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.

        I could be a world class keeper then.

      DDG owner and I sold Murray and I almost had a mini-panic attack as I was full sure that was going in

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

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fabianski bonus added yet?

      Hopefully united keep playing like this. Lingard on around the 60th min then.

        Painful football wins you..domestic trophies!

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Why do Utd players want so many touches?

        They'll score though.

      4. Pompel
        • 11 Years

        Would love a goalless draw

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

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years

        La liga fantasy?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I'd be more concerned about Salah leaving 😉

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Be a fool to leave the european champions

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

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

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        5.5m and 4m bench fodder suits me

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Higher than 50%

        People wont buy Ter Stegen at the same price!

      4. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months 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"

      ...

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

        1. Mackans
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months 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....

          Yeah that was good.

      3. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Schmeichel in his pomp was a better keeper.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years

    20. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

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

      That is Marcus Rashford all over.

    22. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Rashford overthinking

      Jose irate, could be off early.

      1. Shultan
        • 9 Years

    26. Royal5
