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.

    Pogba is the most expensive midfielder in football history.

    Ffs 😀

      Pogba is the most expensive *flop in football history.

    Anyone else completely miss the Friday night deadline and get left with 3 Leicester and only 1 City player?

    Absolutely disaster - might stop me finishing top of my country league!! Currently 9 points behind in 2nd.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Late moves are too risky.

      1. Pooodle
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Didn’t even think it was going to be late.

        Oh well, at least I remembered to click triple captain!

    2. Eddie

      Look on the bright side, no hits and 2 FT for next week could be golden at this rate. Who knows, Leicester might pull something out the bag. Maybe.

      1. Pooodle

        Cheers mate - thanks!

    Jammy rival who does virtually no planning about to get BB cleanie from Ryan.

    He even switched Ryan from sub to starting as if he predicted this result.

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

      Well he must have if he did that

      A lot of FPL is luck.

    3. Eddie

      That is called benchwankery.

  8. Rainer

    McTominay one of the players that Jose is giving game time ahead of the World Cup?

    Will Southgate call him up?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say Southgate is watching pogba

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He declared for Scotland iirc

    3. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Declared for Scotland. Was never even getting into England tbf but well done McTominay for recognising that. I resent that's he's getting gametime for us.

    4. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He's a bit-part player at a top 4 club, which is usually the main criteria for England selection.

    Lukaku's and Sanchez's reputation going up by not playing in this game

    Brighton safe now means City could run riot as they head to the beach

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Brighton safe means that city will probably rotate even more

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      More likely they will start Foden and Nmecha

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      City pretty safe as well.

    4. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      And Liverpool on final day.

    Nice ball from Mata, wasted by Martial.

  28. Feloh
    • 9 Years

    HOLDDDDDDD!!!!! DUNK

  29. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Doucoure has genuinely been better than Pogba this season.... and he plays for flopford

  30. Royal5

    Dunk sitting last on my bench.
