Pogba returns for Man United as Cavani overcomes ankle issue

Paul Pogba (£7.7m) returns to the Manchester United line-up as they prepare to face Everton in Gameweek 23.

The French international was handed a rest for the midweek win over Southampton but slots in at central midfield today.

He is paired with Scott McTominay (£4.9m), allowing Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) to take up his best position in the attacking midfield: the left-hand side.

Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) starts on the other side of Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), this week’s most-captained player among the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Edinson Cavani (£7.9m) has overcome the ankle problem he sustained against Southampton to keep Anthony Martial (£8.7m) on the bench and will be searching for his third goal in four starts.

With Eric Bailly (£4.9m) missing out, Victor Lindelöf (£4.8m) starts a third Premier League matches in a row for the first time since Gameweek 15 while Luke Shaw (£4.9m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) occupy the full-back roles either side of Harry Maguire (£5.5m).

Everton line-up in 4-3-3 formation at Old Trafford with James Rodríguez (£7.7m) and Richarlison (£7.8m) either side of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m).

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) drops to the bench as Carlo Ancelotti prefers more workman-like options such as Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.2m), Tom Davies (£5.2m) and André Gomes (£5.3m) in his central midfield trio.

Gameweek 23 Starting Line-ups

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Pogba, McTominay; Rashford, B Fernandes, Greenwood; Cavani.

Everton XI (4-3-3): Olsen; Digne, Godfrey, Keane, Holgate; Davies, Gomes, Doucouré; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez.

    29 points (DCL, Martinez and Targett) on my bench. I'm waiting for Alioski clean sheet and goal to get 40 bench points.

    Ole should drop DDG

    Zero chance Pep rests Gundogan right? 😀

    Any chance of the following don’t play? Have DCL first on bench

    Salah
    Maddison
    Gundogan
    Bamford

    Said for days benching DCL against this United defense was madness.

      unless he gets some sort of neck ache overnight...could happen right

        wait, that's not where this was supposed to go...doh!

    People actually benched DCL for defenders against this Utd defence LOL. imagine that

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A defense that conceded 4 in their last 8 games...
      Yeah

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

        Was always a deceptive statistic that. They kept one at 10 man Southampton and have a habit of keeping them against the big teams but they're terrible against the mid-table/lower table sides.
