- The festive period of football ends with just one match on this day, Manchester United versus Wolverhampton Wanderers.
- Picks were split 4-2 in favor of the match losers Manchester United as Wolves were able to secure a 1-0 victory.
- Unfortunately, neither Wolves player picked scored that goal nor did they provide an assist or ample defensive play. Scott's pick Raul Jimenez fared slightly better than Greg's Last Man In Leander Dendoncker though finishing with the striker finishing with a 6.7 to the midfielder's 6.6.
- Trevor's pick Raphael Varane was the lowest performing United selection finishing with just a 6.8. He did have four clearances and two tackles in his 90 minutes but was caught ball-watching as a poor clearance led to the match's lone tally.
- Cristiano Ronaldo was the lone attacking option taken for the Red Devils. Matt earned a CR7.0 from the Portguese front man despite neither of his two shots bothering countryman Jose Sa in the Wolves net all too much.
- Ryan earned the day's silver medal with David de Gea. A 7.3 was registered via five saves, with four of those from inside the box, and seven completed deep passes over the midway line.
- But making his triumphant return to the United lineup and his Pick One Challenge debut was Andrew's pick and the day's top scorer Phil Jones. Proving his worth when fit, Jones completed 90% of his passes, made three tackles, blocked three goal bound shots, and drew two fouls. I'd say a 7.6 is pretty damn good for your first match in roughly two years.
- Optimally, it was the goal scorer Joao Moutinho who took home this honor. Combined with 87% passing, including 77% long ball accuracy, the ageless midfielder hit a wonderful low-driven goal to net himself an 8.1 rating and Wolves all three massive points.
