Martial comes through injury doubt to start for Man United

Anthony Martial (£7.6m) has come through his pre-match injury doubts to start for Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinted that he wasn’t sure if the Frenchman could feature from the beginning in Gameweek 16 but it looks as if he might have been playing mind-games ahead of such an important match.

Martial’s presence means that Manchester United’s attack is largely at full-strength for their trip across the city, Marcus Rashford (£8.8m) and Daniel James (£6.1m) either side of him.

However, the main Fantasy focus of this match is naturally going to be on the hosts and, thankfully, there are very few shocks and surprises.

Raheem Sterling (£11.9m) and Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m) form two-thirds of the front-three with Bernardo Silva (£7.9m) also included in the starting line-up.

Kevin de Bruyne (£10.3m) and David Silva (£7.6m) are both present in central midfield while Angeliño (£4.7m) gets a second start in a row at left-back.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Angeliño, Fernandinho, Stones, Walker; de Bruyne, D Silva, Rodrigo; Sterling, Jesus, B Silva.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Lingard, D James; Martial.

      Not everyday son will score like that

      KDB is perhaps the best player in the league, playing for the second best team.
      I'd say he is valuable, long term.

    Jimenez, Ings, Pulisic, Tomori >> Rashford, Abraham, Alli, Kelly (-8)

      If you do it before full time, you might get all their points too.

      From whom?

  21. FDMS All Starz

    Kdb looks very threatening when city attack but seems like he is the only one trying, needs the likes of Kun and Sane to finish off the chances he makes

  22. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A) KDB > Son
    B) Pulisic > Alli (-4)

    * I've got 0.8 value rise from KDB and only 0.1 value rise from Pulisic

    1. Am sorry to say again it�…

    No need to wonder where their bitterness comes from.

    Their manager oozes it.

        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

            Dunno why he doesn't just go on a livestream shoutbox . Would seem his natural habitat.

          You really are a classless kock. Always trying to incite others with idiotic posts , working off wild incorrect assumptions it's tits like you that should be banned from this site as opposed to others who have been for far less . And don't start that tiresome obsession nonsense again . If you behave constantly like a di*K you should be called out for it.

            Geez don’t let this Tw@t get to you mate. Not even worth the typing. Some sad chap who has lost his FPL luck and can’t handle sucking! Ignore.

      Let’s be honest, most football fans are awful.

    What a dive from sterling

  26. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling flop.

    9/10 - he's no Tom Daley.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I appreciate his commitment to my FPL team though.

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

        Every dive without a booking is appreciated by FPL gaffers 😉

  27. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If VAR just ruled that no penalty then surely it’s a yellow card for a dive

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

      English players don't dive.

    What will the punishment from the FA be? Empty stadium would be harsh on the three City supporters.

    Anyone here hiding behind the sofa due to not having any City Assets anymore. I got rid of Sterling and David Silva last GW.
