Anthony Martial (£7.7m) is striking fear into Premier League defenders and Fantasy Premier League managers alike ahead of Gameweek 3.

The Manchester United man is a midfielder in Fantasy and has scored in his first two appearances of the season.

Martial is being backed to hurt managers who do not have him in their teams for Saturday's home match against a Crystal Palace side weakened in defence and yet to score this season.

"He's the one player I wish I owned going into Gameweek 3 that I don't," said Fantasy expert Mark McGettigan in the latest episode of the FPL Show.

"Palace are still without their two first-choice centre-backs so I fully expect Martial to get on the scoresheet again."

McGettigan and fellow expert Simon March said Martial should even be viewed as a differential captain.

"He's the player I really fear not having at the moment and possibly I'll use one of my transfers on him," March, the 2014/15 FPL champion, said.
