Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues with five more matches on Saturday, the first of which is Everton v Manchester United.

Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 12:30 BST.

Immediate interest in this fixture is limited from a Fantasy perspective, although United players will be auditioning for many of our teams ahead of their Double Gameweek 33.

Bruno Fernandes will be towards the top of some of our shopping lists heading into next weekend and, looking at ownership figures among the top 10,000 Fantasy managers, he’s the most-played asset in this lunchtime fixture.

The Portuguese midfielder is owned by 5.82% of these leading bosses, with not far off half of these managers captaining him – so he could be a bit of an explosive differential at Goodison, where he racked up 17 points last season.

Many of the other players on show today have been benched by their owners, however.

No-one else has an ‘effective ownership’ (ownership that factors in captaincy and benchings) of greater than 3% in the top 10k, with the likes of Jordan Pickford, Anthony Gordon and David de Gea all consigned to substitute duty by huge swathes of their owners.

As for the team news, Frank Lampard has made four changes from the 3-2 midweek defeat at fellow strugglers Burnley.

Michael Keane, Allan, Seamus Coleman and Fabian Delph are all back in the line-up after suspension, illness or injury, with Jonjoe Kenny, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Jarrad Branthwaite and Mason Holgate dropping to the bench.

There are even more changes for the visitors, meanwhile.

Ralf Rangnick has overhauled over half of his team, with Cristiano Ronaldo – who is back from illness – one of the six players to get a recall.

Nemanja Matic and Marcus Rashford are also promoted to the starting line-up, while Victor Lindelof, Alex Telles and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all brought into the defence.

Raphael Varane, Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw miss out with minor injuries, while Diogo Dalot, Paul Pogba and Anthony Elanga are benched.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Godfrey, Keane, Mykolenko, Allan, Delph, Iwobi, Gordon, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Subs: Begovic, Kenny, Holgate, Branthwaite, Doucoure, Gomes, Alli, Gray, Rondon.

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Telles, Matic, Fred, Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Sancho, Ronaldo.

Subs: Heaton, Henderson, Jones, Dalot, Mejbri, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Elanga.

      19 points from double Everton. You can't complain.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        True, now my other differential ESR to do the business!

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah

        It's sickening

  2. Magic Zico

    Could readily be a Jota hattrick next week guys ...

    Utd fan with Gordon first sub! 🙁

    United need to throw the season and finish 8. Would be a blessing for the new manager not having to worry about Thursday night games.

    It happened for Klopp and was the best thing possible to allow him lay his base for success.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah why not, give it a go

    3. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      been good for Arsenal too this season
      They look settled in Arteta's style now

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      would help in the clear out as well because their deluded players will want moves because they'll think they deserve Champions League football

  5. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Just make it stop please…

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only 7 more games of torture to go 😉

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        United are years from a proper fix...

        🙂

        I don’t expect us to come close to winning any silverware for years but can I at least hope for us to play with some sort of a plan and excitement? Need a complete overhaul and clear out. Go back to the youth squads too instead of splashing millions on players in the last 2-3 years of their careers. Just fed up

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Need to tie Matic and Mata to long term contracts.

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            lol

        2. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I remember seeing Man Utd fans say the exact same things as what you’ve just said, 3 years ago. Nothing has changed.

          1. Josh.E
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            haha remember moyes' rebuild?

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              They should have given him a proper chance, they'd be miles better off

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Like Karen Carpenter once said .... we've only just begun.

  6. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Watford in a must win match against Leeds now to drag them back into the relegation battle

  7. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I fell asleep before I could make the Salah to Bruno transfer...phew am I lucky

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A snooze saved the day

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Read that wrong. Was expecting an absolute mauling. Everton were quality to a man.

  9. Drumandbaines123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    So many in my Mini Leagues with Gordon 2nd/3rd on bench with next to no chance of getting on. Lovely stuff

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So many will get him for James

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No way James doesn’t come on

  10. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I don’t even want Bruno for the double now

  11. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bruno will haul in double now that no one wants him no more

    1. Dammit_182
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He gets the double then he’s gone.

  12. Dammit_182
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    According to Ian Brown Manchester ‘has got everything except a beach’. Well, United have found one and they are well and truly on it.

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Need arsenal and especially Martinelli to run riot today.

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      rival captained him, as an arsenal fan, I need the win but also a martinelli blank

  14. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Excited for Salah's haul tomorrow. Non Salah owners will plummet in the ranks. Could be a season ender for them

    1. Dammit_182
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Got no citeh or pool for tomorrow. Was pinning my hows on Bruno. I will be plummeting…

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Selling for Maddison a few weeks back has gone fine thanks

    3. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

    4. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Plummet maybe, but my season ends at exactly the same time as yours I think.

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      They've already reaped the rewards for a long time and whose to say the players they have won't match Salah even if Salah hauls

  15. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lampard in the interview v us saying how our 4-0 win was with lots of "fluke" goals, looking forward to hearing what he says about their win!

  16. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Also Manchester United shocking!!

  17. dshv
    • 8 Years

  19. Ange Ball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I cannot believe I done Pope Kulu Trent put just to fund Fernández I feel getting rid even with the double. Manchester United players joke to own

    1. Ange Ball
      • 10 Years

  20. AutoFill 2021
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    United are horrendous - that is the worse performance I can remember. Last 20 was shocking!

        3 years, 9 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He will get game time for sure
