Bruno Fernandes has emerged as the top performer for Manchester United this season. Priced at £9.2 million, he has five goals and nine assists, totaling 14 attacking returns. This performance is unmatched by any teammate, including Bryan Mbeumo, who has seven goals and one assist.
Key Players and Their Contributions
- Bruno Fernandes: 14 attacking returns; invaluable in midfield.
- Casemiro (£5.5m): Overlooked by many; four goals, three assists, and significant defensive contributions.
- Diogo Dalot (£4.5m): Career-high six attacking returns; reliable defensive and offensive asset.
- Patrick Dorgu (£4.3m): Showed promise with high-scoring weeks; potential for continued contribution.
Assessing Manchester United’s Attack Potential
Fernandes leads in big chances created with 25 total, which shows his central role in the team’s attack. He had 10 big chances and created 15 for his teammates. Mbeumo follows closely, indicating a strong partnership developing.
Strategic Recommendations for Gameweek 24
Investing in Manchester United players for Gameweek 24 is strategically advantageous. Fernandes should be a priority, and Mbeumo may be worth considering if he maintains his forward position. Defensive options like Dalot and possibly Maguire also present good value.
As Manchester United’s schedule improves, FPL managers should reassess their teams, especially in light of the tougher runs faced by Newcastle and Leeds United. This shift could open up opportunities for significant points gains in the upcoming weeks.
