Man Utd v Brentford team news: Mata in for Rashford

Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) comes to a close this evening with Manchester United hosting Brentford at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Ralf Rangnick makes one change from the side that drew 1-1 with Chelsea in Gameweek 34, as Juan Mata comes in for Marcus Rashford, who drops to the bench.

Edinson Cavani, meanwhile, is a substitute and could feature for the first time since March.

As for the visitors, Kristoffer Ajer and Christian Norgaard return after missing the goalless draw with Tottenham Hotspur, with Saman Ghoddos and Mathias Jensen making way.

That means Christian Eriksen continues in midfield, with The Bees unbeaten in all six of the matches he has started.

However, this game comes too soon for Ethan Pinnock and Sergi Canos.

GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles, McTominay, Matic, Mata, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Jones, Fernandez, Fred, Lingard, Garnacho, Rashford, Cavani

Brentford XI: Raya, Ajer, Jansson, Bech, Roerslev, Janelt, Norgaard, Eriksen, Henry, Mbeumo, Toney

Subs: Fernandez, Jeanvier, Stevens, Da Silva, Jensen, Baptiste, Wissa, Fosu-Henry, Young-Coombes

    Best keeper & defender combo with £9.6 budget for GW36?

    Was looking at Eve & Lei due to back to back DGW but Matip seemingly popular it seems?!

      Hmm thinking of a -8 for BB36:
      Doherty, Martinelli, Mount, Kane to
      Laporte, Gordon, KDB, Richarlison

      Means I still have Mateta and Broja but feel like these might be worthwhile moves. What do you reckon?

        I would get doublers for the singles ones instead of just swapping doublers.
        Or if funds is needed KANE out so you can upgrade Doherty, mateta and Broja.
        Something like Richarlison, watkins, cancelo and Pukki if it works. If cancelo to much then Laporte.

            Spurs will be number four by then with nothing to play for and Leicester nothing to play for. I would like to have SON but not the expense of Salah. Liverpool most likely plays for the title.

                Bayern and back to Madrid is being touted. Can't see him staying at Man Utd as Messi will slowly but surely overtake his champions League goal record otherwise, and will have done it in less games

                  heard abt the back to madrid rumours which I thought make sense, but havent seen the Bayern ones. That looks like a interesting one, Lewandowski leaving for barca it seems and its an easy league for ronaldo to get his goals and get his UCL football and hell add another league title from another European Country so sounds like a great option for him if Bayern are actually interested, not sure how much actual interest there is from them.

                  What about PSG as a shout to try and get him and Messi together for a season ? Or do you think its become too toxic now ?

                    I think Bayern is the best bet, can stat pad, get goals in the champions League, win another title in a different league

                    Psg are unbalanced enough as it is, they can't add another ego not tracking back that said they don't get football and will probably just throw money at it

              What would you do in my position?

              Sa
              TAA/Robbo/Cancelo/Laporte/James
              Jota/Foden/Saka/Coutinho
              Kane

              Dubravka/Fraser*/Dobbin*/Broja
              1ft 1.4itb

              a)FH in gw36(means Kdb(c)+ Salah+Son+others) and get Son in gw37.
              b)Kane+Jota->Richarlison+Salah(c) and FH in gw37 but no Kane or Son for gw37/gw38.I can't see a way to get at least one of them.I hope you can.

                Same here. Not too bitter about being rid of that rat faced troll though.

              Bruno (C) goal worth 50K rank each time... Still going to be shipping him out for the Citeh double.

              Before I go ahead and activate the chip, how does this draft FH team look for gw36?

              Ramsdale
              Robertson | Laporte | Alonso | Matip
              Salah | KDB | Son | Foden | Saka
              Richarlison

              The bench would be pretty weak.

                Why Ramsdale? He will concede. Will Alonso play both? Midfield looks great

                A for Cancelo, he's always close to a haul

                Option A looks stronger.
