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.

    Anyone else cringing listening to Arlo White unironically pronouncing Knockaert as "Kunnockart"?

      Yep, annoying me all game

      His name sounds like something I drank BEFORE buying in Rashford for a hit. Had too many Arlo Whites...

        Wish I could blame a drink on making the same error. Sheesh. He's looked completely lost...

      that's how you pronounce it the right way, but people say 'knock-art' as it sounds less strange in English

    Wait people actually played DDG over Ryan after the lineup was leaked?

    Trump turns 80 today?!

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

      If he managed a football club, they'd say he's too old, but the most powerful country in the world, that's fair game

        Brighton fans were holding up 'Happy 80th Mr. President' signs.

    1. Nascimento

    2. Somalion

      Tbh I'd just be happy if they hired a manager who has his team play well.

    Good ball over the top there.

  10. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

    United, Chelsea, Leicester and at a stretch Spurs have been so damn awful since WCing in GW32/33

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years

      Actually was hoping he might get back into the Baps after that yellow card

  16. Gaz_b

    Sold Dunk for Smalling for a hit. On the upside kept Gross and played him over Barnes.

  17. Jimmers

    United only a few minutes away form losing away to all 3 of the promoted sides

    United are actually useless.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I've watched all season and can't figure out what the plan is in attack.

      Closest I've come is thinking all we're supposed to do is cross it into the box, but most of the players can't cross whatsoever. Bold tactic.

    Lingard shot off target

  26. Weasel Boy

    I feel embarrassed for Utd fans. They are truly awful

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A wise man once said "they're just a glorified Stoke!"

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Worst fans in the Premier League by far.

    3. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      not all of them, a few of their fans are ok...

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

      Might do. Winning goal to be added if Brighton hold.

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

      Depends on deductions.

    3. glufs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Doesnt look like it:/ 3 for winning goal, might get 1. Surely some deductions as well though.

  28. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fook off Lingard

  29. GunsnRoses
    • 14 Years
