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.

  11. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'd take 5-6 points from Young this GW but I don't care how he does it. Something tells me he'll need a return tonight. Come on you Fellaini's head!

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

      That last sentence is very disturbing.

      Wait you actually have Young? Is this a draft with 15 others where you had the last pick?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Bought him on WC along with Lingard and DDG. Didn't fancy the expensive United options

    No way Fix Gameweek live is correct right now.

    18k start rank, with a -8 and DDG,Smalling...Predicted rank 36k.... SURELY WRONG

      45k more realistic.

    Interesting watching here as a DDG but not Smalling owner. 115% EO of Untied defense isn't exactly fully accurate as DDG can get save points and BAPs between himself and Smalling will be different.

    Ideal scenario would be Smalling sent off before 60mins and United get CS, or a DDG penalty save. Both highly unlikely.
