Fernandes back with a bang as Rashford and Martial underwhelm at Brighton

Brighton 0-3 Man United

  • Goals: Mason Greenwood (£4.3m), Bruno Fernandes x2 (8.7m)
  • Assists: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m), Paul Pogba (£8.3m), Greenwood
  • Bonus Points: Greenwood x3, B Fernandes x2, Wan-Bissaka x1

Bruno Fernandes (£8.7m) came back from the Fantasy brink to show his true worth in Manchester United’s 3-0 win at Brighton.

The Portuguese international had been overshadowed by Paul Pogba‘s (£8.3m) return to the starting line-up in Gameweek 31+ before a poor 120 minutes against Norwich in the FA Cup over the weekend, leading to low expectations for Gameweek 32+.

But Fernandes blew those out of the water, coming away with two goals, a clean sheet and two bonus for a 15-point haul on Tuesday evening.

While Pogba’s presence did appear to harm Fernandes’ assist potential once again, having the Frenchman around unlocked something else for his midfield colleague: even greater goal threat.

Fernandes found himself offered up plenty of opportunities and, even though they were often from outside the penalty area, he still looked threatening all evening.

He came close to opening the scoring in the 12th minute when Pogba squared to him on the edge of the box. Fernandes’ sweeping finish curled back in on Mat Ryan‘s (£4.7m) goal, striking the base of the post.

Fernandes then put a direct free-kick over in the 20th minute, before finally netting the goal he attempted earlier when Pogba squared it to him again in the 31st minute, with a little help from an Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m) deflection.

Fernandes’ finest effort came in the second half, as he finished off an exciting counter-attack move, reminiscent of the Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney glory days. Harry Maguire (£5.3m) headed clear, Nemanja Matić (£4.8m) hooked a through-ball out to Mason Greenwood (£4.3m), who crossed to Fernandes arriving at the back-post with pace, volleying beyond Ryan with aplomb.

“You know, good defending on the set play and you know we’ve got pace on the counter. We want to go forward quickly and a great pass by Nemanja, great cross by Mason (Greenwood) and fantastic finish from Bruno.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

With another haul in the bag, Fernandes owners will be in a good mood ahead of Gameweek 33+ which brings a hapless Bournemouth side to Old Trafford. Especially encouraging was that, with the game won, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was able to substitute the Portuguese midfielder just after the hour-mark – particularly important given his FA Cup exertions over the weekend.

“Great to get that 3-0 early so I could get Bruno and Luke off. They’ve had a hard weekend with 120 minutes in the cup. That worked out well.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

It was fitting that Greenwood’s cross for Fernandes’ second goal sailed over Marcus Rashford (£9.1m) and Anthony Martial (£8.2m) as both players blanked in Gameweek 32+ following decent scores in the previous outing.

While holding each of them for a home match against Bournemouth seems like the obvious decision, there were certainly elements of both players’ performances that were a bit discouraging.

The 20%-owned Rashford was heavily involved in approach play during the first half, as Solskjaer was keen for Manchester United to ask questions of Martín Montoya (£4.3m), but could not find his way into dangerous penalty area situations.

If anything, Rashford played much wider than his owners and backers for the captaincy would have liked, his only effort of the game coming from outside the box, as he cut inside onto his right-foot and blazed high and wide.

Meanwhile, in contrast to the explosive display against Sheffield United, Martial was forced to endure a workmanlike evening at Brighton. As Brighton tried to sit deep, often shifting their back-four into a back-five by tucking the advanced Tariq Lamptey (£4.0m) into full-back and left-back Dan Burn (£4.5m) into the centre-back trio, Manchester United’s centre-forward did not get much space. The role he performed for the team, pulling markers away from team-mates, played a big part in the success of the evening, but left him without a single shot at the Amex Stadium.

While holding Martial and Rashford ahead of Bournemouth is an obvious decision for Fantasy managers, the recent performances of Greenwood will be turning their eye.

He has now started each of the last two matches in a row and made a case for man of the match at Brighton.

