What's Happening?
Manchester United has signed Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, adding a significant aerial threat to their attacking lineup. Sesko, priced at £7.5m in the Fantasy Premier League, scored 21 goals and provided five assists in 44 appearances for Leipzig last season. His ability to win aerial duels is expected to complement Manchester United's attacking strategy, as he won 70 headed duels in the Bundesliga, surpassing any Manchester United player's record in the Premier League. Despite his prowess, Sesko is expected to be behind Bruno Fernandes in the pecking order for penalty kicks.

Why It's Important?
Sesko's arrival at Manchester United is significant as it bolsters the team's offensive capabilities, particularly in aerial duels. This move could potentially enhance the performance of teammates like Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo, who are known for their crossing abilities. The addition of Sesko is part of Manchester United's strategy to strengthen their squad and improve their chances in the Premier League. His presence could also influence Fantasy Premier League players' decisions, as his aerial skills might lead to more assists and goals, impacting the team's overall performance.
What's Next?
Manchester United faces a challenging start to the season, with matches against Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea in the first five Gameweeks. This tough schedule might affect Sesko's immediate impact on the team. Fantasy Premier League managers might consider waiting to invest in Sesko until Manchester United's fixtures become more favorable. Meanwhile, players like Fernandes remain attractive options for investment due to their consistent performance and the introduction of new metrics in the Fantasy Premier League.
