What impact can Amad Diallo have as an FPL asset at Manchester United?

Teenage sensation Amad Diallo is finally joining up with Manchester United after agreeing a £40million move in the summer.

After spending all season hoping Borussia Dortmund would lower their asking price for Jadon Sancho, Diallo was one of four players brought in by the Red Devils towards the end of the transfer window.

But anyone thinking of Diallo as a panic buy or a runner’s up prize to the England international could be in for a rude awakening.

The 18-year-old winger has been described by some as a “generational talent” and one of the best players in the world at his age.

He made such an impression at Atlanta in the first half of the season that boss Gian Piero Gasperini was eager to keep him for longer, only for Man United to insist on the move.

This would lead you to believe Diallo will feature straight away in the Man United first-team, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is so far keeping his cards close to his chest.

How the January transfer window and deadline day will affect FPL

“I’ve seen there’s been lots of expectations on Amad and rightly so, an exciting player with fantastic attributes we look forward to developing. It’s important we give him that time to settle in, if it’s in the under-23s or if he looks ready to go into the first team, I don’t know yet.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Prodigy

Not much data exists for us to be able to read much into Diallo’s game, having played just under an hour of senior team football in two appearances.

But already in this time, the youngster got himself onto the scoresheet in Atalanta’s 7-1 demolition of Udinese, cutting in from the right to score with his left foot.

Footage shared widely on social media shows Diallo loves to get the ball on the right hand side before dribbling inside and taking on the full-back.

As for his playing style, former teammates at Atalanta have gone as far as to describe him in the same breath as Lionel Messi.

“He plays like Messi. There are defenders in the first team that sometimes cannot stop him. To stop him in training we have to kick him.”

Papu Gomez

In a piece on The Athletic, Wyscout determine Diallo’s key attributes as excellent close control, a low centre of gravity and lightning quick acceleration.

And far from a one-trick-pony, special mention is given to his ability to go on the outside of the full-back and cross the ball well with his right foot.

According to Wyscout figures, Diallo has attempted 9.01 dribbles per 90 minutes, which is a high amount even for a winger.

The wonderkid is also not fouled very often, showing a hidden strength despite his diminutive appearance and a preference for riding tackles.

All of the above persuaded Solskjaer to part with a large amount for a player relatively untested at senior level, watching him personally in the UEFA Youth League where he terrorised Manchester City.

“We have followed Amad for a number of years and having watched him myself, I believe he is one of the most exciting young prospects in the game. Manchester United has a proud history of developing young players and everything is in place to enable Amad to reach his potential here. It will take him time to adapt but his speed, vision and fantastic dribbling ability will stand him in good stead to make the transition. He is a player with all of the raw attributes that are needed to be an important player for Manchester United in the years to come.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Prospects

Judging by Ole’s words above, it sounds like Diallo is going to be eased in this season, rather than jumping straight in to the first team set-up.

It may be worth noting another promising winger, Facundo Pellistri (£5.2m), signed in the summer, has yet to feature in the Premier League and has mainly been playing at an Under-23 level.

However, should Diallo impress in training and at the lower levels, the Red Devils’ struggles on the right hand side of their attack may force Solskjaer’s hand in introducing Diallo early.

Mason Greenwood (£7.1m) has struggled to replicate the form he showed last season on the right, and his game suggests he is more suited to a role through the middle.

Greenwood below-par and

Marcus Rashford (£9.6m), Dan James (£6.2m) and Juan Mata (£5.8m) have also been trialled with limited success down United’s right-hand side, with Ole even opting to ditch winger completely in some games and move to a midfield diamond.

But the diamond does not look like it will be a long-term solution, with Solskjaer stating on numerous occasions about how he wants his sides to play with pace and width.

And United hit a purple patch of form with Greenwood in the side last season, allowing him and Rashford to cut inside from wide and Anthony Martial (£8.8m) to play through the middle.

Diallo’s game looks like it suits this system perfectly and he could find himself gaining minutes sooner rather than later and in one of the league’s most potent attacks.

Value

Assuming Diallo comes in around the same value as Pellistri, this puts him in direct competition with a budget enablers such as Tomas Soucek (£5.2m) at West Ham and Raphinha (5.5m) of Leeds.

Without more to go on, it’s difficult to make a case to add Diallo to our teams until we get an idea of how Ole is going to incorporate him.

But should Diallo hit the ground running, he may ironically turn into last season’s Mason Greenwood, the man he is tipped to replace on the right-wing.

    b) Konza + Wilson > Coufal + Antonio (-4)
    c) Wilson > Antonio
    d) Konza > Coufal

      Wilson plays one game away at Arsenal (and still plays for that Newcastle team), Antonio has two home games vs Burnley and West Brom and now has no competition for place

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Antonio's competition is his hamstring.

