While you can choose from a variety of players to build your squad with, you will be handed £100 million. Meaning you can’t just go around picking up the hottest of players. One has to be smart with their cash and make sure you get the star players first before looking at fringe players who may come cheap. If you’re a Manchester United fan, here are three players you must absolutely get in your squad.

The Spanish keeper in Manchester United’s first choice. It is certain he will play every game unless he is injured or suspended. De Gea had a forgettable season last campaign, but with United bolstering their defence and De Gea’s own performance in the pre-season, it is wise to bet on him. With a price of merely 5.5 he is a steal at the back and will add immensely.

Being a goalkeeper, he is bound to play the full 90 minutes more times than not. Which means that he will land you a minimum of 2 points which could easily increase to 7 points per match if United keep a clean sheet and De Gea makes 3 saves. Winning the man of the match would add three more points. In short, playing United’s first choice keeper will give you the option of nailing between 2 to 10 points per game! And that us without including the 5 more possible points for saving a penalty.
