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

    Does the free transfer rollover when you play the free hit ?

      No

        So should I make a transfer now then play the free hit or is that not possible either lol

          If you are playing your free hit you make as many transfers as you like and it won’t create hits. If you go for free hit you start the following week with one transfer.

          If you use the Free Hit, your team next week will return to what it was at the start of this GW.

          In other words it won't make a difference & you're burning a transfer.

    Any Leicester fans on? Have Barnes and wondering will he get any game time over the double? He seems to be out of favour lately. Should I play for 36 or move on? Thanks

    Mitrovic is pure fox in the box.

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Yea till he comes back up next season and does nothing again!

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Fulham are better than they used to be the last time they played in Premier League. Maybe they could finally stay up. Those who are saying they won't own him next season will be the first people to do so. If starting price is 7.0 or less, he's gonna have 30% ownership at the start. If he scores between 10 and 20 goals, Mitro's done his job as a mid-priced forward pick.

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years

          10-20 goals in the premier league? I hope you’re right but Toney was the the top scorer coming up this year and a lot bought into him at the start of season and he had six goals in 27 weeks. Now he’s coming good ok but big difference between the two leagues in scoring goals

          1. Paqueta Rice
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            To be fair, Toney broke the goal scoring record with 31 goals last season in the championship. Mitro if battered it with 43 this season right?

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Forwards could make a comeback next season with him and Haaland

      Base of template:
      TAA Cancelo James
      Salah Son
      Haaland Mitrovic

    My bench boost GW36 squad:
    Ramsdale Pickford
    Cancelo Trent Robertson James Mings
    Salah Havertz Ramsey Kulusevski Saka
    Watkins Richarlison Dennis

    Proposed transfers: Weghorst, Broja, Tierney and De Gea out
    Richarlison, Watkins, Mings, Pickford in (0 in the bank)
    -8 must be well worth it to bring in 4 players with back-to-back doubles.

    Pickford, Mings, Ramsey, Watkins, Richarlison doubling in 37. May do Havertz to Coutinho to make it 6 doublers.

    Thoughts?

  6. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Bench one please:
    A. Kulusevski (liv ARS)
    B. James (WOL lee)
    C. Pukki (WHU lei)
    D. Richarlison (lei wat)

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I’m in a similar predicament - old probably bench Pukki here

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A

  7. Dannyb
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    For bb this week?
    Toney Steele Doherty and Raphina to Watkins, Gordon, Holgate and Sanchez - 12?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Hell no

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Getting 4 players with potentially 4 games in 2 weeks though?

  8. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Brought in Elanga for Barnes last week for a -8 (to accommodate Doherty>James)......Of course Elanga and James both blank and I lose 4 points on those transfers......

    This week, I have brought in Nketiah and Laporte for Werner and Schar for a -4.... if I just didn't do anything I would be getting Elanga's points off the bench.........just can't get it right.

  9. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Kane, Coutinho + Doherty to Cancelo, Foden + Richarlison worth -8?

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not worth it. Kane and Cout have DGW’s so minus 8 too much.

  10. Shineonme
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Is there any changes i should make... my FH gw36 team.
    Schmeic/
    TAA/ Laporte/ Alonso/
    Salah/ Mount/ Son/ Foden/ Saka/
    Rich/ Watkins/
    Subs Dier/ Tsimikas/ 3.8. 3.8

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Perfect

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Thank you.

      2. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Who would cap? I'm not out of Salah. Foden and Son.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      No KDB?

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I'm on FH too.
      Not convinced that any of the Chelsea players will get both games - seems highly unlikely.
      So Mount & Alonso are too risky for me.

      Also only 2x Liverpool and 2x City seems a missed opportunity.
      Plus Watkins when one of the games is against Liverpool?

      This looks like a regular non-FH team to me.

      fwiw - here's mine current version....

      Schmeichel
      TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Mykolenko
      Salah, KDB, Mane, Saka
      Richarlison, Nketiah

      (3.9, 4.5, 4.2, 3.8)

      I'm interested in Son, Foden, maybe Vardy too.

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Mata twice as good as VDB

  12. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Bench James or Kulu?

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      James

    2. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      The reason I say James is because I don't think he starts both games that's why I picked Alonso in my FH team instead.

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Kulu......benching James is playing with fire

  13. RamboRN
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Getting vardy for gw36 crazy?

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes imo

  14. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Will Thiago Silva play both games?

    Or at keast. The Wolves game…?

    1. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      70% chance he plays both

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        wrong

    2. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      One for sure but both unlikely.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      If we can afford to bench him for Leeds he will be benched. Too important to risk something happening directly before the final.

    4. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      He clearly won't play v leeds

        Those 2 "passes"(1 where he tried to pass it to DDG and 1 when he tried to pass it to Mctominay) must be 2 of the worst passes I've seen in a long while.

      I'm gonna lose a H2H league because I couldn't beat a guy who:

      - Is 5.4m ranked
      - Has Vardy (c)
      - Hasn't touched his team since GW11
      - Is only fielding 8 players

      Just hilarious. I'm on a green arrow too in the top 10K...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Maybe we should just set out team up on week one and leave it be lol! I know I’d be taking in the points with Toney now if I did

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Just look at this team. I can't... It's just too funny.

          Lol you couldn’t make it up! Could be worse he could’ve had son captain lol!

            • 13 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            The Vardy (c) is extra insult to injury really. He didn't even get his captain right and he's still beating me!

            1. Haalander
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 3 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              He probably hasn’t even looked at the team and doesn’t even know Vardy’s been out for ages!

    3. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      VVD over Robbo or Dias over Cancelo worth it to do Dennis to Rich in GW37? Or just get Cancelo and Robbo this week and no rich?

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      Anyone else who thinks that if Foden start vs Real will get a rest in gw36?

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        no

      2. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Yea I’m worried he doesn’t play both games in 36. Think he plays v Madrid and misses out on one of the doubles. Thinking of moving him to KDB as I’ve already two city defence

      3. Mr Arsenal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Best bet might be Jesus. If he doesn’t start bs Real, he will play va Newcastle and lowly get minute vs Wolves too

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Agreed.If Jesus doesn't start i will get him.

    5. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Who scores more this GW?

      A) KDB + Richarlison

      B) Foden + Kane

      C) Son + Jesus

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Good question. If I knew I’d be winning fpl! On a hunch I’d say A

        1. Mr Bird
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Yeah probably should have said who ‘do you think’ scores more.
