Brandon Williams (£4.0m) makes his first Premier League start of the season as Manchester United host Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

The left-back has enjoyed game-time in the Europa League thus far but has been limited to two substitute appearances in the top-flight.

Circumstances have conspired to help him into the team for the visit of Brighton with Luke Shaw (£5.4m) still out injured and Ashley Young (£5.4m) serving a one-match suspension.

All eyes will be on Williams in this encounter as the prospect of a £4.0m option starting regularly in the Manchester United defence is hugely exciting.

The Red Devils have further appealing fixtures on the horizon including so such a budget asset could be very helpful.

However, he will still have to keep Young out of the team for Gameweek 13, when he returns from suspension so there’s a long way to go yet.

Elsewhere in the Red Devils’ team, Harry Maguire (£5.4m) and Victor Lindelöf (£5.4m) have shaken off their yellow flags to both start at centre-back.

Anthony Martial (£7.7m) leads the Manchester United attack, with Marcus Rashford (£8.5m) and Daniel James (£6.2m) either side of him.

Graham Potter continues to prove how much he enjoys rotating his players as Pascal Groß (£6.4m), one of Brighton’s best performers of late, is left on the bench.

Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) comes in for his first start since Gameweek 4, while Steven Alzate (£4.5m) provides the width on the other side of the Seagulls 4-4-2.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m) and Aaron Connolly (£4.7m) retain their starting berths up-front.

Wolves have lined up in a 3-4-3 formation for their derby with Aston Villa.

That sees Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Adama Traoré (£5.1m) flanking Raúl Jiménez (£7.3m).

Short of defensive personnel, Nuno Espirito Santo has selected Romain Saïss (£4.4m), Conor Coady (£5.0m) and Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m) at centre-back.

Meanwhile, owners of Wolves attacking assets may be happy to see that Villa come to Molineux short of some key personnel, especially in defence.

The Birmingham Mail reported this afternoon that Tom Heaton (£4.5m) and Bjorn Engels (£4.5m) both sustained injuries this week.

That sees Ezri Konsa (£4.3m) come in for his first start of the season at centre-back while Jed Steer (£4.4m), first-choice during Villa’s promotion run, fills in between the sticks.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Williams, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; James, A Pereira, Rashford; Martial.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Burn, S Duffy, Dunk, Montoya; Alzate, Propper, D Stephens, Trossard; Maupay, Connolly.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; D Jota, Jiménez, Traoré.

Aston Villa XI: Steer; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Guilbert; McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Nakamba; Trézéguet, Wesley, El Ghazi.

    Adama Traore is an absolute tank

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      looks more like an NFL player than a premier league player

  2. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Jiménez has been terrible but jumps straight to 3 bonus. Ridiculous

  3. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Rp

    Aubameyang, Cantwell and Hanley to Jiminez, Martial and Lundstram-8?

    1. JohnBlack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lol for -8?!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Should already have these players

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I know mate , but still going steady and don't mind spending the points , defo upgrades ain't they.

    3. Zimo

      Auba has Norwich soon soooo think about it

  4. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

    Average going to be enormous this week then

  5. FIRMINOLOOKGOAL
    • 12 Years

    Jiiiimmmmmmyyyyyyy booyyyy!

  6. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Currently on wildcard and have to leave one of those behind. Who should it be?

    TAA
    Robbo
    Pulisic
    Maddison
    Martial
    Jimenez

    1. AndyCook
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Robertson until they keep lots of clean sheets

    2. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Such a hard decision - every one of them is worth owning. I’d probably leave out Jiménez, just because I think 3-5-2 is the optimal formation at the moment.

    3. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Leave out Robbo, TAA is enough

      1. Am sorry to say again it�…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Or Martial, he'll get you consistent points but you just know he's gonna get an injury

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Martial joins Maddison, Pulisic, Tielemans, Mount, Perez etc in cementing 5 midfielders as the way to go alongside 2 of Salah, Mané, KDB, Son etc

    Vardy, Tammy, Rashford really the only shows in town from a striker perspective

    And Tony M gets an extra point per goal, per CS, and 1.0 cheaper than Rashers, which kind of swings it

    Unless double Utd attack floats your proverbial boat in which case 3-4-3 probably ok as well

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Jimenez says hi.

      Also Perez 😆 no no.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Sounds like Jimmy got out of jail though!

        Europa surely blunting him

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hard to look past Jimi Vardy and Tammy front 3 though. Where's the all out attack chip when you need it!

    3. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not really, there are too many value defenders you can easily field 4 at the back. Plus Tammy Vardy Jimi are also killing it up top

    4. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Only mane essential of the premiums. Perez not worth it.

  8. socho
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Son man of the match 1 goal 1BPS
    Jimenez awful game, 1 goal 3 BPS

    Fantasy Premier League at its finest.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Spurs were lucky not to lose tbf.

    2. Mikeharbrw
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would count at least half a dozen blades who had a better game than Son yesterday.

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      do they play in the same game, same score?

    4. socho
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Still. Bonus Point system poorly illustrates player's performance. Good luck arguing with that.

      Wonder how Aurier (2 BPS) played better than Son.

  9. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    9th ryan save.

    Every point counts

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      1 more and in the BPS

  10. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years

    Loving the Vardy Abraham Jimenez frontline.

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty great. Shame my defence can't seem to buy a clean sheet or attacking return

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Oh yeah, me too!

    3. Halftime
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Me too

    4. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I am confused between Jimenez and rashford. Need to get 1 of them for pukki. Firmino and laca other 2 options

  11. Pukki Blinders
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Greenwood 1 minute cameo confirmed

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nah, Jiminez was poor before the goal

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Martial could have had 3 extra assists in second half

      The guy makes some difference to utd’s attack

      Can someone update the with/without goals stat, it’s such a good response to the “Not getting Martial cos Utd are crap” posts

          • 7 Years

    Not sure if anyone else has the same bad vibes but it also feels (in italics) that my rank always (in bold) plummets on Sunday. Today I have four players playing from the two best sides and yet It was almost sure that my rank would drop would drop from last night. Maybe I need more United players because they always play on a Sunday.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Happens to me too.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        You need differential players for Arsenal, Wolves, Man Utd (i.e. EL teams) to have a good Sunday IMO.
