PERFECT TIMING

Bruno Fernandes becomes Dream Team’s most in-form player ahead of Ruben Amorim’s arrival

Manchester United's captain has plundered 37 points in his last three outings

ALL of a sudden Bruno Fernandes (£5.9m) is Dream Team's most in-form player.

Manchester United's captain scored a penalty in his side's 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday as part of an impressive 14-point haul.

The Portugal international also created two big chances, made four tackles, and earned a bonus point at Old Trafford to continue his sharp upturn in form.

Fernandes notched 23 points in Gameweek 9 at the expense of West Ham and Leicester, with the latter taking the brunt of the damage.

A unmatched spree of 37 points across his last three outings has propelled the 30-year-old up the rankings - he's now joint-ninth among midfielders.

Goal involvements largely escaped Fernandes across the first seven Gameweeks of the season but three goals and an assist in his last four appearances have balanced the scales.

Experienced Dream Team bosses will know that he always tends to end up among the top performers in his position and so this surge of form should not be overlooked.

Three goals represents a modest return at this stage but Fernandes is a viable selection because he offers multiple avenues to points.

Only six midfielders have registered more assists but it could be argued that the Red Devils' talisman deserves a higher rank in the metric as only Bukayo Saka (£6.7m) and Cole Palmer (£6.3m) have created more big chances for their team-mates.

Fernandes has also made 29 tackles in all competitions, an impressive tally for a predominantly attack-minded player.

Gameweek 10 isn't done yet as Man United will host PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night with the English giants seeking their first win in the competition this campaign.

Gameweek 11 then brings a home game against Leicester, which should favour Fernandes and company given they beat the Foxes 5-2 in the Carabao Cup just a few days ago.

However, Fernandes did thrive in the world of Dream Team despite the malaise that dogged the Red Devils for the majority of last season.
