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?

      Kane and sterling kicked asses yesterday and no one cares....strange these pukki goals means "back on form"

        Yep it’s completely irrelevant

        Have Sterling too

      McGinn Sterling Barkley Gini Gundogan
      Kane Pukki

      14 goals in one Gameweek

      Can King kick Kane onto Bench with goals tonight?

    lowton & Guendouzi or Tomori & Saka

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years

      Tricky. I’d probably go Tomori and Dendonker at 4.4

      Tough. B or C for me.

      Dont think Leicester or Arsenal fixtures are as good as they seem

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers! Think I slightly prefer B to C. All 3 could be good! Struggling

        Thank you. It’s a tough one

        1. rjcv177
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I think it affects how u settle your structure.
          If aguero i cant get the better leicester asset.
          Sterling can open a spot for Auba/Vardy/Kane if needed

          Right now i'm struggling between kun+madis or sterl+vardy

      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Wilson Auba Tierney. Go on, take a cheeky risk 🙂
      You should rule out C. You clearly don't trust him as captain and without Salah you need a safe bet (auba/Kun feel safer).

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah. C is my least favourite. What do you think about C.Wilson?

      2. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Like many it's a fomo pick. You want Vardy but fear Wilson is better (value) initially. Nothing wrong with either, or even keeping the money back. Personally I want Vardy and Wilson not so much Maddison but it's a compromise.

    7. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      C for me. Sterling a keeper for me all season. Got CW in for pukki as the next two games look like goals galore

  4. AD2110

    Guys, I’m wildcarding this week and can’t decide which team is better:

    A) 343
    Ryan
    TAA*, Soy, Ota
    Mad*, Sterling, KDB, Mount
    Auba, Wilson*, Abraham

    Button, Lund, Rico, Cantwell*

    B) 352
    Ryan,
    Soy, Ota, Tomori*
    Salah*, Sterling, KDB, Mount, McGinn*
    Auba, Abraham

    Button, Lund, Rico, Connolly*

    Team B enables me to have 4 big hitters but not sure if it’s too unbalanced?

    Cheers guys!

    1. Alchim1sT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A Balance it is ...!
      And TAA can't punish you

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA

      A

      You should have Boly, 100%.

    Is the Pukki party on again???

    1. Eat my goal!

      Shite disco!

    2. Bobby Digital

      It's a season long thing

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Does this mean Kane and Sterling will haul this weekend too? (K)ane here

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Depends on Norwich, Spurs and MCI and teans they are playing against. Finland is no England in football though. And England is no Finland in ice hockey.

  6. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is this worth -4 chaps? (Assuming KDB declared fit)

    Pukki Sterlo ➡ KDB Vardy

    1. Tired and weary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No. Neither this week

    3. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No

    4. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      At least keep sterling until KDB is fit and playing more that 30mins. Vardy a good pick

  7. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pukki's on fire

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      Blank confirmed for the weekend

      1. Indpush

        Yep, tired now.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Enough time to rest. He played Championship last year, no problems, today is tuesday.

  8. Flynny

    Been playing with the wildcard....any comment on this?

    Cash for kane to kun (or auba) next week...thanks

    Pope

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years

      Apols......mount is actually CHO....

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      All good! Very close to mine if I go Kun

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Brilliant

    4. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Prefer Auba & Mount now over Kane & CHO.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Kane is only in for the Watford game.

        Then he can become auba or kane.

        Mount will cost me 6.7. So perhaps I should go CHO as a differential for 5.9m...

    5. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Who in the f is Nakamba?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Marvellous nakamba of villa. Started last 3 or 4. 4.4m Mid...

  9. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I have precisely 4.5 to spend, is Lundstrom still the best option at this price point in your opinions?

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

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

      Lundstram was the best 4.0 and he's still the best 4.5 option. Defender playing in midfield.

    3. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      he is worth 5.0 imo

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes he is worth it

    5. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely

  10. Sidekick_08
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Would you remove Haller or Pukki to get Wilson in? This is causing me a headache as I'm just not able to decide. Thoughts appreciated.

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

      Pukki

      1. Sidekick_08
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. it is scary going without such a highly owned player though.

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

      I'd remove haller bit not pukki

      1. Sidekick_08
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. that is the safe option I guess. but like Haller too..

    3. Tired and weary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Think I’m going Haller - shame but needs to be delivering more and think Wilson is too good to miss

      1. Sidekick_08
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        True.. he just seems like a good differential instead of Pukki for the next 4 weeks though with good fixtures.

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm doing Haller -> Wilson.

      1. Sidekick_08
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cool. I might end up doing that as well. it's basically a straight shootout between Haller and Pukki for the next 4 or so GWs.

  11. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Son to Mahrez is tempting me...

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

      But does mahrez even start. He was awful last game when taken off on 59 min

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Please dont go for Mahrez. Will end up in tears with cameos

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

        And yet still 5.75 PPG

        1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          PPG isn't the be all end all. Mahrez just like Martial have good PPG but last year both played less than half the minutes. Predicting when their points will come is a nightmare. Look at Mahrez. Got a hatty in the first game, no one even thought he was gonna start then in the next 4 games he plays a combined 138 minutes! Surely you'd be selling after that, then he scores 15 and 10 points. Wayyyyyyyy to unpredictable.

