Our series of team-by-team refresher articles continues with a look at Manchester United, as the clock ticks down on the Fantasy Premier League resumption in June.

Taking data from Gameweeks 24-29 as a jumping-off point for wider discussion, we will be analysing the Red Devils’ prospects for the season run-in and pinpointing the Fantasy assets who could prosper in the remaining nine Gameweeks.

United certainly have one of the more appealing fixture schedules in Gameweeks 30+ to 38+, playing only one of the ‘big six’ and half a dozen of the clubs currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

In decent form shortly before coronavirus stopped play, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will also welcome back Marcus Rashford (£8.8m) and Paul Pogba (£8.3m) from injury when we recommence this month.

With this article borrowing heavily from the data available in our Members Area, only subscribers of Fantasy Football Scout can read on.

    Lord Lundstram essential then?

    1. FOMFF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      of course

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years

      why whats happened?

      1. FOMFF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        2 against hull today

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          FML thats done it.

        2. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          cant trust he starts though can you ?

          1. FCSB
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Tough one isn’t it, started last prem game v Norwich and assisted

          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Massive punt. I was on it before today. Think he gets one game surely. Definitely not as secure as the others

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            • 17 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Friendly doesn't mean too much tbf

    3. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Did Berge play too?

    4. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No clearer evidence of any City player starting either. Take your 12 points and run...

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Triple captain material

      Will probably get two hattricks & couple of Clean sheets

  2. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Got FH, BB and WC. I’m leaning to a FH - any strong views as to whether to FH or BB?

    Pope, mccarthy,
    Taa, boly, saiss, targett, lascelles
    Salah, mane, kdb, saka, hwilson
    Jimi, dcl, abraham

    Value in jimi (£0.5m), Taa (£0.3m), salah (£0.2m) and a few others

    Opinions appreciated

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would use the unlimited transfers...I have value in my team and will want a few players back ASAP but will be shifting the others around to slot some DGW players in

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Value the key*

        Can't decide...

    2. Hibbo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Is this your team now or ideal team?

      Either way its pish, use the unlimited transfers.

      You want that team back again?

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Could be a sweet move. The value most of us are losing for one gameweek and a couple of doubles which may end up with our dgw players not even playing 2 i am playing with the idea myself.

      How much value will you save ?

  3. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    FF team attempt no1

    Henderson
    Stevens - Bellerin - Lundstram/O Connell*
    KDB - Sterling - Pepe - Grealish
    Auba - Aguero - Pukki

    subs doesn't exists

    I am still undecided whether lundstram or oconnell. I prefer the former but he can be rotated..

  4. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Baldock or lord? No wc or chips available!

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lord scored 2 v Hull today

    2. Young Lingard
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Get the early team news and go lund if he starts I guess
      I’m provisionally on Baldock

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Good shout, they are the first fixture so might be some leaks

      2. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        this seems like a good call... Baldock nearly guaranteed 2 games though ? Literally played every minute

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yes hes definitely the safer pick . If chasing though a punt on lundy seems fair.

  5. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    arsenal line up after 3 2 defeat against brentford

    First half XI: Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, Pablo Mari, Tierney; Willock, Ceballos, Saka; Pepe, Nketiah, Aubameyang

    Second half XI: Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, David Luiz, Tierney; Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Ozil; Aubameyang, Lacazette, Saka

    Subs:

    60 – Martinez for Leno
    60 – Sokratis for Bellerin
    60 – Holding for Mustafi
    60 – Kolasinac for Tierney
    60 – Nelson for Aubameyang
    60 – Martinelli for Saka

    On FH, best option?

      • 6 Years

      2 or 3. Not villa players I can’t see why people are playing them when most have 2 or 3 Sheffield defender and the other game is Chelsea

  7. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo is better in a long term BB30+ team (i.e. not FHing yet and no WC either)

    Leno & Egan
    Henderson & Luiz

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A only because Hendo doesn’t play 31

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

  8. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any reason for grealish not to start due to him breaking lockdown?

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      herpes and/or crabs

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      100% no

    3. Young Lingard
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No reason
      Villa would Not lose sleep over any poorly written article about them deciding to start their best player
      They would however lose around 40million however if they got relegated
      He’s playing both games if fit Whether not not he’s a prat is irrelevant
      Certainly put him in your team
      Good luck

    4. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years

      nope

    5. Hibbo
      • 13 Years

      Aye hes not going to play the rest of thr season apparently.

  9. Ajax Hamsterdam

    reina should begin both matches right ? thanks

  10. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all, good but strange to be back.
    Thoughts on strategy so far?

    WC, FH and BB remaining...would you suggest...
    A FH
    B Unlimited transfers
    to sort this current team out?

    Pope/Hendo
    Saiss, TAA, Lascelles, Taylor, Egan
    Salah, Mane, Dendoncker, Saka, KDB
    Vardy, Ings, Jimi

    0.6m ITB - thanks

    Anyone else addicted to football manager on mobile on my 9th season with Man Utd now, rashford is 30

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just finished my first season with United.

