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.

    1. Hold FT this week?
    2 or Pullisic to Dilva
    3.or Vardy to Auba
    4. or both for a -4?

    Pope
    TAA Fernandez Doherty
    Salah Martial Bruno Foden
    Vardy Greenwood Jesus
    Martinez Pullisic Aurier Diop

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

    Tough watch as a Bruno no cap, but Ill take the 6

  8. EWH2020
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood to Rashford was such a terrible move...

    Is it worth a FT to reverse it back!!??

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

    Pulisic > Dilva for 1 week punt prior to FH38?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

    2. squits
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      same idea

    3. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't personally. Liverpool giving up a lot of chances. Pulsic a decent pick this week

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

      Sure he'll play ?

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

      I actually quite fancy Pulisic vs Liverpool. Dilva I reckon rested for 37

    6. squits
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      sorry I thought you meant for gw38.
      I wouldnt do this for 37

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

        Ok, thanks all

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed repost

    Number 1 defender for GW37+?? Any money

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

      Ha ha
      I'm in the market too

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

    That Bruno post was irritating..cap Bruno with rash and awb went good though.

  12. Steinburg FC
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FH team 4 points up with Antonio to play so i'd settle for a hatrick this time.
    Had Silva cap all week but last min put in Sterling for him and C Puli... looking forward to next season already!

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

    Mad that Rashford only outscores Martial by 4 points there, felt like a lot more.

    The power of the mid, basically two free BAPs for Martial.

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

      Yes
      Glad they have 5 mids spots 😀

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah. I’m so baffled why I went Rashford over Martial on WC all those weeks back. Obviously I’ve switched it around now and I’m still losing out haha but still Martial is the obvious pick

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

      Martial misses baps after updates

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

        oh u meant cs n goal got u

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

    Justin getting 1 or 2 baps?

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

      0 when Thomas is added.

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

        apparently so, that sucks he was on max baps when the game ended. Now 0 :s

  15. Whazza

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

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

    Chasing in Mini league, best differential option for nxt 2

    B Auba

    1. squits
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I asked the same earlier. I'm leaning towards kane as a chaser

  17. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Willian / pulisic out for Dilva in 37 worth it?

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

    Lindelof mocking Maguire owners with 2 bps!

  19. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martial is killing my rank every week!

    -4 to switch Foden to Martial (C) is no brainer now?!

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

      Yes

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

      It's two gws left, just enjoy

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

        Foden hauls vs Wat or NOR and you're looking silly with that -4

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

      Same!
      DDG is blocking to get him.
      Sold Rashford 2 weeks ago to Greenwood have also been one of worst decisions.

  20. Evil Greg
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    70 points...best gw rank this season! Free hit might win me my mini league lol.

  21. Slitherene

    • 9 Years

    My free hit team earned me 6 points on what my regular team would've got me this week. Not bad, not bad at all.

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

      3 for me 🙂

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

      Bench boost earned me 5 points

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

      Ouch. No d.silva then. Mine would have beaten my regular team by 17pts+Antonio. Maybe should have pressed that button. Hopefully wk 38 is a baller!

  25. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What transfer is better for the next two?

    a) Rashford to Auba

    b) Greenwood to Chris Wood

    I own Bruno as well.

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

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

      Something wrong with Puli and Vardy?

      1. Babelcopter
        • 5 Years

        tough fixtures

  27. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tell me I’m not alone when I say that I put a lot of thought into my team every week while my only ML rival hasn’t changed his team in 5 weeks and continues to haul?

    1. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yup

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

      No need to change a good team. If it ain't broken don't fix it

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

    Ings(c)??

  29. InSaneMan-e
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood-->Rashford the way to go. May seem sideways but Marcus is back whilst greenwood is shattered.

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

      He needs few chances to score. Looks tired though yeah ..
      Have a feeling He'll sit fa cup out & james would be there for counter attack

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yep your right. Hope one of shaw/Williams aren't out for all the games

  30. Marmalade Forest
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago
