Greenwood only Man United asset to retain place as Solskjaer rotates heavily

As feared, Manchester United bring a heavily rotated side into their second Triple Gameweek 35 fixture.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes 10 changes from the team that beat Aston Villa on Sunday, Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) the only asset to retain his starting berth against Leicester City.

After featuring on the flanks of attacking midfield at Villa Park, the 19-year-old leads the line on Tuesday evening with Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) and Edinson Cavani (£8.0m) on the bench.

They are joined there by Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), Paul Pogba (£7.6m), Luke Shaw (£5.5m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.7m) and Dean Henderson (£5.2m).

Premier League debutants Amad Diallo (£5.4m) and Anthony Elanga provide the width this evening, either side of Juan Mata (£5.8m), who makes his first league start since Gameweek 9.

Nemanja Matic (£4.7m) and Donny van de Beek (£6.6m) look set for central midfield duties while Solskjaer has named a back-four of Brandon Williams (£4.2m), Eric Bailly (£4.8m), Axel Tuanzebe (£4.1m) and Alex Telles (£5.3m) in front of David de Gea (£5.3m).

Leicester are in much strong first-team shape with James Maddison (£7.3m) and Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) the only two to drop the bench.

As expected, Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.3m) lead the line with Ayoze Pérez (£6.0m) taking on a number 10 role in front of Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.4m).

Luke Thomas (£4.1m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.2m) are the left and right wing-backs respectively with Timothy Castagne (£5.8m) tucked into a back-three with Caglar Söyüncü (£5.3m) and Wesley Fofana (£5.0m).

Triple Gameweek 35 Line-ups

Manchester United XI: De Gea; B Williams, Bailly, Tuanzebe, Telles; Matic, van de Beek; Diallo, Mata, Elanga; Greenwood.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Söyüncü, Fofana, Castagne; Thomas, Ndidi, Tielemans, Albrighton; Pérez; Vardy, Iheanacho.

Triple Gameweek 35 so far…

    Is 100 points any good at this point?

    1. JBG
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      No, should have at least 200 by now.

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Average.

    3. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Finally got lucky 🙂

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Mum's so proud. So, so proud.

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      130 should be presentable right now.

    5. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Should be ashamed to even ask.

    6. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Still have Martinez, Guaita, Ward, Mitchell, TAA, Fernandes, Greenwood, Salah, Jota and DCL to play.

      And Watkins not to play

      1. Captain Haddock
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Plus Digne, forgot him.

    7. Roy Hudd
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 hours ago

      At this point I'd say you're below where I would want to be. Have you tried following the scoutcast and scout picks to improve your team selection?

  2. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    Perfect night for United, rested players, Leicester in the CL . . .

  3. JBG
    • 6 Years

    Wtf was that Bruno?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Unless it's a penalty he's unlikely to score or have you not been watching the last two months?

      1. JBG
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Ha, ha.

  4. Nightcrawler

  7. OverTinker

    3 years, 6 hours ago

    Vardy has been the disappointment of the season for me

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      He's coat me my ML the last few weeks, brought him in on a WC and captained for first two weeks, rest is history

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Still it was good that I retained him on FH over KAne and Watkins

        1. Reece’s Pieces
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 hours ago

          That’s where I’m at too. Glad it’s just on the FH

  8. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    Ndidi is very underrated, probably the second best in the league in that CDM destroyer role behind Kante.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Agreed - mom tonight .... so far.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Agreed. Tuanzebe a close second.

  9. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    Excellent Leicester are beating United 2-1, I have 3 Leicester players so I must be scoring well... Oh no wait absolutely everyone is outscoring me with 1 United player.

    3. justaguy9
      • 3 Years

      Yes. And top 4 decided barring any miracles

  12. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    Gonna own Kane, DCL, Antonio and Bamford when I sell Nacho. Guessing times ahead...

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      4 strikers? Cheat code?

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        LOL. Daft moment there...

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Under the influence, what a chop I am

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 hours ago

          Hahahaha! Get Antonio.

  13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    That Greenwood goal and Bruno appearance pulled my rank down by 8K!

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      No Greenwood?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Changed Benteke + Greenwood + Ward to DCL + El Ghazi + Mitchell last minute. Did not feel right to have Benteke in the 11.

  14. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    Lol Roy such a troll, as if he’s started Mitchell for both games in the double after being seemingly out of favour for like 90% of the season

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      This! I presume he benched Ward though?

      1. justaguy9
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        No ward starts

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 hours ago

          Bloody hell he's getting a red card!

      2. seanie3
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        ??

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Mitchell got his place back before the DGW

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        One appearance not enough to go by, if anything suggested he would be benched in the double even more

    3. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      PVA is leaving on a free mate.

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        Like Aguero thought that would mean he’d get gametime to see off the club

  15. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    albrighton come on punch someone

  16. justaguy9
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    Somebody from. Leicester are gonna give away a handball penalty in injury time, arent they?

  17. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    rather than win the game and put the pressure on City, OGS, plays a weakened side and focusses on the game against Pool. Loser mentality, he's no winner.

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Put what pressure? There's nothing for them to play for lol

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 hours ago

        didn't he say he wanted to obtain as many points as possible to be closer to City's points total. Seems Man Utd are more obsessed with getting one up on Liverpool.

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 hours ago

          Not saying it's right to do that... Rest half the team is ok but resting the entire team when I thought this league had integrity. First time i've seen this, even teams which had nothing to play for would play full strength sides against teams who were fighting relegation or european spots. This is a disgrace actually.

    2. Isco Disco
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      True that!
      I agree.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      League was over already and they do have a final incoming

    4. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Lol. You can't play the same players 3 times in 5 days.

  18. seanie3
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 hours ago

    jeez, cant rely on utd to beat leicester at home, yes they rested tons of players but leicester rested vardy and had their best defender (evans) not playing.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      Vardy played almost the full match

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      United made 10 changes to Leicester’s 2 and was also missing their best defender

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 hours ago

      wtf

    4. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years

    Utd defenders passing it around like a pre season game with a minute to go.

  27. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
