The Scout assesses player prices in 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League and their implications.
Man Utd
Manchester United stars Cristian Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes have both dropped £2.0m in price for the start of the season.
Ronaldo is the Red Devils' most expensive player coming in at £10.5m, which is £1.0m less than Manchester City’s new forward Erling Haaland.
The Portuguese was his side’s top-scoring player in 2021/22 Fantasy, amassing 159 points.
Ronaldo enjoyed a prolific end to the previous campaign, scoring nine of his 18 goals for the season in his final seven appearances.

Fernandes, meanwhile, costs £10.0m after a disappointing campaign.
The playmaker was the top-scoring player in 2020/21 Fantasy on 244 points but failed to live up to his £12.0m price tag last term.
He managed just 151 points, a total bettered by 23 other players.
Man Utd player prices

| David De Gea | GKP | £5.0m |
|---|---|---|
| Luke Shaw | DEF | £5.0m |
| Alex Telles | DEF | £5.0m |
| Raphael Varane | DEF | £5.0m |

| Marcus Rashford | MID | £6.5m |
| Jadon Sancho | MID | £7.5m |

| Cristiano Ronaldo | FWD | £10.5m |
Winger Jadon Sancho (£7.5m) has also dropped £2.0m in price this season and could emerge as the value target in Man Utd's attack under Erik ten Hag.
However, a mixed opening schedule is likely to temper early interest in the Red Devils.
They face three of last season’s top eight in the opening six Gameweeks.