The budget forward produced an excellent piece of skill and finished well for the opening goal and it was his pace on the counter that earned him an assist, and all three bonus for United’s third of the evening.

With Daniel James (£5.8m) the main competition for his place, it is hard to see Greenwood benched for the next match. Reliability of starts is not something that has applied to the forward in his time at Manchester United so far, so if he were to finally achieve it, with form and fixtures converging, Greenwood could provide exceptional value between now and the end of the season.

“(Greenwood) played fantastically. He’s a young kid and he’s a special kid. We know when he gets faced up and looking forward he’s dangerous but his hold-up play and link-up play today was great. He’s just as good with his left foot as he is with his right foot. He’s developing into a fine young player.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

As Fantasy managers chase other ways to invest in Manchester United assets, Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.4m) is becoming an increasingly viable option.

The right-back made plenty of forays down his side of the pitch against Brighton, providing yet another assist. That was his third since Gameweek 26, having produced just one in the first 25 matches of the campaign.

With Bournemouth (home), Aston Villa (away), Southampton (home), Crystal Palace (away) and West Ham (home) up next, Wan-Bissaka is sure to combine his newfound assist potential with clean sheets as well.

Manchester United have now recorded six shutouts in their last eight Premier League matches, Wan-Bissaka averaging 7.25 points per game in that time, more than any defensive colleague.

Finally, Brighton assets largely proved once again how difficult it is to invest in their services.

Faced with a tough test, Graham Potter shuffled his pack extensively, deploying a blend of 4-4-2 and 3-5-1-1 during the match.

Key goalscorer Neal Maupay (£5.7m) did not feature until the second half, coming at the interval with Leandro Trossard (£5.8m). Of the two, it was the latter who went closest to scoring, twice shaving the post with fierce shots across goal.

“Purely tactical (the team selection). Using Aaron Connolly’s pace. I think Neal (Maupay) can help us off the bench. It’s important to have players that can come on and finish the game. It’s a big squad. Everybody is ready to help. We’ll need that going forward.” – Graham Potter

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-5-1-1): Ryan; Montoya, Burn, Duffy, Dunk (Bernardo 81′), Lamptey (Trossard 46′); Bissouma, D Stephens, Pröpper (Maupay 46′); Mac Allister (Mooy 81′), Connolly (March 87′).

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw (Williams 64′), Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Matic, Pogba (McTominay 64′); Rashford (D James 78′), B Fernandes (A Pereira 64′), Greenwood; Martial (Ighalo 78′).

    Anyone else with Fernandes and Martial still concerned about Rashford? Got DDG blocking me from the triple attack

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

      Nah. 2 United attackers is fine.

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

      Rash will do alright but still a bit rusty and far from full fitness IMO so not in a huge rush to sell any of my 3 Utd to free up space for him right now

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think triple United attack is essential but I'm a bit worried about United defence as a AWB owner. We were very lucky not to concede in the 2nd half and majority of the team didn't seem to care at all about keeping a CS which has been an issue in comfortable wins since Ole took over.

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Worried, with those fixtures? They've kept six cleanies in the past eight.

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

          If you watched the match yesterday, you should know why I'm worried with the 2nd half defensive performance. Yes fixtures are easy but Brighton's attacking stats isn't better than most teams we'll play either and we were lucky not to concede yesterday, gave away a lot of chances in the 2nd half.

    4. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If it helps I have Fernandes and Rashford and I'm concerned about Martial! You can't cover them all, invariably there will be games where the other attackers haul and yours blanks.

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

      I may 'downgrade' Rashy to Greenwood if he keeps starting. Great value if so.

    6. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Switching around atm seems wrong. If you have 2 stick with 2, you have 3 stick with 3

  2. fridge

    2 FTs

    Foster (fodder)
    TAA. AWB. Doherty (Lascelles. Holgate)
    KDB. Fernandes. Son. Rich (Saka)
    Jiminez. DCL. Rash

    Worth doing Rich & Rash > Salah & Greenwood?

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

      Yeh thats the exact transfer I noticed when just glancing at ur team. Difficult still coz its a very strong team as it is

    2. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks sensible to me.

