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

295 Comments
Share

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’m backing BrunoF…

    Verbruggen
    Gabriel / Porro / Tete
    Salah / Saka / BrunoF / Mbuemo / Gross
    Haaland / Mitrovic

    Areola / Henry / Baldock / 4.5

    Front 7 all on penalties.

    Tete / Henry rotation is sweet.

    I think Bruno is reasonably priced, maybe a little expensive, but I think Rashford is a steal at 9 mil. Probably worth 10 mil with the season he had.

        Bruno only capable of that because of that nonsense VAR season with penalties.
        After that it’s 176, and 151.
        Rashford has hit 170 plus twice before, and did so without a striker helping occupy last season. Nothing to say he won’t continue to improve.

    Good article. I'm leaning towards Rashford at the moment but it wouldn't take much for me to be swayed to Fernandes. If an urgent need for 0.5m arises Rash to Bruno is a downgrade I would be comfortable with.

    When choosing fodders do you pick the most owned one or the least owned one? I'm thinking least owned one because then he won't drop in price due to selling.

      Neither, just the one I think is the best.
      People think least owned is better for protection - it isn’t. It makes it riskier as it takes less people to remove before a price drop happens.

        The rises/falls are percentage based so I don't think it makes a difference either way.

        It's better to go for the one most likely to get the most points, because when they WCs come around, those are the ones that'll get picked up as fodder.

      Most owned is actually better to protect against price drops. Under a certain % ownership it just turns into a flat transfers out figure for a drop... and that flat rate isn't particually high.

    Langerz'n'Mash is back for a sixth season on FFS.

    Seems to have started early this year and once again some bonkers player prices.

    Here's my starting draft,

    Pickford
    Saliba, Estupinan, Botman
    KdB, Son, Saka, BrunoFernandes, Mbeumo
    Haaland(C), Darwin
    (Forster, Lamptey, Beyer, Semenyo)

    Not looked at anything in any detail yet but I'm assuming I already have a few template picks based solely on the pricing.

      Loss of confidence after the pen miss probably puts some off. Maybe a lingering suspicion that he's not as good a finisher as those around him. I also expected a price of 6m

      Lukaku needs to get fit. He isn't looking lean.

      But he would be an interesting foil for Nkunku in a 4-2-3-1. But that defence does not look good enough to play a back four. No natural holding midfielder either (yet). It also kills a lot of what makes Chilwell and James good (i.e., their attacking threat).

      A little. But also if a new striker comes in, he may lose pens. Just a couple of minor marks against him but make me prefer a Rashford/Saka/Odegaard/Martinelli.

      Playing as an 8 with Mount does ease the creative burden on him.

          granted yes on pens, but I'm more referring to a deeper role, less attacking, etc. he's so versatile, I could see eth moving him around to see how it fits together. that said, im itching to start with the bruno/rashford combo

            Yeah, he excelled in that deeper role last season, progressing the ball from the defence in the build-up. Alongside Mount, you'd think Bruno would be the one to drop in transition and launch long balls on the counter.

            But once the attack is fully developed he'll still be in and around the box. And Mount may give him more space to operate... Could still get some big scores.

            It's tough, but given FPL has such a chaotic landscape, I'd rather stick with certainties like Saka, Rashford etc than go for Bruno with a couple of small question marks.

              I like all the picks, but have my doubts about the structure. Ferguson is a lot of money on the bench. I'd rather pump that into the XI.

              Reminds me of chess, where it's important to develop all your pieces on the back row and get them affecting the game as soon as possible. I see it the same with our FPL budgets.

          Hmm not sure what you're taking about. If you owned him and he was scoring every game, then that's quite good! He's been playing through injury with injections each game (during his best period). He's since had an operation and understandably struggled to get back into an excellent Arsenal team while getting back to fitness and form. He's looking great for England U21s right now and could definitely play a part next season at Arsenal. There's a lot in the air now, especially with 3 big signings, potentially.

          Rotation isn't the right word, I see him as a sure starter, but would you rather have 60-70 mins of Martinelli or 90 mins of Saka/Odegaard?

