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.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

Which United attacker was in the penalty box most often?

      You can be sure I’m in as always

  2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Bruno, Greenwood, Martial, Rashford all good options

  3. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Am I the only here who think they did lazy job with pricing? All those heavy hitters are 0.5-1.0 M underpriced.

    Easy to fit in 4 big hitters+TAA

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Got an example team?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        4.5-4.0
        Taa-4.5-4.5-4.5-4.0
        Salah-Sterling-Bruno-Foden-Soucek
        Kane-Mitro-4.5

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Ah the old turd defence trick, that's what I usually do

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Lol no. Vinagre, Taylor, Dallas, Ferguson doesnt look turd to me 🙂

        2. Sanchit
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          You are playing Foden , Nitro and two 4.5 Def's in your starting 11. With two of your 4 premiums being 10.5
          I think that's a compromise.
          How do you get Auba in for Bruno?

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            By selling Kane for Werner/Martial for example if needed. Foden is great value imo and should do well for that price. Mitro is perfect 2nd or third striker

        3. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          How about

          Leno
          TAA Doherty Basham Pieters
          Salah Bruno Auba ASM
          Jimmy Mitro

          Nyland Davis Rice Branthwaite

      2. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Playing around I found this a bit earlier - won’t be to everyone’s taste but something analogous was great early last season.

        4.5 4.0’
        TAA Dallas Vinagre KWP 4.0
        Mo Auba Son Koucek 4.5
        Vardy Werner 4.5

        4.0 back = Mitchell very possible start
        4.5 mid = Gordon possible start

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Pretty good-Vinagre does help, can't see attacking returns for him though

          1. Moderately content penguin
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Agreed really

            Spent half a season on Jonny not Doherty in 18/19 - can’t see he’ll do better.

          2. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Have you checked his underlying stats? Imho I remember him being considered as attacking def in Championship, but he didn't get much game time.

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 14 days ago

              The LWB just doesn't have the same role as Doh imo, but I could easily be wrong

        2. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Not bad setup.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      50m between 10 players?

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Agree totally. It's to keep the masses engaged

    4. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      I made a team like that and it only works with Bamford as solo striker and no bench

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        No, i think they've done a great job. I've had to heavily rethink my pre-prices draft. Loads of tricky decisions. Nothing approaching a template team here.

        1. ㅤRising
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          "I've had to heavily rethink my pre-prices draft."
          Oh boy.

    5. el polako
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      The whole point of the game is to own right players at the right time - dont get overly influenced by price.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        No matter how many seasons pass, people forget about this

      Think the opposite, other than Bobby..

    8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      Totally agree about this. Big hitters are underpriced. Firmino tho.. 9.5, lolllll!

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Should have been 1M less

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Kdb has been poor

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Up until that wonder pass then...

      Sterling should have scored...

      1. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        A touch by the defender put him off his stride.

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        That's the difference now they are the same price. Kdb will assist, Sterling will be finishing. Think Sterling is slightly the better choice.

  5. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    KDB already >60% ownership
    Will be >100% EO in GW1 in the scoreline holds!

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      Still blank regardless I think as it’s the 15th today and league starts 12th

  6. @persecuted_by_mods
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Think they did a great job, there's a lot of variety in teams now

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Reply fail

    2. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      I think so too. A lot of the big hitters (Mane the main exception) are cheaper than I expected, and the pricing makes you feel like you can fit everyone in your team. And then you check the balance and you're 8m overbudget!

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        I think if auba wasnt reclassified we would have very sinilar teams again. The extra premium mid changes the whole structure of the team

        1. Greek Freak
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Good point.

  7. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    KDB's been getting corners and wide free kicks on target for 2 games in a row now.

  8. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Mahrez > KDB

  9. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Who do you think will be the value 4.5m picks at the back?

    1. el polako
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Taylor & Dallas.

      1. UnitedFan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        What's the craic with Dallas?

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Doherty oop repeat? Very attacking and Leeds had similar record to SU and Wolves in Champ

        2. el polako
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Nailed, cheap, 4 goals & 4 assists last season.

