Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made another tweak to his defence, which bodes well for managers playing the Free Hit chip in Gameweek 38+.

His latest changes to the Manchester United side look to have confirmed Brandon Williams (£3.8m) can be a starting defender on the final day of the season, costing less than £4.0m.

The young left-back missed a recent trip to Crystal Palace with a head injury but has recovered to deputise for the also sidelined Luke Shaw (£5.4m) against West Ham.

Williams return to the team has also impacted on Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m), who drops out of the starting XI to join the substitutes for the first time since Project Restart began.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah (£4.5m) was the man tasked with United’s left-back role at Selhurst Park but, rather than immediately return him to the bench, Solskjaer has switched him onto the right, preferring him to Wan-Bissaka.

That decision could cause deep frustration throughout the Fantasy community with the £5.5m still owned by 19.5% of managers worldwide.

There is much less consternation elsewhere in Wednesday’s first round of team sheets with Bruno Fernandes (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£8.5m), the top 10k’s most popular Gameweek 37+ captains both starting for Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) and Mason Greenwood (£4.8m) are the men either side of Martial, while Michail Antonio (£7.1m) leads the West Ham line once again with Sebastien Haller (£6.8m) still on the bench.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; B Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Fosu-Mensah; Matić, Pogba; Rashford, B Fernandes, Greenwood; Martial.

West Ham United XI (4-5-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Diop, Johnson; Fornals, Rice, Noble, Soucek, Bowen; Antonio.

    bottomed:

    Aaah, awful. Capt Bruno and Rashy booked, hopeless.
    Now my dilemma. My 1Ft was to be Saiss for Tarkowski for a likely 6 pointer.
    Alternatively I could do the tran I should have done weeks ago: Bruno to Martial.

    Which one guys and guyesses?

    Firming only 8 goals in league this season! Could Pool not go up another gear with a striker that scores loads. Must be someone out there who plays a similar way they can bring in to give him some competition

    Chasing my mini league rival for the final round and is 19 points behind. Considering taking a hit for Doherty and Jimi > Aurier and Kane.
    Might work imo.
    Current team

    Patricio
    Doherty - Taa - Bardsley
    Sterling - Mahrez - KDB - Martial - Bruno
    Greenwood - Jimi
    Button , Connolly, lascelles, Holgate
