Rashford benched as Fernandes owners hope for return to away-day form

A benching for Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) is the key Fantasy Premier League talking point ahead of Manchester United’s trip to Fulham.

The England international put in a gut-busting shift full of running against Liverpool at Anfield and has now been handed a rest at Craven Cottage.

Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) comes in for Rashford while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has selected Anthony Martial (£8.8m) on the flanks of his attacking midfield so he can deploy Edinson Cavani (£7.8m) up-front.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m) is to shoulder the main Fantasy responsibility as far as Manchester United’s goals are concerned although he is on a perplexing run of form.

Despite favouring away matches at the start of the season, the Portuguese international has blanked in three of his last four road trips.

Meanwhile, Fulham have gone with the usual back-three of Tosin Adarabioyo (£4.5m), Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) and Ola Aina (£4.5m) that has conceded one or fewer goals in each of their last six matches.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.5m) is fit enough only for the bench so Scott Parker has to make do with a front-three of Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m), Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) and Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) in light of Bobby De Cordova-Reid‘s (£5.3m) one-match suspension.

Fulham XI: Areola; Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina; Bryan, Reed, Zambo Anguissa, Tete; Loftus-Cheek, Lookman; Cavaleiro.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Bailly, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, Pogba; Martial, B Fernandes, Greenwood; Cavani.

          Grace from Hickingston, Cornwall. Got a note from the Queen and everything.

        7. Homer21

          Nearly

          3 years, 2 months ago

          I'm on 109 with bench boost, but only 8 points from my bench. 8 point hit as well mind but some players left as well. I assume anyone who has Stones will be in and around there but otherwise it's been a decent week, nothing special.

        9. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yes

      • WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wow rival has Jesus Kane Gundogan Salah Son ESR Lookman Stones Robertson Cresswell McCarthy, I feel sick!

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

          That's an average-ish team. Nothing super special about it. Just Stones that has huge points.

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

            Oh and Gundo! missed him.

          2. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I had the same take

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

            Over 100!

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

          To be fair if he's got Jesus he can't be too much to worry about!

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

            Brought him in for DGW, he's inside top 100k

            Mostly. Something like 13% EO of Man Utd defence.
