Impact Fred lost the regular starting role he had in previous seasons following the arrivals of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, but he still appeared in all but three of the club's EPL matches while also featuring regularly in Europe. Fred is not expected to be a starter in 2023-24, given both Casemiro and Eriksen remain under contract, but he should still see plenty of minutes in midfield -- assuming he stays with the club since he's being linked with a summer move away from Old Trafford.

Sets up game-winning goal Fred assisted once to go with zero corners and five chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Fulham.

Impact Fred was active as a central midfielder and found a way to get involved in the two goalscoring sequences. He charged into the box on the play that led to Jadon Sancho's strike, and then he assisted on Bruno Fernandes' goal with a beautiful through ball. Fred primarily operates as a holding midfielder with a license to move forward, and he ends the season with two goals and two assists. However, it's worth noting he only started in 12 of his 35 Premier League appearances.

Impact Fred would not want to miss time, with a goal, two assists and 11 tackles (three won) in his last three matches. However with an important Premier League matchup against Liverpool Sunday, Ten Hag would not want to push the midfielder. Scott McTominay would be the next player up if Fred is not fit enough to play.

Scores winner off bench Fred scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Fred was lively straight from his appearance on the pitch and fully deserved to find the back of the net for his second goal this season. That being said though, until he can warrant himself a more prominent role his upside will remain limited in long-term formats.

Impact This was perhaps Fred's best outing of the year, and it certainly paid off for fantasy purposes. The midfielder froze keeper Hugo Lloris with a neat strike to the bottom left just after half time to open the scoring Wednesday. The goal was assisted by Jadon Sancho and turned out to be the difference-maker for United in a clean sheet victory. Fred played the full 90 with Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay appearing off the bench late in this one.
