Injured Cavani misses out as Solskjaer opts for Martial over Greenwood in attack

Having been leapfrogged by Leicester City earlier in the day, Manchester United will attempt to go back to second in the Premier League table at Old Trafford this evening.

A win over visitors Newcastle United will do just that and keep league leaders Manchester City within ten points’ reach, following a win for Pep Guardiola’s troops in the late-afternoon kick-off.

The last of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday gets underway at 19:00 GMT.

Daniel James (£6.2m) and Nemanja Matic (£4.7m) are brought into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting XI tonight.

Both of the United manager’s changes from Gameweek 25 are enforced, with Edinson Cavani (£7.9m) and Scott McTominay (£4.9m) missing through injury.

Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) is again only among the substitutes, with Anthony Martial (£8.7m) preferred up front.

Steve Bruce has made just the one change to the Newcastle side that lost at Chelsea last Monday as Joelinton (£5.7m) replaces Dwight Gayle (£5.9m) in attack.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) is the second-most-popular captaincy pick of Double Gameweek 25 overall and within the top 10k, trailing Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) in both instances.

Selected by the vast majority of the top 10,000, Fernandes’ effective ownership is, once again, in excess of 100% – so any return means a small red arrow for those who own the Portuguese midfielder but haven’t captained him.

LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Darlow, Krafth, Lascelles, Clark, Lewis, Willock, Hayden, Shelvey, Joelinton, Almiron, Saint-Maximin.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Matic, Fred, James, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 25 SO FAR…

Ilkay Gundogan (£6.1m) made a swift return from injury at the Emirates this afternoon but couldn’t add to his season’s goal tally of 11.

The German started and finished the game in his now customary ‘number eight’ role but he, and City as a collective, never really clicked in an attacking sense in north London.

Not that Pep Guardiola’s side really needed to get out of second gear, with Arsenal failing to capitalise on some threatening positions in the final third and mustering only one shot on target in the entire game.

This was City’s 15th clean sheet of the season and their 13th in the last 16 Gameweeks.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) made his first start on his return from injury as a ‘false nine’ and provided some typically incisive through-balls, while the advanced Joao Cancelo (£6.1m) again saw plenty of penalty-box action and wasted a glorious chance to double City’s lead when toe-poking wide from 10 yards.

Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) was the visitors’ match-winner, nodding home Riyad Mahrez‘s (£8.1m) second-minute cross for his 13th attacking return in his last 14 league starts.

      Grealish out for 4 possible 6 wks

        That's not what Dean Smith said after the Leicester game

          Dean also said he would play this week

            When and what was actual quote because I don't recall anything Grealish specific

              Smith said it is not a long-term problem and hopes to have Grealish available soon, although it is understood he could be out for a month.

                "It is understood..." is speculation and not Smith and this is not related to Smith saying Grealish would play before the game which I never heard

                  Idk but with him and Cash out villa aren't the same time as shown today. So much for games in hand. Big blow if he's not back

                  He also seemed very pissed off that someone leaked that he was out

            I'm a villa fan and know f all but talk is at least 4 wks. Altho same ppl said he wasn't out at all when I mentioned it in one or two forums..

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years

              Daily mail say 4 weeks and the sun say 2 weeks

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He wants to keep the opps thinking that he may be starting (bit like why he was hiding the news before Leicester game) - unbiased reports suggest out for a month

    2. FantasyClub
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish now down to 50% possibility of playing

    Martinez (£4m)
    Cancelo, Stones, Mitchell (Dallas, Justin)
    Salah, Son, Sterling, Bruno, (Raphinha)
    DCL, Bamford (Antonio)

    A) Sterling, Antonio > Gundo, Kane (-4)
    B) Antonio, Raphina > Brewster, Barnes (-4)
    C) Wildcard

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years

      C

      Mitchell, Justin and Dallas after this week, are all dead wood

  3. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Areola Raphinha Konsa Struijk worth a bench boost for a -4?

    Or remove a hit for Konsa and wait for a post GW30 to try it?

