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.

    Just realized I have to work 5 years to earn what Pogba makes in a week.
    What a time to be alive.

      so ungrateful

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You're earning well then

    3. The Neville Wears Prada

      get flair hair cut and dab more

      You're probably much better at your job than Pogba is though 🙂

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I sure hope so 😉
        Otherwise I should get fired tbf.

      At least you're not getting humiliated by Brighton & Hove Albion.

    6. Nascimento

      If you can earn 380k in 5 years you're doing far better than me.

      1. + 42.

      2. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        read somewhere he is on £290.000?

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          You earn 58 quid a year?

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Ye sounds about right.

      3. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Was it initially meant as a humble brag?

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Not at all.
          £290.000 is about what a teacher makes in Denmark in 5 years.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I have no idea what Pogba make tbh

            1. Salarrivederci
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              If it is 380 like Poseidon wrote, then I am far off. But 290 is about right give or take.

          2. Brehmeren
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Haha, no it isn't. Not even close.

      4. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        More than an MP

      5. Brehmeren

        8 years, 1 month ago

        Pogba is on 260k a week. Supposedly.

      I'm hopeful for lots of saves against West Ham, yet conceding a couple Arnie goals.

  21. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
