I thought, but may be corrected, that while clean and on managed speed the A/C would not fly below green dot. This means that the magenta bug may be a few knots below green dot but the aircraft would still fly green dot hence there is no need to fly selected speed.
That is correct. The a/c will fly the PFD speeds rather than the FMGS speeds (whichever higher)
