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.

    Who will take a penalty for Brighton if that happens?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Murray or gross

    2. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      gross

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Groß is now their designated penalty taker

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

      Gross

    5. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Murray hopefully. De gea pen save

  5. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I fear for uniteds clean sheet

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very unlikely they keep one here unless DDG continues to save their bacon every 5 mins

    2. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      De Gea has a bonus for 3 saves already

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

    Dunk doing a few lines of grass.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Get Bong there

  7. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    UTD fans- would you swap De Gea for Salah?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I bet a lot would swap Mourinho for Klopp

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

        Yeah, I'd rather Pep.

        Everyone talks about how he can only manage teams with money... which is exactly what United are.

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          That’s what kills me with the “special one”. He whines about City spending but net spends are different by about 70 million. That’s not even a crapaku.

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely

    2. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not with jose as our manager....he would stifle salah so better off with DDG

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

      No because Mourinho would have Salah back at the halfway line helping out Valencia defensively

  8. WVA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Miricle if Brighton don't score

    Ddg owner

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nailed on cleanie

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mourinho looks furious. Expect some early subs. This midfield looks ultra slow.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I dunno why hes furious. They play like this every game and he picks the team/tells them what to do

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Even by United standard this is terrible imo

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

      Get. Lingard. On.

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Fellani and Matic is midfield is pretty dire.

      Matic is very good defensive mid but almost no creativity in midfield.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No pace whatsoever

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

      Tbf nobody forced him to start Fellaini

    5. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m sure he has somebody or something else to blame. Maybe the colour of his pants.

      After all, these are his players, his tactics, his selection. No way its down to him.

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

    How long until Lingodinho goal?

  11. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A huge blow for Man Utd as their most dangerous attacker, Lewis Dunk, picks up a knock.

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      😆

  12. the axolotl
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    dunk feeling his groin. Gross

  13. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Get Gashford off and bring on Lingard. Tony up front

  14. Alex_thekid
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Great start to the dgw 37 Lingard on the bench lol double utd defence and that's not looking good lol

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lingard on at HT I think

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For Rashford hopefully

  16. *Reformed-Character*
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba on most baps - hahahahhahha

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

    Didn't get the ball, ran into Rashford...

    Standard referee decision 😆

  18. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    United are shocking going forward

  19. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Surely Martial should be running a lot more at Bruno a 37 year old full back

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

    Are these matches boring or have City etc set the bar high and skewing our expectations of the rest?

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      United games are boring

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

        And every single one is televised

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah because as much as I hate them, the viewing figures they pull in are undeniable. Even post Ferguson. It’s infuriating. So many sychophants.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No this is just appalling

    3. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Even most Utd fans I know think they are boring.

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bit of both.

      Very different styles of play.

    5. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve just turned it off. Now watching snooker. That says it all.

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

      These are boring (I've seen worse from United this season though)

    7. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Utd are boring

    8. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely nothing to do with city, United playing like this is not new

    9. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jose games are boring. Just interested in results even if it bores fans to death. Jose can’t innovate beautiful attacking football like pep or Klopp. Never been a player

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He’s an enemy of football. Never forget. But with Wenger going, perhaps the dinosaurs of football are finally becoming extinct.

    10. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mourinho has been perfecting this for years. He’ll just tell you thst you don’t understand football if you say it’s boring and reel off a lists of “facts” to prove otherwise.

  21. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mustafi in scout picks?
    I have him and would be surprised if he plays twice

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think he will with Kos done for the season.

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I will be ultra surprised if he gets more than 4 points

  22. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So is this game a bit pointless for the majority of us? Everyone I know seems to have DeGea and little else apart from a splattering of Smallings!

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone who owns any of Jones, Valencia, Sanchez, Bailly, Lingard or Lukaku is missing out do

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have a Gross, Duffy and Ryan itching to get off of my bench!

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      My main challenger in a money league has 3 MNU defensive players so even though I have DDG, would love to see the Seagulls score. And JLinz come on for a brace...

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly this, I'm up against a couple of Smallings (also have DeGea) so would happily see my DeGea cs go

    4. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm playing gross for shits and giggles

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

    Another Pogba special.

    Brighton's best player tonight!

  24. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pogbad

  25. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mata is brutal

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      meaning???

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He's shat

  26. DON BE ZILLY
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did José activate his bench boost?

  27. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton deserve to win this game ... but it won't happen

  28. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Will lingard get in??

  29. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any Valencia, Sanchez owners around ?

  30. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This UTD team is 2nd in the league. Makes no sense.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably best team defensively in the league.

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

      Not quite this team though.
