Martial furthers FPL cause as Man United defence improves

Wolves 1-1 Manchester United

Goals: Rúben Neves (£5.5m) | Anthony Martial (£7.6m)

Assists: Joao Moutinho (£5.5m) | Marcus Rashford (£8.6m)

Penalty miss: Paul Pogba (£8.6m)

Penalty save: Rui Patrício (£5.0m)

Bonus Points: Moutinho x3, Patrício x2, Neves x1, Rashford x1

Manchester United’s key attacking assets delivered points on Monday night to add further evidence to suggestions they can be important Fantasy options this season.

After Anthony Martial (£7.6m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) got attacking returns at home to a poor Chelsea defence last weekend, the pair were snapped up in their droves for Gameweek 2.

312,546 Fantasy managers snapped up the England international while 232,598 signed Martial.

Despite concerns that they might not be able to replicate Gameweek 1 form against a Wolves side that often raised its game against top-six opposition last season, Manchester United were the better side for much of the Monday night contest.

Martial now has two goals in as many Premier League matches for Manchester United this season

They dominated possession and, even though they did not fashion as many opportunities as Rashford and Martial owners would have liked, their quality still shone through.

Manchester United’s only goal of the game came when Martial made a run just left of his centre-forward furrow, spotted by Rashford, and fired high into the net.

Despite two successive games in a row with attacking returns, there are still one or two questions hanging over the appeal of Rashford.

For the second match in a row, he was deployed on the left flank of attacking midfield, acting more often than not as a winger rather than a forward.

While Rashford was still able to link into attacking play well, it might be hard to justify the extra cost compared to Martial, who is being used as the centre-forward with a midfield classification in FPL.

Furthermore, Monday night also demonstrated that Rashford cannot always count on penalties to supplement his attacking returns either.

Despite scoring one last week against Chelsea, Rashford was not considered for the one Paul Pogba (£8.6m) won in the second half at Molineux.

The two players had a quick discussion before the Frenchman took the spot-kick, only to see his powerful effort saved by Rui Patrício (£5.0m).

Another penalty miss for Pogba sparked a post-match media inquisition into Manchester United’s spot-kick set-up

Pogba has now missed four penalties in 2019 while Rashford has scored all four he has ever taken in his career so far.

Understandably, with Manchester United not winning the game, there was a media inquisition at full-time, in which we learned a little more about the penalty situation.

Last week, Rashford insisted there was no penalty taker, although, at Molineux, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that the Englishman and Pogba form a designated duo.

“The two of them are the designated penalty shooters. It is up to them, there and then who feels that this is mine. Sometimes players just feel that they’re confident enough to score. Paul has scored so many penalties for us and Patrício made a good save. You can see the slides, they’re on the powerpoint. No (it doesn’t change). Not at all. The two of them have been very confident and of course last week Marcus scored a goal, I’m sure he would have liked to take this one but Paul was confident. I like players full of confidence.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

“Paul wanted to take it. Everyone can miss a penalty. He has scored countless penalties for us and throughout his career. It’s normal to miss one. We forget about that one and we go again. It’s simple. If you want to take it, you take it. But I took one last week so it’s no problem for him to take one this week. Like I said, it’s unfortunate he didn’t score but that’s football.” – Marcus Rashford

While Martial appears not to be in the frame for penalties, the case for his inclusion remains strong.

His goal at Molineux was the 50th of his Manchester United career, with no other colleague netting as many since the Frenchman’s debut in September 2015.

Owners of Manchester United defenders can probably consider themselves very unlucky not to capitalise on a second clean sheet in a row.

The Red Devils were in control for large spells of the game, in contrast to their previous meetings with Wolves.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have typically risen to the occasion against the top six, especially Manchester United, but they were somewhat subdued for most of Monday night.

They largely sat deep in an attempt to soak up pressure in the first half, which did initially limit Rashford and Martial’s ability to use their pace to exploit space.

However, Wolves’ creative midfield players were stifled by Manchester United, meaning that the home side were limited to playing long balls forward.

Harry Maguire was commanding in the air for Manchester United on Monday night

This made life very easy for Harry Maguire (£5.5m) in particular, who won virtually every header all night.

Also making a big impact on Manchester United’s defensive potential this season is Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m).

The right-back kept Diogo Jota (£6.5m) quiet and ensured he played a peripheral part in the match.

The Portuguese international will have disappointed his 11.3% ownership as he was forced out very wide for much of Monday night. Two matches in a row without any attacking returns for him and Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) will certainly give their owners itchy feet especially with Teemu Pukki (£6.7m) rising in popularity.

