FPL gameweek eight tips: Justin Kuivert, Bruno Fernandes and Nick Woltemade make the team

By Total Football News

Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth, £8.1m – Nottingham Forest (h)

Like Arsenal defence and Erling Haaland, Semenyo is essential at the moment.

For some reason he wasn’t given a second assist at Crystal Palace last week, which would probably have given him some bonus points too.

This match-up against Forest, a team in turmoil who have conceded 15 times in eight games, is not one where you’d want to go against Semenyo.

Brentford 3-1 Man Utd: Bruno Fernandes misses penalty in United defeat

By Total Football News

For the second time this season Fernandes failed to convert a penalty that might have given United additional reward.

Whereas he ballooned his effort over the crossbar at Fulham, this time his aim was true. But Kelleher read it and Brentford cleared.

There are complaints over whether Collins should have been sent off for his grab at Mbeumo – the Premier League backed up referee Craig Pawson as it felt

On Friday, Amorim outlined his plan to drop Fernandes deeper this season rather than push him into one of the two number 10 roles crucial to his system.

Maybe we should learn not to pay too much attention to the head coach, who picked Fernandes as the right-sided number 10 alongside Cunha, as £65m new arrival Bryan Mbeumo is not deemed fit enough to be involved just yet.

It meant

Amorim was adamant in Hong Kong that United could work around Fernandes staying at Old Trafford from a financial point of view.

However, the situation is not straightforward.

With no European football of any sort next season, finances will be tight. Amorim has already said he can operate with a smaller squad given there are fewer matches, so sales are inevitable.

Broadly speaking, there are three categories.

Players Amorim just

The issue has been the topic of conversation on United’s current tour

Bruno Fernandes: How important is midfielder to Manchester United as Ruben Amorim asks for ‘more’ like him

Fernandes is now United’s top Premier League goalscorer this season with seven. His 12 in all competitions also puts him at the head of United’s scoring charts.

But it doesn’t end there.

In a United side that is 14th in the table, Fernandes has 14 goal involvements in the league. Unsurprisingly, that is more than anyone else.

But only Amad has more than Marcus Rashford’s five, which underlines how important

Manchester United staged a late comeback before being saved by VAR in a dramatic draw at Everton after looking set to plunge deeper into crisis at Goodison Park.

Everton’s resurgence under their returning manager David Moyes – formerly of United – looked set to continue as they exerted total domination in the first 45 minutes to establish a deserved two-goal lead.

They exposed every United flaw in that opening half,

Bruno Fernandes (captain), Manchester United, £8.3m – home to Southampton

Fernandes has four goals and seven assists this season (along with two red cards) and he is chugging along as the 10th best midfielder this season.

Seasoned FPL players know the Portuguese has many avenues to points – his xGI is always high and he’s on penalties.

Look at what he did against strugglers Leicester and Everton at home –

A combination of the number of players leaving for international duty this week, and some of those not called up being given time off, means that it will be largely those who are injured that Amorim first gets to see when he reports for duty at United’s Carrington training complex.

It means the fact United need a couple of days to secure his work visa is not too much of
