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.

    Liverpool is the best team in the land without doubt. KdB, Bilva and Laporte only players who could make XI starting in Liverpool.

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bilva has been garbage lately

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Nah. He is good but he is 32 and Firmino is reason why Mane and Salah are fantastic

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but i think in overall.

    2. Dirty Harry

      1. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

  10. tm245
    • 12 Years

    Shaw and Lingard off, Young and Tuanzebe on

  11. sozopol
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    If this 1 pointer holds, KDB averaging about 4 points per match over last 6. Not sure that's cutting it for 10.2

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

    This City side won’t beat Leicester in GW18

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Without Kun it’s tough

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Problem is it's one week early for selling him before Arsenal. Meanwhile, Alli and Son to rise by 0.2

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

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

    Flip sake the one corner KDB doesn’t take!
    Also how on earth is sterling top of City bps. He’s been tackled like 10 times! Thought KDB might be on for sneaky bps if no further goals but booking cancelled that of course