Jota (left) had a quiet game for Wolves on Monday night

However, there are still mitigating factors for Wolves’ forwards, to some extent. Gameweek 1 saw them play very soon after a 6,000-mile round-trip to Armenia, while it has to be said that Manchester United defended very well on Monday night.

The additions of Maguire and Wan-Bissaka looked to have had a positive effect on the Red Devils’ back-line.

The right-back is also slowly offering more creativity too. In the second half, Wan-Bissaka was making more advanced runs and set up two opportunities for Jesse Lingard (£6.5m).

In the end, the only thing that could breach Manchester United’s defence was a world-class goal from Neves.

Anyone who has ever seen the Portuguese midfielder score for Wolves should have a pretty good idea of what his latest one looked like.

Joao Moutinho (£5.5m) played a ball to him on the edge of the box which he stroked marvellously into the top corner off the crossbar to a roaring Molineux ovation.

Neves scored a trademark goal against Manchester United

While such a goal will have frustrated owners of Manchester United defenders, it won’t be every week they face arguably the best finisher from distance in the Premier League.

Wolves certainly pushed the Red Devils in the closing stages, buoyed by Neves’ goal, but Solskjaer’s men held on for the point.

It makes for encouraging clean sheet potential when Crystal Palace come to Old Trafford in Gameweek 3.

Finally, there are some concerns over Matt Doherty’s (£6.0m) fitness after he limped off at half-time.

There were reports that the right wing-back was struggling in the warm-up but according to the local press, Nuno said Doherty would be “okay tomorrow.”

His departure at the interval allowed Adama Traore (£5.0m) to replace him and it was the pacey wide-man who was the spark for Wolves coming back into the game.

“Traore was able to impact the game directly. We keep trusting him, keep giving him chances to make his impact.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

    I have Martial, but any good reason not to go for the Rashford double up?

    1. AndyCook
        4 years, 7 months ago

        8.5 isn’t that cheap and he appears to be playing quite wide, no penalty box touches last night

      • Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You'll want that money in midfield soon

        1. Mcgugan
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers - I didn’t watch the game ap actually thinking about getting KDB instead. Right call?

      • Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I don't see "double up" as a relevant concept. If you're thinking of getting Rashford over Vardy or Wilson, then it's probably a decent move.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Now you're asking Kev or Rashy?? Kev, obviously.

      • FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Rashford on the wing not going to see him with many hauls.

      • Nailed Jesus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        spending 16 mil on an inconsistent utd attack seems like a bad idea, who would you have to give up?

    2. chonks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      which one of these three would go to your bench for next games?

      lundstram (H leicester)
      walkers-peter (H newcaslte)
      ceballas (A liverpool)

      thanks

      1. Miguel Sanchez

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years

        Ceballos

      3. Andy_Social

      5. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        How is KWP on a list when he has Newcastle at home?

      6. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Other option? I'd play all 3.

      Expecting Kelly to keep starting?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nope

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Would love to know who Roy prefers out of Dann and Kelly. As soon as Sakho and/or Tomkins are fit they are both on the chopping block

        1. Tasty Jerk
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          For sure. Tomkins (CBR) /Sakho (CBL) is without doubt our best pairing and would be straight back in (we have great record when both play) but they are also both very injury prone throughout a season - hence Roy also signing Cahill for extra cover.

      3. Tasty Jerk
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Kelly maybe for next few matches, although Cahill could displace him soon at CB he is still the only RB cover we have for Ward.

    4. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Remember Kane vs Cardiff(H) last season?

      I member

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        My worst decision of the season.

      2. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Stuck between getting him or Martial in for -4 this gameweek. I guess -8 would be too much

      3. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        For sure, it was hard but I ignored him completely and captained Lacazette at Fulham, which turned out pretty well.

        1. KingOllie
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          im doing the same with Sterling this gwk, hope it ends the same way

          1. KingOllie
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            ps look at sterlings stats vs bournemouth !

          2. avfc82
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I'm considering the same, can see them beating Bournemouth comfortably.

          3. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Considered Sterling TC, but definitely holding that for the DGWs instead

            My GW3 (C) has been Sterling since preseason. Captain Hindsight says GWs 1 and 2 as well, but those were coin tosses with Salah so I'm not bothered

            1. KingOllie
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              8 goals 2 assists in 7 games vs Bou.

              And bournemouth are gonna try and play at home = prime for a city thrashing.

