Will Man United rediscover form for upcoming appealing fixtures?

Fantasy Premier League managers have been, understandably, completely put off Manchester United assets of late.

The Red Devils’ recent poor form was perfectly encapsulated in a Gameweek 8 defeat to Newcastle before the international break and they host Liverpool next.

However, those with half an eye on the Season Ticker will notice that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are about to embark on a favourable run of fixtures.

In the interest of getting ahead of the game, we’ve had a look to see if there are any hidden gems within Manchester United’s out-of-form squad.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

How strong is their goal threat?

  4. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Which option is better out of those two:

    A) Haller , Cantwell > Maupay , Yarmolenko (Free)
    B) Haller, Cantwell, Otamendi > Jimenez, Hudson Odoi, Soyoncu (-4)

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Just Haller to Jiminez

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

    Would absolutely love some feedback on this

    2 FT, 0.7 ITB

    Pope - Heaton
    Montoya - TAA - Digne - Lundstram - Rico
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Mount - McGinn
    Abraham - Pukki - Greenwood

    1) Pukki + Salah --> KDB + Firmino + 0.4 ITB
    2) Salah + Pukki + Digne --> KDB + Auba + Soy + 0.2 ITB (-4)
    3) Pukki + Digne --> Vardy + Fredericks
    4) Any other thoughts?

    1. Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne + Pukki —> Soy + Wilson?

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne to Soyuncu
      Greenwood to Solanke

  6. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    FYI: This is my draft fantasy football team. Does the bench order look correct?

    Kepa
    Robbo Digne Jonny Chilwell
    Mahrez Lanzini Hudson-Odoi McGinn
    Vardy Wilson

    Pope Sigurdsson Bellerin Rashford

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That is a very expensive bench with outfield players who are not doing much?

      1. New Viera
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        In draft price doesn't matter

  7. FPL Forward Thinker

    Goal for Finland. Guess who?

    That man - it’s a Jensen Party

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. It's been raining heavily though. Pukki hasn't perhaps been at his sharpest, but he has been running a lot.

  8. Flynny

    Hi....any views on better wildcard option here please?

    A....CHO and madison

    B....Mount (bought at 6.7m) and yarmo

    There is just nothing appealing about owning UTD assets. Just no value in any shape or form.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Things could turn round by February or possibly before or possibly never.

      But things might turn round.

    2. Eat my goal!

      Until martial returns

  10. George James
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best move?

    A) Pukki >> Jimenez (Save FT)
    B) Pukki + Ota >> Wilson + Soy
    C) Something Else? 2FT 0.3itb

    Pope
    VVD / Ota / Rico
    Salah / KDB / Mount / Sterling
    Haller / Pukki / Tammy

    Button / Lundstram / Cantwell / Kelly

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

      I'd say B

  11. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A) Martial in 352 (Connolly 3rd fwd)
    B) Jimenez in 433 (Cantwell 5th Mid)

    A or B please?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You getting Martial for your bench?

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nope...front 8 wud be....what to u suggest?

        Mane KDB Mount Maddison Martial
        Auba Tammy Connolly

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mate, not trying to be horrible but Martial may well end up on your bench if you pick him. I am assuming you had him this season already? Still no word of him being fit...

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I agree he could be injured again in 3 weeks time

            Before his injury, he has returned in every game....Man united have gud run of fixtures and he plays as no 9?

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              He’s obviously a great pick he’s a troll

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Jimenez atm
      Tony after he's fit cam be great

    3. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B now

      A in December for a week

  12. 2hotty
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with Son??????

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Keep for at least this GW. Re-evaluate after IB

  13. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is Ben Chilwell worth the extra cash over Soy?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me

  14. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Wondering if I should just not add to my -8 and do Pukki to King for another -4...

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

      No way. For Wilson maybe but not King for -4

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pukki to King or King to Pukki is not worth -1

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Bad idea

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Probably right.

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Even for free that transfer could backfire.

          The odds of you making a profit on that move are stacked against you with that -4. As your already on a -8 I can’t see any point in you taking any more risk on board.

          Pukki could clean up against Bournemouth

    4. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Control yourself!

    5. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Perfect do it

  15. Babelcopter
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison still good pick?

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No. Visit casinos and your cursed till June.

  16. Donny_Rover
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Which do you reckon is the better enabler for Vardy (replacing Haller)? Both options leave me with £0.5m ITB:

    A) Otamendi -> Rico (based on Ota being crap and might not be an auto pick with Stones coming back)

    B) McGinn -> Sako (bit of a punt, Arsenal easy fixtures coming up and he’s looked good so far)

    Rest of the team is:

    Pope, Heaton
    Soyuncu TAA Tomori Ota Lund
    Mane Sterling KDB Mount McGinn
    Abraham Haller Greenwood

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

      A

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

      First option because Rico is nailed and Saka isn't. Bukayo looked dangerous and creative whenever he was on the pitch but it's impossible to know how long will he remain a starter. Martinelli is performing as well and with Lacazette' inevitable return, it's really hard to predict which system is Emery gonna deploy.

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

        I expect to see Pepe - Aubameyang - Saka against Sheffield fwiw.

  17. Carcetti
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    RMWCT?

    Ryan (Button)

    Rico, TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Kelly

    Mane, Mount, Maddison, KDB, Salah,

    Abraham, C.Wilson, Connolly

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

      It's quality! Haven't seen many teams with Mane and Salah on FFS.

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Perfect. Very different to what we’ve seen on here before 😛

  18. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Any news on Mendy? Wondering whether Zinchenko should come out or not

    1. conners88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I've dropped Zinchenko

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo is a risk too

  19. conners88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    W/C Week....GTG? Any thoughts?