          1. Greek Freak
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            The hot topic on Leeds assets would say he's not nailed.

            1. el polako
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 14 days ago

              35 apperances last season or are mine numbers wrong ?

              1. Greek Freak
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 14 days ago

                Nope, I got it wrong, apologies. Thought we were talking about Douglas for some reason!

          2. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Don't rate him one bit having watched quite a bit of Leeds last season. Ayling much better bet.

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 14 days ago

              Not what the stats suggest but Ayling is also intriguing option.

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Vinagre, maybe Saliba.

    3. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Vinaigre, Saliba, Taylor

    4. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Saliba, Vinagre, Dallas&Ayling, Williams, KWP, Taylor/Pieters and quite a few others

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        KWP could do really well at SOU

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Yes, KWP has a decent cross on him. Good assist potential.

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Pieters?

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Vinagre

  10. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 11 Years

    Think I will go with something like this (KDB/Fernandes will be Auba/10.5 mill if the Manchester clubs are out in gw1)

    Martinez
    TAA, Doherty, Ayling, Digne
    KDB, Salah, Fernandes, Trézéguet
    Ings, Mitrovic

    Nyland, Ferguson, Vassilev, Bissouma

  12. Lebowski85
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    First draft. Obviously likely to change depending on signings and fixtures. Fun to play though. Going to try the premium defender route again after it was scuppered last year

    McCarthey (4 0)
    TAA Robbo Laporte Saliba Ayling
    Auba Salah Bruno ASM Soucek
    Wood Mitrovic (4.5)

      Missing a city mid

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Should have specified. This is assuming city don't play GW1

  13. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Wow KDB.

  14. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Could Kdb and City be a bit burned out come gw 1? , not much chance to relax compared to eg Liv.

    1. Nemes1s
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Good point and despite rotation, KDB very likely to play as getting a good start so important. Burn out risk for sure

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Regardless of when their CL campaign ends Pep will cry for more and more time off, they’ll get good rest.

  15. Nightcrawler

    6 years, 14 days ago

    Is there a more overrated team than man city? Seen people going around saying city will be the favourites to win the league. Not with that defence

      Please wait.
      Please don't jinx it.
      Let the game finish first 🙂

  18. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Why didn't/don't Sane and Mahrez get the respect they deserve? Both quality

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      No idea.

      Might be their defensive contribution or some other thing we're not trained to see.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        This is very good point. Or just baldy thing

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Can't understand it myself. Mahrez the second-best City player last season after KDB. Perhaps he doesn't fit Pep's system

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Sane with that Bayern team next season 😆

    4. El Magico5
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      If Mahrez was nailed on 60 mins a game he'd be in everyones team. Too much a risk to put in at the start.

    5. ☈☾
      • 8 Years

      Defensive set up against counter attacks

  19. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    I am a bit baffled at how Pep set up for this game?

    1. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Defensive lineup for the away game. They will crush them at the Etihad...

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        I thought that's Ethiad 😛

      2. el polako
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Atmosphere matches Etihad, they should feel at home.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          High Five

      3. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        😉

      4. Sanchit
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Lol what?
        He tried to match Lyon's 5 ATB system. Most managers are not confident with playing4 ATB against a team playing wingbacks.
        Saw every team playing with wingbacks against Chelsea when Conte was leading them.

    2. BrutalLogiC
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Not alone

    3. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      To not concede for an hour then unleash Foden and Mahrez. Also got the 2 Silvas in reserve.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        I’d have thought going for the first early goal and then doing that would be more obvious. Forcing Lyon to have to come at them would leave them exposed for the counter.

  20. Bumbaclot
    • 15 Years

    Anyone else think greenwood at 2 mil less than rashford is a no brainer?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Nailed in my team when they play.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      If no Sancho, Greenwood is in everyone’s team.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Period

    3. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      He's the most mispriced player in the game. Essential

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Dunno but Martial & Greenwood for 16.5m does look a most tempting Utd pairing at this early planning stage.

