Stick Or Twist On Fernandes? The Fpl Talking Point

Bruno Fernandes' shape is 1 of nan large talking points among Fantasy Premier League managers.

The midfielder is owned by much than 20% of players but, aft his punishment miss past play and Manchester United's daze nonaccomplishment astatine Grimsby successful midweek, managers whitethorn beryllium reasoning astir transferring him out.

So, if you've sewage Fernandes, should he enactment successful your side?

FPL Heisenberg and nan guys from The FPL Podcast by BBC Sport statement this week's talking point.

Statman Dave: You'd beryllium crazy to waste him. He's still connected penalties, independent of him missing 1 against Fulham, and only Leeds' Anton Stach has created much chances successful nan Premier League. He is still rather captious to United. He takes set-pieces, takes free-kicks, takes corners. He's going to get a batch much points.

I deliberation he's a subordinate you've sewage to support astatine nan moment. I wouldn't waste him. His adjacent 5 fixtures are reasonably good: Burnley astatine home, Man City distant - Bruno has sewage a beautiful decent grounds against City, Chelsea astatine home, Brentford away, Sunderland astatine home.

FPL Heisenberg: Knowing what to do pinch Fernandes is simply a existent tricky dilemma successful FPL correct now. Playing deeper has been bad for his attacking potential, but it has been bully for his protect contributions - if he had scored his punishment against Fulham he would person apt ended up connected 12 points acknowledgment to nan protect publication points and apt prize points too.

I judge Fernandes will beryllium motivated to correct his penalty-miss wrong, and Burnley astatine location could beryllium nan perfect opportunity. Should Fernandes beryllium capable to get guardant much this gameweek, for illustration I expect him to, past that will let him to create large chances for nan likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo arsenic good arsenic getting shots distant from bully positions astatine nan separator of nan box.

Clinton Morrison: I deliberation he'll assistance and he will get you goals. I would instrumentality pinch Bruno Fernandes. With nan penalty, you tin blasted nan referee. I don't cognize why nan referee was stepping astir him. The shot is still going down Fulham Palace Road, it was that precocious complete nan bar.

FPL Heisenberg: For me, location are much reasons to support Bruno Fernandes than sell, but if you're looking to reconsider these mightiness beryllium nan reasons why.

Firstly, location are arguably plentifulness of amended options astatine a cheaper value constituent - nan likes of Mohammed Kudus and Brennan Johnson from Spurs are competent replacements. There are besides nan likes of Cody Gakpo and Antoine Semenyo who person started nan play good too.

Secondly, you mightiness see trading if you want to redistribute nan costs into different position, specified arsenic nan costly guardant Erling Haaland. If you do, past you could see nan likes of Elliot Anderson aliases Tijjani Reijnders who free up plentifulness of money which tin spell towards your Haaland fund.

Lastly, pinch Man United losing to Grimsby successful nan EFL Cup possibly you consciousness for illustration you can't spot their assets - moreover astatine location to Burnley successful gameweek three.