    1. Arfaish
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I was asking something similar and it’s probably worth waiting till a later date especially if you have your wildcard

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Regret getting Son in many weeks ago as has made it difficult to get a decent bench and didn't want to go without Kane.. No Leeds double in this week has messed things up also

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Need at least 20 pts from Bamford [C] Raphinha Dallas and Ings Tuesday to avoid red arrows:
    A. That's so easy
    B. 50/50
    C. Bloody difficult

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, not all on my OR 40-60% each apart from Bam 175%

  5. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who would be your favourite triple captain pick this week?

    I think DCL could be the man to steal the show with Everton picking up form and DCL being well rested with strong fixtures.

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

      Watkins a shout too if Grealish fit given the oppo.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’d have agreed with you if Jack was fit. But looking likely out.

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Fernandes seems relatively safe.

      Barnes or Vardy an interesting shout.

      I don’t like spurs on current form but Kane could grab a few.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can’t argue with that.

        If you couldn’t pick Bruno?

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I don't know why people are constantly looking for differentials to captain. Just go with the best pick. And I think it's very clear that he is the most reliable for minutes and points.

          1. FantasyClub
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Another beautiful thing about Bruno are his bps

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Everton turn up one week then disappear the next. Have them but don’t Captain.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This is fair, I’ve experienced this.

        Who’s your pick then?

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          For captain?
          Any from Fernandes,Kane,Barnes,Gundogan,Dias

  6. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Too conservative for the big DGW?

    Tark to Targett

    Martinez
    Stones Shaw Targett*
    Bruno Mo Gundo Son Raph
    Vardy Watkins

    Pope Dallas Lowton Bamford

    Could get Cancelo as a minus 4 but prefer to keep Pope if possible and dubious he gets 4 games over 26/27

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Any cash Raphinha to Barnes is on my radar 🙂

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly not

        Really messed up badly on WC24 by going Son Vardy and not Barnes Kane.

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

    Vardy or Watkins for 26 and moving forward, on WC currently. I still hold FH.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if Grealish is a short or long term injury. In isolation for 26 DGW Vardy would be my pick

  8. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best 3 City assets for the doubles?

    Currently thinking KDB, Gundogan & Ederson

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I won't change that

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

      I still like Stones, Dias and one of the mids.

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would too and you'll 100% at least have one of them playing, barring injuries, but Laporte is a big player for them too

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very suspect of KDB playing both. . . .but that's just me.

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Stick with who you have its too much of a lotreey to predict

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lottery even

      2. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        WC, so the choice is mine 🙂

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ederson, Dias and Gundo. Still not convinced to use funds on KDB. Even when he was fit he was a bit of a let down

    6. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      See what happens in the CL.

      One of Stones and Cancelo will be benched.

  9. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best move here with 1 FT and 7.8m itb.
    Martinez
    Dias,Cancelo,Digne
    Fernandes,Son,Gundogan,Grealish
    DCL,Watkins,Bamford

    Johnstone,Raphinia,Dallas,Soucek

    A) Raphinia,Bamford > Barnes,Kane -4. (bench Grealish)
    B) Cancelo,Grealish/Raphinia > Pereira, Sterling-4 (play Bamford)
    C) Cancelo,Grealish,Bamford > Targett,Sterling,Kane -8

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A - I would probably lose Grealish over Raphinha depending on injury update.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford got hatrick in reverse fixture?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Think he’ll outscore Kane?

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Depends which spurs team turns up?

  10. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Interesting stat on Sterling

    "Sterling has recorded just 1 bonus point in the last six matches he has scored in. What goes against him is the lack of his multiple involvements and the fact that City defence inevitably record monster BPS scores whenever they keep a clean sheet. Fine margins but big swings."

    https://twitter.com/BigManBakar/status/1363557304705015808?s=19

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably gets dispossed a lot too

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He’s also played poorly. Regularly fails dribbles, misplaces passes and does a lot of unglamorous pressing.

      Like today he often fails to build on good starts. KDB amazing pass and all the time in the world to pick his spot but takes too many touches.

      When he’s good he’s great but too often he’s not reached the heights this year.

  11. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Early WC draft:

    0.3m ITB

    Martinez
    Stones Cancelo Shaw Digne/LEI def
    Bruno Salah Gundogan Barnes
    Kane DCL

    3.9 - Bamford White ESR

    Don't know whether this needs more GW29 players as I have no FH left, maybe Watkins or Targett in?