    Roberto
    TAA, Tamouri, Periera
    McGinn, CHO, KDB, Sterling
    Auba, Jimenez, Abraham

    Subs:
    Pope, Montoya, Rico, Dendonka

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

      Nice team. I'd rather mount

      1. conners88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I had mount, but could'nt get it to work financially....so heres hoping CHO comes good

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He will IMO

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'd keep only one playing GK
      Montoya to Lundstram is also a good option.

      1. conners88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I have had this consideration, just didnt like Lundstrams fixtures

  20. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Salah + Cantwell + Wickham to Mount + Maddison + Wilson (-4).

    Yes or no?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Benching headaches ?

    2. Pep Pig
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not in a million years mate. Though if you was a ML rival of mine I'd probably encourage you to do it

  21. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Does it always require x gameweeks or is it broken? - Still the below message on fpl main page:

    Most Valuable Teams
    The Most Valuable Teams will appear here when available.

    Best Leagues
    The Best Leagues will appear here when available.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Broken most probably

    2. kidzac
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think not displaying most valuable team is a great move. Players who go for that often distorts player pricing.

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I dont miss the data either

  22. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ryan
    Robertson - VVD - Ota - Lundstram - Digne
    Salah - KDB - McGinn - Cantwell - Ceballos
    Pukki - Abraham - Haller

    2.2ITB, 2FT

    A) Digne & Haller > Soyu/Tomori & Vardy
    B) Digne & Ceballos > Soyu/Tomori & Maddison
    C) Digne, Haller & Ceballos > Soyu/Tomori, Maddison & Vardy

    Thoughts on the above? Hesitant to take all three for the hit this week, especially since Maddison is a slight doubt and already have KDB, Salah and Cantwell as doubts also.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B for me.

  23. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Which team looks better?

    1) Patricio
    TAA Soy Rico Lund kelly
    Mane KDB Mount Cantwell (Salah)
    Tammy (Jimenez) (Wilson)

    2) Patricio
    TAA Soy Rico Lund kelly
    Mane KDB Mount Cantwell (Maddison)
    Tammy (Firmino) (Auba)

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

      I like 2

  24. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pukki to King?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That’s an option.

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      No.

    3. Phlajo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      For free yes, not for a hit

  25. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Evening.
    Exact funds in the bank to do Pukki > Wilson with FT.

    Pope
    VVD,Söyüncü,Otamendi
    Salah, Sterling,Yarmolenko,Mount
    Abraham,Pukki,Aubamayang

    Button,Lundstrum,Cantwell,Hanley 1FT 1.1m itb

    Wilson @71.1 .in between a price drop with Pukki so can let him drop 0.1m.
    A) Pukki > Wilson if so safe to wait until Friday?
    B) Pukki > King
    C)Save.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      captain wilson

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        That would be the plan, yes.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Are you saying wilson cud drop before the deadline?

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            No he’s 71.1 to rise. I’m priced out if he goes up before I make the move.
            If I miss I’ll be keeping Pukki this week or shifting to King or Jimenez probably.
            Prefer Wilson though.

      If I was going B I wouldn’t be going Otamendi.
      Maybe Boly or someone cheaper giving Lundstrum a chance to play.

        Yeah, I'm looking to get rid of Ota myself. With Stones back Ota could lose his place (eventually?)

      I personally think the double Liverpool defence is going to become great again with Alisson back. You could be one step ahead if you keep VVD. Every chance of a CS against Utd

    Start Lundstram (ARS) or Mings (BHA)?

    I know it's probably not worth having Mings if you won't start him in this case, but worried about Lundstram's attacking threat/Arsenal struggling to breakdown Sheffield.

      I don’t get that logic. Mings is cheap and benchable depending on who you want to start.
      I’d agree with defenders over 5.0 or midfielders over 5.5m.

      I think your dilemma is a toss up. Hard decision this week.

        I'd bench a 6m defender if I really thought he was going to blank.

        1. The 12th Man

          4 years, 6 months ago

          This too.

        Thanks. I just meant I wouldn't have put Mings in my squad a number of weeks ago if I thought there was ever a chance I wouldn't play him against Brighton at home. Didn't anticipate Lund's attacking threat which makes him playable against Arsenal. Think I'm leaning Lund - would feel stupid leaving any attacking points on the bench, and

          ...and less than 50% chance Villa keeps a CS, for me.

          I get what your saying. Even if you don’t play Mings though he’s cheap enough to keep as insurance if you get an injury like KDB.
          I’d lean Lundstrum, just but could go either way.

            Thanks mate, yes, same thinking. If I could go back in time the 4.5 to go with was maybe Soy, but hardly a fire to put out. I think there will be weeks down the road where he'll make sense/come on for injury/rotation.

              Yeh all ifs and buts.
              If I went back I’d have gone Abraham instead of Haller. Lol.

        A for the most points.

        A Or B is a toss up

    Evening! Thoughts on below with 2FT 0.0 ITB?

    A) Pukki, Ota -> Wilson, 4.5 Def (who?)
    B) Pukki, Firmino -> Wilson, King/Maupay/Conolly
    C) Firmino -> Wilson and save

    B and C would enable me to get Mane in for Son the next week for free. What would you advise?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      C looks ok with the option of getting Mane in the following week.
      Gives you 2 FTs next week too if you still want Otamendi out.

        Thanks, yeah, been thinking of getting rid of Pukki for almost two weeks but maybe I should give him one more week.
