Fantasy Premier League: 3 players you must buy before Gameweek 2

#2 Marcus Rashford (Manchester United)

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is an excellent option to consider if you are looking for mid-price forwards. Coming in at £8.6m, the 21-year-old can provide that much-needed pace and guile you're looking for from your forwards.

The best thing about him? Well, the Red Devils face Wolves, Crystal Palace, Southampton, Leicester City and West Ham in their next five league games. This favourable run of fixtures will ensure Rashford has ample scoring opportunities and with the 13 points he delivered in gameweek one against Frank Lampard's Chelsea side, there's no reason why you shouldn't.

Romelu Lukaku's Inter Milan move means Rashford is their only out-and-out striker in the first-team ranks, though Anthony Martial is expected to feature more regularly in that position at some stage under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Nonetheless, he'd be a welcome gamble.
