Rashford to Arsenal or Spurs? FPL Impact Analysed

Marcus Rashford, currently a midfielder for Manchester United, is at the centre of a transfer "dilemma" for his club, with North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham reportedly eyeing a move, according to BBC Sport. This potential switch could have significant implications for FPL managers, especially given his historical output and current FPL status.

By the numbers

• Position: MID
• Price: £7m
• Availability: Flagged (status "u", 0% chance of playing next round)
• Expected points next GW: 0.0
• This season: 0 pts, 0 mins, 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 clean sheets, 0 defensive-contribution (DEFCON) pts, PPG 0.0, form 0.0, xGI 0.00, owned by 0.0%
• 2024/25: 95 pts, 1414 mins, 6 goals, 4 assists, 7 clean sheets
• 2023/24: 108 pts, 2264 mins, 7 goals, 3 assists, 7 clean sheets

The FPL verdict

It's crucial to remember this is currently a rumour, as reported by BBC Sport, and far from a done deal. However, if Marcus Rashford were to move, particularly to a club like Arsenal or Tottenham, his FPL prospects could shift considerably. At £7m, he represents a mid-price midfield option, and a change of scenery might unlock his past form.

Should Rashford secure a move to either North London club, his starting likelihood would depend heavily on the manager's system and existing squad depth. Both Arsenal and Spurs play attacking football, which could offer him ample opportunities for goals and assists. His previous seasons show he is capable of delivering over 100 FPL points, although his 2024/25 season saw a dip to 95 points in fewer minutes. With 0 defensive-contribution points recorded historically as a midfielder, his FPL returns would predominantly come from attacking output.

As a player currently owned by 0.0% of FPL managers and flagged with 0.0 expected points next GW, any move would immediately make him a significant differential. If he were to find consistent minutes and form under a new manager, he could quickly become a valuable asset. However, FPL managers should wait for confirmation of any transfer and assess his role and integration into a new team before considering him for their squads.
