With everyone fit?

I think you interchange Eriksen/Fred based on the opposition but the rest picks itself.

I think Eriksen and Bruno interchange for me. We give up far too much control by shunting Eriksen in the midfield 2

Antony

Based on the player's current performance and "historical" performance data for the club, (i.e.) Martial and Rashford tend to perform better when they play together.

The backing pretty much writes itself.

Our bigger conundrum would be the midfield set up(should Fred get in) and attack (do we stick with Sancho)?

That's more like it, and I think it should be called Best 12 (may be even Best 13) depending on opposition, tactical requirement. It doesn't mean Fred is better than Eriksen or Sancho is better than Rashford, it only meant someone is more suitable for a particular game, even when alternative is available.

I think we've got a clear best option for 7/11. Shaw or Malacia can rotate depending on form/opposition, though Shaw at his best provides more on the ball going forward. The winger opposite to Rashford is between Antony and Sancho. I think Rashford has to be in because he provides the most directness, the most goal threat, true pace in behind which Martial/Antony/Sancho don't do, all 3 of those like ball to feet and coming short so you need the one to run in behind. Martial the easy striker option due to his hold up play, so it's between Antony and Sancho for the wing. And then in CM and CAM positions, could be Eriksen or Fred deep, or Bruno or Eriksen or even Sancho as the CAM.

Shaw, Eriksen, Bruno and Antony for my for those other positions, but depending on opposition I could see the others being better options
