Fantasy community turns to Fernandes in hour of need

Fantasy Premier League managers are turning to Bruno Fernandes (£11.1m) in their droves, desperate for some rare Gameweek 16 joy.

In a round where Everton and Manchester City are out of action, a number of key personnel were benched in Tuesday’s earlier fixtures and doubt hangs over the upcoming schedule, Fernandes could be the saviour for many.

No player has registered more than his total of seven double-digit hauls making him the second-most transferred-in asset for Gameweek 16.

Predictably, Fernandes starts in the number 10 role for a strong-looking Manchester United side, flanked by first-choice wingers Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) and Mason Greenwood (£7.1m) while Edinson Cavani (£7.8m) comes in for Anthony Martial (£8.7m).

Alex Telles (£5.5m) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.3m) take the full-back positions off Luke Shaw (£4.8m) and the injured Victor Lindelöf (£4.8m) while it’s a second consecutive start for Eric Bailly (£4.9m) alongside Harry Maguire (£5.4m).

Meanwhile, Nuno Espirito Santo has rung the changes for his Wolves line-up, perhaps handing the advantage to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Romain Saïss (£5.0m), Conor Coady (£4.9m) and Max Kilman (£4.1m) represent the best-possible back-three available to him right now in light of Willy Boly‘s (£5.4m) injury but Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m) and Ki-Jana Hoever (£4.4m) are handed the wing-back slots.

Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Fabio Silva (£5.2m) find themselves on the bench as Nuno hands the centre-forward berth to Pedro Neto (£5.9m), flanked by Vitinha (£4.8m) and Adama Traoré (£6.1m).

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Telles, Maguire, Bailly, Wan-Bissaka; Matic, Pogba; Rashford, B Fernandes, Greenwood; Cavani.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Kilman; Aït-Nouri, Neves, Moutinho, Hoever; Vitinha, Neto, Traoré.

      Based on what? They haven’t shown any angle which suggests his shot was off target.

    Man, ML rival absolutely crushing it with double Leeds defense, double Sou defense, BamBam. Already on 46 and has Salah(c) Kane Son to go. He's in the top 10k too now.

      I’m on 43 with Salah (c), Firmino and Son to go. After thinking it was going to be a disaster when Taylor went off, somehow he and Soucek are the only ones who’ve blanked for me.

      Bruno assist takes my Kilman CS bench points away.

    • Kiwivillan

      Unbelievable how Wolves let the ball in behind the last few minutes

        Depends on who else you have in your team and the baps incoming. Salah cappers could be rejoicing tomorrow

    • Aidan269
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      As a Bruno owner that's definitely a Saiss OG and Rashford assist

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Was on target

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed

    • Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford can cover Bruno in FPL

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He can certainly cover KDB anyways

    • Muchentuchel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      was it on target?

        1. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

      3. Kane and Ablett
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Crikey that escalated quickly

    • Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      bruno assist and cs

    • FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno never fails. Simple as that. Perma captain and use Salah money on other quality players

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lol, he got an assist with Kane and Salah cappers still to play.

        Hopefully

    • diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You sure that ain't a Saiss OG?

      1. Teomi
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Will need to wait for opta but I think rash shot would have hit the target. Probably a Bruno assist?

    • BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone spamming livefpl.net lmao

    • Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford rapidly becoming an option

    • Kane and Ablett
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Now as a Bruno owner not captainer do I want that to be an OG like Vardys or get the assist?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        OG

      2. Big boy Bowen

        Less than 100% ownership so you want points

    • Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    • WVA
