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.

  11. Granville

    It might be MacAllister OG. Sanchez onto MacAllister

  12. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 hours ago

    Sanchez gets the assist 😛

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 hours ago

      Yep

  13. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 hours ago

    The goal keeper knocks it on for the OG

  14. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 hours ago

    The Ref is losing the plot

  15. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 hours ago

    MacAllister Is Man Utd top scorer so far this season….

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 hours ago

      It will probably stay like this for a few games

  16. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 hours ago

    Ronaldo to score a late equaliser.

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 hours ago

    Where is my dalot assist?

    It's a Sanchez save onto the Bhai player

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 hours ago

      You just explained why it's not an assist.

      Two defensive touches after Dalot.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 hours ago

        If a shot is going on target and keeper deflects it in it counts as a goal.

        If a shot on target is saved by the keeper and the other player knocks it in it counts as an assisit

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 hours ago

          If Dalot's teammate did, sure.
