[SER19]

I'd have said the same regardless. If we presume Liverpool win their next game we need to win out next one to show that we're not giving anything up without a fight. Rolling over right after a game like that just makes you look soft.

But still start midweek 3 points ahead rather than level. It can't possibly be 'pointless'

 

[Gerald G]

Not going to be easy this.

De Gea
AWB--Bailly--Maguire--Shaw
Matic--Pogba
Greenwood--Bruno--Rashford
Cavani​

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

No need for McFred doing one mans job here. Get Matic in & go for the throat. Rest Bruno & Rashford, been poor & look knackered.

DDG
AWB Lindelof or Bailly Maguire Shaw
Matic
Donny Pogba
Mata Cavani Martial​

Technical ability.

 

[Random Task]

De Gea
Wan Bissaka Lindelof Maguire Telles
Matic Van de Beek
Greenwood Pogba Martial
Cavani​

Liverpool next Sunday, I'm ok with rotating Shaw/Bruno/Rashford here.

That's more than enough for Fulham you feel. The only problem is Greenwood seems to be out of favour right now and VDB was never in favour to begin with, which most likely means Rashford and Bruno starting again although both are in dire need of a rest.

Ole is clearly not a fan of rotation, at least not of his current favourites Rashford and Bruno.

 

[Feed Me]

Bruno, Rashford and Martial should all come out.

DDG

Wan
Maguire
Bailly
Shaw

Matic
Pogba
Beek

James
Cavani
Greenwood

The side needs a change of dynamic as the attack has been stale for a while now.

 

[rooney2009]

Never understand this. If we lost today they overtook us. How could that be pointless regardless of midweek result? Would losing today have guaranteed a win mid week? Or a draw midweek guaranteed a win today?

This...I concur

 

[Offside]

Start Cavani and Greenwood

 

[Berbasbullet]

Test Ole’s first.

Or something.

 

[-Supreme-]

DDG
AWB - Bailly - Maguire - Telles
Matic - Pogba
Greenwood - Bruno - Martial
Cavani​

Rashford needs benching.

Personally I'd play VdB in CM alongside Matic and push Pogba higher up the pitch and rest Bruno.

Agree with the rest.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

No need for McFred doing one mans job here. Get Matic in & go for the throat. Rest Bruno & Rashford, been poor & look knackered.

DDG
AWB Lindelof or Bailly Maguire Shaw
Matic
Donny Pogba
Mata Cavani Martial​

Technical ability.

I'd second this line up.

 

[Adamsk7]

Some resting needed and some chances needed too.

De Gea
Wan Bissaka
Bailly
Maguire
Telles

Matic
Pogba
Donny

Greenwood
Cavani
Martial

Debut for Diallo from the bench!

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

This looks to be a tougher proposition than it did a couple of months ago, Parker has got them looking decent. That said they are without a couple of starters and nothing but a victory will be good enough from our point of view.

 

[Alemar]

De Gea
Wan Bissaka
Bailly
Maguire
Telles

Matic
Pogba
Donny

Greenwood
Cavani
Diallo

 

[charlenefan]

Parker the bus.

Win this and if Liverpool/Spurs draw, it'll be a great week.

Liverpool play Burnley

The Spurs game is the week after

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Prioritising this over the FA Cup? Possibly. Bruno needs another rest in one of these two games. Rashford needs dropping.

 

[Shane88]

Liverpool play Burnley

The Spurs game is the week after

Ah shit.

 

[croadyman]

VDB for Bruno who's looked knackered. We really need to rest him.

Yeah think this could be just the game to give Donny some useful minutes before the cup tie with the Scousers next Sun. I would like to say we could leave Bruno on the bench for this but think that is too risky.

 

[kirk buttercup]

De Gea
Awb.--- Bailly. ---Maguire .--- Telles .
Matic. Pogba.
Greenwood. Donny. Martial
Cavani

 

[Jaxa]

Agree with most on here, Rashford needs dropped 100%, he's so out of form right now and i think it's time Greenwood is given a fair run, i would also not be shocked to see James start too,

DDG
AWB Bailly Maguire Telles
Matic
DVB Pogba
Mason Cavani Martial

​

Think that team is good enough to take all 3 again Fulham.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Saw Fulham against Spurs and Chelsea, they looked decent in both games.
This won't be easy.

