Quo vadis Manu? A team full of "stars" and an eccentric coach who is too stubborn for success at times. This seasons success also depends a lot on if Sanchez can go back to pre Manu form, last season was very mediocre for a player with his skill set. One of the key factors for last years result was De Gea, he was the reason for their many Clean Sheets, not the defense. Unfortunately, he had a bad off season, he made a bunch of easy mistakes in both, friendly and World Cup matches. I am curious about any possible last minute transfers and Pogba's future under Mourinho.

Goalkeeper:

De Gea, 6 Mil.

Best GK last season, for now I am not paying up for him but he has a decent match-up so I can see players going for him.

Defenders:

Only guy I consider for now is:

Eric Bailly. 5.5 Mil

Waiting for how the Defense will line up and if Young can return to a good form after, in my eyes, a horrible world Cup performance.  

Midfielders:

Sanchez, 10.5 Mil.
Yes, he didn't have the best season last year but I expect him to show up this time and lead this team. He has enough talent around him to make it into the top 3 but it will not be easy.

Mata, 6.5 Mil.
If he gets enough playing time, he is a very good pick. His price is way to cheap in my eyes.



Pogba, 8 Mil.

Why do I mention Mata before him? Well, I am not sure about his future at Old Trafford. Yes, the bought Fred and he looks like he is going to play more offense now and yes, he was their best fantasy player last season but Pogba doesn't perform well when he is not happy with his environment. I will monitor the situation before playing him. That being said, I can clearly see people picking 3 Manu guys early on.

Forwards:

Lukaku, 11 Mil.
Yeah, no secret here. He is a star. Not expecting him to start in the first game but after that he will be a regular in my lines. Strong, physical attacker would should see more help by Sanchez this year and therefor more shots.

Rashford, 7 Mil.

Reminds me of Sane at City, can be genius or complete salary waste. His talent is undisputed but he needs more experience and guidance. Possible first game week start if Lukaku does not suit up.