              1. avfc82
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Bournemouth have surely gotta attack more than last season's 1-0 when Mahrez scored the winner. The stats were ridiculous. City had 82% possession, and Bournemouth didn't have a shot!

    5. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How many desired transfers warrant a wildcard? (I'm serious)

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        -12 or worse.

        1. thomashl
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Right? I have like five changes I want to make, and I'd like to save my wc but feel the price rices will make it hard to get that team by using FTs only

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Usually 5-6 or more

      3. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        It's a serious question. My personal 'red line' is WC rather than take a -16 hit. Maybe -12.

      4. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        -12. At -8 it's close

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Looking at my -8 for GW3 and wondering how it got to this

          Still doesn't feel worth a WC though

      5. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        -12 or more

      6. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        At least 5.

        1. thomashl
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Just ticking the box, then 🙂

      7. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        How's this WC team:

        Pope (Button)
        AWB VvD Digne KWP (Lundstram)
        McGinn Salah Sterling Martial (Dendo)
        Kane Pukki (Greenwood)

        0.2 itb

        Would like another MCI asset but can't see how

      8. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If you WC now, you'll probably have many more weeks over the next 16 where you will have a number of desired transfers too.

      9. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        -16 or more.

    6. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Biggest FFS myth so far this season: Pukki's upcoming fixtures are very tough!

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Form over fixtures every time.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agree. Tough for Norwich, nightmare for their shonky defence, but the way he takes his goals - he can score against anyone.

      3. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed. Chelsea have one of the worst xGa in the league and West Ham have the worst!! Granted City is a tough fixture but he could jag something there and then he is on a glorious run..

        My god he passes the eye test

      4. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Before the Leicester game, Chelsea had conceded 2+ goals in each of their last 5 games, their defence isn’t exactly tight, Pukki could easily bag another goal.

      5. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That's all I hear about. Chelsea home and WHU away are by no means tough to score against.

      6. Sune
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This

      7. Stallone in Goal
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Pukki is fixture proof!

      8. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Every game is a tough fixture for Norwich, but they look like they will score goals regardless.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Can see him being this season's Mitrovic. The defence will concede for fun and they'll prolly go down, but Pukkers here will keep banging them in.

      9. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He won't score every match but he scored also against Liverpool. 2/3 goals per 5 matches would be quite ok for that price

      10. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I can see both sides.

        Good price, playing the best football of his career... but Chelsea have improved since Kante returned to the starting eleven, their poor xGA is heavily influenced by the United 4-0 when he was benched, then its a good fixture at West Ham, followed by the hardest.

        At 6.7 tho, its probably worth it, although I won't be moving for him this week.

    7. Invincibles
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      2ft

      Heaton
      TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko
      Salah Sterling Perez Siggy
      Wilson Jota

      Subs: Lund, Dendonc, Greenwood

      a) Kane or Son
      b) hoe?

      1. Invincibles
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        *how oops

    8. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      2ft

      TAA and Wilson to Pereira and Rashford? Can't get AWB since with Rashford I'd already have 3 ManU (Martial, Rashford, Greenwood)
      Could also do TAA and Jota to Seyoncou and Rashford?

      Pope (4.0)
      TAA Robbo Digne Zinchenko (Lundstram)
      Salah Sterling Martial Perez (Dendocker)
      Wilson Jota (Greenwood)

      1. Invincibles
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not keen on spurs attacker? What about OR if kane scored 2 or 3?

        1. aapoman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Would mean taking a hit. Only way reasonable I see is TAA, Perez and Wilson to Soyunco, Mount(?) and Kane.

    9. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      How does this WC team look like? :

      Pope - Button
      KWP - AWB - Van Dijk - Dunk - Lundstram
      Mané - Sterling - KDB - Mount - Cantwell
      Kane - Pukki - Greenwood

      1. aapoman

        Good

        1. Dion D's Solo Shower
          • 6 Years

          Thanks!
          Would you pick Dunk over Soyuncu?

          1. aapoman
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I'd pick Soyuncu

        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm not sure that KWP will be nailed. Foyth's suspension is over. I personally would like to have one Everton's defender (Digne if healty or Mina). Rest is in accordance with this week template:)

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Foyth is injured

    10. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Morning, thoughts for coming game week?

      Pope
      Virgil, Digne, KWP, Montoya
      Salah, Sterling, Trossard, Cebellos

        Good to go.

      2. KingOllie

        Sterling(C) for sure

          4 years, 7 months ago

          look what Pukki did to that Newcastle defence so dont get your 'for sure' comment at all. I will be mostly captaining Sterling this season I feel but going Kane this week 'for sure'! 😉

      Took -4, recon I should be good for at least 2 weeks ?