              Havertz is versatile so a threat to all attackers' mins (E.g. could play CF and push Jesus into Saka's position). But I'm willing to assume for now that he'll mostly play left-8, and otherwise, everyone is about equally at risk for mins.

                I imagine all score very similar points wise so that extra 0.5 could be the difference

                  No because as it's been explained above Martinelli is far more likely to be rotated for ESR or Trossard. No one in that Arsenal squad can do what Saka or Odegaard can do in that team so they will be less prone to said chances of rotation.

                    Wrong, its been explained that he doesn't get rotated just subbed off earlier. He's the most direct/greedy of the lot and as we can see from last season scores very similarly and is cheaper.

                      No it was explained to you that ESR wasn't a factor in said rotation as he was injured. Trossard played mainly up front when he was bought in Jan as Jesus was injured. He then proceeded to share minutes with Martinelli on the left. Both will now, this season, start some games on the left leaving Martinelli to be the one to come on, on the 70th minute.

                      What I don't understand is why people like you ask a question and then get annoyed when people that clearly know more, such as the Arsenal fan above, try to explain stuff to you.

                        No need to start getting personal/saying people like you etc, we're just discussing fantasy football. As far as i can see everyone is in agreement that Martinelli is very much first choice and the most attacking, evidence from last season indicates he will score a very similar amount of points to Saka/Odegaard and using the 0.5 saved to upgrade elsewhere could result in more points overall. There will be more rotation throughout the Arsenal team as the squad improves and when Jesus gets injured again.

                        Martinelli may still get starts on PL games and those two other more time in CL. We don't know yet for sure.

                        Even when ESR wasn't injured he wasn't a factor, Martinelli started every time, got all his points and was subbed when the game was won.

                        They're not in agreement though. Trossard was bought in January, ESR was splitting minutes on the left with Martinelli the season before last and was injured last season.

                    I don't think anything has changed between Martinelli and Trossard. Martinelli is more attacking than Øde, so he doesn't need as much time to score.

                      I'd get Martinelli if they would've priced Saka a bit higher. With these prices Saka is a no-brainer imo.

        Really depends how key Toney was to their attack for a Brentford double up and doubly so losing both Caicedo and McAllister for a Brighton defensive double up.

          I think for the short-term, Brentford will be fine as they’ve shown previously whenever Toney has been injured or when he got banned.

          Veltman wont be relied on passed Gameweek 1, hopefully.

          No, nothing in terms of Ebiowei. He was promising last pre-season, then made the occasional sub appearance and then completely disappeared. Wouldn’t be surprised if he became a gem, though.

      First crack at a draft, not sure I want to go without Salah, can imagine all the YouTube crowd scrambling to get him after he hauls in the first weeks...

      Pickford,
      Gabriel, Estupinan, James
      Saka, Mitoma, Salah, Bruno
      (H)aaland, Jesus, Pedro

      (Areola, Bell, Beyer, 4.5 mid)

      0ITB

      Any thoughts on if Pedro is actually a viable option? Otherwise might go for Ferguson over Pedro, and a 5.0 instead of James.

      Cheers!

      Having an issue ive not had for a while, ive reset my password but its not sending me any email to my inbox, i use outlook and still have a live.co.uk inbox but ive never had the issue before. Ive even set the Safe senders to allow: noreply@mailout.users.premierleague.com

      Ive requested the reset multiple times, just not having it at all, can only see inbox and junk inbox, its not appearing in either.

      Currently im out of ideas, anyone else had this problem and been able to resolve from here on?

      Can't decide between

      A- Haaland + Salah
      Or
      B- Haaland + Trent

        Not quite that simple is it! B allows other upgrades....

        I started with B but my budget feels more 'optimised' with Salah, by which I mean I feel like every 0.5 is pulling its weight, if that makes any sense. (It's too easy to make a good team with B so can end up with more luxury players or an unnecessarily expensive bench.)

        Wouldn’t go for B with Pools opening fixtures. They could fail to keep even one CS in the opening 3.
