Man United defence stunned as Rashford misses penalty

Goals: Daniel James (£6.0m) | Jordan Ayew (£5.0m) Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m)

Assists: Anthony Martial (£7.7m) | Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.5m)

Bonus Points: Ayew x 3 Van Aanholt x 2 Schlupp x 1

Crystal Palace secured their first win of the 2019/20 Premier League season in dramatic fashion with a last-minute winner from Patrick van Aanholt (£5.0m) at Old Trafford. 

Manchester United came into the game off the back of an unbeaten start to 2019/20 with a 4-0 victory over Chelsea and a 1-1 draw on Monday with Wolves.

However, instead of playing with energy and confidence from their opening encounters, Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer’s side were laboured against Palace on Saturday as a missed penalty from Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) summed up the Red Devil’s afternoon. 

Last week’s draw at Wolves drew considerable debate regarding United’s penalty-takers, with Solsjkaer claiming in his post-match interview that he leaves the final decision to either Paul Pogba (£8.6m) or Rashford dependent on their own preferences. 

Manchester United had further penalty problems on Saturday afternoon

Pogba’s poorly taken spot-kick at Molineux meant it was Rashford who resumed duties from the penalty spot against Palace. It was interesting to see that Anthony Martial (£7.7m) took command of the penalty situation this time, decisively picking the ball up after Scott McTominay (£5.0m) was fouled, and thrust it into Rashford’s hands. Pogba, meanwhile, was conspicuous by his absence from the exchange.

However, Rashford was still unable to bury his spot-kick, striking the post on Saturday afternoon. That was a huge blow for Rashford’s 27.6% ownership, as he registered a Gameweek 3 score of zero points.

“Fine margins. We’re disappointed but I’m sure Marcus will look at his penalty again but he’ll definitely step up again.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Martial registered an assist for Daniel James’ (£6.0m) goal, yet the Frenchman will have been disappointed to not have added to his tally of attacking returns in 2019/20 after failing to add a clinical cutting edge on a number of occasions.

Backed by 18.6% of managers as the most-owned United midfielder, Martial certainly is passing the eye-test, and at £7.7m the French forward is certainly a value-for-money option amidst United’s attacking options. 

Martial was one of two Manchester United players to pick up an injury against Palace

However, any potential new owners may want to keep an eye on his fitness this week as Martial limped off at the end of the game.

The Manchester United website reported that he had picked up an injury in the closing stages with Solskjaer unable to provide much of an update at this early stage.

There was also some concern for Luke Shaw (£5.5m) after he was taken off in the 34th minute, but Solsjkaer confirmed the injury is not thought to be serious or long-term.

“We’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully, they won’t be too bad and maybe we can have them training during the week. We’ll do the scans tomorrow but (Shaw) felt something in his hamstring. Hopefully, it won’t be too bad and I hope he is going to be back for Southampton.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

James, a bright spark amidst an afternoon of misfortune for United, was energetic throughout the game against Palace and got a well-deserved goal in the 89th minute.

He now has attacking returns in both of his matches at Old Trafford this season and has started the last two Gameweeks in a row. That may suggest the former Swansea City midfielder can provide an alternate budget route into the Manchester United attack.

Fantasy managers had also been flocking to United’s defensive assets after some impressive displays at the back in the first two Gameeeks. The arrivals of Harry Maguire (£5.5m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.6m) looked to have stabilised the Red Devils’ backline.

However, their failure to keep a clean sheet against a team that offered little going forward might reminder to managers of how far United still have to come. There was also frustration for Wan-Bissaka owners as he picked up a yellow card in the second half.

Solskjaer’s men spent the majority of the first half camped in Palace’s final third and were caught off guard by the first counter-attack of the match.

Ayew capitalised on Manchester United’s high line in the first half

Palace had been resilient in the face of considerable pressure in the opening stages, but it was Jordan Ayew (£5.0m) who found the breakthrough for Palace to put them 1-0 up against the run of play.

The Eagles’ lack of goalscoring impetus aside from Wilfried Zaha (£6.9m) is well documented, though Ayew’s performance and goalscoring contribution could suggest he is capable of involving himself in Palace’s attacking efforts in 2019/20. 

Van Aanholt also reminded Fantasy managers what he is capable of, sending Palace’s away end into a state of euphoria with a winner in injury time. The Dutch defender has always held an attacking threat, averaging nearly five goals a season since 2015/16, and he was once again on target to secure a vital win for Palace. 

