"Although he's playing slightly deeper at times, Fernandes remains United's heartbeat - a guaranteed 90-minute man and penalty taker for a team ranked third for goals this season. He's producing 0.46 xGI/90 and an impressive 0.67 actual goal involvement per 90, despite missing two spot-kicks. Add in his elite DEFCON rate of 10.61 per 90, and the upside is massive."
"He's not yet a 90 minute player, but every time he steps on the pitch, he carries threat - boasting a strong 0.68 goal involvement per 90. If he starts alongside Alexander Isak, his price could quickly rise as managers jump on the value. This is a short-term punt with explosive upside - ideal for managers chasing ranks or playing aggressively in December."
Gameweek 16 brings rotation risk and explosive potential as the festive fixture congestion approaches. Managers should prioritise players who deliver consistent minutes and high ceilings across December. Bruno Fernandes offers guaranteed starts, penalty responsibility, strong underlying numbers (0.46 xGI/90, 0.67 actual goal involvement/90) and a high DEFCON rate, making him a high-upside midfield anchor. Hugo Ekitike represents a differential punt with 0.68 goal involvement per 90 and increased opportunity while Cody Gakpo is sidelined and Mohamed Salah faces availability concerns. Raul Jiménez provides start security and penalty duties, improving his FPL relevance during busy weeks.
