What position Fred plays?

Watching him second time this season and all I can see is fouls on his own half, close to danger area.

Was expecting him to be more of attacking player.

He's a DM. Himself and Periera. Allows Pogba to get further forward. Lovely passer of the ball but won't be much of a Fantasy asset.

More likely to assist the assists.

For some reason I thought he was likely to go forward more...

Not an asset at all from what I can see.

Even his career stats show it. Good for cards and fouls, though

5.6% ownership... Higher that I thought.

I'd you have a Utd defender I suggest you get rid.
This is an abomination

He's overpriced at 7m. United are making him look like a 10m player

Dont see united making top 4 this year, plus with all the rotation risks nobodies a compelling signing bar perhaps DDG

That is why I am surprised.

Higher than I thought. Fecking autocorrect

I think a lot of new players look at total points from last season as a guide when picking their team. Not saying it's a bad strategy but he won't be in my team anytime soon at 7m unless he keeps banging goals in.

Start Hamer ahead of DDG next gw?

He was incredibly close to saving that pen. I'd wait on team news to see which CB pair will play.

Can't fault De Gea for the horror show immediately in front of him

IMO if you're forking out on a premium goalie, you play him every week

Remember gross won't be playing United every week.

Lukaku still on 3 bonus points.

They probably awarded him winning goal points in error

Joking aside until they all settle in, I won't touch any of them except maybe DeGea and Lukaku. And only when they all settle in tbh.

You can't judge a team by one game, but that is the second one I watch and it does not look good. With Sanchez out, no matter how bad at times he was last week, I can't see them scoring for fun like City and Liverpool do.

Exactly why I'm saying there are currently better options. Solly March has looked very good also

Lingard and Rashford on, Mata and Pereira off.

Mata was a no brainer anyway. Doesn't give any protection to the RB. Can't see him play against Spurs if anybody has him in their teams.

wonski

Bailly almost gave the ball away again that would lead to 1 on 1 after Pogba pass across the penalty area.

Pogba could do with not doing all those fancy looking passes tbh.

wonski

Fellaini getting ready

In for Martial under 60 minutes played.

Porthallian

Martial off. Fellaini on

All 3 subs used

km79

United playing wing backs now
Shaw pushing well on

km79

Brighton camped in their own half now but defending comfortably

wonski

Ryan great save from Pogba long range shot.