        1. Dreaming of Irene
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'd still prefer to own Antonio with half a hammy v West Brom than continue to own and watch Wilson fall over to try and buy a foul on the rare occasions the ball comes near him

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

          pretty depressing face off between Antonio's Hamstring and Bruce's anti-football

  2. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Coufal (KWP) (Dier)
    KDB Son Fernandes Soucek Grealish
    Bamford Kane (Wilson)

    A. Grealish to Ziyech (free)
    B. Kane to Vardy (free)
    C. Grealish + Kane to Salah and Antonio (-4)

    Any thoughts. Any other suggestions.

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      To be honest mate, I would just save your FT here. Alternatively, get Salah in as per C but it can backfire big time

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But its DGW. YOLO

  3. PogChamp
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So many FH played. A lot of people will likely end up with 5 players playing at some point in the next few weeks.

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

      And your point is?

      1. PogChamp
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        There's worse to come with covid

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

          So people with only 4 or 5 players this week should have saved FH just in case a worse week happens? OK

          1. PogChamp
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I think it's better saved for rearranged fixtures... But that's just me.

            1. The Left Duke #3
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              ya and those 4-5 games in the future might be pure muck. This week was the perfect time to use it if you had only 5 players. Great fixtures for top teams.

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      what can you do really a season like this is no point worrying and no point planning, just go gameweek by gameweek

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I've ended up with 5 this week just about. Not the end of the world.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I had 5 players this week...

    5. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who knows. Eas as good a time as any to use it but hasnt paid off hugely so far as last nights results nullified potentoal gains. Only utd clean sheet was of any value. Play the game whatever way you feel. Make your oen decisions. Stay in your own lane..

    6. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      5 players is what I'd have this week if I hadn't used FH.

  4. zes
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is no one TCing in the double? Surely there won't be a better chance this season than KDB vs Palace and Villa at home?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I might do it.

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane/Son in a double longer ahead would be my best bet

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’d prefer Kane or Son.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not gonna do it. Not sure if Villa game will go ahead. Don't think the other games are slam dunks. Maybe Salah's.

    5. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      TC yes. Salah or KDB dependent on tonight's game. If KDB is flying then it'll be hard not to go for him.

  5. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I don't expect Lee Sou to be postponed tbh but we will see

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would make my life easier if it carrys on but at this point I have stopped care

        There were more pressing decisions with villa then fulham reschedule. Villa giving them more of a headache now and a decision on that one should come first. Wait your turn 🙂 Day by day with this virus. No harm in delays. Keeps us on our toes.

    Is the Sheffield United vs Brighton game in GW33 in jeopardy of cancellation?

    Just trying to plan some transfers....

    1. elwardio
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No. Hold Brewster and bissouma

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Might be the only match that GW, so would be advantage to those playing the long game....

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      If anything, I am keeping my TC chip to play in on Brewster that gameweek! Tasty 3 points incoming

      1. aleksaa2
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He'll get 1 point even on a TC...

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years

          😛

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years

      Thats easy. Forget about both those teams 🙂

  8. quayle99

    McCarthy
    Robertson Bednerek Mee Dallas
    Salah KDB(c) Soucek Fernandes Son
    Bamford
    [Martinez Targett Adams Davis]

    g2g? All on double week apart from Son who I think could still get a good haul at Sheffield.

    1. elwardio
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, it is fine to hold Son for this week and beyond. Whether they are all doubles depends on Leeds saints match going ahead and of course who knows if there could be other unforeseen cancellations

    No kdb for dgw, need to give up kane and mahrez..

    If i sell calvert and mahrez to take kdb, wont have enough funds to have the 3rd striker

    Help help

    Also is abraham good pick?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Relying on Mahrez doesn't sound fun.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But doesnt seems like i got a choice unless i give up kane

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          I'll probably be selling Kane and Grealish if that helps.

    When does the YC amnesty happen? Bruno getting to 4 bookings before a DGW with a first game against Liverpool is a recipe for a SGW...

          I'm benching Jack and Watkins, lots of doubles to come, Newcastle home could be pretty soon too with both out of FA Cup.

          Martinez just having city away with all the DGW's feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth mind

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'll probably just bench them

    3. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Benching Grealish

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Might bin off Grealish if that's the case. Been looking for an excuse for a while

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Scrap that, just seen their fixtures. I'll bench.

        1. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Glad you came to your senses, Grealish is an excellent pick

    5. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish has been excellent but I binned him last week for ESR to fund Kane.

      He's cheap so can bring back even if lost value.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah he'll prolly drop as well

  17. Jässi
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I would need at least a -12 hit to get a full playing bench, would you do it or just skip BB now and try to plan better for next BB possibility?

