Gameweek 36+ continues at a furious pace, with two more Premier League matches kicking off at 20:15 BST this evening.

There is a lot riding on this evening’s games from a Fantasy perspective, too, particularly at Selhurst Park.

Manchester United are the visitors to Crystal Palace, while in tonight’s other fixture, there is a clash between two south coast clubs as Brighton and Hove Albion face Southampton at the Amex.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had named an unchanged starting XI in his previous five league games but that run has come to an end this evening, with the Norwegian making two alterations to his line-up.

Mason Greenwood (£4.9m) isn’t among the changes, however, with the youngster passed fit to start after an ankle knock.

The injured Brandon Williams (£3.9m) and Luke Shaw (£5.4m) are both unable to feature, so Timothy Fosu-Mensah – not priced up by FPL at kick-off – is given the nod at left-back.

Scott McTominay (£4.8m) is in for Nemanja Matic (£4.8m) in Solskjaer’s only other alteration.

Bruno Fernandes (£9.1m), Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) and Anthony Martial (£8.4m) all start.

Fernandes was the third-most-captained player of Gameweek 36+, both overall and in the top 10,000.

A whopping 91.6% of the top 10k own the Portuguese midfielder, while Martial and Greenwood also sit in more than one in two squads among this elite group.

For the Eagles, the suspended Christian Benteke (£5.7m) is replaced by Andros Townsend in the attack.

That will likely see Jordan Ayew (£5.1m) moving centrally in the Belgian’s absence.

There are a whopping 11 changes in total at the Amex.

After naming the same team three matches in a row, Ralph Hasenhuttl has made five alterations for the trip to Brighton.

Danny Ings (£7.5m) starts but Ryan Bertrand (£4.8m), Jack Stephens (£4.4m), Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.4m), Che Adams (£5.3m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m) are benched.

Jake Vokins (£4.0m), Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m), Will Smallbone (£4.5m), Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.8m) are recalled.

Ever the tinkerer, Graham Potter has brought Neal Maupay (£5.7m), Tariq Lamptey (£4.1m), Dan Burn (£4.5m), Dale Stephens (£4.4m), Solly March (£4.6m) and Glenn Murray (£5.4m) back into his side after the 5-0 defeat against Manchester City.


Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Ward, Sakho, Dann, van Aanholt; McArthur, Milivojevic, McCarthy; Townsend, Zaha, Ayew.

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelöf, Fosu-Mensah; McTominay, Pogba; Greenwood, B Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Ward-Prowse, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Vokins; Smallbone, Højbjerg; Romeu, Redmond; Ings, Obafemi.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan; Lamptey, Dunk, Webster, Burn; March, Stephens, Propper, Trossard; Maupay, Murray.

      United 12th player - I like VAR but they’re making it really difficult

      Jees. kind of vindicated in not taking a hit to get him in just about so far. Doesn’t look like he’ll get two hopefully! Vardy assist and giroud goal from my strikers this week.

    LOL. Offside.

  8. JONALDINHO

    United seriously need to be investigated. Amount of decisions that go their way is ridiculous

    1. Cilly Bonnolly

      “Investigated”. Lol.

      So you're saying it wasn't offside?

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No one actually cares that the vast majority of the decisions United get are correct. They just don’t want them to get them because United.

      Rich from a LiVARpool-supporter...

        6 years, 1 month ago

        Never been a decision that went Liverpool’s way that wasn’t deserved. This whole LiVARpool is a wind up. United have gotten so many decisions their way that shouldn’t have

        1. Robson-Canoe
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          But it was offside though, I don't get your point.

    Offside :lol. Var just wants to rule goals out

    Clear pens are never checked

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The whole point of VAR is to rule goals out.

      We didn't bring in VAR because people were onside when they were told they were offside.

      We brought in VAR to stop offside 'goals', send off more players because they were getting away with RC challenges, stop handball 'goals'

    Another instance where they should just stick with the original decision.

    Thank you VAR. Temporary reprieve for us suffering Maguire owners.

  27. Deulofail

    The way they drawn that line is so flawed

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      100%

    2. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      @DEULOFAIL, please explain.

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

        Different camera angles will yield different results when selecting body parts that aren't on the ground. In fact, in this instance, I don't recall them even drawing a line to the ground. They behaved as if their feet were on the ground and drew a line between them, even though they were at different heights. Might be wrong about that, but either way, it's not accurate if the camera isn't in line with play.

        Not to mention that they have to chose which frame to use to make a judgement, which will never reflect the true reality. I think they should take the 2 frames either side. Offside should be given if all 3 frames show attacker offside, thus giving them the benefit of the doubt. Higher frame rate would help too

    Maguire owner. VAR takes away from the game

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years

      I know. Why not have a 2 cm wrong decision to avoid all these stops.

      1. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        They still have to stop and check the 2cm

  29. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I absolutely hate VAR

  30. JBG

    Suck a fat one Ayew and Hodgson.