For Hodgson’s men, this was an extremely important result, yet it was also a timely reminder that the Eagles, on their day, can be a match for any of the Premier League’s elite sides if they show the resilience they displayed at times in 2018/19.

Gary Cahill (£4.5m) was solid at the back alongside Martin Kelly (£4.0m), which is good news for the Fantasy appeal of the latter, who started ahead of Scott Dann (£4.5m).

The arrival of the ex-Chelsea man on a free transfer could potentially revitalise Palace as a defensive unit worthy of investment – a prospect that may have been discarded by managers following the departure of Wan-Bissaka to United. 

This was an afternoon that belonged to Palace and their resilient attitude in the face of extreme pressure, yet after just three Premier League games of 2019/20, a familiar line of questioning may be pointed towards United.

Defensive frailties have once again been exposed, and they were not too ruthless going forward either. That may lead to further scrutiny of their Fantasy assets in the upcoming Gameweeks.

    "Gabriel Jesus picked up a hamstring injury in training and will be back after the international break, City say"

      Interesting.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Sterling surely keeps playing now

      1. Dsmythy
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sterling will probably miss one league game between now and Christmas. No worries about him.

    3. Kinkladze
      • 8 Years

      This is Pep keeping him back from international duty, after the long summer.

  2. Tsparkes10

    That midfield mid to me means KDB won't be as forward as we've seen. Silva more so, Gundo doesn't sit like Fernandinho or Rodri but who knows. Will staul get atleast 7 points though and wish I had him

    1. gamesmad11
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You think KDB will have to play deep at all against bournemouth?

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

        this lol

      2. Dsmythy

        4 years, 7 months ago

        Bouremouth dangerous on the counter. I trust they won't be underestimated.

        1. gamesmad11
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Bournemouth of last seasons yes, they haven't impressed so far. Also I'm sure they won't underestimate but I doubt KDB is going to be pushed back behind the half way line much

      3. Ramboros
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I remember this place going mental after KDB apparently played deep against Bournemouth at the start of the season before last.

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years

      His long shots are amazing

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dilva to pull back to KDB to cross or pass to Walker on the overlap to cross.

  3. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years

    Dilva playing, KDB to drop back, noice...

          I beg to differ.

          It is in fact quite common to waste your life away on pleasurable things.

          Hence the Netflix binge zombies.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            By deriving enjoyment you have by definition accomplished a goal with the time. If you set out to enjoy yourself for the hour, and you did enjoy yourself, the hour by definition has not been wasted.

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                What gender of tiger? And what is the correct pronoun when referring to a tiger?

                1. Yankee Toffee
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  It.

                  1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Is that for male or female?

                    What about a hermaphrodite tiger? Or one that wants to be gender neutral?

            Lol, there's nothing wrong with series on Netflix. The quality of actual Netflix original movies is beyond pathetic.

                True that. Roma was one of the best movies of that year.

            As long as Bruce can get Longstaff fully fit and keep Kraft away from the starting lineup after his nightmare debut against Norwich, then hopefully they'll be better defensively.

      Is this looking good all?

      Pope
      VVD Digne Zinchenko
      Salah Mount Ceballos Sterling
      Kane King Pukki

      Button Lundstram Soyuncu Dendoncker

        Looks good.. decent balance.

      Come on City.

      It’s all or Nothing

      3x4m defenders in my team now. Anyone with me?

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I agree it's a good move.

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

          😆
          Sure thing.

      2. Twisted Saltergater

        Why? Why would you do that? WHY!

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Starting 1 out of 3 + digne and taa

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            2 out of 3 when TAA is benched 😉

            Which 3 do you have? Lundstram, Kelly and Rico? I'm not sure how long Kelly will start for but a good result for them yesterday.

            1. money face bandwagon
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Guess there might come to a week where all 3 of them are benched n I m left with 10. Hanley + rico + kelly. But again I can always fix it in the next gw

              1. money face bandwagon
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Hanley + lundsrtum + kelly I mean

              2. Twisted Saltergater
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                True. Balance seems to be out of the window past couple of seasons. Load up on big hitters that are crazy consistent and fill the other spaces with fodder.

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nope... rotating two.