    5. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Is he going to play every game? I don't think so

    Despite having a slow defence, Lyon are playing a high line vs City (Beeb). Have teams shown them too much respect in England. Norwich went toe to toe and won.

    1. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Most teams managed to score against City in England too. The difference is that a lot of the teams don’t know to defend in Premier League.

      Also most PL teams, even the bottom half ones, have a bigger budget than Lyon but a lot of them just waste their budgets on terrible players.

      Teams do show the top teams too much respect. That said this is all peps fault for playing 3 DMs

      1. Sanchit
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Fernandinho is playing as a CB!
        Rodri number 6
        Gundo number 8.

        Are you even watching the match or going by their FIFA cards positions?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          No he is not playing CB. He is playing on the right of a 3 midfield with Rodri and Gundogan.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Going off of what Gary Lineker just said anyway.

        2. Brosstan
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Ok so he plays with 3 CBs and 2 DMs, not 2CBs and 3DMs. What a difference

          1. Brosstan
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            In fact thats even more pathetically defensive

    Anybody heard about fixture leak?saw something in Fb..

    1. Andy_Social

      It's been posted. Not sure whether to believe it but should get confirmation soon enough.

        Fine..

    3. @fpl_phenom

      it shows both utd and city with home fixtures same week, I highly doubt its accurate at all

  23. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Anybody else feel like going triple pool defense just so they can get Auba (instead of Salah)?

    1. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Worth thinking about

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      \o/

      Feels very risky though. Taa Robbo looks enough. Mo or No Mo

    3. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      If you’ll be ok with going into an easy home game without Salah and Mane when Salah will have ~150% EO, then yes. I personally am against it, Salah is the 1st player in my team.

      The issue here isn’t choosing Auba over Salah but not having the flexibility to get a Liverpool attacker without using 2 transfers.

    4. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      I've tripled - see below. But no Auba - just the one premium to get balance across the squad with no weak starters.

    5. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Yep, Auba and KDB can more or less match Salah - doubt any defender can beat those three

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Just get Doherty & go 4 atb then ?

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Yeah maybe

    6. Sanchit
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      You can go two pool defense and Auba as well. No compulsion to get 3 Liverpool players.

    7. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      With Matip you can get Salah and Auba, no?

  24. Andy_Social
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    I'm really liking what I've got now. Manc players won't be in at the start:

    Martinez + McCarthy
    TAA, Robbo, VVD, Garcia, (Vinagre)
    KDB (c), Greenwood, Foden, (Saint-Maximin, Smallbone)
    Werner, Martial, Antonio

    4-3-3

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Even if they lose today?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        City will come in GW2 - I'll get the 3 Citizens and bench them. Placeholders for Martial and Greenwood (Vardy or Ings will be one)

    2. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      I like Martial&Werner as forward line (got them myself), but team looks to light in midfield for me.

    3. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      I feel you need to switch one of the forward premiums to a midfield premium.

      More transferable and flexible among premiums if you set up your price points right.

    4. Sanchit
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      The problem with this setup is probably lack of a second big hitter in midfield. What if KDB is doing good but Auba is in fire?
      You want both , but that doesn't seem achievable in 2-3 easy transfers as you have spread the money all across?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Yes, the lack of a second premium is a concern. But to rectify it would mean weakening two positions. I prefer the structure where one premium results in 10 strong outfield players.

  25. ㅤRising
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    Everyone and their dog seems to have Soucek and as a first eleven player.Why?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      He's 5m and quite attacking, perfect enabler unless Gordon nails a place for 4.5m.

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        I think he might. Carlo likes him and he was more or less the only positive Everton took from the last 6 games

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          I took Soucek out to strengthen my defence. I'm wondering about my 4.5 midf benchie - Bissouma, Smallbone or Gordon are my current thoughts.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Enabler who’s dangerous every time West Ham put a ball in the box.

    3. el polako
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      New Fellaini (the good Everton days one).

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Best value budget midfielder IMO (no decent 4.5m options either)

    5. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      This year's silly group think FFS bandwagon. Never forget Tom Cairney

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        There is a big difference between two of them - Soucek already delivered the goods in PL.

