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?

    Pep was bought to City to win the CL.

    He hasn't come anywhere close despite inheriting one of the most expensive squads in football history and then spending hundreds of millions more.

    Disasterclass.

      Spot on. Klopp is miles ahead, especially considering resources.

        Debate has been put to bed in last 2 seasons in my opinion.

      But but

    So EPL is the best league in the world but no representation even in last 4.. hmm 😕

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      3 of the last 4 finalists were from the EPL 😆

      1. KGFC

        6 years, 22 days ago

        Yet before Pool won last year, the last time an English team won was way back in 2012. Chelsea fyi. 🙂

      Clutching.

  3. Kristobal

    Best 6.5 mid?

    Is Foden nailed on after Silvas departure or is Perez a better and safer pick?

    Best 4.5 defenders?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      He was nailed even with Silva around!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      Not even Pep is nailed!

    Looking forward to PSG vs Bayern final, as impressive as Bayern have been this season.. I think PSG with Mbappe and Neymar are probably the best suited team to exploit the space in behind the Bayern defence..should be an entertaining final unless there is another surprise in the semis .

  5. Gazza2000

    Was looking forward to Man City vs Bayern 🙁

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years

    Really wanted to see City smashed by Bayern 🙁

      Paris might say hello yet, hopefully not.

    2. KGFC

      Don't the breaches pre-date the domestic treble win?

        (The fact that the CAS overturned the decision notwithstanding)

    Let's look at the most important part of all this. Is Big Ginger Kev now available for GW1?

      Ginger?

    Small joy: the lack of replays fueling City fan claims of a conspiracy against them. Love it.

    1. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      There have never been replays in this.

      1. sully29

        Oh, I know.

  12. SADIO SANÉ

    PSG-Lyon final is the one we all want

  13. el polako

    Happy to see all German - French semi finals, especially after some people on here calling Bundesliga & Ligue1 mickey mouse leagues.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      Well said. So many EPL “customers” look down on other leagues as being inferior just as we watch another EPL team choke yet again.

  14. FPL_Devil
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    So city will start the season with Everyone else?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      They lost this one to start gw1!

  15. Shark Team

    Wash your mouth from now on all you proud PL fans when you talk about Farmers League!

    1. Railwayman
      • 13 Years

      This

  16. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    Classic Sterling and City defence being just City defence, no big surprises really.

  17. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    So if OGS does that (starting 100 CM's ) and loses LOL at him.

    If DDG makes mistake. LOL at him.

    I'm very interested in watching what people think about this.

    Not going to compare Raz to Rashford because rashford is way better player !!

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      I’m trying to work out why it’s not an all British final - most of the PL is perfect - rare to see mistakes there

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 22 days ago

        😛

  18. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      Yes if they play Monday night, which PL will try to make happen probably

      1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Nice ! It will be more interesting if that happens as much more to choose from

  19. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    The way this 2020 has been I feel we’re gonna end up seeing Leipzig- Lyon final

  20. Granville

    City players available GW1. Makes it much more interesting.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      Yesss

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      I thought they still miss GW1, but are back for GW2?

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 22 days ago

        Read my comment above

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 22 days ago

          Oh, okay. Kind of disappointing as there's not as much complexity with City available straight away...

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 22 days ago

            Aguero/Sterling/KDB picking one of them should be fun tho

    3. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      No i think 2

    4. The 12th Man

      Makes it easier to hold onto a WC longer.

    5. el polako

      Just dont get their defenders

      1. FOO FIGHTER

        This

    6. Greek Freak

      Maximus' plan of starting with blanking players in tatters.

    7. FPL Pillars
      • 10 Years

      Yup!

      Doubt it

      Internationals week before so 3 days to train

    10. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…

      Agree

    11. EgyptianKing
      • 8 Years

      Is this confirmed?

    12. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Just when I finished my team 🙁

  21. Hughes the Daddy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Just confirmed, Sterling's shot has now landed. Early reports suggest Jupiter.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      No it's on alpha century

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      I was just thinking the same. I quite like the look of Auba and Salah in my current draft.

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Reply fail. I meant to respond to Oldbenkenobi, below.

  22. OldBenKenobi

    Dunno if I want any City players in my team after this performance 😆

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      It was a poor goal from KdB that’s true and I only want him for the cs bonus

  23. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    Sterling won't get over this easily, not an option for a while now

  24. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    Nice one Lyon

  25. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years

    The so called two "farmer leagues" dominating the champions league.. You'd love to see it. And now City is eligble for gw1

  26. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    City can concentrate on the league now at least

  27. Pras (FPL)
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 22 days ago

    Do you hear that?

    That’s the sound of Auba leaving your draft for City assets.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      😀

    2. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      Good one 😀

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years

      😛

    4. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      Depending on fixtures, auba stays over city. Someone did the math and auba would have had 240+ points as mid last season

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 22 days ago

        They did the maths wrong

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 22 days ago

          My maths say 458

          1. Moderately content penguin
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 22 days ago

            Multiply by 2 then divide by 3 and add 237

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      Auba is staying in mine 🙂

    6. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      After that performane?

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 22 days ago

        Not based on 1 game. We know what you get with City by now.

    7. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 22 days ago

      No way, Auba picks himself.

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 22 days ago

        Who do you sacrifice though? Sterling, Salah or KDB?

        1. Pedersen
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 22 days ago

          I don't have Salah. Or mane. But might do swapping, as Salah scored way more points when playing at home, while auba points came from playing lower end teams.

    What a story for Lyon, loved their CL runs in the 00’s.

    7th in a very poor league but that was some performance.
