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.

GAMEWEEK 3 LINE-UPS

Wolves XI: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Moutinho, Neves, Marcal, Trincao, Traore, Jimenez

Subs: Gibbs-White, Cundle, Podence, Ait-Nouri, Boly, Silva, Ruddy, Hoever, Dendoncker

Man Utd XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, Pogba, James, Fernandes, Sancho, Greenwood

Subs: Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, Heaton, Martial, Lingard, Cavani, Mata, van de Beek

          Pogba continues to be an issue for Man Utd as he should be playing in Fernandes' position, but Fernandes is better than him, so Pogba can't take that role.

          Man Utd should be looking to sell Pogba and buy someone like Declan Rice or Kalvin Phillips.

            Pogba needs a team that keeps a lot of possession, a brilliant CDM beside him and allow him free to roam and then his is great. Just like when he was at Juve and with France.

              Yep. He is world class but you gotta play to his strengths. He isn't an 8 and he isn't a 10.

          Planning on using my WC GW4 instead as GW7.

          With Ronaldo going to man u, i Feel bruno will be over valued and will possibly not be on pens and shooting Fk's.
          Greenwood with possibly have less minutes.
          ings games more difficult and not on pens
          ayling fewer CS than someone like dier
          Tsimkas With fewer game time.

          So Current Team :

          Sanchez (steele)

          Ayling, TAA, Shaw, Tsmikas, Livrameto

          Salah Greenwood Bruno Benrahma Brownhill

          Toney Ings Antonio

          To Something like

          Sanchez , ((Raya- 4.5 GK)

          Williams Alonso Coufal Coady Livrameto (- other Options White, Dier/Sanchez, Janssen)

          Torres, Salah, ESR/Grey, Son, Benhara

          Toney Raul Antonio

          5.5ITB For Antonio to Ronaldo

          Anyone Else considering WCing this GW ?
