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.

    Ryan is the best keeper for this season, Brighton so poor in defense so he makes million saves. Before the season I was 50-50 between him and Heaton, shame I picked the wrong one 🙁

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

      It's not even just the saves. Potter's emphasis on passing at the back really helps him too.

      1. Railwayman
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That helps him too, but 9 saves today is huge 18 baps.

  2. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hopefully people jump on the Martial and Rashford trap. Martial one good game every 10 games.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      When you look at the minutes he plays and his goal involvements, that's actually not true.

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

        Theres atleast 4 or 5 I rather have within his price range or lower.

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I think you're math is kinda off their pal, 5 returns in 7 matches is not one in 10.

    3. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Injury incoming for him in the next 2-3 games.

    4. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      martial's points per minute last season was similar to salah's and this season in 6 starts he's only blanked once

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

      Rubbish. Playing no.9 as a 7.5 mid in fpl, far from a trap. He's involved in majority of United goals too

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

        Rather have Pulisic or Maddison

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

          I did Madds to Martial 2 weeks ago... no regrets

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

            lol

        2. AndyCook

          You can have all three!

      2. ‘Tis the Season

        Because united score so many..

      Why must you turn this place into a house of lies?

      Man Utd: With Martial, Without Martial
      Games: 14, 18
      Wins: 11, 5
      Goals Scored: 2.3, 1.1

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

        He will be out of most relevant teams within 2 game weeks

        1. Party time
          6 years, 8 months ago

          because you are his bones & muscles? Watch his owners enjoy points mate

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

            Im going to watch him blank and then get injured as usual

            1. ‘Tis the Season
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              This man knows

              1. Party time
                6 years, 8 months ago

                🙂 Ok

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

                  Link your fpl team.

                  1. ‘Tis the Season

                    Who?

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

                      Hakim Ziyech

                      No fpl link for a reason. Talks big but nothing to back it up with

    7. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lol totally agree. Annoying how they pipe up now he finally returns though!

  3. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    horrific score ::::::( 27 with one game left

  4. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Good win for United before Sheffield destroys them

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

      Yeah, Im starting Lundy.

  5. Pacer.
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Took a bit of a risk mini wildcarding. a -12 to get Martial, Vardy and TAA in. Thankfully looking like it's paid for itself with 30something combined for Vardy and Martial (C).

    Christ I need to not do that to myself more than once a year

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      -12 is still crazy!

      1. Pacer.
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Why, I'm on about 70 now with three players left. It is paying off and avoided several drops and rises.

        It's a big call. Crazy though?

        1. ‘Tis the Season
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Taking a -12 hit this season with ZERO template is crazy, regardless

          1. Pacer.
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Not when you have Liverpool Leicester and United simultaneously hitting beautiful fixtures

    2. Tempestic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeh I took a -8 this week and it certainly paid off

  6. andres
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Can united be trusted going forward?

    Wondering if martial is worth getting over say pulisic.

    For sure neither this gw as united will loose in sheffield and che have city away...9

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds like you can afford to wait. Hold the move. Assess after.

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic over Martial, easy decision

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

      Martial can be trusted a lot more than pulisic imo... he's essential in that United team for goal involvement

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

        Yeah but United are midtable side with limited offensive capability, Chelsea are top 4 and a good attacking team.

  7. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    How'd wolves concede? Was pat at fault?

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

    Salah EO?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years

      18.2% top 10k

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

        Wow that's got to be an all time low

      2. Pedram
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Still too high imo

  9. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    How has Ryan managed 3 BAPs there.
    3 - Ryan
    2 - Martial
    1 - not sure because so annoyed martial didn’t get 3 I just clicked straight off the page

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Saves and loads of short passes I guess, that's how he usually does it.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Don’t be cheeky or I’ll celebrate Trezeguet’s goal when I watch the highlights later

    2. Tempestic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Concedes 3 goals and still gets 7 points with no pen saves.... crazy

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That’s not FPL is it

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

          as a martial owner I completely agree

  10. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan has been a legend. Again goals conceded but as it stands he still gets 6pts.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Can think of other words

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Actually 7 now. How on earth has he picked up 3bp? Incredible

        1. Railwayman
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          6 for playing 90 minutes, 18 for 9 saves and another 10 for passes I guess and something else, I don't know exactly.

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      7points bro

  11. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Trent, Mane and KDB haul. Sterling RC with a City win too much to ask?

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

      Want all the same but a score draw

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      At least you had the first sentence right.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds beautiful to me.

    4. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe not RC. I'll take Robbo assist out of those.

    5. Podge
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Sounds perfect

  12. JIMMY TUGGINS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan is a baps magnet right? I need to decide on either him or Hendo to replace Pope soon.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep fixtures don’t matter he gets free points anyway for being a bad keeper

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Got him on my bench

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

      Replace Pope why?

  13. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I coulda sworn this place was getting the tissues out over Maddison and Pulisic yesterday and saying how Martial isn't a good pick... Hmmmm

    1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      they will all have good games

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        And I agree

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

      Have you watched Man United? Watching Chelsea sparks joy while Man United? High blood pressure maybe.

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yes I've watched Man United, and I'm glad they aren't a good side anymore. But Martial is a good pick.

    3. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Re Martial. A broken clock is still right twice a day. Don’t expect that from him again soon...

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        He's a good player, has high goal involvement when he plays so.. The only thing I would say is when I watch him, his body language seems so depressing for a guy who makes more money in a week than many do in a decade.

  14. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Am going for i Liverpool win with Aguero playing. I have no clue why he's not high pressing like Utd did. He confuses me Pep.

  15. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Got myself in an exact cash situation.

    Dunk, james, auba -> soyuncu, maddison, vardy -4??

    1. The Head-Ake

      Yes

    Wow, from 1.3Mil Friday night up to 450k. First time I've had any luck this season and its come out in force 😎

  17. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Do we expect jimi bps to go after deducting for missed shots

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

      Apparently those have been already factored in

    2. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Think Villa's consolation hopefully takes some off the defence and possibly Traore?

    3. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I don't think so, those should be deducted during the game, at least I hope so :d

  18. The Head-Ake
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    McGinn + Rico to Maddison + Williams for a -4?

  19. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    BPS after adjustments?

  20. FPL_Hazards

    Jimi sneaking all 3 baps?

    1. Sailboats

      6 years, 8 months ago

      yes

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

    Ryan a hero, probably only 1 bonus point for (5) total but not bad when conceding 3.

  22. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Vardy, Jimenez and Abraham front 3 working well

      Hardly.

    So now they are manipulating bps too. Jimi getting 3 bonus stinks of rotten stuff. He missed so many. I counted 3 myself.

        Rashford ruined Tony's assist buddy. Tony should've had a hat trick of assists + a goal 🙁