        1. Greasy Grealish Gang
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Hanley, Lundstram and Kelly?

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Rotating Kelly and Lundstram. They pivot nicely.

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

              Isn't Kelly just a transfer waiting to happen?

              1. Big boy Bowen
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                They all are

          2. money face bandwagon
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yup

      4. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have 4 if you include Button and my WC is gone 😆

    11. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling(C), KdB and King. I will be happy with 22+ points.

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

        I'll settle for nothing less than 42.

    12. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry lads, got Sterling in for Salah this week. Sterling blank incoming 😀

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You did what , o my god, good luck with the rest of the season and hope you have Salah(best player in the league) back soon.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I know, I know. Didn't like my team with Sterling, Salah + Kane, so dropped Salah and tried to "cover" with Firmino. Many probably did the same with Mane.

          Firmino has looked really sharp so far, but I know as soon as I need the cash, he's likely to be the first I look at.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Every team needs Salah and then the rest imo.

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              yep, classic overthinking.

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nahh... he'll score

      3. Conor1
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Never stop Salah. I did it once and never to be repeated. He will be top scorer again this season in the league and this game.

    13. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      King Brace 2-0 will do me here, as a Liverpool fan with Ederson Sterling (not c) King.

      1. Critical Observer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I wouldn’t worry, the VAR is there to see your boys to the finish line.

    14. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mahrez on around 60 to grab the 1-0 winner. Obvs really

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

      Imagine a Bournemoth upset today.

      FPL meltdown...

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ha ha imagine.

        Then again... no chance

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Bmouth seem to have prepared for a defensive game.

      3. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'd rather imagine Sterling hatty...

      4. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Well Rafa's Newcastle did it last season, but they were far more disciplined than Bournemouth.

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

          Bournemouth last season were very very disciplined in this fixture

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Really? Fair enough, I just remember Bournemouth from their two matches against Newcastle where they looked poor.

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

              It was ten behind the ball at all times - Mahrez sneaked the late winner

              1. Hairy Potter
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I stand corrected!

      5. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I can’t even imagine one, not happening

      6. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        More chance of Newcastle winning the league under Steve Bruce.

      7. Midlands Saint73
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        2 for Raz and Hattie for C Wilson would do nicely.

    16. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Which kit are city wearing?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I liked the oldskool one.. almost ordered it and I'm not even a fan.

    17. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      How Bournemouth won't even have a shot on target.

    18. the vanisher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thoughts on Daniel James at 6.0?
      2 goal in 3 games but not being discussed much or included in any teams here.
      On the other hand Mount with similar stats in a similar team has risen by 0.2 already.

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Mount has all the set pieces and might even take the odd penalty. Chelsea definitely more reliable offensively as well.

      2. GinjaWhinja
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Would be a worthwhile consideration if he had any chance of grabbing any bonus/BPS. Sadly, not in his game, even when he scores!

      3. JonBoy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Considering him too. Just unsure how nailed he is.

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

          (I have Abraham so not too keen on that Mount double up.)

      4. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If James doesn’t start then Manchester United are playing a weakened team.

    19. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Josep Guardiola swares a lot on ‘it’s all or nothing” on amazon Prime.

    20. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Who's the best max 5.0 defender to bring in right now? I'm leaning towards Soyuncu and saving 0.5?

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

        Soy but looking at lei personally they were torrid defence that too vs conservative Sheffield..Value in midfield in 3-4-3 with 5.5mcgin

      2. CROCosta
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Mainland Niles after Spurs game, other cheaper options: Mings, Soyuncu, Pieters

    21. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Damn Pep played 4-3-3 instead of kdb favouring 4-2-3-1 with rodri. Guess lot of Assisting the assister today for my punt. Will se many angry posts of Kdb to Son by night

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        When will ppl realise there's no such thing as playing deep for City considering how they boss the smaller teams with everyone playing very high up the pitch

    22. Oooof
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Going down in the FF world from 1.3m to 88k!

      All thanks to a Salah captaincy, a Pukki Rave and a Vardy party.

      Still got Sterling to come and have only made two transfers so far this season.

      Hurray for me?

      1. Ode
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That's a huge jump in the ranks, well done mate

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

          Thanks mate!

          There’s hope for everybody!

      Now we need an hottopic for cheap.mids. I am lost between Mcginn and Mount

      1. Dynamic Duos

        Mount
