The Manchester derby is rapidly approaching and that means ditching as many Manchester United assets as possible for FPL managers.

There has already been plenty of transfer activity leading into Gameweek 10 and Red Devils stars Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford are among the players being sold left, right and centre ahead of the weekend.

So who are the best midfield targets? Fantasy Football Hub's powerful AI Points Predictions tool to show their predicted points for FPL Gameweek 10.

Bukayo Saka

  • Fixture: Sheffield United (H); Predicted Points: 6.4

A fit again Bukayo Saka is an automatic selection in most FPL sides given his consistency in recent seasons. He already has eight attacking returns from eight appearances this campaign and has the pedigree to keep up those high standards.

Opponents Sheffield United have conceded a league high 24 goals this season, failing to keep a single clean sheet. Saka has a perfect record at the Emirates this term, with three goals and two assists from four starts.

Arsenal have the pick of the fixtures this week and their long-term schedule looks tempting, too, with upcoming games against West Ham, Newcastle and Burnley.

Son Heung-min

  • Fixture: Crystal Palace (A); Predicted Points: 5.8

Playing out of position as a striker makes Son Heung-min an irresistible fantasy option and it's not too late to jump on him, even with the attractive fixtures coming to an end. Spurs are one of the most attacking sides in the Premier League and currently top the table with Son their talisman.

He's produced eight attacking returns in his last six games, with 21 shots on goal and seven big chances.

Son has the proven class to continue this hot streak as a former Golden Boot winner.

Kaoru Mitoma

  • Fixture: Fulham (H); Predicted Points: 5.5

Brighton assets have been disregarded after a spectacular opening run of results, but it could be time to re-invest with Fulham at home up next. The favourable run continues for the next four gameweeks with Everton, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest all in their schedule.

Mitoma remains their best fantasy investment, having produced three goals and three assists so far this season. He's top among Brighton assets for shots this season, plus he's had seven big chances on goal. Two-thirds of his attacking returns have come at the AMEX Stadium.