      Won league, fa cup and UEFA cup.

      Just sold pogba to Chelsea for 85m as his contract was running down....and signed milinkovic savic for 100m! Happy days

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        just finished my first season at Barca and thats my midfield pairing. Both signed for around £85m each

    2. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mobile version is a gateway-game.

      Try on a Mac/PC and Rashford will be retiring... from management... before you know it.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So true

      2. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        addictive ? not sure I want to get into it and lose anymore free tie to football related stuff

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          If you don't have vast amounts of free time like me, then mobile is the one.

          But yeah I'd guess its pretty basic compared to the more advanced versions.....I just don't have time for that...

          1. @fpl_phenom
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            2 small kids... so id say id going for the mobile version too, lol

      3. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I managed to win the Champions League with Norwich on my second season on the full FM, probably the most I've accomplished during lockdown. Actually, probably the most I've accomplished for years to be fair.

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      how long does it take to do a season ?

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Mobile one? Hard to say. But you can dip in and out at leisure.

        It fits the job of you don't want something all encompassing and all time consuming.

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          nice one mate , ill give it a look

          1. Babit1967
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Mobile I prefer as easier to get a home specially with kids

            1. Babit1967
              • 10 Years

              Game now home

  12. jimmyabs1987
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    David Silva getting at least 90 right!?

    1. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No, especially as he’s leaving at end of season I rekon pep might start foden more to try him out in that role

  13. jimmyabs1987
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Team for GW 30 BB and going to WC 31

    Leno, Hendo
    Lund, Stevens, TAA, Mings, Hanley
    Salah, D Silva, KDB, Grealish, Barnes
    Aguero, Nketiah, Jiminez

    10 DGW players and BB

    Thoughts?

    1. 11 smelly shirts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That looks pretty well set up. If there are any weak links than most likely Mings and Hanley. Wouldn't expect more than 4 points from Mings.
      Could also imagine to upgrade D. Silva and Grealish, but this is just a personal feeling as I don't trust both on consistency

  14. 11 smelly shirts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'm currently thinking about the following team:
    Henderson (Krul)
    TAA, Mendy, Egan, (Taylor, Aarons)
    Salah, KdB, H. Barnes, Mount, Fleck
    Aguero (C), Jiminez (Nketiah)

    Not sure yet if I should bench boost or triple captain.
    What are your thoughts?

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      BB, get points in bag! Who knows when it will stop again haha

      1. 11 smelly shirts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, valid point. So far still not sure what gives me more points BB or TC if Aguero rans bunkers as he often does duing DGWs

    2. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TC, I don’t think that bench is worth boosting

      1. 11 smelly shirts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, very good point. Used a lot of budget to get Aguero in

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TC, unlikely will we have DGW till end of the season

    Why is no one including vardy in their teams he’s a 90 min man with most goals so far?

    1. GreennRed

      No DGW. Can get him after 30+

      I've had him since GW1, would love to keep him but Auba and Kun seem essentials this week. It's difficult to keep him if you've also got the likes of KDB and Sterling too. I think most like me have Jimenez in the third striker slot and want him for the remaining games. They also have significant value tied up in him and it seems a waste to switch him out just for the DGW.

      My front 3 will be Rash, Jimi and DCL going forward.

    Really not sure whether to use unlimited transfers to load on DGW players or free hit.
    I like my team!
    I have BB, WC, FH left

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why waste a FH when you can pick a strong 11 and fodder and FH could be useful later with uncertain lineups?

      1. StayoutheSpiceZone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        TV I suppose. Couldn't afford my current team back again

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          There is that plus alright,fair point. Just put Button, Simpson both 3.9 and a filler fodder mid to save a few quid. Gonna stick Douglas Luiz in at 4.4 and prob bench him until WC a few GWs in.

          1. StayoutheSpiceZone
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Exactly, I would then be returning to the team that I have got and still have a WC if things get crap and a bench boost to play later on.
            If I bench boost this week I would still have minimum 3 SGW players anyway

        Aye im just not getting this at all.

        Seems like the ultimate in absolute contrariness.

        1. StayoutheSpiceZone
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          what, you mean what I am saying?

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Means it was a shite decision to give unlikely transfers

                  should have given us a wildcard chip or nothing I think

    Mings or Targett? Mings guaranteed to play 180 where as Targett maybe starts 1 and benched for the other? Obv target far higher ceiling for pts

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Neither. Not expecting many CS from most teams.

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not sure why people think Targett will be benched, he's got 60+ mins in 20 out of 23 games, and the turnaround isn't that quick (4 days). But I am very doubtful of clean sheets for Villa or attacking returns from Targett (1 assist every 10 games) so maybe Mings is the better option, bank those 3 or 4 points.