  3. DAVESAVES
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    DDG (3.9)
    TAA Aurier Saiss (Lascelles Robinson)
    Salah Bruno KDB Son (Hayden)
    Rashford Jimenez DCL

    2 free transfer

    A) Son > Mahrez and free up some funds
    B) DDG > Pope and Son > Martial
    C) Burn a FT

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

      I have similar team.

      If Son doesnt look good, then Im switching him to Mahrez or Foden. (Foden allows me to upgrade DCL to Jesus) and have triple City attack.

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

    Doubled up on Wolves D with Boly and Patricio on WC in GW31+ instead of going with Pope in goal. In two gameweeks Pope already outscored Patricio by 7 pts. If Burnley can continue shutting out opponents and scoring the odd goal, surely it is worth switching Patricio to Pope for a hit?

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

      Not for a hit it's not.

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not for hit........

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wolves is likely to keep more CS than Burnley until the end of the season, so I definitely wouldn't do it for a hit.

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

      Cheers for the replies guys!

    5. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No - you made the right move. BUR won't keep that many cs compared to WOL so keep the faith. You can't go on two games to make a judgement.

    6. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Burnley was very very lucky to keep those clean sheets and luck cannot run forever...

    2. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years

      After Everton play spurs I likely will
      He
      Origi
      Or greenwood depending on feel and rank at that time
      He always looks good I don’t buy into droughts as being the end of any asset

      Jesus was always nailed.

  10. Reg83

    can anyone explain why calvert lewin is so popular? cheap...yes...but i dont get it. Recently bought him and he's done nada

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

      Decent stats, nailed, lack of other good forward options in that price range

    2. Reg83
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      i am thinking of shipping him too.

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

      He's done great for me since I bought him in GW 23.

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

    I genuinely am not sure if I need to WC at all for the rest of the season. Might save it for like GW37 or something.

    Pope Martin
    TAA Soyuncu Holgate Taylor Williams
    Salah Mane KdB Fernandes Dendoncker
    Rashford DCL Jimenez

    My defense looks weak at first glance but by rotating Soyuncu, Holgate and Taylor I can get two good defenders out every week until at least GW 35.

    1. Christina.

  14. Reg83
    • 4 Years

    how is this move for free? i reckon Greenwood is nailed now with ManU going all out for a CL spot

    Rashford & DCL to Greenwood & Jesus

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

      nope, keep DCL and spend money in midf

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bold! Could massively backfire

      1. Reg83
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        or just do a simple DCL to Girould? I have no other CHE cover

    3. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Prefer the first couple tbh. More gametime and proven point scorers

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thats a brave move...... are you chasing ??

      1. Reg83

        yes about 300k overall rank

  15. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Good use of 2 FT's???
    Rashford to Nketiah
    Guendouzi to Martial

    Sets up this 3-5-2
    Patricio
    AWB-TAA-Saiss
    Martial-KDB-Alli-Salah(c)-Bruno
    DCL-Jimmy

    B-Nketiah-Lascelles-Holgate

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would say so. Taking of doing the same two transfers with my frees tbh.

  16. grennans2
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Greenwood or Nkietah the better option going forward?

    Have Bruno & Rashford so not sure if Greenwood is the best option for the 3rd MUN spot or better to go with AWB/DDG?

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

      Arsenal fixtures not great, I'd get Greenwood and possibly do swap to Nketiah for gw38.

  17. Party time

      Can they just relegate Norwich, Aston Villa, Bournemouth &Watford. They should make it 4teams please. Those teams are trash

            Been looking at all sorts of ways to get Mahrez, Martial, Son or Mane I’m but might just do this simple 2 ft, bench Richarlison this gw away to spurs and then use him on the easier fixtures

            DCL to Greenwood
            Guendozi to Foden these transfers also gives me 1.2milliom in bench and would make this team

            Patrício

            Taa Doherty Aurier

            Salah KDB Bruno Foden

            Rashford Greenwood Jimmy

            Button Richarlison Holgate Lascelles

            Got a couple of options I’d like some advice on

            Auba/Williams > Greenwood/Aurier

            Should I do this for free then Barnes > KDB with the 7m ITB next week after Barnes plays Palace at home (if I even play him) - trying to strengthen the bench ready for a bench boost. I could even do Hayden > Mahrez and Barnes > Richarlison or something? How does this look?

