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.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      The ownership that's effective

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        that's a no from you then 🙂

    2. Point-one short

      Ownership + captain percentage×ownership +tc percentagexownership. If above 100% you get red arrow if you didn't captain but own....

      Think Lingard is fairly certain to be on the plane.

      Something that hasn't been mentioned here much is that the end of the season is prime time for managers to give fringe players a run - whether to keep them happy, remind potential buyers of their fitness/availability, or start building for next season.