      Ryan
      TAA/Digne/WB
      Salah/Sterling(c)/KDB/Martial/Ceballos
      Pukki/Jota

        digne might be out, but Lund can fill in i guess

      A guy in my mini league made a Alisson to Ederson transfer after the Pool game in GW 1.

      He then made a Simpson to Lundstram transfer last night.
      But he still has a FT left. HOW??

      Is this a glitch?

      Thanks.

      A) Deeney and KWP --> Pukki and Soyuncu

      Any price rise experts already?

      Will Rashford rise once or twice before deadline?

      Thanks 🙂

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Max once. People have already made their move on Pukki so less interest in Rashford.

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks - at least it give me the option of waiting then.

        Rashford likely to rise tonight

      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I managed to squeeze in 5 premium players into my team (Kane Sterling Mane Martial KDB)

      However as a result of that i have to play 2 out of this lot every week

      Montoya
      Lundstram
      Soyuncu
      Cantwell

      Do you guys think it is viable or too imbalanced?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm facing the same problem. For me Martial is the least important of these 5 right now, with all the others having double points potential in most games, so I've left him out. Kane is the most likely to leave my team soon and I'll look at maybe Laca, and Martial, then.

          Not looked like doing anything. $1 for every post over the years "player X could punish sellers"

            Ya I watched the chelsea game vs leicster and he was poor. That said he could of got a goal in the game.

              McGinn and Grealish should've could've both scored a brace against Bournemouth

      Would you bench King (City at home) or Dendoncker (Burnley at home)

      A or B?
      A) Deeney and KWP --> Pukki and Soyuncu

      How's this WC team:

      Pope (Button)
      AWB VvD Digne KWP (Lundstram)
      McGinn Salah Sterling Martial (Dendo)
      Kane Pukki (Greenwood)

      0.2 itb

      Would like another MCI asset but can't see how. Also want to have Martial since I'm a fan.

    24. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Got Pukki in for Wilson, thinking I may just save the other FT and look at getting Son/KDB soon, via downgrading Perez (mcginn maybe?) and upgrading Siggy most likely. 1.3 ITB 1FT

      Pope // 4.0
      TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko // Rico
      Salah Sterling Sigurdsson Perez // Dendoncker
      Pukki Jota // Greenwood

      Cheers boyos. One last chance for Sig / Perez?

      1. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Would consider getting Martial for Perez or Sigurdsson

    25. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      1. TAA, Lanzini, Mount
      2. Soyunucu, Mane, Cantwell

      Playing all 3

    26. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      VVD Perez Wilson to KWP KDB Pukki? (-4)

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No

    27. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A Walker, Ceballos, Rashford

      B Montoya, Martial, Wilson (really think Wilson will be a great asset after the City fixture).

    28. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years

      If You Have Wesley would you give him Chance based on nice fixtures ?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Only as Villa fan not FPL player. Hope he scores goal soon

    29. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Is it a viable tactic to have one of Cantwell and Dendoncker start every week?

      1. BellyKlopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        they'll probably average 3 pts each so depends if other players can make up for it?

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If it means 3 or 4 premiums yeah (KDB can count if 4)

      3. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think so, if it enables 10 stronger players around them.

        1. aapoman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Hmm could get this for -4 if i downgrade Perez to Cantwell

          Pope (4.0)
          Robbo Digne Zinchenko Soyuncu (Lundstram)
          Salah Sterling Martial Dendoncker (Cantwell)
          Kane Wilson (Greenwood)

      4. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think so - they rotate pretty well. I wouldn't expect a lot of returns though, even with the rotation, but frees up funds nicely. Other downside is it takes away another midfield slot, and that's where the value appears to be elsewhere.

      On WC:

      Is Salah to Mané worth it to upgrade KWP to Zinchenko?

        WC team so far:

        Pope (Button)
        AWB VvD Digne KWP (Lundstram)
        McGinn Salah Sterling Martial (Dendo)
        Kane Pukki (Greenwood)

            Thanks! Also reluctant to get Salah out – I did it once last season, of course it had to be when he went mad and scored three

            1. JonnyOnionRings
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Salah or Sterling will top the scoring list this season again. Salah is just too good. He was obvs tired after 120 mins. Should do better this week.

                Yeah agreed. Not touching him, just had to get a vibe on the community stance here. Go with the gut, right? 🙂 Good luck this gw!