    Tried to make a team with Son, Kane and DCL but looks pretty ropey due to poor TV, think there's a decent balance to this squad

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My team without WC is close, yeah! It's a good WC team then 🙂
      Martinez (DDG)
      Stones Cancelo Lowton (Dallas Cresswell)
      Bruno Salah Gundo Barnes Raphinha
      Kane DCL (Bamford)

  12. camarozz

    Ppl with WC- reasons for using it this wk or if not using it explain ur thought process?

    I still have all chips intact and only not a clue wat to do. Team in pretty good shape for upcoming period only thing missing is Spurs really and maybe Barnes for Grealish...

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not using WC as my team is a decent state for 26.

      Planned transfers - Pope, Soucek and Ings to Fabri, Barnes and Kane (-4)

      WC30/31 FH33 TC undecided

      2FT 3.7itb

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty close to my team and am think same to be honest. Altho am contemplating no Spurs.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Spurs have good fixtures beyond 26.

      2. SINGH
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Why FH 33? Most teams are playing that week with the exception of 2 teams? Surely you will have many players that week from your current team anyway?

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Using it this week as i don't have Kane, DCL, Barnes and I also need Villa defence (to cover rivals).

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Same reason .. too difficult to get Kane, barnes, dcl without wc ..

    3. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Used it because knowledge is power and having the confirmed fixtures in front of you plus knowing who will/won't play regarding injuries/European football is less of a lottery than predicting it last gameweek.

      That said I still have bench boost and will need to use it in another week but I can at least use my bench as a starting point for the blanks instead of avoiding them for a BB team in 26.

    4. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Team is:

      Martinez
      Cancelo, Dias, Digne
      Salah, Bruno, Gund, Raphina
      DCL, Kane, Bamford
      (Fabri, Taylor, Coufal, Grealish)

      So, the fact that the team is quite well set up with nine DGW'ers, and that I still need to BB at some point (my plan was BB in 25 but injuries stopped me) means I'm considering holding on to the WC. Some on here agree with this strategy while others suggest wildcarding anyway.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah if u look at the fixtures beyond the dgw there's not many teams/players u would jump on now tbf imo.
        Maybe better used when there is a fixture swing later

        1. Gentle_Turks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly. I would like Barnes though. Could get him for Grealish this week, giving me an extra DGW'er but would be for a hit. Not sure it's worth a hit?

          1. camarozz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thinking the same tbh, wanted Barnes a few wks ago but didn't want to lose anyone. Lost Soucek for Raphina this wk so Grealish out opens the door for Barnes (also for a hit)

            1. Gentle_Turks
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Depending who you'd play for Grealish, and when Grealish comes back (as Villa have ok fuxtures), Barnes will repay the hit. My issue is I've al;ready taken a -4 for Kane so I'm not sure a -8 is a good idea in a week when lots will bench boost or TC (I already used my TC). What do you think?

            2. Gentle_Turks
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Just realised it would also be a -8 for you.

    BB-team:

    Raphinha - Fernandes - Grealish - Gundogan - Sterling

    I've owned Harvey Barnes for one week this season. He was a GW4 replacement for an injured Son who got 18 points while Barnes was getting a 2 pointer.

    I've owned Vardy for a few weeks and Barnes annoyed the hell out of me. Holding onto the ball when he should pass etc. But his numbers are becoming hard to ignore.

    I can't get him in for 26 but he's starting to produce consistently.

    Since GW15 he's in the top 10 midfielders for xG (8th) goals (2nd), total shots (8th), shots on target (3rd), shots in the box (6th) and assists (joint 3rd).

      Very difficult to get over that feeling. I have a similar issue with Zaha who is a troll whenever I brought him last season. Stayed away from him this season even though he was playing closer through the middle

    Is this a good bench boost?
    Pope Lowton Raphinia Dallas

    1. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes IMO

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would BB that. Also means you'll have it out if the way!

  17. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Worth playing a BB with this lot?

