullback if your team have possession.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly, great defender if all he has to do is defend. No idea who scouted AWB for Man U if they wanted an attacking RB, hsi strength is defending

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

      Clever from Palace leaving him as the spare man

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

    Can’t believe people think AWB is better than Trent. Boggles my mind

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

      Literally no one has ever said that.

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

        Plenty of people. I’ve seen too many polls where AWB got more votes than Trent

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

          Please provide a link to these 'many polls'

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

            Can’t put up link on phone but if you look up polls between them on Twitter you’ll find AWB winning some

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

          Never

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

      Someone actually said that ?

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

      Who in their right mind would ever say that? Lol

    4. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years

      Don’t make things up because you guys have been exposed as frauds

    5. Cilly Bonnolly

      United fan. No one thinks that. Come on.

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

      Maybe a year or 18 months ago it could be a legit question.

    7. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      one is a crossing merchant, the other a tackling merchant - both one-trick ponies?

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

        This is true.

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

        Trent is better defensively than AWB offensively although I agree AWB is the better defender

  9. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This is not the Crystal Palace I was looking for.

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

      Games like this why I didn’t want to go 3 Utd attack. Never going to be 3-0 every week!

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

    0-0 and 0-1 Brighton would sum this GW up nicely

  11. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ings offside?

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

    Game sounds like Vardy game all over again! Score one Maguire! Could be massive for my team a 15pter from him

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years

      What does “(B)runo” mean?

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        The B is silent

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Like (B)Rooney?

          1. Robson-Canoe
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Like Bronaldo

  15. Ady87

    Rashford greedy there, could have played in Greenwood a few seconds earlier.

  16. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    Ayew kidding me...

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)

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

      looks for the easy option to much for me

  19. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Maguire should have had a couple by now. Every corner he's getting to it.

  20. super zlatan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Chances of a Bruno brace and a sir Harold of Maguire goal?
    🙁

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

      Maguire is the biggest threat so far ,

  21. Says
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bruno frustrated, took a pointless shot

  22. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I don't think commentators should use the word fisted.

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

      I'd be happy if Glen Hoddle stopped using all words

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Did they say this GW has fisted us?

    3. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Well then what do you want the commentators to say when someone gets fisted on the pitch?

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

        Describe their feelings for each other.

    4. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I don't think posters on this forum should use the word fisted. 😉

    Up till now, Pulisic is the only one who hasn't blanked in my team

    Would call myself to believe this when Chelsea played Norwich

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

    All the attackers who haven't had a rest look paggered except maybe Martial. Fresh legs needed.

    GW38 will be even slower than this borefest of a GW, everyone just wants to go to sleep.
