One of the Gameweek 36 matches with the least riding on it from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective takes place this evening.

Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester United, two of the eight teams with a ‘single’ Gameweek, meet at the Amex in a 17:30 BST kick-off.

In fact, among the top 10,000 FPL managers, there is a combined ‘effective ownership’ figure of just 2.18% in this fixture.

The team news is nice and simple as there is only one change between the two sides, both of whom won 3-0 in Gameweek 35 – and it’s an enforced one at that.

That alteration has been made by Graham Potter, who has recalled Pascal Gross to replace the injured Enock Mwepu.

Ralf Rangnick names the same starting XI that beat Brentford on Monday, which means another start for Juan Mata.

The fit-again Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are back on the bench, meanwhile.

GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Cucurella, Dunk, Veltman, Trossard, Caicedo, Bissouma, Gross, March, Mac Allister, Welbeck.

Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Webster, Duffy, Offiah, Lallana, Alzate, Maupay, Ferguson.

Manchester United: De Gea, Telles, Varane, Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, McTominay, Mata, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo.

Subs: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Fernandez, Jones, Fred, Lingard, Cavani, Garnacho.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It would always have been the second game for a rest not Spurs

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yea, could really do with a defender getting some points though.

  2. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who to downgrade by 0.1 on FH - A) Pickford b)Gordon c)Watkins d)digne e)zaha f) cancello g)Robo? Thanks

  3. Giovanni Giorgio

    FH template?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pickford
      Trent, Robbo, Cash
      Salah, Son, Zaha, Gordon
      Kane, Richarlison, Watkins

      3-4-3 just looks wrong these days

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Similar to mine although not sure whether to go both TAA and Robo or go for Double villa?

  4. Ginkapo FPL

    Its s joke that Burnley might be relegated instead of Man United. One team adds much more value to the league than the other

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      We’ve been much better than Burnley over the course of the season tbf

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Burnley have had much greater impact on the title raise by being a genuine banana skin.

      2. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        We???

        Earlier you said you were a neutral 😎

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          That was 4 pages ago, keep up

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Hala Madrid.

  5. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hard to believe you can get spurs at 6/1 that’s mental

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Even harder to believe people are taking Redro seriously

  6. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    My team actually looks quite set for the next two GWs. Might just ditch the remaining FH as things stand.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Triple Palace on FH in 38?

      1. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        The only problem is Vieira may give his big guns an early holiday and throw in his youngsters to beat united.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Nathan Ferguson in!

      2. fedolefan

    2. AC/DC AFC

      Just take a few hits instead.

      More Blackpool than Ibiza for them this summer.

      Or Dubai, that sums them up. Trashy

      1. Vote Joke
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ibiza is for trashy people too

    2. Deulofail

      Influencers gotta get there first to flaunt their peachy beachy booties

    3. Ginkapo FPL

      Negotiating their transfers

  8. Stranger Mings

    Hi best defender for up to 7.1 FH A) cash (got digne) b) Alonso c) Dias d) Laporte e) other?Thanks

  9. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    As non salah capper, the success of the game week may be defined in the next 2 hours.

  10. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    The only thing worse than te performance is Rangnicks jumper

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nicked rag

  11. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Quite funny that SGWer Veltman is my highest scorer on the BB so far.

  12. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks for nothing Klopp, benching Matip. BB working out so well for me so far.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Matip and Konate have been rotating for a while

      1. GoonerGirl
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not in the league, Matip has always played 90 mins. Not the week I play my bench boost though of course. Classic.

      2. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not really konate has been playing the cup and Matip the league it’s unlucky he’s been benched

        1. GoonerGirl
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I see what you mean. I guess I chose the wrong time to bring him in so near to the cup final.

          1. Haalander
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            That’s just bad luck. He’ll play against villa. And keep a clean sheet and score two:)

            1. GoonerGirl
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Lol yeah, that would be nice 🙂

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      matip has been ill i read

      1. GoonerGirl
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Hopefully be back for next game then, if true.

      2. boc610
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        there's a cream for that

      3. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I was thinking there was reason that could explain it. I was sure he’d be the starter in the league and konate for the fa cup

  13. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone knows what happened to Coutinho? Still expected to play next 2 matches?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Blanking a lot and might not be in next seasons plans, unlike Buendia.

      Wouldn't expect Coutinho to start over him vs Liverpool.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I'd definitely expect Coutinho to play against Liverpool.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Why when they played so well with Buendia?

          https://twitter.com/FPLVillan/status/1522993032777416705

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Coutinho buendia watkins front 3 probably.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sold to Barcelona

  14. Moose™
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sold Bruno to get Matip Alonso. I don’t know how to feel tbh

  15. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If Liverpool don't keep a CS in the next game, it could turn out that not taking a hit for Doherty -> Matip might've earned(saved) me more points on that move.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Positive thinking

  16. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    First FH37 Draft:

    Martinez*
    Robertson Cash* Holgate*
    Salah KDB Maddison* Zaha
    Kane Watkins* Richarlison*

    (3.9m, Guehi*, Brownhill*, Tsimikas)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You might want a deeper bench than that?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nah. Beauty (what's left of it anyway) of DGWs mean you don't normally need a bench. 1 sub is fine.

        1. jason_ni
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          And if Robertson in benched, you have his 3.7m replacement to step in.

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Like this week?

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Who's gonna miss both games?

    2. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think I'm gonna dbl on spurs with son as well in place of kdb.

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I may consider it too

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Apparently it's an illness that kept him out today

      1. pablo discobar
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He's on the bench I think?

        1. The Philosopher
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          He's not

          1. Herger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            He is

          2. Ginkapo FPL
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            He is

          3. The Philosopher
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            My bad. He's on the bench, yes

        2. The Philosopher
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Anyways, you still dodged a bullet luckily this week, it seems

  17. lonecomander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    It is early in the week but man does this feel like a pretty spectacular failure of a bench boost. The only saving grace seems to be that about everyone is having the same poor results so far. Have to admit I'm a bit worried going into this next game without Salah especially with Matip benched.

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same as that I’ve capped son and don’t have salah but expecting salah maybe to do a number against sess tonight

  18. Vote Joke
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Wow. Man United are really bad.

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. lonecomander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      We are absolutely trash. Maybe it is different in the UK but I cannot understand how Ragnick isn't getting absolutely destroyed in the media. Here in the US they seem to give him a pass on all of his incredibly unusual management decisions. But the honest answer is Klopp, Pep, and Conte couldn't get this team to defend well. I'll be honest I cannot remember being more demoralized as a United fan since Sir Alex retired.

  19. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Please god don't let Steve McManaman be on commentary. BT LFC is painful

  20. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I promise myself this towards the end of every season, but next season I'm gonna get the BB out of the way in the first few GWs definitely. Always ruins a few good GWs in hits and team structure preparing for it.

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Damn Robbo - you should have finished that.
