Everton Vs Manchester United FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means

The call — Everton 2-2 Man Utd, September 6: George hauls, Fernandes blanks George scored, played 90 minutes and took all three bonus points at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Ten points. He costs £5.5m. Almost nobody owns him — fewer than 1 in 100 managers. That is the haul of the match.

The line most readers came for: Bruno Fernandes blanked. He played 90 minutes, returned two points, and costs £12.0m. About 5 in 10 managers own him. No goal, no assist, no bonus. His team-mates outscored him at half the price — Mainoo took nine points from an assist plus two bonus at £5.5m, owned by roughly 1 in 100.

Mbeumo scored. Eight points at £7.9m, with about 3 in 10 managers on board. Third of his side to return this match. Shaw picked up an assist and a yellow for four points.

The substitutes mattered. Maitland-Niles came on for 13 minutes, scored, and took seven points. He is £4.5m and owned by effectively nobody. Šeško scored in 20 minutes for five points at £7.0m. Hackney assisted in 15 minutes. Thirteen-minute cameos do not build a case for a transfer. Neither man started.

No clean sheet either way. Lammens made four saves for two points at 13 in 100 ownership. Pickford made one save and took a single point; about 1 in 10 own him. Maguire, owned by roughly 1 in 10, took two points and a yellow card.

The calls. Mbeumo returned again — hold him. Fernandes played 90 minutes and remains the attacking hub Man Utd built the price around — one blank does not force a sale. Hold. George is the name to note: £5.5m, ten points, 90 minutes, near-zero ownership. One match is one match. Watch him this week; if he starts again, buy. Maitland-Niles and Šeško did not start. Ignore both until they do.
