Rashford hauls again while Alli’s resurgence continues

Manchester United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) x2 | Dele Alli (£8.5m)
  • Assists: None | Serge Aurier (£4.9m)
  • Bonus: Rashford x3, Alli x2, Aurier x1

A 13-point haul against Spurs on Wednesday night propelled Marcus Rashford (£8.7m) into third on the list of top-scoring FPL forwards this season.

It is now four scores of nine points or more in the past seven Gameweeks for the Manchester United striker and, over the Red Devils’ last three league games, Rashford has registered three goals and two assists en route to two double-figure returns.

On the striker, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told Amazon Prime:

He’s played all the games more or less this season. The boy is getting fitter and fitter, more experienced and what a performance. Two goals, creates them himself, could and should’ve had two more. Free-kick is going in all the way and just at the end it curls outside. So a fantastic performance by the boy.

After this weekend’s Manchester derby, United have a run of six relatively favourable fixtures before a trip to face Liverpool in Gameweek 23. Rashford is likely to be a serious contender for Fantasy squads over the festive period then, while the same can be said for Dele Alli (£8.5m).

Despite an underwhelming performance from Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur side in Gameweek 15, the confident-looking midfielder still looks ripe for investment.

Alli made it four attacking returns in three league starts under the Portuguese boss as Spurs fell to a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford.

Mourinho said of the resurgent midfielder:

I just try to play Dele in a position where the principles of play suit him. He’s playing well and he’s scoring goals. I can’t ask for more other than to keep him going.

After a first half where Rashford scored once and had several more chances, Alli stole the spotlight with some sublime skill before the interval.

Following a scramble in the Man United area, Serge Aurier (£4.8m) saw his shot from near the byline saved by David de Gea (£5.5m).

The ball spun up into the air before Alli appeared to conjure it back down, his first touch looping over a static United defence before he volleyed past the Red Devils’ Spanish stopper.

Rashford had opened the scoring after six minutes as his drive beat Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) too easily at the keeper’s near post.

But the Argentinean then made a string of saves from Man Utd’s prime FPL asset, who saw a 35-yard shot tipped onto the bar before Gazzaniga denied the England striker again moments later. Rashford had already sent a wicked free-kick just wide in the 18th minute.

Hugo Lloris’ stand-in Gazzaniga was bested by Rashford again straight after the interval as the forward converted from the penalty spot after being fouled by Moussa Sisssoko (£4.9m).

Both managers agreed on the point that the Red Devils dominated before Alli’s goal, with Mourinho recognising that the game could have been beyond his team before the first half ended:

I think for 30 minutes they were not just better than us, they were much better than us. They were better than us in aggression and intensity, winning 50-50 duels. We were lucky.

Then at the end of the first half we were us, and United were worried. In the second half we made some adjustments and we thought we were going to win it. The second goal is hard to process We have to blame ourselves and I think United must be happy with the points.

While Mourinho was less than pleased with Spurs’ first-half showing, Solskjaer was effusive in praising his troops.

I thought that (the first half) was probably the best we’ve played for a long time. I thought we dominated the game, could’ve finished the game there and then. Some great saves from their goalkeeper but when they get the goal just before half time, you think about getting in here, settling all the heads and just go again.

We’re best when we’re on the front foot, attacking quickly and when we’re aggressive. The boys followed the plan and executed their skills all night.

Despite the absence of Anthony Martial (£7.7m) – who Solskjaer has ruled out “for a little while” – Rashford stayed in his usual wide-left position as Mason Greenwood (£4.3m) earned a rare start up front.

Rashford gave Aurier a torrid time all evening long and could have completed his hat-trick but got his feet slightly mixed up in the Spurs box just before the full-time whistle.

At the other end, his England counterpart Harry Kane (£10.9m) failed to have a shot inside the box as he put in another uninspiring Fantasy performance. Son Heung-min (£9.8m) also cut a peripheral figure but did get on the end of a good opportunity early in the second half.

As for the Lilywhites’ backline, they have now conceded two goals in each of Mourinho’s four games in charge of the club. The Humble One has had a definite impact in north London but the Spurs defence remains as vulnerable as before.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Young, Maguire, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Lingard, James; Greenwood.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Vertonghen, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Aurier; Winks, Sissoko; Son, Dele Alli, Lucas Moura; Kane.

          Tricky as wouldn’t want to lose Pulisic, think he’ll come good. Mcginn upgrade is obvious one but not sure where you find 0.7m? I wouldn’t want to lose anyone else apart from maybe Aurier but presume you just brought him in

            Right just bought Aurier.
            So what to do with my FT.
            Puli is due a rest. Thinking it will be vs Villa at the weekend.

              I’m a big fan of Pulisic but doesn’t sound like you’re convinced so you should go for it

      I got the only replacement that got away with in Rashford. 5 points last week whilst my bench blanked and outscored by one this week. Next game looks a bit poo but it’s not so bad

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same here, got Jimenez so will give it 3gws and maybe look to switch back

    6. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Got Ings. Subs score 2, 2, 0. Good call I think.

    7. Jon Snow
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Content with my decision because i have Rashford, just wish the price shenanigans hadn't happened, should have dropped twice.

      The plan was always to bring Tammy back

    8. Tempestic

          No he Ian ’t.....

