Varane and Sancho start as Man Utd visit Wolves in Gameweek 3

Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) most popular player Bruno Fernandes (£12.1m) starts as Manchester United visit Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final match of Gameweek 3.

For the home team, Bruno Lage sticks with the same XI that featured against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

That means another start for Adama Traore (£6.0m), who has taken 10 shots so far this season without scoring.

Long-term injury victims Jonny (£4.5m) and Pedro Neto (£6.5m) remain sidelined, but Willy Boly (£4.9m) and Daniel Podence (£5.5m) have returned as substitutes.

As for Man Utd, Raphael Varane (£5.5m) and Jadon Sancho (£9.3m) both start as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes three changes, with Daniel James (£6.0m) returning as Victor Lindelof (£5.0m), Nemanja Matic (£4.5m) and Anthony Martial (£7.8m) drop out.

As a result, Paul Pogba (£7.7m) could revert to a deeper midfield role alongside Fred (£5.0m).

Dean Henderson (£4.9m), Alex Telles (£5.0m), Scott McTominay (£5.5m)  and Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) are all absent, as expected.

Kick-off at Molineux is at 16.30 BST.

    Common Greenwood!

    1. OLEgend
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      He will score and then the Siuuuuu celebration

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Perhaps not world class yet but incorrect to call him common.

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Slightly better than common. 6.5/10

    Should I ship Barnes out before price drops again or wait til after intl break?

    1. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Yes

  3. Jafooli

    Can Bruno & Pogba get me 17pt?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Bruno will get 19pts by himself

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Sure

    3. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      They can, but probably won't

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      I see United losing. 2-1

  4. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 23 days ago

    Without Leeds/Spurs assets, we should be happy with these scores!

    Will Greenwood still play once Ronaldo is there?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Will be on the right, but rashford is back soon so it's gonna be a total minefield with Sancho rashford cavani Ronaldo

      • Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Yeah, second fiddle….

      • Pukkipartyy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        If Pogba in middle like today and Rash out.

      • Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        James will make way

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years

          Hey

      • tangtastic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        I'm sceptical. If Ole keeps two holding then I think Greenwood will miss out to Sancho, Bruno & Pogba with Ronaldo up front. Thinking of moving myself this gw

      When Cavani and Rashford are back it’ll be a rotation nightmare.

      1. Pukkipartyy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Not for CR7 😉

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        It already is. Daniel James is getting way more time than I expected

    3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

      Will Son get 3 bonus? Winning goal not added yet?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Winning goal bp is added live

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        I think he’ll get 2

      3. Warby84
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Nope, Reggy get them…

    4. hueycho
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Sonny just had to get a jammy goal again didnt he...

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        I brought him in and captained him, so thanks for all the jam, Sonny!

          • 11 Years

          Do you ready for the rank killing 90 minutes?

    5. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Behind the sofa time with no Greenwood. Finely balanced whether would have worked out better starting the season with him rather than Son

    6. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Hmm Greenwood probably more keepable than Pogba if Pogba is playing cm to accommodate crappy Dan James

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Yeah, Pogba is out after today

    7. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Is Ings to DCL for a hit worth it?

      Alternative is to wait a week and get Bamford for free

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        not worth a hit imo

    8. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Flash core has Ronnie listed as a Man Utd player

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        With arm injury

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 23 days ago

          Yeah, bizarre…probably from carrying his salary

      2. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        https://www.flashscore.com/player/ronaldo-cristiano/WGOY4FSt/

        Not had a RC in six seasons

      3. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Do we think he's straight on pens?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 23 days ago

          Yes, Bruno second fiddle now

          1. TOLV TUMS
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 23 days ago

            Would be a bit shocking if he wasn't... Should be interesting to see how Pogba handles not being the biggest ego in the dressing room as well

    9. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Get to watch this as a fan now knowing everyone has Shaw and Bruno

    10. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      And now...spending the remainder of the gameweek hiding behind the sofa.

    11. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Scouting the wolf pack today

    12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Very little confidence in Pogba as a central midfielder

      Prove me wrong Paul, prove me wrong

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Anything above 3 points is a miracle

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Yep, gone from 9.5 mid to 6.0 mid

    13. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      I was hoping to see Lingard over James, but ah well, hopefully he comes off the bench. Varane and Sancho time! 😀

    14. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Finally having a pacey CB alongside Maguire means Pogba can hopefully play box to box and not have to worry too much

    15. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      1-1 would be nice with no Shaw or Greenwood involvement

    16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 23 days ago

      Fred can be so frustrating

      1. JBG
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        His left foot is made out of wood. Such a bad passer, can't believe he is Brazilian.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 23 days ago

          Such a weak link when it comes to passing

      3. Rainer

        Holy Usain Bolt

      5. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years

        You gotta luv Traore!

      6. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 23 days ago

        Traore has really been passing the eye test to start this season. Fixtures are great from next week...

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 23 days ago

            I'm going for him, it's only a matter of time before he hauls

          • The Mighty Hippo
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 23 days ago

            I'm tempted to get him in for Barnes, but there are so many other good option in that price band.

          • It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 23 days ago

            All fart no poo

            I couldn't not buy him after watching wolves Tottenham

          • Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 23 days ago

            Imagine him and ASM in the same side. Forget the results and fill the stadiums!

          • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 23 days ago

            If you find Raphinha a frustrating player, just wait till you get a load of Traore 🙂

            The single biggest “threatens but does nothing” player ever in the league

            (He will hattrick now)

            1. Get up ya bum
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 23 days ago

              Every game he is the best and worst player on the pitch

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 23 days ago

          The headgear might affect jiminez's heading. I wonder if the contact would be smooth

        3. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 23 days ago

            Sancho to win penandes/penaldo 100 penalties

              Dear god Fred just wow

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  3 years, 23 days ago

                  Its like he's playing for wolves

                • 8 Years
                3 years, 23 days ago

                Fred and Pogba base 😆

                Fred is a joke
