FPL Breakouts: Jadon Sancho

Sancho #Sancho

The Scout pinpoints players who could be set to deliver their most successful ever campaign in Fantasy Premier League this season.

Jadon Sancho (MUN) £7.5m

The appointment of Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager can help the winger rediscover his best form.

Sancho was a huge success for Borussia Dortmund prior to joining the Red Devils last summer.

He scored 37 goals and supplied 41 assists in his three seasons as a regular in the Bundesliga.

But he failed to replicate that output in 2021/22 Fantasy.

Limited to just 20 starts, he managed only three goals, four assists and 91 points. 

The 22-year-old has dropped significantly in cost in Fantasy this season, down £2.0m from his starting price of £9.5m in 2021/22.

That suggests he could offer strong value under Ten Hag, whose high-pressing tactics are more suited to Sancho’s style of play.

Man Utd’s kind short-term schedule gives managers the chance to reassess their assets for 2022/23.

According to the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR), three of their first four matches score only two. 

Sancho has the all-round potential to take advantage of that run and emerge as a key player for the Red Devils this season.
