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.

  2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Lads I have to say - I bloody love Marcus Rashford, I really do

    Especially when he's captain 🙂

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years

      Top lad

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        33 premier league goals between him & Tony M now this season - next season should be set for great things with those two from the start - should easily get 40 league goals between them

        Could push for 50

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah watched him two games ago and he hardly touched the ball. Said I could never watch him again on my team. Scored twice since.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Never got rid, but did get rid of Son. Costing me a top1k finish.

    4. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Thankful to get him back after FH. Wish I hadn’t ditched to get Sterling tho

  5. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford to Greenwood was such a bad move.

    1. DRINKWINE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      +1

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

  6. Rainer

  12. JBG

  13. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    De Gea 2 saves. Should be 3

    1. Fudgy

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

  15. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    How was the penalty not given? What a joke

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I've realised not to question decisions going for manutd anymore. I just live with the annoying fact that manutd get nearly every decision in their favour now

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t feed into it

  16. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thats a joke... either no assist or Martial assist

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Ha to touch it for starters ?

  17. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else remove Bruno and Rashford on Free Hit?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Just Rash

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep.

  18. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford, Bruno and Lamptey going well so far! Just need martial to stay quiet

  19. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone else glad they stuck with Rashford?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but Martial will probably score a second half hatty

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I took him out for greenwood a few weeks ago. Seems to be slowly backfiring.

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      As above the wish I had on FH rather than getting Ings to afford Sterling(c) but oh well. Will have him back next week!

    4. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Rashford does better away against teams who leave space. 2 of the last 3 are away so not worth switching

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep and pleased

  20. Amey
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Rashford sold 2 defenders & GK with that skill 😀

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years

      Horrendous.

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years

  27. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Have had a decent gameweek, but then why I captained useless Foden... Was between Bruno, Dilva and Foden. ..

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Will always pick the wrong one, it’s hiw FPL works

      1. Strchld
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        After restart my VC captain have scored much more points than captain.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yep, it’s why the game should remove the captaincy system, will always be crap

          1. Strchld
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I want this too. Or atleast make it 1.5x points, not double.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Convince yourself as to why you should pick one using stats, history, community opinion etc.

      Then pick the other one.

  28. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Go on Rashy son

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Why did not Palace get a pen? Sorry, stupid question, everyone knows the answer.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Playing vs Man United.

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        No that's when Fernandes dives! Guaranteed pen then!

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Typical varchester. Always try to make out as if they’re the victims too

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Creative name. Did you think of that all by yourself?

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, and just for the off chance that someone doesn’t know the answer, he won the ball.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years

    5. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Which situation are you referring to? Zaha vs Lindelöf? Looked like Lindelöf took the ball very clearly? Or was there another situation I missed?

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Rio Ferdinand just admitted clear penalty
