Bruno Fernandes breaks captaincy record as he starts for Man United

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be anxiously watching Bruno Fernandes (£11.4m) who has been captained by a record 2,715,840, the highest amount ever recorded.

Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) start out wide with Anthony Martial (£8.8m) playing through the middle.

David McGoldrick (£5.2m) will be hoping to add Manchester United to his big six scalps this season.

Club legend Billy Sharp (£5.5m) starts up front with McGoldrick.

The Blades midfield has a familiar look, with John Lundstram (£4.9m), John Fleck (£5.6m) and Oliver Norwood (£4.6m) in central midfield. Kean Bryan (£3.9m) and George Baldock (£4.9m) start at wing-back.

Phil Jagielka (£3.9m), Chris Basham (£4.6m) and Ethan Ampadu (£4.3m) start at centre-back, with Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m) in goal.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) will be hoping to fire himself back into form after breaking his goal drought in the FA Cup.

James Rodriguez (£7.7m) and Richarlison (£7.8m) join DCL. Tom Davies and Andre Gomes (£5.3m) line-up in midfield.

Lucas Digne (£6.0m) and Mason Holgate (£4.8m) start in defence, with Yerry Mina (£5.6m) and Michael Keane (£5.1m) and Ben Godfrey (£5.0m). Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) continues in goal.

Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) continues in a false nine role for Leicester in the absence of Jamie Vardy (£10.0m).

James Maddison (£7.2m), Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) line-up behind Perez.

Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) start in the heart of the Leicester midfield.

James Justin (£5.0m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) line-up at full-back, with Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.5m) at centre-back. Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m) plays in goal.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m) leads the line for Brighton tonight in a six-pointer at the bottom of the table.

Supporting Maupay are Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£5.3m), with Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) and Pascal Groß (£5.8m) in midfield.

Joel Veltman (£4.3m) and Solly March (£5.0m) are selected at wing-back. Ben White (£4.4m) moves back into defence, with Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) and Andy Webster (£4.4m).

Robert Sanchez (£4.4m) is Brighton’s number one.

Ivan Cavaleiro (£4.3m) continues in a false-nine role for Scott Parker’s Fulham side.

Either side of Cavaleiro will be Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.3m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m).

Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) and Harrison Reed (£4.4m) start in midfield for the Cottagers.

Ola Aina, Tosin Adarabioyo, Joachim Andersen and Kenny Tete start in defence. Summer signing Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) is in goal.

    Martial is useless

    Ndidi injured again he just came back.

    Beat this

    weeks 16 - 20 = 36 goalie points
    weeks 1- 15 = 24 goalie points

        Ha

        Last season I had Pope and Henderson and Guaita all at the wrong times then got Ryan at a very wrong time. I've a real talent for this game.

        Got Guaita on early WC

        1. Long ago I drew a walrus
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          His GW1 haul was truly a red herring. The real big brain play (i.e. with 100% hindsight) was to start with Guaita then move him on to Martinez for GW2. Might try that next season

            Sort of

            Palace had great fixtures and a superb cs record over the last two seasons. It felt safe as houses. Villa I quite fancied from the off but truly on early WC the only reason to go Martinez was price.

    Martial should not be allowed anywhere near this team anymore

      Agree, he's so bad.

          well you keep saying you quit this season because everyone is a casual. And then you keep posting so im just confused

      It happens.mi have Watkins and Soucek on mine.

      A real pro would have Soucek benched instead.

    Rashford is so bad

    2. Fudgy

      Are you trying to suggest he's being picked solely on his off the pitch achievements in some sort of PR stunt for the club?

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

        Well the club were very much so involved in setting up and organising Rashford's public campaign, but I doubt he's getting picked for it. However he is playing awful and should be dropped.

    Get Cavani on.

    1. Neevesy

      Why he isn't playing, I'll never know. Creates so much space. Is 10 times better than Martial.

    Sometimes Ole's decisions are so poor... Cavani is obviously 100 times better than Martial, play him!

    There’s no way Cavani doesn’t come on here is there?

      He will be coming on 100%

      I honestly don't see how martial can keep constantly starting while being so horrendously bad at everything

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        An injured Cavani would genuinely do a better job.

        Solskjaer has got rotation right recently but resting Shaw and Cavani against a team this unambitious is a huge mistake.

        Cavani far more valuable here, we can play Martial against more progressive sides.

      7. MikeS
