00:00 - Yeah, and obviously the Premier League, you know, fantasy is a huge thing.
00:06 It seems to be growing every year.
00:08 More people are interested, celebrities, and everything sort of comes together for this new season.
00:13 I mean, I've picked my team.
00:16 In terms of your sort of thinking behind United, are there maybe a bit of advice for three players to select and avoid maybe in United terms?
00:26 - Yeah, well, I had a little look, because I think you're right.
00:30 I think a lot of people these days do have a fancy team.
00:32 So I had a little look at a couple of players potentially that might be attractive for FPL players for United.
00:38 So I think the obvious one is Mark Stratford, just in terms of pure number of goals that he scores.
00:42 He is classed in midfielder as well, and at nine million or nine, whatever the price is, he's deemed that.
00:48 It's quite a good price.
00:49 I've got Luke Shaw in there as well.
00:51 Obviously, plays almost every game.
00:53 United do keep a lot of clean sheets.
00:55 I think they're the most clean sheets last season in the Premier League.
00:58 He obviously has full-back, gets forward quite a bit, scored a couple of goals last season.
01:02 So he's rated for a price of 5.5.
01:05 I think he's a good one.
01:07 And then I've got Garnaccio, a bit of a difficult one.
01:09 You know, attackers get rotated a lot.
01:11 I don't think he'll play every game, but going into the season, he almost looks like he's in the strongest 11.
01:15 Garnaccio, certainly cutting in off the left.
01:17 He's only priced at five, five million.
01:20 And yeah, I think he's a really, really good player.
01:21 I think he'll look to push on and develop this season after a good first campaign.
01:26 And then a few players to avoid, potentially.
01:28 I've got Jadon Sancho and Anthony in there, both priced at seven million.
01:33 I just don't, I mean, they just don't score enough goals, really, or provide enough assists.
01:37 So I think that's the main reason.
01:39 I do think Anthony will play most weeks.
01:41 And you know, he will look to push on from last season.
01:45 I mean, Sancho has played centrally a lot in pre-season, so I don't think that's going to work throughout the season.
01:49 And then finally, a third one to pick, potentially, and avoid is Anthony Martial.
01:53 I mean, I'm not even sure he's going to be a Manchester United player by the end of the transfer window,
01:56 but at 6.5, you know, he is a relatively expensive cost and just can't stay fit.
02:02 So, I mean, if you can guarantee he's going to play, he's going to be fit for the majority of the season,
02:06 he actually could be quite a good option.
02:08 But I put him in last year and had to take him out pretty quickly because he just can't stay fit.
02:13 But actually, I do need to know, who have you picked?
02:15 Have you picked any United players on your team?
02:18 I don't know. Obviously, Rashford came alive, didn't he, last…
02:22 Yeah.
02:23 …that sort of period after the World Cup, was one of the best players in Europe, really, wasn't he, in terms of goals and numbers?
02:30 So, I do think he sort of made his way into my team.
02:35 Yeah, currently, so I have got two United players.
02:39 Luke Shaw is mentioned.
02:42 Yeah, I think, yeah, as you say, points, he gets forward, he does the job, and a lot of clean sheets as well.
02:48 I have actually got three.
02:49 I have just noticed I have got Anana as well in goals.
02:51 So, I don't know.
02:53 I just think the clean sheets and the compactness they have, and they have got a decent start to the season in terms of, you know, possibly being able to get clean sheets as well.
03:02 So, I have gone with Anana.
03:03 He is reasonably priced as well.
03:05 And finally, is Bruno Fernandes.
03:07 I think he is one of the FPL's big hitters, isn't he, over the last however many seasons.
03:13 He has just been incredible at just providing from deeper roles as well.
03:17 So, yeah, those are my three United players.
03:20 And obviously, they face my team Wolves first, but I am sure I will look past that if they get me some decent points.
