How will new positions at Man United affect their FPL assets in 2020/21?

Fantasy Premier League managers will have to entirely re-think how best to invest in Manchester United’s attack for the 2020/21 season.

The game-makers at FPL Towers have wielded their position-changing axe and reclassified no fewer than three key Red Devil assets for the new campaign.

Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) and Mason Greenwood (£7.5m) have been converted into midfielders to reflect their roles on the flanks of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attacking midfield trio, while Anthony Martial (£9.0m) has moved into the forwards bracket.

Fernandes haul raises the bar for top 10k's most popular captain Salah

These changes are sure to impact squad selection for the new season, but could also affect the appeal of Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) who has remained a midfielder.

To fully assess which of the Manchester United attackers appeal the most for 2020/21, we have pulled out some key statistics from Project Restart, the only time that Fernandes, Rashford, Greenwood and Martial started matches consistently at the same time.

Which United attacker was in the penalty box most often?

        A quick look at the stats says he made six PL errors last season, more than De Gea. Was also 11th in terms of save percentage.

          I don't know what constitutes an error, or whether an error constitutes a blunder (David Luiz conceded 0 errors leading to chances and 2 errors leading to goal, which seems low), but few would argue that DDG was better. Achieving a high save percentage is difficult when your team concede the lowest number of shots from outside the box by 22.

          He's not amazing, but the stats ignore stuff like this: https://twitter.com/R9sus_/status/1283447704081891333