          1. ‘Tis the Season
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Agree not worth the risk or pain!

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

            I tend to agree but think he’s ahead of B silva and should get much more game time what with sane out.

            If silva gets a ban then I’m there

            1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Fair, moving forward if Silva is out, I can see his gametime being more consistent but until then it's a trap... Look at the people that brought him in last week because KdB was out and he was def playing.

              1. Baps hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                With Pep everything is possible.

  12. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Team g2g?
    Pope
    VVD, Rico, Soy,
    Kdb, raz, mount, Salah
    Jimi (c) Haller, Tammy

    Bench : Ota, Cantwell, Lund

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

      Haller to wilson

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

      Also play Otamendi instead of Rico. I see a pukki goal against Bournemouth.

  13. Kaiser123
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Am I mad thinking to do Sterling/ Greenwood to Vardy/ Martial.

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

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

      More than mad I'd say.

      1. Kaiser123
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Don’t you think both Vardy/ Martial might outscore them over the season.

        1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          If you're playing Greenwood every week then sure.

  14. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Pukki 2g, 3 BAPS. Oh Finland is!

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Are Leicester assets really necessary?

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure. Feeling like the form might be turning

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes imho what with their form & fixtures, Madds & Soy for me.

    3. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Periera the best option of the bunch.

      Boly a much better option than Soyuncu for only 0.3 more now.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheeky. You might be right.

    4. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      I can't fit them in my team.

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

      Necessary?

  16. Oldie99
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    GTG? Abraham or Jimi captain? Play Lund or Cantwell?

    Pope
    Ota TAA Digne Lund
    Raz Salah Mount Son
    Abraham Jimi

    Gunn / Cantwell Kelly Greenwood

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

      Jiminez cap ? Really

    2. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tammy captain. You'll be happy with any points Jimenez gets you as nobody really has him right now.

    Pukki looked really sharp, getting his form back it seems

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

      It’s not like he was playing like Benteke and unable to hit a barn door.... he plays for Norwich

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Hoping so. Really do not want to get rid.

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I have a punty midfield staring me in the eyes, very heavy defence plus forward line of Vardy Pukki and Jota.

    Do I need a straitjacket?

    2. Fpl Richie

      If I was on a heavy-ish defence...
      TAA Pereira Tierney/Boly (with an upgrade to another pool soon)

  21. el polako
    • 6 Years

    Barkley scored two...

    Salah & Pukki --> Mane & Abraham (-4)

    A) Yes
    B) No

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Abraham YES

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        That's not the answer to the question.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I believe it is.
          He’s saying yes to your question.The reason - to get Abraham in.

            Thats not even the OP

        2. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I meant If it is for Abraham, it is worth taking a hit 🙂

      2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        No really how it works... He probably has to do Salah to Mane to afford Pukki to Abraham

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit.

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

      Could work

    4. ‘Tis the Season
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes even for a hit (hit averse)

  24. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    A) Vardy, 6.0 mid
    B) Jimenez, Maddison

    A or B ?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B

    Why haven`t Doherty been playing more? Just a long semi injury or is he not nailed? Looking for a defender to replace Montoya/Kelly. Pereira a better option?

    1. FPL Forward Thinker

      Played 11 games this season for Wolves in 3 competitions
      How much more playing are you looking for?

      1. Spokey
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Looking for a player that will be playing more then 60 min at least 37.5% of the next PL games.

          Then you’ve answered your own question.

          Wait till Wolves are out of Europe and rotation pattern changes.

  26. The 12th Man

    Jimenez set and forget next 10 looks tempting.

    Might go there instead of Wilson. Saves 0.8 too.

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

      Wilson over Jiminez all day long

    2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      was considering this... went Wilson. I think his next 4 are better and easier to downgrade to Jimmy afterwards.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeh I agree Wilson better option short term. Jimenez just saves a transfer down the line though.

        I’m undecided.

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

      Already did 🙂 and also planning to cap him over Tammy. If he hauls, huge upside. If Tammy hauls and Jimi doesn't then damage but limited.

    MadDion is going to piss on a lot of bonfires this weekend.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      *Maddison*

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I'm twitchy... Want Vardy but the coverage calls!

  28. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is Maddison worth finding the money over the c. 6m mids?
    Yarmolenko/CHO/Trossard (soon)

    I suppose its Vardy & 6ish-mid or Wilson and Mads in that bracket

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not over CHO imo

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        What's your thinking? Likely to get good game time?

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

      Seems a logical plan, and then being able to drop down to a budget option in a few weeks if the returns aren't there.

      All combinations of these strikers listed and the mids seem totally fine.

  29. LucasPodolski
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Zinchenko and Dendoker for Soyuncu and Hudson Odoi?

    1. LucasPodolski
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      For a -4

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Stick

        1. LucasPodolski
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Really?

    just saw two nice Pukki goals

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

      Just saw two less Pukki points than he’s been getting FPL teams lately.
