Cavani leads the line for Man United in the Blank Gameweek

Edinson Cavani (£7.8m) has been chosen to lead the line for Manchester United in Blank Gameweek 18, with Paul Pogba (£7.7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m) featuring in an attacking line-up.

Either side of Cavani will be Anthony Martial (£8.8m) and the in-form Marcus Rashford (£9.6m), with Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) chosen to anchor the midfield.

Eric Bailly (£4.9m) now looks to have made the starting position his own, as he partners Harry Maguire (£5.4m) in the centre of defence, with Luke Shaw (£4.8m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) at full back.

David De Gea (£5.3m) returns in goal, after Dean Henderson (£5.2m) deputised for the Spaniard in the cup.

Burnley field their standard 4-4-2 formation with Sean Dyche hoping to stay compact against Man United.

The familiar front two of Chris Wood (£6.2m) and Ashley Barnes (£6.0m) start up top, with Dwight McNeil (£5.7m) losing his place to Johann Gudmundsson (£5.4m) and Robbie Brady (£5.0m) starting on the left.

Ashley Westwood (£5.3m) and Josh Brownhill (£4.9m) continue in the centre of midfield

Ben Mee (£4.9m) and James Tarkowski (£5.3m) partner at centre-back, with Matt Lowton (£4.4m) and Erik Pieters (£4.3m) at full-back.

Nick Pope (£5.4m) hopes to continue his impressive form in goal.

With injury keeping out Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.8m), Everton look to be deploying Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) in an unfamiliar false nine role.

They’re also lining up in an unfamiliar back five, with Yerry Mina (£5.6m), Michael Keane (£5.1m) and Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) at centre-half.

Lucas Digne (£6.0m) returns to the side at left wing-back, with Mason Holgate (£4.8m) chosen to operate on the opposite flank.

Aiding Sigurdsson in attack will be James Rodriguez (£7.7m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.9m).

Tom Davies (£5.2m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.3m) will start in midfield.

Adama Traore (£6.1m) is completely missing from the Wolves attack which features Fabio Silva (£5.2m), Pedro Neto (£6.0m) and Morgan Gibbs-White (£4.9m) fresh from returning from loan.

Joao Moutinho (£5.2m) looks to be taking up a more advanced role behind the attacker, with Ruben Neves (£5.2m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.7m) in behind.

Roman Saiss (£5.1m) and Conor Coady (4.9m) start in the heart of the Wolves defence, flanked by Rayan Ait Nouri (£5.0m) and Nelson Semedo (£5.4m).

The ever-present Rui Patricio (£5.4m) continues in goal for Wolves.

Man Utd XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Bailly, Shaw; Matic, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial; Cavani


Burnley XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Gudmundsson, Westwood, Brownhill, Brady; Barnes, Wood

Everton XI: Pickford, Holgate, Mina, Keane, Godfrey, Digne; Doucoure, Davies, Sigurdsson, Iwobi; James

Wolves XI: Patricio: Semedo, Coady, Saiss, Ait-Nouri, Neves, Dendoncker, Neto, Moutinho, Gibbs White, Silva

    Bruno has scored a goal in every game he gets a yellow card.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not against Sheffield

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sheffield United

      2. Black Knights
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He didn’t get a YC vs Sheffield?

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

      Nice to know

  11. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick

    ref didn't free hit his team this week

  12. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno is long overdue a red

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      this

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You not own him?

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I do.

  13. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why is everyone celebrating Bruno YC? Surely nearly everyone has him, especially in the blank?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      His EO is above 100%

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        So we win rank by yellow cards

        1. Gobigorgohome
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          thisss

      2. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Highest EO of all players in my tier (100-200k) in fact

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      EO

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ah that little chestnut

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

      EO over 100

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't captain him and his EO is more than 100 in certain rank tiers.

    5. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone's celebrating about anything here

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Quite surprised given KdB and Kane/Son’s fixture

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

          not really when ownership is close to 100 without caps

    6. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And it's going to hurt if he now misses FUL or SHU

  14. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno is owned by everyone so the yellow card is good for non captainers

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yes

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bad for all Bruno owners - dodgy captain next week or might end up missing gw20 v SHU

  15. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Liverpool must be sh*tting themselves.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      LOL

  16. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw better not get subbed off ffs

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      it's written

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        in the stars 😉

  17. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Switching Son out for Rashford looking a real stupid move , oh well only 1 week and he's history

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Could be worse, Son hasn't played yet 😛

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Aye still a way to go just don't like him in my team I guess

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You did that before finding out about Spurs v Fulham re-arranged I’m guessing (hoping)?

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nope sat with Son in draft FH up until today , trying to be a little clever ( stupid)

  18. yousunkmybattleship
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Free hit working well so far

    5 from 5...

  19. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane and bobby read to VARDY and Antonio (-4) and hit BB ?

    1. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't touch the BB button until 5min before deadline

  20. JJO
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    And now im annoyed that i even thought of going Maguire + Sterling instead of Stones + Bruno

  21. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is liverpool v Burnley in dgw going to stay 2 days before cup game against Utd!? Surely they move it back a day. Annoying as a Mane+Salah owner if they don’t.

  22. saurabh.06
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    As a shaw and Mguire owner, really gutted with that disallowed goal.

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Shaw is coming off at half time for telles so we got more missery

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

      Very unlucky

  23. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno red would actually be fantastic, would make FH19 so much more viable with one highly owned asset removed from the game. Make it happen Burnley!

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Talking to you Ashley Barnes

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Simple swap Bruno to Salah and keep Son

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agree. Decision made for us

  24. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What is the rule with var regarding a foul in the build up to a goal?

    Example, say shaw does the foul, the game goes on, ball doesnt go out of play for like 5 mins, then utd score(unlikely scenario i know) Does it get taken back that long.
    Seems a bit ridiculous if so

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

      Same passage of play

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        What does that mean? Same passage of play.
        Whatever the ref decides?

        Seems ambiguous.

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      it happened once I believe
      not 5 mins but like 2 or 3 mins

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Honestly haven’t got a clue what’s going on anymore

  25. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This game needs Telles

    And Martial subbing for McTominay

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Greenwood

  26. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That Bruno YC made my rank jump by 5k!

  27. Euro Raiders
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Perfectly good Maguire goal. Football going soft.

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

      just a clueless ref. VAR should have overruled him but they are too cowardly for that.

  28. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw owner and Bruno captainer.

    Not feeling particularly lucky this week

  29. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno late pen + 3 BPS on Friday incoming