            Current team with 2 FT and £1.4m ITB

            Martinez
            TAA Saiss Alonso
            Salah Son Bruno Barnes
            Auba Ings Jimi

            Subs : Hayden Lascelles Williams

            Is this worth the -4?…Cantwell > Mahrez & Krul > Button.

            Hi all,

            What are your thoughts with my team?

            Pope Button
            TAA Doherty Lascelles Aurier Kiko
            Sarr KDB Mane Bruno Guendouzi
            Jimenez Rashford DCL

            2 FT, 0.4 itb, FH chip remaining

            Took a punt on 2 x Watford on my WC last week which hasn't paid off. Now looking to add more Chelsea and Man U to the team for the coming weeks.

            Should I:

            a) DCL & Sarr out - Greenwood & Pulisic/Willian in

            b) DCL & Kiko out - Greenwood & Alonso in

            c) DCL, Kiko & Aurier out - Nketiah, Alonso & AWB in (-4 hit)

            d) Use FH chip and stock up on Chelsea Man U & Liverpool

            Haven't got a strategy for FH but I feel I can put out a team next week to make me reluctant to use this.

            Thanks!

              Wrong time to lose DCL imo.

            am I the only one keeping faith with Sarr? 3 GWks after this one look great

            1. TRIPOS TOPPER
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              he looks good, Arsenal

              good 5th mid option though

              1. TRIPOS TOPPER
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Arsenal don't*

            2. Reg83
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              i would ditch him. apart from his great performance vs LIV, he has done nothing. Mainly bcoz the team as a whole is poor

          10. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thoughts here?

            Patricio
            TAA Doherty Alonso
            Salah Martial Mane Fernandes Pulisic
            DCL Jimenez

            Could also downgrade Pulisic and add Ings for a front 3.

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

              Looks great, although I'd want at least one City player for those fixtures.

              I'd downgrade Alonso to AWB or Maguire and get Mahrez for Pulisic.

          11. Shark Team
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            De Gea/ AWB Maguire Koulibaly Shaw/ DaniloPereira Pogba Bruno/ Greenwood Rashford Martial can this team reach the level of Liverpool and City? I mean who needs Sancho?

            1. FPL Pillars
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Sign Duda from Norwich and you’re all set to win the PL.

            2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              3rd or 4th place (dependent on Chelsea), still a fair bit away from City and Liverpool but certainly going in the right direction.

            3. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              What I will say is, why do your fans moan about ownership non stop when this season you've spent 200m on players nearly this season alone? Man United's recruitment may be getting better now but before it was poor. Signing Lukaku more than Liverpool spent on Mane and Salah, etc.

            4. Reg83
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              they will finish 3rd next year. need to avoid injuries though

          12. Jafalad
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Of course not. The problems are still endemic. Beating a bunch of nobodies doesn't change anything.

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

              @ Sharky.

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Aubameyang + Richarlison > Greenwood + Salah (C) -4?

            Gives me so much in the bank to upgrade both Grealish + Lundstram the following week...

            1. Reg83
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              absolutely

          14. Reg83
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I am somehow tempted by doing Rashford to Greenwood & save almost 5m & upgrade elsewhere

            I wasnt impressed with Rashford positioning at all. too wide; similar to Sterling earlier in the season.

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

              I think many are considering the same provided Greenwood keeps starting.

            2. Old Man
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              I'd have to agree - his touch was poor too. If Greenwood gets 2 games out of 3 then that would be good enough for me.

            3. Klaren
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              He wasn't positioned wide against Shef Utd and had a lot of touches and chances in the box.

            2 FT's

            out for

            2. Pope and Cantwell/Gouendouzi

              Um no?

              I like 1 more. You picked Martinez and Foden. Stick by them.

              no way. keep martinez and foden