          TAA first semi-full season last year he beat Alonso best ever score by 185 v 177.....

          I reckon TAA will have many more seasons of beating Alonsos best season score of 177.

      Can't relate. Getting jammy Rico points in after Chilwell no show and first sub Tomori absence

    After watching the highlights, I feel very lucky as Mane non-owner, that could've easily been a hattrick and two assists, he's on fire atm.

      Bournemouth next 😎

    2. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think u can count yourself lucky if mane gets 15 points. He is by far the best player in fpl this season, don't know y u wouldn't have him. Shane i captained vardy

    Is 60 from 10 about average?

    1. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Better

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The average is 42 so 60 is above average since 60 is more than 42

          Top 10K or LMS average is a better guide.

    Would you save FT or use 0.6 in the bank to upgrade Janmaat (to Aurier, Kelly or Targett)?

    Henderson
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram
    Mane Son KDB Pulisic
    Vardy Jimenez Rashford

    Button Rico Janmaat Elneny

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A Lundstram yc will decide for you.
      Pulisic might get his rest etc so pressers ftw.

        Thanks TM

  18. Digital-Real

    Ward Prowse at 5.8m is ticking along well. 30pts from last 5 games.
    Next 3: new, WHU, avl

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Sure is doing better that mids that cost a lot more.

  19. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years

    Looking at bringing Abraham back. Jimenez Tomori ➡ Abraham Kelly.
    Sound moves?

    Pope
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram
    Mane Son Alli Mount
    Vardy Kane Jimenez

    (Button, Cantwell Tomori Williams)
    2FT 0ITB

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Kane to Tammy

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I like Harry's fixtures better than Raul's.

  20. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Just noticed Pukki scored again...

    back-back 8 pointers.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep 2 goals and an assist in last 3. I still have him as been putting out other fires.

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Wow that's really great for you.

        I wonder if he could be a viable option again.

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ings has done one better, back to back 9 pointers haha. So many forwards doing well at the moment

  21. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    So was Tomori rested or is he out of favour?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Similar team to CL vs Valencia.

      Expect more changes on Saturday.

      https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/12/04/team-news--chelsea-vs-aston-villa

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        TM, do you think that pertains to Tammy as well? A rest v Everton with CL in mind.

        1. Tempestic
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I doubt this tbh since he just had a rest at the weekend

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          He limped off for one.
          Must win game to qualify in CL vs the bottom team so expect some juggling.
          Pulisic is the one I expect to be rested.

          1. Tempestic
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            this is my worry as well, Pulisic looks very suspect this gw

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        K thanks. He is mainly a bench player for me now. But with triple pool I need a decent bench ready for 18.

  22. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Early ideas on this lot?

    Pope Button
    TAA Lund Soy Dunk Reid
    Mane Son KDB Mount Cantwell
    Vardy Jimmy Ings

    4m in bank, 2 FT.

    Cheers for any help.

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aside from Abraham or possibly a gk change, everything looks good.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Mount?

        1. Teahupo'o
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I know many here are down on him, but he still passes the eye test for me. Even more so given his initial price.

        2. Bggz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          mount to alli run with the spurs double up over Bur wol then see if you need both for CHE

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looks well set up, even with 4m in the bank. Can’t see anything too exciting, Pope to another keeper or Reid to Kelly or maybe mount to Alli but not sure I’d want to lose mount ahead of Everton

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        A Lundstram yc would make it more obvious.

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

      Cheers both.

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Gw 18? And also just why in general? Just coz it means less money ITB doesn't mean its a better team..

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Would you captain him? Scored a hatty vs B'mouth away last season.

    5. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pope to Henderson and you’re good to go

    6. SuperDan
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mount > Alli
      Pope > Henderson
      Ings > Tammy

  23. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Will Mane start at the weekend do we think? Even if he does surely he might get some reduced minutes with a crucial game against Salzburg midweek?

    1. MOZIL
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think he will start and rest on week 18

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        What in the club world cup?

        1. Tempestic
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Tbf they got from the 18th until the 26th between CWC and gw 19

    2. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think he will rest opposite of salah firmino this gw

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So Gazza... 3 2 2 2 since I brought him in. Might as well shift back to Button, put the extra cash further up front and just play Ryan.

    After Burnley he’s out

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      i have no issues with one keeper this season

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I never use a transfer on a goalkeeper unless on wc, have an injury or I’ve 2ft and nothing to use it on

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Getting in Guaita this week for Pope didn't go so bad 🙂

    3. Kepa's at the wheel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Shift to Martin. At least he's playing, albeit for West Ham

  25. Bggz

      Save it.

  28. yer old da
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do we really think Alli is as good a pick as Son? I still fancy the Korean to massively outscore him.

    1. SuperDan
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Im having trouble deciding

    2. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli is practically a striker now, while Kane is dropping to pick the ball if Eriksen is not on the pitch. Son is bombarding from left and seems he'll become a good source of assists, but it's Alli who gets to finish

  29. moment
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Have overstacked my front 8 and given myself a benching headache each week. Who this week from these muppets?

    KDB Mane Pulisic Maddison Alli
    Jimi Tammy Vardy

    I'm leaning Pulisic on the basis of a likely rest...
