Episode notes
Man United's Revival Under Carrick
- Michael Carrick's first game looked like Man United's best performance in years and may signal an uplift in form.
- Bruno Fernandes and M'Boma emerged as primary FPL midfield targets if Carrick persists with the same setup.
City Attack Is Hard To Trust
- Manchester City's attack is crowded and uncertain, making their premium midfielders risky FPL assets right now.
- Bruno Fernandes offers more consistent attacking threat and could be prioritised over some City options.
Buy Enzo For Gameweek 24 Run
- Consider buying Enzo Fernández ahead of Gameweek 24 because Chelsea's fixture run is excellent from that week.
- Avoid paying for Palmer now because his form and fitness look uncertain compared with Enzo.
