Bruno Fernandes: The Second Most In-Form Dream Team Midfielder
Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United continues to make waves in the world of fantasy football, proving to be one of the most in-form midfielders in Dream Team. Despite his occasional acts of petulance, there is no denying the impact he has on the pitch and his ability to produce points for his team.
In the recent match against Liverpool, where Manchester United managed to salvage a point despite being overwhelmed by their opponents, it was Fernandes who changed the game’s complexion. His exquisite long-range strike capitalized on a misplaced pass and gave his team a short-lived surge of momentum. His goal was followed by another glorious strike from Kobbie Mainoo, putting Manchester United ahead temporarily before the pressure from Liverpool mounted.
From a Dream Team perspective, Fernandes added an impressive 11 points to his tally, continuing his remarkable individual form. In fact, he is currently Dream Team’s second-most in-form midfielder, with only Cole Palmer producing more points in his last three outings.
Fernandes’ prosperous form is not a temporary streak but a consistent climb up the rankings since the start of the year. In just 14 appearances, he has amassed 109 points, averaging 10.1 points per Gameweek this calendar year. This surge has propelled him to fifth place in the midfield rankings on 252 points overall.
Looking ahead, Manchester United’s fixtures appear relatively friendly, especially with their exit from European competitions. In Gameweek 31, they will face Bournemouth, followed by Coventry in the FA Cup and Sheffield United in the Premier League in Gameweek 32. Gameweek 33 will bring a home game against Burnley. If Manchester United progress further in the cup, their lack of European fixtures will be less of a concern.
Fernandes’ impact goes beyond just goals and assists. He has registered 45 shots on target, the third-highest among midfielders, and has created 22 big chances, second only to Mohamed Salah. Additionally, he has shown his defensive capabilities with 89 tackles.
Despite criticisms of his attitude and his team’s tactical approach, Fernandes consistently proves himself as one of Dream Team’s top midfielders. His ability to produce points and make a difference on the pitch cannot be underestimated. As the season progresses, it will be exciting to see how Fernandes continues to perform and contribute to Manchester United’s success.
