In a series of matches on the last weekend before the first Game Week of the season, players that many FPL Managers will be counting on this season to give them points to move up their respective leagues delivered the goods.
In a friendly between Manchester United FC and Everton FC, Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes, the joint highest scoring FPL player from last season, currently found in 42.7% of all FPL teams scored a beautiful free kick, and earned a clean sheet. Bruno F. is definitely a must have for FPL Managers this season, and the player that cost a whooping £12.00 reminded Managers still struggling with the decision why they must have him in their teams.
Man Utd put 4 goals past Lucas Digne’s Everton, conceding none. Lucas Digne is a popular Defender, costing £5.5 and is found in 22.4% of FPL teams. A poor outing it is, but hey, it’s only friendly match. Lucas Digne’s first 6 matches have low FDR ratings, and those Managers that already have him on their teams have little or nothing to worry about. With other options like the Liverpool duo of Arnold and Robertson, Man Utd’s Luke Shaw and Chelsea’s Chilwell, there are plenty of high scoring Defenders to choose from.

Talking of Luke Shaw, he did not only get a clean sheet, but he also provided an assist for fellow defender Harry Maguire as he planted an in swinging corner right on his captain’s head. Luke Shaw cost only £5.50, same as Lucas Digne, and can be found on 50.5% of Teams.
Leicester City’s Kelechi Ihenacho seem to have picked up from where he left over last season, scoring the only goal in their community shield game against Manchester City FC. The Leicester Striker costing £7.50, and found in 12.0% of FPL teams scored the penalty he won in the 89th minute to win Leicester City FC its first community shield.
Are Bruno F., Luke Shaw and Kelechi Ihenacho in your team this season?
While Manchester United start their season at home to Leeds United, Kelechi Ihenacho and Leicester City FC start theirs at home to Wolverhampton wanderers. Both games promises high return to the three players in review.
