Recapping the best Manchester United players ahead of FPL restart

Our series of team-by-team refresher articles continues with a look at Manchester United, as the clock ticks down on the Fantasy Premier League resumption in June.

Taking data from Gameweeks 24-29 as a jumping-off point for wider discussion, we will be analysing the Red Devils’ prospects for the season run-in and pinpointing the Fantasy assets who could prosper in the remaining nine Gameweeks.

United certainly have one of the more appealing fixture schedules in Gameweeks 30+ to 38+, playing only one of the ‘big six’ and half a dozen of the clubs currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

In decent form shortly before coronavirus stopped play, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will also welcome back Marcus Rashford (£8.8m) and Paul Pogba (£8.3m) from injury when we recommence this month.

With this article borrowing heavily from the data available in our Members Area, only subscribers of Fantasy Football Scout can read on.

    is the lack of Ederson in BB30 drafts just due to tripling up in attack? Sterling/KDB/Aguero is a bit too much when trying to get 15 out

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      sorry what you mean by 15 out?

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Bench Boost means he has 15 players

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          pointless bb this week. No real advantage

          1. @fpl_phenom
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            no advantage to having 4 extra players ?

    2. Geordie19
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes probably

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, I’m triple city attack on BB30

  4. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Of course Lundstram was going to put a spanner in the works...

  5. Mr Tin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What say you peeps. BB this week and WC next. Already own Fernandes so some TV in him.

    a) Mahrez & Fernandes
    b) Sterling & Traore

    Also:
    Samatta or Jota

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A and Jota

  6. WD27
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Single game week player upto 6.9m? Thinking Pulisic as a punt against Villa.. not even sure on his pecking order ?

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mount

    2. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Barnes

      1. POLSKA GOLA
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sarr going to get 20 points

    4. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mount, Chelsea playing a weak villa defence. Overlooked massively. People are getting Villa mids over Chelsea mid which is beyond me

  7. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this team? Going to WC straight after bench boost played

    Ederson, Henderson
    TAA, Fernandez, Baldock, Mings, Lund
    McGinn, Grealish, KDB, Mane, Cantwell
    Aguero, Auba, Ings.

    Thanks

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      10 dgw players not bad...but why bb?

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ings has Norwich. Cantwell might become Saka. Could swap Fernandez for someone

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          my concern with this strategy is that the bb team will need immediate surgery the week after...2 chips gone in a week

  8. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone on BB in gw30 actually opting for and/or sticking with Salah?

    He was in my squad pre-lockdown. Would mean losing 0.2 to get him back on WC in gw31.

    1. Holteenderinthesky
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm keeping him. The Derby nearly always has goals

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Very true, and why I am considering keeping. But those funds open up possibilities for a BB in a dgw. Tough decision, for me at least.

        1. Holteenderinthesky
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Depends if you think losing 0.2 and a good fixture is worse than going with Auba or Aguero for two games.

          1. jdp219
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I can afford all three, but have to go thin in other spots if keeping Salah. With Salah, I'm looking at this:
            Hendo, Ramsdale
            O'Connell, Kelly, Trent, Saiss, Targett
            KDB, Grealish, Salah, Saka, Fleck
            Auba, Aguero, Ayew

  9. Holteenderinthesky
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    First mess around with the free transfers. I've all my chips except TC.
    Leno
    Laporte, Stevens, O'connell, Baldock
    KDB, Sterling(c), Salah, Grealish,
    Samatta, Ings,
    Button, TAA, Nkeitah, Cantwell.
    Do I make my bench stronger and BB? Are we likely to get further DGWs? Or is this it?

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd leave the chips imo and put strong team out for next few gws

      1. Holteenderinthesky
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Team good enough to go with or any changes? Will be wildcarding next week

        1. n14mul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Think alot of people are over looking the BB strategy in 30+. Personally I am setting up my team using the unlimited trasfers to set my team up for the 1st 3-4 gw then use my fh and wc accordingly

    2. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ings is risky poor fixture for sot

      1. Holteenderinthesky
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Whys it a poor fixture? Bottom of the league and the 2nd worse defence?

