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.

    People only got DDG cause they couldn’t afford Fabianski or Schmeichel....

      Fabianski bonus added yet?

      Why do Utd players want so many touches?

    3. Nomar

      They'll score though.

    4. Pompel

      Would love a goalless draw

      They're better than you.

    DDG needs to be 6m next season. Putting him at 5.5 would automatically give him 50 % ownership.

      La liga fantasy?

        I'd be more concerned about Salah leaving 😉

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

          Be a fool to leave the european champions

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

            Great players need to move on to smaller teams to cement their legacy

    2. Revival

      5.5m and 4m bench fodder suits me

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

      Higher than 50%

      People wont buy Ter Stegen at the same price!

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say he should be 6.5, a lot of people will go for him even at 6.0 as United defence cover

    When did Simpson get ruled out? I missed that, though I had a dodgy double gameweeker with Albrighton banned.

    Mark Said at FPL show:

    - "Who would get rid of Alonso at this stage"

    ...

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds reasonable? Not worth a hit to remove if you don't have to, surely?

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

        Mark did..

      No one asking why Brighton taking a throw in backwards to present Rashford with the chance on goal?

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better keeper for shot stopping in my lifetime.

    And I'm old....

    3. Point-one short

      Schmeichel in his pomp was a better keeper.

        He was good and I've seen him live many times but DDG is way better.

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

    Refusing to set up his teammate to go for goal instead.

  21. Rainer

      • 10 Years