        1. Sanchit
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Delivered the goods? 3 goals in half a season?

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            6 years, 14 days ago

            A third of a season, and he's 5.0

          2. el polako
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Yes exaclty this, playing for them in the relegation dogfight.
            What more u want frok 5.0m mid ?

            1. Sanchit
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 14 days ago

              I would not be comfortable with a starter in my team who scores a goal every 5-6 matches. I'd rather have two mid priced midfielders rather than one big hitters and soucek

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                6 years, 14 days ago

                That's fair enough but that's totally ignoring West ham's improvement and that normally as a player settles in they get better too

              2. el polako
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 14 days ago

                Why every 5-6 matches ?
                He looked dangerous after lockdown most likely needed some adjusting time. Simply adding up numbers is not best practice when juding new commers in PL.

                It’s a good job he scores every 4 matches on average then

          3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            He’s played 13 games for them tbf, not half a season

            And he got 3 goals in the last 7 of those

            He’s not a 12.5 so don’t be expecting miracles, but he could pop up here & there

            All you can ask for that 5.0 enabling slot, initially at least

          4. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            3 goals in 13 games (12 starts) with good xG stats backing it up look great for a fodder midfielder
            0.21 xG per 90 which is higher than JWP (0.19), Maddison (0.17), Pogba (0.16), Bergwijn (0.15), Zaha (0.14), ASM (0.14), Traore (0.13), Fleck (0.12) etc.

          5. MosF94
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            3 goals in 12 starts. That's a good return for a 5.0

    6. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      High attacking threat. He is underpriced..

      1. Sanchit
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Can you share some stats to prove his attacking threat?

        1. Greek Freak
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          0.21 xG per 90 minutes. Hardly exciting, but decent enough - that's better than the likes of Grealish, Saint-Maximin and Ward-Prowse for example.

        2. Klaren
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Sorry, to be honest I can’t bother to find the underlying stats of a player from previous season but I’m sure you can find them if you google. His positioning was higher up post-restart so those are the games to look at.

          1. Greek Freak
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Dug up his xG just above.

    7. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      He will score a few, just hope its not in the first few weeks when everyone has him

      1. Sanchit
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        I expect max 5 goals in a whole season.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Big regression to go from scoring 3 in his last 7 games to scoring 5 in his next 38!

          What have you spotted in your analysis?

          1. Long ago I drew a walrus
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 14 days ago

            Tbf 3 in 7 works out as about 16 goals in 38 and Soucek most certainly isn't a 16 goal player. There's going to be regression, most likely when WHU as a team are playing like sh** again. Hopefully they start well

    8. Zladan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Late flurry of returns and disallowed goals toward end of last season.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Also has a manager notorious for utilising B2B midfielders to get goals

        Steven Pienaar
        Tim Cahill
        Marouane Fellaini
        Tomas Soucek

        🙂

        1. MosF94
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Very good point I hadn't thought of. Soucek took pens at Slavia too, right? If Noble is phased out of the XI, maybe he gets them here too/

  26. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 14 days ago

    What is the price we reckon Matheus Pereira will have? Hopefully 6 but more likely 6.5. Really looking to get him into my team as a 4th/5th mid

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      6m, same as Grealish started last season.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Max 6m hopefully
      I don't think promoted teams tend to have players higher than that (e.g. golden boot winner Mitrovic is 6m)

  27. dicky2014

    Anyone got some good tips for getting a good / decent start in FPL? I always struggle at the start of the season 🙁

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Pick the best players of the teams with the best openings fixtures. Done.

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 14 days ago

        Didnt work with King Wilson Fraser last season 😛

        I underestimated SHU for sure

        1. Free Hat
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 14 days ago

          Yeah indeed. Wilson, Perez were mine miss and hit first gw.
          But the rest did just fine (pope, taa, vvd, dunk, salah, sterling, kane) the ones I can remember.

    2. el polako

      Dont be too "clever" go with known reliable point sources until new gems\one season wonders emerge.

    5. SADIO SANÉ
