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

      Have Raphinha for 1 gw and can approve he is annoying.. Hope he delivers with upcoming fixtures

      I was going to transfer out on the wildcard but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s first choice in the wide positions. No IB games either so defo a keep for Newcastle.

      Relax the cacks. Raphinha's time is from gw5. We are only at gw3.

    Okay, 70 all out. Up 200K spots. GW4 is where I make some risky plays, but I've two weeks to decide what's next. DCL my bus captain.

    Sliding down the rankings like Biden's approval ratings

      Alas for you Biden's will go back up when everyone has forgotten Afghanistan some time next week.

        I'm actually wide of the mark anyway as most Americans seem to approve of his strategy. And the Trump loons can't complain bc it was his strategy to begin with.

  6. Pompel

    What to do with Poggers, surely has to go now, especially with Ronaldo coming in?

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      don't you think he will be a more attractive option with CR coming in?

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Nope. Pure DM.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years

          That's whatvI fear

        • 14 Years

        Think the poster means no chance of pogba playing wide left now only DMC.

    2. El Matador
      • 10 Years

      Switch to Mason. Undroppable.

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

        Good shout, though a bit early considering fixtures. Also lookong at Jota or Raphina

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Feel reluctant to ditch him in the hope he goes LW again but doubt that’s happening - any idea about the Mctominay injury?

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Something to think about. Jota is one option.

  7. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Hoping I won't need to make any transfers in two weeks. How am I looking?

      Have both Barnes and Ings, not sure if it’s worth taking a hit.

      A1 looks best.

      I’m considering Saka, Jota and Jimenez aswel

    This international break stuff is still up in the air. Hopefully we get something concrete in the next couple of days.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yea should hear in the next 24-48 hours.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I wonder if any of the SA players go and play the first 2, then come back only having to miss GW4.

  11. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years

    Anyone know where I can get xThreat stats? Heard good things about it...

  12. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Ronaldo medical tomorrow?

  13. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Traoré looked immense today, couldn't he be a nice differential over the next few games?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yes but his shooting and decision making are so below par.

    2. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ye or Trinciao

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      People slag him off, rightfully a lot of the time, but he could do damage against lesser players for sure

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      solid 2 pointers

    5. Steinburg FC
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      immense or just fast?? owner...
      preffer him on the right, i think sarr or harrison are smarter picks but hes the fun one!

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Typical traore performance he puts in from time to time

      Usually with no output

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Good GW for any green.

  15. Gudjohnsen

    United so lucky today that I feel like vomiting

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      This game is all luck, first Son today then United

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        For once I was on the good side of the Son luck, trouble is damage had already been done

    2. OLEgend

      Relax

  16. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    My differential players today,
    Raphina Ayling

    Rival
    Greenwood

    Don't understand how it's been happening every week for 2 seasons now!

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not just saying this to be a knob, but how is Raphinha a better pick than a nailed Greenwood?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Not at all mate I get what you're saying and with hindsight it's super easy but there were many reasons I went Raph over G from the start. Didn't want triple United, wanted Leeds attack, Raphina very underprice, Greenwood wasn't nailed at all last season and was dropped at the end for being very poor and interested etc etc Raph should have returned every week but he/me have been super unlucky which is the frustrating thing, they were probably equal picks and have played equally well. I also kept the mil ITB for upgrades but still haven't used it.

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’d recommend logging off here, going for a walk. And coming back ready to go again.

      There’s always another gameweek

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Always feels worse when it happens right before an international break.

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I think you’ve brought your curse to me Super Saints!

      Check this out:

      Me - sold Salah & Pukki to Kane (C) and Benrahma

      Rival - Made 3 transfers, taking a hit.
      He kept Toney and brought in Bamford.
      Captained Antonio and also had Salah.

      Seriously - it feels like every player I don’t own scored this week.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Ouch! That's how I've been feeling for a couple of seasons, I just don't get how the luck isn't turning at all

    4. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Seems so early for differentials, everyone should just get aboard the obvious picks and bank the points early. Plenty of time to go different as the season progresses.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Raph was probably the most obvious pick of all

  17. F4L
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Varane and Maguire were immense today, definitely worth keeping Shaw now.

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Varane is the best signing so far

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        looks like it

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Wut? DDG literally stopped it from being 4 or 5-0.

  18. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood not a single BAP?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      He was quiet and CS.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      No, United were pretty terrible overall.

      1. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        must be a joke, he scored the winner

        1. tangtastic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, baps isnt based just on that

          1. Muchentuchel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            funny mate, funny
            It is the winning goal of a 19-year-old in a game that would otherwise have ended 0-0. It is completely unrealistic that he does not take at least one BAP here.

    4. tbos83
      • 3 Years

      Harsh

    5. Mr. O'Connell

      Still essential

    6. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years

      the shot was off target, should be counted as own goal!!

    DDG: Who?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Makes a few saves again and he's a comedian 😀

    5. Steinburg FC

      no greenwood?

    6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      Unlucky. 104 for me

      1. have you seen cyan

        81 is a fine score, that isnt unlucky

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years

          just aim to beat 65 each week and you be in good standings

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Only people with more will answer 😉

        For me, went without Bruno and nailed transfers this week. Did Trent & Mahrez to Son C Reguilon

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I thought asking weekly average would be nicer for some people who didn’t score that great this week. They would still see that overall they doing good 🙂
          I think 65 a week is generally considered top 10k material

    9. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      70 (69.6)

  23. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years

    Greenwoods shot was definitely heading off target on top of the foul by pogba but as an Owner i LOVE to see it oh yes i do!

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      never a foul, Pogba didnt even touch Neves.

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    So is greenwood keeping his place? Chance of staying on the wing?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      RW pretty likely next time I’d say but no one knows for sure

    2. Rainer

      Will he push Ronnie wide?

      you'd have to say he's undroppable right now, Ronaldo or no Ronaldo

      He’ll probably start 2/3 I think, and come on when benched.

      I think yes. Sancho, greewnwood, ronaldo, bruno

    6. SouthCoastSaint

      Cavani playing in internationals and Martial being rubbish certainly strengthens his appeal. Sancho has looked terrible thus far too

        Give him a chance

          Why? Simply pointing out facts that are important to fantasy football and I don’t support United?

            Sanctuary could be a great FF asset once he has time to adjust to the Premier league...so give a chance i.e. a few games

      Great point...who does Ronaldo replace surely not Greenwood

      Would be surprised if he doesn't keep starting until Rashford is back. Keeping on WC but going week by week.

    Would you get Traore or Jimenez?

      baby oiled assasin all day long!

      Wolves look so threatening but who do you pick. Traore passes the eye test, Trincao looks like he gets the chances. Will have to have a dive into the stats

      1. Steinburg FC
        • 9 Years

        how much is podence?

    Rank 500k to 900k with Bruno cap l. Have Antonio though. Is thus rank worse or still early days? 53 all out this gw.

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Still early

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Still early days

  28. F_Ivanovic

    Punished to the max for choosing to be a differential captain in Bruno this week. Think that's the last he'll play for my team this season to unless Ronaldo ever gets injured!

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Wasn’t he most captained?

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I mean in terms of mini-leagues which is all I care about Antonio was most captained by far by my rivals. Generally the people involved in the community captained Antonio... but not me, who thought I'd be clever going for Bruno

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Don't beat yourself up mate, Bruno was the obvious captain pick at the start of the season for this game week. It wasn't trying to be clever, it was logical

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Agree with this, was him or Son/Kane imo

      Graham Souness has something to say about Pogba? wow, surprised.

    73 and 64 with a total of 3 captain points, hopefully it gets better.
