Martial comes through injury doubt to start for Man United

Anthony Martial (£7.6m) has come through his pre-match injury doubts to start for Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that he wasn’t sure if the Frenchman could feature from the beginning in Gameweek 16 but it looks as if he might have been playing mind-games ahead of such an important match.

Martial’s presence means that Manchester United’s attack is largely at full-strength for their trip across the city, Marcus Rashford (£8.8m) and Daniel James (£6.1m) either side of him.

However, the main Fantasy focus of this match is naturally going to be on the hosts and, thankfully, there are very few shocks and surprises.

Raheem Sterling (£11.9m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) form two-thirds of the front-three with Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) also included in the starting line-up.

Kevin de Bruyne (£10.3m) and David Silva (£7.6m) are both present in central midfield while Angeliño (£4.7m) gets a second start in a row at left-back.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Angeliño, Fernandinho, Stones, Walker; de Bruyne, D Silva, Rodrigo; Sterling, Jesus, B Silva.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Lingard, D James; Martial.

      There is a chance that Ferguson will rise tonight as well

    Mark sold Martial and captained Sterling. Today's result wasn't in the script.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years

      Mark doesn't know

    2. Sailboats

    KDB to Son for a hit Y/N?

    Or just get Alli for Puli

    1. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kdb still good but son for a hit too much perhaps for free.

    2. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Alli for puli better.

    Looking at a 100k jump in rank, huzzah!

    KDB and Greenwood to Dendoncker and Rashford on the cards for me. Rashford to surely outscore KDB over Xmas period.

    An excellent City defeat only marred by a United win

  22. Planet Head

    Looks like most of the top 10k won't qualify for the fantasy cup first round. Funny week

    1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      54 points with 4 left, live rank jumped from 1401 to 240...

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years

      how so?

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

      Lol They're never going to win it so why even bother? At least they save themselves the embarrassment of being knocked out by a ghost team with only 4 active players.

    KDB ➡ Son for free?
    Yay or Nay?

    33 is a small green for me 169-140k. Ings, Vardy, Moutinho, Lunds & Hendo left. Thats pretty good right? Really need Leicester not to get a cs to guarantee it
