Key Man United assets return but Greenwood and Mané benched at Old Trafford

Manchester United name a strong team to face Liverpool in their final match of Triple Gameweek 35.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) and Edinson Cavani (£8.0m) all return to the attack although Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) misses out on a third start in as many matches, named on the bench.

Paul Pogba (£7.6m) also comes back into the side and looks side to feature on the left-hand side of attacking midfield, which would see Rashford take up the right-hand position again.

Manchester United’s defence is also back to relative full-strength with Luke Shaw (£5.5m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.7m) in the full-back roles either side of Victor Lindelof (£4.8m) and Eric Bailly (£4.8m), the latter standing in for an injured Harry Maguire (£5.6m).

Meanwhile, despite scoring against Southampton on Saturday, Sadio Mané (£11.7m) drops to the Liverpool bench to make way for Roberto Firmino (£9.0m).

That means a fifth-successive Premier League start for the versatile Diogo Jota (£7.0m) who, today, looks set to play in Mané’s left-wing role on the opposite flank to Mohamed Salah (£12.7m).

With Ozan Kabak (£5.0m) and Ben Davies (£4.7m) still on the sidelines alongside Virgil van Dijk (£6.2m), Joel Matip (£5.4m) and Joe Gomez (£5.2m), Nathaniel Phillips (£4.1m) and Rhys Williams (£4.0m) are Liverpool’s centre-back partnership for the second match in a row.

Triple Gameweek 35 Line-ups

Manchester United XI: Henderson; Shaw, Bailly, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Fred; Pogba, B Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, N Phillips, R Williams, Alexander-Arnold; Thiago, Wijnaldum, Fabinho; Jota, Firmino, Salah.

    132 (-4). Finally a decent BB chipping in 26 extra.

    an expected small red arrow.

    115 no chips, no hits.
    778 > 952 or.

    Looking at a -4 next week so pretty scared about a third red on the bounce.
    Staying in the top 1k is hard!

    1. AlternativeB
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yup. I'm at 423 now but know I will have to do a -8 to get a full team

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        i was 299 two weeks ago before the postponement game - only got 32 and screwed me over.
        i'd need a -8 to get a keeper but thinking of ignoring that.
        (also relying on J-Rod to play so that's a worry)

        1. AlternativeB
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Got 28 last round myself :/ Many changes for the next round for you?

          1. RogDog_jimmy
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Definitely : Bruno > Son.
            Probably : Fofana > Dallas
            Maybe (unlikely) : Mendy > Ederson

            would by a -8 for a real strong team -

            Ederson
            TAA, Coufal, Dallas
            Salah, Jota, Lingard, Son, J-Rod
            Kane, DCL

            1. AlternativeB
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Hmm. Really Bruno out before Fulham?

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

              Possible GW36 transfers

              Martinez
              Dallas TAA Johnson*
              Greenwood* Salah Jota Lingard
              Nacho* Kane DCL

              Forster, Bruno, Shaw, Holding

              Def: Nacho – Bamford
              Probably: Greenwood – Siggy/Raphina
              Probably: Johnson – 6.0/Mitchell

              Or could do as you do. Bruno - Son. (Gives more space to get a better defender... But then. Will probably go with TAA, Dallas, Shaw out the season and not 4 defenders)

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Excellent OR. I'm trying to get into top 1k.

      1. AlternativeB
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hard to stay up there. But mainly just don't sell of the "big hitters" :P. Got Nacho, Bruno, Shaw, Greenwood, Holding and Johnson not playing next round. Regretting getting rid of Mitchell

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I got rid of Mitchell for Phillips. Have 8 for 36. Hits time.

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

        i've been top 1k since gw29 - 3 greens and now 3 reds since then.
        feels like it will be super close to stay up there by the end but i gotta hope!

      Getting out of the top 500k is much harder at his stage of the season! 😀

      1. AlternativeB
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        😀

  3. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Shaw’s super power is creating a million chances and never ever getting a attacking return

    It’s impressive

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah all while AWB is cleaning

    2. djman102
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Shaw is the new Cancelo.

  4. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    116 and red arrow. Oh well, onto 36.

  5. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Put a tenner on pool finshing top 4 right after Leicester won the other day

    Looking good for a profit

    Massive scores!
    Well done all. Not me though. ML lead lost.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Triple digits at least? ML lead can be had back easy, 3 more GWs.

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Looks like you're on 113? How is that not massive?

  7. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What is the best option here?
    a) Greenwood to Bale
    b) Maguire/Greenwood --> Dallas/Son for -4

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  8. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    159 all out.

    1. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Beat me, only 157 - and that off a BB as well 🙁

      Probably my highest week score ever 😀

  9. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    No city players for tomorrow night is going to suck

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    133 all out no chips involved

  11. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Salah TC over Bruno fail

    Pogba over Greenwood fail

    Robertson over TAA fail

    Lingard over Jota fail

    Still somehow ended on 132 points so will take it

  12. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    This week demonstrating how its not how many points you get but how it compares to everyone else. People getting red arrows with ton+ scores.

  13. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which one to bring for Rashford? (already have Greenwood, Jota, Salah, Lingard)

    A) Son
    B) Raphinha
    C) Anyone else

  14. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A or B?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Only have 6.4

  15. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looking to do Bruno Holding to Son Dallas.

    Any reason not to pull the trigger now? Any press conferences?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      just looking now - Son going up tonight it says.
      i'm doing bruno > son, usually like to wait but might have to do it.

  16. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone considering Sterling for Fernandes? I have a feeling he will want to make a good impression before the CL final. Fixtures look quite good too.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      never picking sterling again. too many fails for me.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling is not starting the Champions League Final regardless.

      Foden & Mahrez on the wings.

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        yeah the first team is pretty set it seems.
        only question is kdb fitness.
        sterling's had all year to show form - no reason to think he'll randomly turn it on now
        (though he well could)
        i'd prefer silva, gundo, mahrez and foden.

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Probably not, but I think he'll want to finish the season well regardless

  17. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    130 points and 10.4k to 7.2k 🙂
    Happy days

  18. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years

    Targett is getting a bonus point now?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yep bumped up

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lovely stuff. Cheers 🙂

  19. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Iheanacho to Bamford or Holding to Dallas?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Both? A if only one.

  20. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best option?

    A) Bruno, Iheanacho > Son, Antonio

    B) Azpil, Iheanacho > Dallas, Antonio

    Cheers.

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why Antonio over Bamford?
