Impact Fernandes did it all in the loss Saturday, but it was not enough. The midfielder was just shy of tying his season-high created chances (10) and he took all three corners. He also benefited from a rocket of a goal from teammate Mason Greenwood to pick up yet another assist. With more attacking options and Fernandes back on set-pieces, he should start seeing his value spike up once again.

Extends point streak to two games Fernandes assisted once, created two chances, sent nine crosses (two accurate), took six corners and made two tackles (none won) in the 1-1 draw with Everton on Saturday.
Impact Fernandes was by far the best offensive weapon that Manchester had in their draw. The midfielder not only created chance after chance, but he also got a share of the set-pieces back. If he can continue to hold down a part of the set-pieces, his value will continue to rise once again.

Impact Fernandes was by far the best player for the Red Devils in the tough loss Saturday. The midfielder had seen a drastic drop in value after he was removed from set-pieces, however, he was all over the place here. After teammate Luke Shaw went down with an injury, Fernandes took over set-pieces once again. The craziest part of his performance was a season-high 10 created chances. Although Manchester did lose the match and Fernandes did mess up a few prime opportunities, if he can continue this type of playmaking, Manchester should start scoring in bunches quickly.

Impact Fernandes has struggled to provide value since his removal from set-pieces. The midfielder now only generates value from his own chances taken and created chances. However, with some of the pressure possibly taken off him with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, he should get more freedom to move up the pitch now. As long as he continues to be involved in the attack, he is always worth the consideration at the least.