    Forster - Dallas - Lowton - Bamford

    Forster is an issue I know but if I go -8 to do Raphinha + Coufal > Barnes + Aina then Id have no money left to upgrade Forster > 4.5 keeper

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth a minus 8 for bench boosting that

    2. Rupert The Horse

      No

          Welcome. You don’t want to cancel out the chip with hits.

          1. Danstoke82
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            My current bench is Forster - Dallas - Raphinha - Bamford.

            I can’t see any other real GW to play BB. Would the above be suitable enough to use it on instead? Could do a -4 Forster > Areola/Johnstone instead?

    I feel like I’m quite well setup for next week, enough money ITB to go Ings > Kane BUT... Trent is frustrating.

    Martinez

      I sold Liverpool assets weeks ago and no regrets at all. Gives plenty of funds it’s and tired of 2point returns for their prices.

    Burnley fixtures are rough in the DGW

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years

      Not worth it for a hit.

  22. Arsenal97
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Should i keep the double up on city's defence (stones and diaz) or lose one and get KDB with Gundo in mid ?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No I’d stick.

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Who are the players getting replaced? I'm thinking the same thing but would need to get rid of Salah.

      1. Arsenal97
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yes salah

        1. BeWater
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think it's a huge risk at this point. I would be wary of captaining Mo at the moment which makes him an easier sell.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sticks with what you have. Not worth a FT swapping around

      1. Arsenal97
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No i am on wildcard

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You need to add that information in your OP as it does affect my comment. I still don't think KDB is worth the risk yet but if chasing then worth trying. City have a lot of fixtures coming up so it is better to try and pick the nailed players like Ederson, Dias and Gundo

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sticking.

  23. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    DCL or Vardy?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL. Better value in the Leicester mid.

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Even if got Barnes too?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I’d stick with DCL. Those fixtures are pure sex on toast.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL

    3. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL.

  24. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you wildcard this?

    Pope
    Maguire / cancelo / targett
    Salah / sterling / Fernandes / gundogan
    Antonio / ings / bamford

    McCarthy / Dallas / soucek / strujik

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No I wouldn't. Don't know what your chip strategy is but you have 8 DGW players. Get one or more of DCL, Watkins or Kane in there depending on funds.

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just triple captain left.

        I could get Kane and Barnes for sterling and Antonio -4.

        But, the guy I’m chasing has them both so doesn’t help me too much in that regard but seems the most “sensible” move

  25. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is ings & bam to Kane & DCL for -4 worth it? Cheers

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers very tempted

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  26. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Son & Bamford > Barnes & DCL -4

    Yay or nay. Will FH29

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Less sure than I was having seen Arsenal but probably yes

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I really like that but difficult to sell son with double coming up

  27. KrisMCFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have my wc, tc, and fh...

    Is wc 26, fh 29 and tc another gw? Is this the chip strategy to go for?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      With regards to wild card it depends on your team. Having a wildcard for gw 30 and for the run in sounds great.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If your team is half decent, I'd TC26, FH29, WC30 (fixture swing).

  28. SINGH
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Played WC in 25 to set up for BB in 26. Plan was to take out Bamford for Watkins and that would give me a bench of Martinez, Raphinha Veltman and Rudiger.

    But now thinking I shouldn't BB and leave Leeds players in team for GW29 and don't bring in Watkins.

    Am I wrong? Will use BB in future

  29. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Current WC team:

    Ederson (Sanchez)
    Digne Pereira Targett (Dallas Dunk)
    KDB Son Barnes Gundogan (Raphinha)
    Kane DCL Watkins

    0.7 to play with (1.2 if I choose White instead of Dunk)

    1. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ederson to Martinez / Lloris & Targett to Dias / Cancelo is an option

  30. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    Cancelo Stones Robertson
    Salah Fernandes Gundogan Raphinha
    Bamford DCL Ings

    Martinez Soucek Coufal Ferguson

    1. Soucek Coufal Ferguson >> Barnes Targett Shaw (-4) (play BB)
    2. Ings >> Kane (save 1FT)
    3. Ings Coufal >> Kane Targett

    Thanks guys

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      There are weeks to save FT and this isn’t one of them.
      3

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        would you save BB for another week then?

        also, should I use TC ?

    2. jonnybhoy
