Wayne Rooney serves up a goal and assist as United beat Bournemouth 3-1 in the final match of the season. A late Chris Smalling own goal proves costly, however, and denies the Red Devils a thirteenth shut-out in front of their own supporters.

Rooney in the points

Louis van Gaal named a strong starting line-up as Man United clinched fifth place in the Premier League thanks to a 3-1 home win over Bournemouth in the final fixture of 2015/16.

Wayne Rooney opened the scoring with his first effort in eight league appearances and also bagged an assist and maximum bonus points from a central midfield berth to earn a 12-point haul in the Gameweek.

Marcus Rashford’s strike took his tally to five in 11 league appearances and Ashley Young also found the net against Eddie Howe’s side. Anthony Martial and Antonio Valencia, meanwhile, provided an assist apiece to finish the season in fine form. The Frenchman racked up 26 points in his final three league appearances, whilst Valencia – who started the final six matches under Van Gaal – registered an impressive 40 points from a right-back berth over that period.

Smalling error scuppers another shut-out

Whilst the United attackers brought home the points, it was a disappointing evening for those holding United defensive regulars David de Gea and Chris Smalling. De Gea’s chances of earning an 18th clean sheet of the season and sharing the Golden Glove award with Petr Cech were denied after Smalling converted a Max Gradel attempt into his own net in stoppage time.

Adding salt to the wound for the Red Devils defence, Bournemouth failed to register a single attempt on target over the 90 minutes. De Gea was left with two points to take home, then, whilst Smalling’s gaffe saw him produce zero points last night.

Nonetheless, the result still means that Van Gaal’s outfit were joint-first for both clean sheets (18, along with Arsenal) and goals against (35, along with Spurs) highlighting the resilience of their defence at Old Trafford. Despite last night’s disappointment, a tally of 12 shut-outs and nine goals against in front of their own fans was superior to any side across the 2015/16 season.

        Smarty - an idea for FPL discovery. You show the distribution for average points for all players - but the first cut-off point is at the 5th percentile, so approx 190k teams. As most of us on here are safely inside that (apologies to those who aren't) would it be possible to ad a chart for the top 100k only broken down by each 5% (so 5k at a time)? I'd find that very interesting.

          Hah, I was playing PS4 with andy85wsm and every couple of minutes I was begging for Bournemouth to score...

          For Smalling to get an OG in the final seconds to keep the Scout title in it's rightful place, and out of the hands of Evs, was very pleasing.

    I've seen a few Euro fantasy teams on here include Milik. Just want to warn people that whilst it appears that he had a good season this year, he only scored 6 goals against teams in the top half of the league. Also look at this international goals, he got 1 against Germany in a competitive game but very little apart from that.

    Europa League doesn't get much buzz in the US, so I'm wondering how big a deal winning is. I always thought of the final as the competition to be the 33rd best team in Europe. But it seems like maybe it's a little bigger deal than that.

      Well it's the runner up competition no doubt but a final is a final and since they added CL qualifying to it, there is more riding on it. A lot of other countries have teams that are CL qualifiers every year (Spain, Germany, France etc) and so for the teams under them Europa becomes their main option. I would say it's like winning the league cup.

      It's important for clubs from smaller leagues and small football nations. But UEFA made it more competitive recent years, and now a winner has a direct spot for CL so it's growing

      It always used to be a big deal when it was known as the Uefa cup, and has to a certain extent remained a big deal throughout most of Europe since it changed name/format, except in England where it has only started again being a big deal due to the CL place for the winner now. There it seems that the money of the CL was more important than a trophy.

        The UEFA cup used to be awesome. 2nd, 3rd and maybe 4th in the league in a cup competition. I think it used to be harder to win then the champions cup. Agreed, the CL is a wh*res trophy, always has been and always will be.

      It is a European trophy which every non-English team wants to win. Teams are generally proud to represent their country amongst Europes elite.

      This season has brought in an additional element whereby the winner gets CL football the following season. This has made the English media consider the tournement worthwhile.

      It is a European Trophy and a very big deal, for some reason in England it is looked down upon but with the CL spot now up for grabs I imagine it will become a bigger deal, also if Liverpool win tonight I think other teams in England will take more notice of it.

      As mentioned below when it was the UEFA cup it was a lot more prestigious in England.

      Also the win gets you straight to CL group stages, so it's like finishing 2nd/3rd in BPL

        I still wouldn't say 17th best in Europe.

        Winning the Europa is much greater feat than getting knocked out of the CL in the second round.

        Liverpool beat Dortmund, one of the top teams in Europe, and Villarreal, 4th/5th best defensive team in Europe this season in order to progress to the final and they still have a very tough challenge ahead of them with Seville tonight.

      Winning the Uefa Cup was a big deal up until the last decade . I think there were two reasons while it is being seen as such 1) Due to the reformatting of the Champions League it is very difficult for the big clubs to be knocked out in the group stages and get into the Europa League 2) Teams get far more money for qualifying for the Champions League and many English teams have seen it as a distraction as a result

    Not a huge success story by FFS standards, but checking my final OR and it stands at 27k. Happy with that, my next highest FPL finish was around 120k, first time taking it seriously this year. Aimed to finish under 100k this year, maybe 10k next...?

          One spot is up for grabs. There's a list of players who could occupy it, and it depends on who is cut from Joachim Löw's final squad.

          Wouldn't just dismiss Brandt if he makes the final cut though, he's been one of the form youngsters in Europe this past 6 months.

    What you guys think, how much will Mahrez, Vardy, Rashford, Hazard, Payet, Ali cost next season?

    I think Mahrez will cost at least 11M. Vardy around 9.5. Rashford maybe 8M. Hazard max 9M. Payet 9.5M. Ali around 10. I also think that Martial and Rooney should be moved to midfield category. Martial is sometimes winger, sometimes inside forward, never striker.

    Given all the points I left on my bench this season, I think I'm going to run a 2nd team next year as an experiment. It'll have exactly the same squad and will mirror my transfers 100%, but all the line-up and captain choices will be made by random number generator.

    Good afternoon everyone.

    I have a question in rules. Was there a time when a WC was played, the FT of that week was carried to the following week (you have 2 FT the week after the WC) ? I remember this being the case at some point of time but I don't remember when. Certainly wasn't the case with my last WC in GW 33.
