Rashford v Fernandes: Who is the best pick for FPL 2023/24?

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has climbed from £6.5m to £9.0m in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) after recording a career-high haul of 205 points in 2022/23.

It means he now costs half a million more than Bruno Fernandes, who has dropped from £10.0m at the start of last season to £8.5m.

One hot topic our the comments section is over which Man Utd midfielder to buy, which we’ll investigate in this latest Premium Members article.

We’re using our Comparison Tool to help run the rule over the pros and cons of Rashford and Fernandes.

Rashford169.414.526.736.958.8186.2
Fernandes41421.13673.697.4355

Rashford scored 17 Premier League goals in 2022/23 – a tally beaten only by Mohamed Salah among FPL midfielders – and was in a league of his own for goal threat compared to Fernandes.

The England international registered a shot in the box and expected goal (xG) at roughly twice the speed, with just over half of Fernandes’ efforts taken from outside of the area.

It’s also worth noting Fernandes’ xG figure is boosted by two penalties (more on that below). His rate of non-penalty xG last season is one every 427 minutes, compared to 355 when spot-kicks are included.

Above: Rashford (left) and Fernandes’ (right) xG shots 2022/23

Rashford’s form did drop off towards the end of the season, as he scored just three goals in his last 11 Premier League appearances from Gameweek 26 onwards.

Still, the Man Utd team as a whole generally looked more tired, as they continued to play midweek matches without reprieve.

It’s important to keep this in mind, as Rashford was still his side’s biggest goal threat during that period, leading in all of the key goal threat metrics, from shots in the box to big chances to xG.

    I was really stuck on having Bruno in my team at his price but I love the look of this draft:

    Verbruggen (Areola)
    Gabriel Saliba Estupiñan (Beyer, Baldock)
    Salah Saka Maddison Foden Mitoma
    Haaland Nkunku (Archer)

    If Joao Pedro becomes a realistic starting option over preseason I’d probably switch to 3-4-3 and go Bruno-Ndombele-Joao Pedro over Maddison-Mitoma-Archer. United’s first five fixtures don’t look that great and we don’t know how Mount will impact Fernandes, Maddison could also thrive under a very attacking setup!

        Arsenal’s pairing of Saliba and Gabriel had 12 CS and 25 goals conceded in 27 games prior to Saliba’s injury.

        After Saliba’s injury, Arsenal had 2 CS and 18 goals conceded in just 11 games.

        I think recency bias is making us forget how solid this defensive partnership was, Saliba was the second highest scoring defender in points per game prior to injury and Gabriel was not too far off either. Love the pairing at 5.0 each.

            Gabriel was as good as Saliba last season. I don't think Saliba & Ben White would make nearly as good a partnership (unless we're talking about a 3-way!). They are both RCBs who can play RB.

        I’m really high on Nkunku. He’s UCL proven and when you watch him play you can just tell he’s a different class of player altogether.

        Chelsea’s fixtures are really solid, Poch should get that team going after a solid preseason, and I’d expect Nkunku to be on pens and free kicks. He can make goals out of nothing with his long shots, and he’s one of the best finishers in the world right now. I’d be reluctant if he was 8.5 and up but he’s an absolute steal at 7.5. I’ve been a fan of his for a while though, so I could be biased! 🙂

    I currently have mount and havertz in my midfield. Not seeing them picked a lot.

    Mount will get goals from midfield in that united team I think and havertz is a bit of a gamble but I’m thinking he’s an odegaard. Someone who was very promising and highly rated but then made a bad move but in the right system and players around him will get goals and assists

      Problem with Kai IMO is that he's battling for points against Ode, Saka, and Martinelli, not to mention Jesus up front...

      Don't personally seeing him involved in too many goals compared to those 4.

      Would be a nice differential if it came off, but risky.

      On Mount, I fully expect him to take a few weeks to really get into it at United

                Many moons ago when I used to support MU they did the same with a great player Kanchelskis and it,pissed me off big time.
                After numerous visits to North London in the early 90s and the intro of Wenger ball I swopped allegiance.
                Easy in my case as a South African to switch I know .

                  Kanchelskis shot himself in the foot by having his agent try to give Fergie £40k for a new contract not long after George Graham got done for dodgy dealings. He then chose to leave because of gametime. Can’t blame the club for that when Beckham was breaking through.

    Not certain on the keeper situation yet - will probably look to see what the Brentford situation is (if raya stays maybe him over ramsdale and go for a 4.0 backup?).

    If I can save 0.5 on keepers then Macallister -> Mbuemo may be tempting

        I will probably be able to gain 0.5 by switching from spending 9.5 on keepers to 9.0, so rashford may be affordable in that instance - for minutes though brunoF is better- will be interesting to see if Mount or hum takes the slightly more defensive role (hoping for mount as a cm and fern as a am)

    Feels like trent vs Salah is the biggest debate as its unlikely that both will fit into a good team with haaland. Assuming it could be done with 2 4.0 keepers and a 4.0 defender but I don't think there is a guaranteed starter at 4.0 in goal - and keeper points can be crucial (but more crucial than trent salah and haaland being in your team??).

    I wonder if we will see Trent Salah Haaland teams with 1 fodder (be it a 4.0 keeper, 4.0 defender or a 4.5 forward or midfielder)

    Thoughts so far:

    Saka + Gabriel extremely likely to be in my team. Almost certain to have a third Arse, probably Jesus but maybe Odegaard.

    Haaland extremely likely to be in my team. Given the fixtures, there's a good chance I will gamble on a 7.5 City mid based on pre-season. Probably will avoid a triple up and won't get a defender due to rotation threat and lack of attacking options.

    Not fully decided on Salah Vs Trent, but certain I won't have both. It's possible but unlikely I'll go for neither. Salah the best c for GW2 but 4m more than Saka, Bruno etc. is steep. With the abundance of value in defence it's very doable to get a good squad with him in though. Will probably avoid all other Liverpool players unless an attacking player stands out as being completely nailed from pre-season.

    Will probably start the season with one of Bruno or Rashford, depending on how useful the 0.5 can be elsewhere. It's highly unlikely I'll start with both as Arsenal and City have better fixtures but will probably own both at some point. Would be surprised if I go into GW1 without either.

    Good fixtures means I'm likely to go for whichever 4.5 Chelsea defender appears to be nailed from pre-season.

    Not interested in Spurs for now.

    Estupiñán very likely to come in with great fixtures. Reasonable chance a Brighton attacker too but will have to watch some pre-season to determine who. But if I do go with Salah, Saka, Bruno, City mid, Haaland, Jesus, there's not really enough budget left for a Mitoma.

    I'm a Sheffield United fan so hoping I can squeeze Baldock and Ndiaye in there 😀
