The biggest Gameweek of the season kicks off on a barmy Friday night on the south coast as Brighton host second-placed Manchester United.

Fantasy managers will be focused on the away side, despite the absence of their most popular asset, striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian misses out through injury as Jose Mourinho hands starting roles to Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial in his front three. Juan Mata also comes into a much-changed line-up as Alexis Sanchez is omitted from the squad.

Significantly, Paul Pogba is named on the teamsheet once again. United’s form player, the Frenchman has three goals and an assist from his last four starts and goes into tonight’s match as the fourth most signed play having been snapped up by 140,000+ managers ahead of the deadline.

Elsewhere for United, Chris Smalling could be a key figure against a Brighton defence that has proved vulnerable at set-plays. The Seagulls have conceded 20 goals, including 14 from corners – more than any other side. Smalling has three goals in his last seven starts and top scored in the previous Double Gameweek with 15 points.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    All that pi$$inf around I spent to get Smalling in my team. At least I don’t have DDG.

    Gross in my first team looked so bad a few hours ago

    Gross only 12% EO in the Top 10k. His goal isn't a killer. But that Man Utd CS being ruined is beautiful when the EO is 119% (principally DDG and Smalling together making up 112% of that 119%)

    United are just a forest of tall, sad, barely alive trees.

    mmm.. didnt look fully over on the cameras, computer graphic will always give it if its been awarded. Maybe a first goalline technology fail?

      Looked fully over to me on the photo. The post does get in the way of part of the goal line....

    Zero collective press from united. Joke of a team.

    Can this not be another week where Ryan gets a massive haul on my bench...

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This.

      Add Duffy and Gross to that for me. I honestly expected nothing from games vs United and City...

    Hope united come 5th next season.

    1. The Neville Wears Prada

      5th is looking a little high

  18. Punty McPuntface

    If Gross is not a silly price next year, he is straight in my GW1 team (pending fixture list...)

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      he's had a great season.

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think he will be 6.5 or 7

  21. Desperately Seeking Dusan

    Last week I had Ryan with a 10 and Dunk with a CS, this week Pascal steps up with a goal whilst resting on my bench with little chance of being an autosub...

  22. TheCurseOfRaheem

    Anyone else sell Gross this week? Bloody did it 7 mins before deadline too. Serves me right.

  23. Ask Yourself

    Izquierdo would be a good squad signing for Spurs IMO. Can come off the bench and make an impact.
