The January transfer window has come and gone, and Manchester United’s two new recruits, Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven, have now been assigned their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) valuations. For the millions of FPL managers around the world, these valuations are crucial as they strategise their squads for the remainder of the season. Let’s take a closer look at how United’s latest additions fit into the FPL landscape, as well as the Red Devils’ top performers in the popular game.
Patrick Dorgu: A Bargain at £4.5 Million
Patrick Dorgu, the Danish wing-back signed from Lecce, has been priced at £4.5 million in FPL. This valuation places him in the budget defender category, making him an attractive option for managers looking to strengthen their backline without breaking the bank. Dorgu’s attacking potential, combined with his ability to adapt quickly to English football, could see him become a popular pick in the coming weeks.
Dorgu’s price tag is the same as fellow United youngster Toby Collyer and slightly higher than Tyrell Malacia, who was valued at £4.4 million before his loan move to PSV Eindhoven. If Dorgu can replicate the form he showed in Serie A, he could prove to be a steal for FPL managers seeking a differential option.
Ayden Heaven: A Promising Prospect at £4 Million
Ayden Heaven, the 18-year-old centre-back signed from Arsenal, has been given an FPL valuation of £4 million. While Heaven arrives with less senior experience compared to Dorgu, his inclusion in the game reflects the excitement surrounding his potential. Priced at the same level as Harry Amass and Gabriel Kukonki, Heaven is a low-risk option for managers willing to take a punt on a young talent.
Heaven’s valuation makes him an intriguing prospect for FPL managers, particularly those who focus on building a balanced squad with room for growth. As he gains more first-team experience, his value could rise, making him a smart long-term investment.
Marcus Rashford: A Midfielder in FPL
Despite his loan move to Aston Villa, Marcus Rashford remains a part of the FPL game, valued at £6.6 million. Interestingly, Rashford is still classified as a midfielder in FPL, rather than a forward, which could influence how managers utilise him in their squads. His price tag reflects his potential to deliver points, but his current form and limited playing time at Villa may deter some managers from selecting him.
Amad Diallo: United’s FPL Star
Amad Diallo has been a revelation for Manchester United this season, and his performances have not gone unnoticed by FPL managers. The Ivorian winger is currently the most-selected United player in the game and is also the top-scoring Red Devil in FPL. His superb form has earned him a nomination for the PFA Premier League Fans’ Player of the Month award for January, a testament to his impact on the pitch.
Amad’s ability to contribute goals and assists has made him a must-have for many FPL squads. His nomination for the PFA award further cements his status as one of United’s standout performers this season. Fans can show their support by voting for him here.
