Fantasy Premier League: 7 alternatives for Mohamed Salah

#6 Alexis Sanchez - Manchester United (£10.5)

Alexis expected to come good this season

Manchester United are not attracting too much attention in Fantasy football this time around with the exception of David de Gea. A dour pre-season and lack of exciting transfer activity might be the reason. This is evident by the ownership (8.4%) of their star acquisition of the previous winter transfer window.

By comparison players like Jesse Lingard(12.6%), Paul Pogba(14%) and Romelu Lukaku(14.5%) have more ownership currently even though they are yet to come back to United's first team training.

Sanchez priced at £10.5 has been used as a striker in pre-season in the absence of Lukaku. Though expected to return soon, Sanchez might still play as an attacking partner to the Belgian.

This gives an exciting prospect to fantasy managers as the Chilean's greatest return in Fantasy Football has been when he was playing as a striker in the 16-17 season (264 pts) as compared to the underwhelming previous season (152 pts).

There is every chance that Sanchez might explode with goals this season after being much better integrated to the team and having the summer off to rest with Chile not in the World Cup. Sanchez has every reason to be raring to go and become a fantasy hard hitter again this season.
