FPL Gameweek 3 – head-to-head comparisons: Marcus Rashford vs Roberto Firmino

It has been a bright start to the season for Man Utd forward Marcus Rashford (£8.6m) as he has already tallied two goals and assist helping him to 19 points so far. He offers great value in the mid-range-priced forward bunch and is arguably more appealing than the likes of Roberto Firmino (£9.5m), Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.5m). Firmino is one that constantly goes under the radar largely due to Mane and Salah’s exploits, but he has picked up a goal and assist himself. The Brazilian has a good record against Arsenal making him tempting for Gameweek 3, but Rashford gets the edge in value and fixture as United face Crystal Palace.

Verdict: Marcus Rashford