        1. Loftus cheeky nandos
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Sot have poor fixtures in the long run I mean so worth getting rid off imo

    3. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Isn’t that team pretty poor for GW31+? Are you Not better off doing a FH?

      1. Holteenderinthesky
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'll be wildcarding after this week. See the unlimited transfers as an effective 2nd free hit so can't see why you wouldn't use it

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On FH which one would you prefer?
    A. Lacazette McGinn (No SGW player)
    B. Jimenez Ozil (1 SGW player)
    C. Jota Fernandes (2 SGW players)

    1. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C for me.

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

  11. BlueMan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Can I ‘Free Hit’ and still take advantage of the unlimited transfers or will my team default back to the one I had when week 38 ended?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Team default back

  12. BlueMan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ta.

  13. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Considering the profit i made, which of the following players are worth keeping for a BB this week? will WC 31

    A) Jimenez (lose 0.2)

    B) Fernandes (lose 0.2)

    C) Mane (lose 0.2)

    D) Salah (lose 0.3)

    E) TAA (lose 0.3)

    F) )DCL (lose 0.4)

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      ADE

    2. FOMFF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only lose DCL. To me, the rest are essential and expensive. IMO

  14. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Will saiss play 90 min every game?

  15. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A. Pepe and Aguero
    B. Sterling and Laca/Nketiah

    Have KDB and Auba. Rolling with Laporte as my 3rd city player

    1. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t see why everyone wants Pepe he’s so expensive and has poor returns better downgrading and using funds elsewhere

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Lack of arsenal options behind Auba really, Pepe is just a punt, prob won’t get both games

      2. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He was an expensive signing

  16. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How is this fh team

    Leno
    Baldock stevens targett
    Pepe sterling kdb grealish
    Abraham auba aguero

    Should i make any changes

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Target to sheff Utd defender, go all in

      1. Hazardous1983
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Big call. Isnt Triple up to much

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Not imo, target might not get both games. Egan or O’Connol defo will and have better clean sheet odds

    2. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cpuld you get laca over tammy and then have hendo over leno?

  17. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is this team strong enough for the run in? If so I’ll FH in Gw30+ As I have no 2nd WC

    Ederson McCarthy
    Egan Lascelles Robbo TAA Doherty
    Sarr Barnes Bruno salah KDB
    DCL Jimmy nketiah

    1. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Like it

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks just feels weird not to use any of the unlimited transfers

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah close to my team and I am FH-ing

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Leaning that way to join you, how’s the FH team shaping up?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Weird, 3 SHU defenders 2 AVL attackers to start with 😉

          1. dbeck
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Any single gw’ers making the cut?

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              See above ... maybe not if so: one of Bruno, Jota or Jimenez with TAA outside chance

  18. Dr.Oftaw
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Unlimited transfers has done my nut in, too many options!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      FH and relax 😉

  19. royals forever

    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    In your opinion who is the best

    Long Term Arsenal DF
    Long Term Aston Villa DF

    to have in a BB 30+ team if you are not FHing yet and you have no WC either

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Honestly, none long-term but if must ARS

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      None,in same situation and going BB with Egan + O'Connell(TAA - VVD - Doherty)

  20. Brimble82
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Looking at finishing off a GW30+ FH team, and I'm stuck between my 4th/5th Midfielder slots (playing 3-5-2).
    Would you:
    a) Grealish & CHO
    b) McGinn & Mount

    Rest of front 7 is KDB-Raz-Pepe/Kun-Auba

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Are you thinking mcginn is rushed back to play two games in week?

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        My thinking is that he's fit (played in the WBA friendly) and when he was fit, he looked great.
        Everyone will have Grealish - few will go SJM.

        Same ??'s on McGinn, probably also extend to CHO to be honest! At least he won't be ruled out with COVID though!

      2. Tony Moon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Hardly rushed, he was almost ready to start in March.

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe wait,Pedro and Willian still havent sign for rest of season i think.

