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.

    No. 1 overall will be happy with Ryan's cleanie on his bench boost.

        Yes, he got the shot, but was clearly fauled

        1. Nascimento
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          You can't spell fouled - I'd give up.

      Not after Man City trash Brighton it won't be

  7. 420king

    I have Ryan, Groß, Smalling and Lingard.

    Why the **** did I buy Pogba?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      ...feels good to have kept him for his haul last week only to sell for Sane this week 😎

  8. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    should have bench boosted this week. 14 pts on my bench already.

  9. barracuda

    Will Smalling start next match?

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      why not

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I worry too

    3. STEP rOVERS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No do the transfer

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Surely they need him now

    5. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mavropanos-Jones partnership

    6. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Really hope not. But by the sounds of it Rojo has been terrible and Jones not fit yet?

    Whats that site where we can see the points scored by bench?

    1. GunsnRoses

      fantasy.premierleague.com is one I know

    Typical United really. Beat Arsenal then turn to dross the next week

    Lingard 5 game a season player 😉

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      At the same time, where was he when we needed him? 😉

      1. Prøfeßör …

        Reply fail.

    We do not deserve you Matt Ryan

  14. Jet5605

    It's typical. When Milojevic scores a penalty and does not much else in the game he gets 3 BAPS and when GroB scores a winner from open play he's lucky to scrape 1.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wtf are you on about

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        The BAPS system is fooked. I've seen countless episodes of 3 BAPS awarded just because a player scores the winner often from the penalty spot.

    2. Duffy Dunk

      Gross got 3 bonus when Brighton lost 1-0 vs MUN.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This

    3. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years

      Swings and roundabouts. He got 3 in the reverse fixture.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      ...probably cos Palace defence conceded 2-3 goals in the same game

    5. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yellow card was his bap downfall

  15. Fred54

    First bit of decent skill from Rashford...nearing inury time.

    Conte!

  16. Rainer

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Lingard needs to improve his diving!

  17. Louis Van Gaalstones

    There really has to be some blame on Mourinho, or the coaching system or something. None of these players look like they enjoy playing football anymore

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If only they played for Klopp.

    2. james 101
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      They should get that French guy. He's free from the end of the season. He'll get them all fired up and over-performing.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
