Manchester United closed their summer campaign on Saturday, such as Bruno Fernandes (£ 9.0 million) claimed his fifth attacking return of the preseason.
Nottingham Forest was also in friendly action.
We discuss a remarkable Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points from this below.
Manchester United 1-1 Fiorentina
Bruno Fernandes offered the assist on Saturday for the only goal of United, because his corner made sure that Robin Gosens led the ball to his own net.
Used in a deeper role, Bruno and Casemiro (£ 5.5 million) could not control this competition for the hosts; However, it is important to emphasize that Fernandes 12 has achieved defensive contributions, including nine recovery.

Benjamin Sesko (£ 7.5 million) has since been presented to supporters on the field in Old Trafford, after he had sealed his move from RB Leipzig earlier in the day.
Two of the other summer additions, namely Bryan Mbeumo (£ 8.0 million) and Matheus Cunha (£ 8.0 million), did play.
Neither players look completely fit, but Mbeumo was threatened with a number of poor deliveries in the box and spent the second half in the front.
He also created four chances for his teammates.
As far as Cunha was concerned, he played on the left and almost scored the winner when he arrived at the end of the cross of Fernandes, but his effort was deflected.
‘I think they [Cunha and Mbeumo] Maybe 50/60 percent of what they can do. I think, just like any other team, we will improve during the season, they will get so much better. In some moments I felt that, because of the one-V-one in the entire field, we are struggling without a reference as a striker. We have a new player [Sesko] So we’ll see. ” – Ruben Amorim
Only with Andre Onan (£ 5.0 million) and Joshua Zirkzee (£ 6.0 million) Absent for United-Ze had trained on Monday-de Starting XI hinted on the line-up plans of Ruben Amorim for the opener against Arsenal.
Manchester United XI: Bayindir; Yoro, Maguire (van Ligt 73), Heaven (Shaw 73); Amas, Casemire (Maino 73), Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo (Dalot 73), Cunha; Mount (except 84)
Nottingham Forest 0-0 al-Qadsiah
Nottingham Forest concluded their preparations for the season with another faint result, while they recorded their fifth goalless similar play of the summer.
It means that the side of Nuno Espirito Santo has scored only one goal in seven friendly matches for the season.
Against al-Qadsiah, summer signature Igor Jesus (£ 6.0 million) Partner Chris Wood (£ 7.5 million) at the front and a few efforts were wide.
Replacement Who Silva (£ 4.5 million) and Hooks taiwo snow (£ 5.5 million) were later refused, but Forest could not find the breakthrough again.
On a positive note, Morgan Gibbs-White (£ 7.5 million) should offer some creativity in the No. 10 roll. He missed here because of a family issue.
Five clean sheets in the preseason offer at least some optimism for the opener on Sunday against Brentford.
“We have held a solidity at the back and within the team. Everyone defends well … That is positive. Of course we want to score many more goals, but it is for the season. The real things will start next week. That is when we have to find the back of the net.” – Ola Aina
Neco Williams (£ 5.0 million) Meanwhile well linked to Callum Hudson-Odoi (£ 6.0 million) Along the left flank of the forest and created a few chances for Jesus.
