FPL gameweek three talking point: Should Bruno Fernandes be in your team?

Statman Dave: You’d be crazy to sell him. He’s still on penalties, independent of him missing one against Fulham, and only Leeds’ Anton Stach has created more chances in the Premier League. He is still quite vital to United. He takes set-pieces, takes free-kicks, takes corners. He’s going to get a lot more points.

I think he’s a player you’ve got to keep at the moment. I wouldn’t sell him. His next five fixtures are reasonably good: Burnley at home, Man City away – Bruno has got a pretty decent record against City, Chelsea at home, Brentford away, Sunderland at home.

FPL Heisenberg: Knowing what to do with Fernandes is a real tricky dilemma in FPL right now. Playing deeper has been bad for his attacking potential, but it has been good for his defensive contributions – if he had scored his penalty against Fulham he would have likely ended up on 12 points thanks to the defensive contribution points and likely bonus points too.

I believe Fernandes will be motivated to right his penalty-miss wrong, and Burnley at home could be the ideal opportunity. Should Fernandes be able to get forward more this gameweek, like I expect him to, then that will allow him to create big chances for the likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo as well as getting shots away from good positions at the edge of the box.

Clinton Morrison: I think he’ll assist and he will get you goals. I would stick with Bruno Fernandes. With the penalty, you can blame the referee. I don’t know why the referee was walking around him. The ball is still going down Fulham Palace Road, it was that high over the bar.
