Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Leicester City v Brentford and Manchester United v Brighton and Hove Albion.

Both games kick-off at 14:00 BST.

£4.0m ‘keeper Danny Ward starts in goal for Leicester following Kasper Schmeichel’s transfer to Nice, with Daniel Iversen on the bench.

However, Ricardo Pereira and Harvey Barnes both miss out, with the former ruled out for six months after rupturing his Achilles in the friendly against Sevilla.

Brentford, meanwhile, hand debuts to defenders Ben Mee and Aaron Hickey, with Thomas Frank opting for a 4-3-3 formation that includes Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Ivan Toney in attack.

Kristoffer Ajer and Sergi Canos are both injured, while Ethan Pinnock is a long-term absentee.

At Old Trafford, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen both start, while Cristiano Ronaldo is on the bench.

As expected, Anthony Martial misses out, which means Erik ten Hag will deploy Eriksen as a false nine.

There is one change for Brighton from the final friendly against Espanyol, as Adam Lallana starts in place of Enock Mwepu.

Alexis Mac Allister is also in the starting XI after shaking off a recent groin issue, while new signings Levi Colwill and Jeremy Sarmiento are substitutes.

There is no place in the squad for Julio Enciso.

      Well the pass wasn't really good. It lacked some power to get Rashford into a better position.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods

    Wasn’t offside… what a save

  14. Puntillimon
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford……….. non-owner here.

  15. Zalk
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What are the linesmen doing? Welbecks offside it was up immedietely when he touched the ball, Ronaldos they wait for til the goal. Are they united fans?

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They thought it will not be a goal so no need to raise the flag up.

  16. The Invincibles
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure I’d pay £4.5 for Rashford, let alone £6.5.

    Poor defending by Leicester, nice touch and finish from Toney.

    Ronaldo, You have to Cross and finish your Cross.

  21. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman

    Let me guess, no one has any united assets on here. Thousands of player here. Not a single united asset

    1. TheTinman
      • 11 Years

      I had Sancho in drafts for about 2 weeks! Lucky escape.

    Brentford have been rubbish. Proper disappointing to have conceded.

  23. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

  24. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ward, Dalot, Rashford, Bailey, Neto- You get what you pay for. Nobody mention Kane

    Toney … drat.

    And looking like my Rashford punt (really just cos I was shocked how cheap he was) must be rectified immediately

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Many were warned about going for UTD assets
