Two Premier League matches kick off at 14:00 BST today – Brighton and Hove Albion v Leicester City and West Ham United v Manchester United.

At Brighton, Graham Potter makes just one change as Adam Webster (£4.5m) is sidelined with a hamstring injury and is replaced by Solly March (£5.4m).

Pascal Gross (£6.0m) is continuing to self-isolate due to Covid-19 regulations, but Enock Mwepu (£5.9m) does return to the bench along with Tariq Lamptey (£4.4m).

As for Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, Boubakary Soumare (£4.9m) makes his first Premier League start and comes in for Marc Albrighton (£5.4m), while Ricardo Pereira (£5.5m) replaces Timothy Castagne (£5.4m) at right-back.

Meanwhile, Michail Antonio (£7.9m) is suspended for West Ham United after being sent off against Southampton in Gameweek 4. As a result, either Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) or Nikola Vlasic (£6.0m) will lead the line, with Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) completing David Moyes’ front four.

For Manchester United, Scott McTominay (£5.4m) starts alongside Fred (£5.0m) in a double pivot following groin surgery. That means Paul Pogba (£7.8m) could move back into a more advanced role on the left of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

Mason Greenwood (£7.7m) starts ahead of Jadon Sancho (£.9.1m) on the right, who drops to the bench along with Donny van de Beek (£5.8m) and Victor Lindelof (£4.9m), both of whom featured in Europe.

    Need a penalty save or something now Sanchez you useless plod

  2. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez just so uninspiring, no saves, no bonus, nothing but maybe 4 points for the CS sometimes

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yup - think I’m gonna sell for Ramsdale soon

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      It's not his fault if he has nothing to save!

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not blaming him just saying he's typically what we'd all try to avoid

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      he's a 4.5 keeper.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers Geoff, no 4.5 keeper has ever made lots of saves and hauled before

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Were u really expecting another martinez? That was one in a million.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 11 months ago

            No, not sure if you've played for long but there have been plenty of great 4.5s

            1. TheBiffas
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              I think everyone knew that there were no such options this year, and that sanchez was the best of a bad bunch.

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Still better than the likes of Meslier. Every GK who's outscoring him is more expensive.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Of course, but ramsdale is in the mix now and fixtures have to be factored in too. Long term you don't want to make that many GK transfers

        Guaita could end up being better too

    5. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Far cry from Emi 2.0 🙁 just don’t know who to replace him with as I hate spending premium for keepers when there are 4.5 starters.

      Ransdale could be enticing but I still for some reason have Tierney in the hope he gets attacking returns

    6. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He’s 4.5 and 85% EO and gets the odd clean sheet. I’m fine with that

  3. The Sociologist
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    So Benrahma has to stay now. Torres the priority to transfer out?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yep

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Sold him for this week already for Raphinha
      Meh

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Is say so.

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn’t sell Benrahma with 5 returns in his first five games.

    5. Sif
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why Torres, you know Pep roulette exists and they looked pants without him?

    6. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      So if he didn’t score against United, you’d of got rid? When he has Leeds next?

    7. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Surely not..? Torres has had his rest and City were toothless without him

      1. Miniboss
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Not that tasty fixtures for city.

    8. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah same for me, who you doing Torres too? I need to leave enough ITB for James/Rudiger the following week so will probably be Gallagher or Doucoure unfortunately lol

      1. squ1rrel
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Saka punt for me

    9. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Eh? Torres is their best forward. Bengrama got a fluky goal

      1. WVA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Their best forward who has scored in one game all season, great! Benrahma is destroying him plus look at their fixtures

  4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    All y’all moaning about Leicester not shooting for Sanchez to get save points I hope you're happy

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed. 6 points is all we ever needed.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I hope that we get another 3 despite owning Sanchez and no Foxes players

  5. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez owners…..
    He’s just so meh isn’t he
    Gets 1/2 saves max, some CSs

    So boring to own

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      And now his teams EO is so high you want him to concede, unless you own a defender too...

      It's bad!

    2. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      They are ok Brighton, he will keep CS's.

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yup not sure who to replace him with though. Ramsdale?

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Who's better? Ederson?

    5. Gunneryank
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I'm fine with 2 cleanies out of the last 4 before today. Solid team defense.

  6. Andy_Social
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Bissouma on free kick duty. Nice.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      No good if he doest score!

  7. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Come on Bruno … stick one in old pal …

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      77th minute.

  8. ZeBestee
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Trincao 》》 Gray for a hit?

    Or save

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Probably save, but as an owner Trincao is all fart, no poo

      1. ZeBestee
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Do you expect them to get a result against Southampton?

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Lol

      1. ZeBestee
        • 12 Years

        Ban

  9. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Greenwood G, Shaw A desperately needed!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Just a Shaw goal

    2. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Shaw sneaking nearly into bapland again

  10. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Since I brought Greenwood, Torres and Jota in my squad for gw4, they have only 1 assist combined. What happened to them? LoL
    Not sure which one to sell first :/

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      same :/

  11. OPTA FPL
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez f useless no saves to save his life

  12. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Really need a United pen soon to see who’s on them…

    Happy to have Bruno and Ronaldo for the next few though.

  13. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Offside goal Leicester

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Please don’t tell me Barnes was involved

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He was involved. He got in Sanchez eyeline to make it offside!

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Haha

  14. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Leicester have only had 2 shots on target, hard to make many saves

  15. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    You all really complaining about your 4.5 keeper? I think we were all spoilt by martinez last year

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Martinez
      Pope
      Heaton
      Butland

      Been spoiled a lot with 4.5s in the past

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This

      2. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Vorm

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 11 months ago

      There is a middle ground between Emi heroics and Sanchez making 0 saves

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        What did you expect? He made 0 saves last season, nothing new. I've got sanchez aswell but anything more than 2 points is a bonus in my mind.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Raya may be the one if you jumped on early

  16. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Greenwood to come off soon for Sancho

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      For Lingard, knowing OGS and his awful match management.

  17. Thanos
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Such a poor VAR decision for Leicester's second goal. Very very harsh.

  18. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Barnes lol

  19. Von Lipwig
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Also considering Traore to Sarr for my first hit of the season. Yey or nay?

    1. Qui-Gon-Joe
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Nah, chasing

  20. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I might just WC to get rid of Jimenez, Shaw, Jota, Sanchez etc.

  21. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Pen...

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      What is AWB doing there 😆

      Dumb luck!

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If that happened anywhere else in the field it’s Souceks free kick

  22. mezza
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Wan Bissaka is rubbish

  23. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    AWB a bit lucky there. Might've been offside anyway.

  24. Shark Team
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    That was a clear pen for West Ham NOT GIVEN!

    1. Shark Team
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Unless soucek was offside and he was...

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        This

  25. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    How was that not a pen?

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Offside

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        nope, off side would have been after the foul

        ref saw the foul against Soucek

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Bizarre refereeing.

      Looks like a bribe if anything.

  26. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Sancho and Lingard on

  27. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Shaw is the most overrated asset in the game imo.

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wait, I've been saying this all season and always get slated lol

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Same here, couldn’t understand all the love for him and Digne all throughout pre season

  28. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Lingard and sancho look ready to come on. Assume pogba and Greenwood will make way

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Pogba drops into mid maybe and stays on

  29. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Greeny probably out. Ffs!

  30. FPL Scoop