      If Pedro dont sign CHO is good option

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        The number of times I have punted on CHO over the last 3 seasons! One of them is going to have to pay off!

  21. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hey everyone,

    Am i best to use unlimited transfers and BB or use FH? Team before transfers, 3.3m ITB.

    Pope McCarthy
    TAA Stevens Doherty Taylor Fernandez
    Salah KDB Bruno Barnes Saka
    Rashford Jiminez DCL

    Could change to this and BB?

    Leno Henderson
    TAA Stevens Baldock Saiss Fernandez
    Sterling KDB Bruno Grealish Saka
    Auba Jimi Tammy

    Thoughts, Cheers

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Should have said, i have no WC.

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I’d FH, your old team is great and means you can really attack the doubles. I assume no WC left

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate, yeah no WC

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      FH for me, BB not so much advantage this week and your original team is very good

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers mate

    4. The Mandalorian

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, looks like FH is the way to go

  22. jimmyabs1987

    Anyone think Foden Or Gundogen will get minutes in double? Am I better going for a Traore for one week on a BB or taking a risk on one of the city players getting minutes in the double? I’m WC week after anyway?

    1. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Foden pay get 10 mins a game, he won’t start

    2. Countess Weffie von Wobbego…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fleck or McGinn likely to get 180 minutes.

  23. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How does this look with wc the following week?
    Henderson
    Taa, Stevens, lund
    Sterling, kdb, grealish, Saka, bruno
    Aguero, auba

    1. jimmyabs1987
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Have you got rid of Salah and value? Will you want Mané or Salah back?

      1. timawflowers
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah took salah out and will use my wc to put him back in

    I'm sure Gundogan will and Foden most likley as well, Gundogan more than Foden, but if anyone of those scores than Foden

    Anyone know if there has been more or less clean sheets in bundesliga since restart?
    I know goals have increased marginally I think and home advantage has decreased but what has change in cs been?

      Don’t know, but my gut is it’ll be like any start of season

      Defence is never as tight & goals flow

      There still are clean sheets, I think it's similar to before, but honestly, I don't think Bundesliga can be used as comparison with PL. The only thing we can take from BL is that the home advantage is gone, which I think is interesting for Man City games and maybe reduces the chances for teams like Brighton who are usually better at home

        Yes, excluding the Bayern game, there were only a total of 15 goals last weekend in 8 fixtures. Three 1-0, one 2-0, three 1-1, and one 2-2.

      It’s a big punt in the doubles and if you happy to WC week after why not! I’m doing same but not sure I can avoid the Liverpool derby

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I probably will wildcard the following week to be fair

      I like Douglas Luiz. So cheap and should at least get 4 points.

      Good team similar to mine. What is your reasoning behind less nailed Lundstram over the cheaper and more nailed on Egam? I have done the same btw

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        It’s Lundstrum mate, you’ll either get a 12 pointer or 1 pointer you just never know with the big fella

    Is Mendy going to be starting and fit so we think? Would you go Laporte or Walker instead?

      I think the issue of Mendy with Sane will come up again. I've Mendy in my team and don't see why I shold move him out for the DGW

      I’m tempted by mendy - surely he’s got to get 1 game - if it’s a good one then why drop

        Really? Since when did having good games protect u from pep rotation

          When you’re not tired and risking injury

          Aguero just kept playing start of the season

          Any manager what’s the team to settle - 5 subs, so main team gets 70-80mins and then plenty of fresh blood

    What do you guys think of this for a BB GW30:

    Henderson, Leno
    Egan, TAA, Tierney, Lundstram, Aarons
    Sterling, KDB, Grealish, Douglas Luiz, Cantwell
    Auba, Aguero, Samatta

    Nothing itb.

    Kept TAA due to team value tied up in him.

    Fancy Lundstram due to Goal Threat and although he may not start, I already have double Sheffield United defence anyway.

    Fancy maxing out on double GW players as at least they have more minutes to do something