    A) Forster, Johnson, Zaha, Brewster -> Johnstone, Ayling, Jorginho, Adams (-12)
    B) Zaha -> Foden for free and save BB for later
    C) Zaha -> Foden for free, save BB for later and use TC on KDB or Salah

    Current squad is:
    McCarthy - Forster*
    Robertson - Stones - Dallas - Balbuena - Johnson*
    KDB - Salah - Fernandes - Soucek - Zaha*
    Vardy - Bamford - Brewster*

    * = need to get rid of

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Skip the BB - minus 12 would negate most of the gain to be had

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      -12 just to bench boost is plain silly. Bringing in Foden is also a bad move

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      BB on average is worth about 16 points a season. Doesn't make sense taking a -12.

      1. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I would think the average doesn't properly reflect an effective bench boost in a DGW, but yeah, -12 just to have (what I assume you mean) 3 double gameweekers is not advisable regardless...

    4. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No point to BB if you need a -12

    5. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ll trade you Johnstone for Forster

    6. Meme2011
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      with COVID on going i'm not sure how you can plan too much better

    7. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in the same boat. Might just do the -12 to use it to get it out of the way, as planning in the lead up to this DGW has already cost me points and I don't want to go through the same experience later in the season.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Get it out of the way? Using BB isn't meant to be a punishment...

  18. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone think Martial will be alright for the Liverpool game this weekend?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He did his hammy, think he's out m8...

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Swap him for Ings

  19. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Given that I have no City cover for the DGW19, getting KDB and Cancelo for a -8 is worth it, isn't it?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      coverage is a myth

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Excuse the poor choice of a word then 😀 Would you still get 2 City players for a -8 on a DGW

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          in place of who?

          1. Stormbringer22
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Grealish + Chilwell + DCL out for KDB + Cancelo + Fodder.

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Chilwell has a DGW himself though. I'd do the the other 2 moves

              1. Stormbringer22
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Not enough dosh for the other 2 moves, that's the issue. May "compromise" and get Sterling instead of KDB for a -4 with the other 2 moves. Or just leave it altogether probably.

                1. Pukki Blinders
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  hmm coin toss that one

                  1. Stormbringer22
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 4 Years
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    Appreciate the input mate. Think I may just say f**k it and not have any City. FPL suicide! 😀

    2. Meme2011
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i make this mistake year on year, i'm refusing to do it this year - is it likley that KDB and Cancelo play both games?

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        KDB probably plays both, Cancelo - not so sure

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB, yes
      Cancelo is explosive but not 100% nailed on

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate

    4. Hiddenpaw
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes do it. You’ll be annoyed if you don’t and they play both.

  20. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    DDG
    Dias Cancelo Coufal Tierney
    Salah De Bruyne Fernandes Soucek
    Lacazette Bamford

    Martinez Wilson Smith-Rowe Yedlin

    -8 Wilson/Yedlin to Dallas/Antonio and Bench boost with triple Arsenal.. Or just TC with no hits..

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      TC with no hits I would say

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Annoyingly on WC I had Antonio/Dallas in and playing 9 this week. so totally messed up, should have stuck with the original plan.. But it was SheffU and the thought of missing out on points.. Hindsight is a funny thing..

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Hindsight is a wonderful thing indeed. Good luck mate, can always be worse! If anything, I think you are set up nicely

          1. Warby84

      BB imo

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No hits imho

  21. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Son + DCL --> KDB + Antonio (-4) a sensible move?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably

    3. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    4. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you have Kane, maybe...

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Don't need any Spurs with Mourinho around

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'm not a Mou fan either and eventually he'll implode but atm can't argue with form and fixtures.

  22. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So this is the DGW that Mane will make it up to his TCers.

    Anyone else joining me?

        • 11 Years

        But.. but.. he outscored Salah in FA cup.. surely he's the one on form!

    4. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years

      Hes form is so poor. I got him two weeks ago and u know how he has done 🙁

        I had my best ever finish last season, but was outside the top 1mil at the half way mark and c.2mil after 10 weeks.

      Kane, Bamford

      Steer, Mitchell, Strujik, Brewster

      1FT, 0.0itb

      Think just TC and save the FT, even if games called off. GTG?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Wouldn't tc KDB as one of their games is Villa. Could be postponed

        1. Yankee Toffee
          • 9 Years

          Wish Salah was on form, I'd TC him

        • AlleRed

          Would you BB Martinez, Bamford, Rodrigo, Dallas if they are all SGW? Trying to consider the likelihood of a better opportunity down the road vs. this remaining the best opp. Cheers all

                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  People probably doing a DCL > Watkins without realising that Villa's DGW is at risk of being a SGW would be my guess

                3. Yankee Toffee
                  • 9 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Bamford is the most transferred in this round so far (76k)!

                  Cheap. Has a double. Playing in a good team. DCL replacement. Wilson blank. Wilson single game week.

                  Well that might be because most people aren’t concerned by the minutia of what’s going on in the football world.

                Original plan was to do Steer+DCL to 2 players with DGW like Mendy&Antonio(is he fit?)
                Now Grealish, Meslier, Bamford might only have 1 game but assume they have 2 games is this good enough BB?

                Meslier Coufal Soucek Brewster?