 

[The Brown Bull]

DDG
AWB. BAILY. Maguire Shaw
Matic Fred
Greenwood. VdB Martial
Cavani.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

A game for the Matic-Pogba midfield duo. Rashford needs benching and Bruno needs a rest, but they’re both in my FPL team, so what I said is null and void Rest them in the cup game because the FA Cup is something we should just forget about this season. Be for the greater good if we do. Martial though, he really needs benching.

DDG
AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw
Pogba Matic
Greenwood Bruno Rashford
Cavani

Prediction: 0-2 United

Agree with this.

Just need someone from our front 4 to start scoring again, they all look in poor form.

 

[Rozay]

VDB for Bruno who's looked knackered. We really need to rest him.

He was rested against Watford and has then played a game every 5 days or so since then. He did not play well, it’s that simple I think.

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

They have been very good based on performance lately despite of not winning matches but we have zero reason not to win this match, we have better quality, more & better depth.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Another vital one here. Berties win their game in hand and it’s one point ahead.

Boy this is going to be close

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Can’t afford to take this one lightly, regardless of their position in the table they’ve looked pretty good recently.

 

[Jonno]

The point at Liverpool is only a good point if we go and win our next game.

Vital we win this.

 

[lenny_1248]

De Gea; AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Telles; Pogba, Matic; Greenwood, VdB, Martial; Cavani

Ole, please, leave Bruno and Marcus on the bench. They look knackered and are playing fecking awful (compared to their usual standards).
We should beat this Fulham team w/o them and it'd be interesting to see VdB with other top players and not MAta, James, Lingard etc (with all due respect).

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Some oddly disrespectful team selections on here. Fulham are no pushovers at all.

 

[Jonno]

Liverpool WLL rotate heavily and therefore we should rest 4-5 in that game. If we rest the likes of Rashford, Bruno, Shaw, Lindelof, De Gea, Fred v's a weakened Liverpool team, then we should go full whack v's Fulham and secure the points.

 

[Skåre Willoch]

Fulham have improved a bit lately, I think. That doesn't change the fact that we should annihilate them.

Rest Rashford and Martial. Start Greenwood and Cavani. Start DVB as well, and give Bruno 60 minutes of rest. Put him on if we need to produce some magic to push the game across the line

 

[Bojan11]

Some oddly disrespectful team selections on here. Fulham are no pushovers at all.

They taken a point vs Spurs and Liverpool.

Should have got a draw vs Chelsea or possibly more if the ref didn’t buy Azpilicueta screaming. Beaten Leicester away.

These are the games they seem to do play better in.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Fulham have improved a bit lately, I think. That doesn't change the fact that we should annihilate them.

Rest Rashford and Martial. Start Greenwood and Cavani. Start DVB as well, and give Bruno 60 minutes of rest. Put him on if we need to produce some magic to push the game across the line

Annihilation only occurs in fantasy football world.

They are fighting for PL survival. If we want to win we, we need to match that desire. Burnley showed that we can compete physically but Fulham have pace everywhere.

Their big issue is not having a real goalscorer

 

[westmeath]

I’ve been impressed with Fulham v Chelsea and Spurs. They really pass the ball around well and we could struggle to get any control over the game. I still expect a win but it will not be easy at all.

 

[Drawfull]

Depending on what City do against Villa before our game, we could be under even more pressure to get a result here. Assuming they take the points off Villa, a win for us would be massive.

 

[Solius]

Fulham have looked good recently but they're without BDR and Robinson. Probably two of their best players apart from Anguissa.

I'd go with:

de Gea
AWB - Bailly - Maguire - Telles
Pogba - Matic
Greenwood - VDB - James
Cavani​

 

[Chief123]

Fulham picked up 2 suspensions yesterday. without 2 starters.. so that's a positive.

I misread this as 2 players testing positive!

 

[Cee90]

From a fantasy football perspective I’d like Rashford and Bruno to play this, but in truth, they need a rest and it’s probably best they start from the bench here.

Fulham are no mugs and they have shown over the past month or so that they can play some good football.

Hopefully we can grind out a win here to keep the pressure on the chasing pack.

 

[MUFC OK]

Must win, 10x more important than the cup game.

DDG
AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw
Matic Pogba
Greenwood Bruno Rashford
Cavani

Telles in for Shaw would be acceptable for crosses into Cavani. Would be nice to win a game early on for once but would take a scrappy 1-0.

 

[MUFC OK]

Dropping Bruno here would be madness. We'll see a lot of the ball and need both him and pogba playing to unlock the door. if they really sit back we can bring on Mata for more creativity. Cavani must start.
