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.

    Who says Sanchez doesn't make saves 😛

  2. FOO FIGHTER

    Dalot owners don't own Salah.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Casuals?

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

        Complaining why Dalot has no assist.

  3. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 13 Years

    Mahrez benched means he'll start next GW those are the Pep Roulette rules

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The rule is Mahrez is never first choice at RW and never will be

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

      The rule of Pep roulette is that there are no fixed rules

  4. Gudjohnsen

    Did Dalot get an assist?

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nope he won’t, own goal mess…

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

    Always fascinates me how a goal can have such an effect on a team.

    1. Ninja Škrtel
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      CR7 effect

  6. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Already considering mount to foden

    1. Gunner77-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      What about Grealish?

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mount to Grealish me

    3. TOBY1
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He looked awful last game. He'd have to play very well for me to consider it. I see Foden as competition for both Mahrez and grealish

  7. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How was Neto yesterday?

    Promising, or the trap I feared he might be? Should’ve went Dewsbury-Hall, gah…

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

      Grand, keep for Fulham then see.

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Kk thx!

  8. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Poor Mahrez.

  9. Tcheco
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dalot is not a good right back

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

      He's not but he's a capable footballer, unlike AWB, which is key to an EtH side.

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

    Gundogan captain.

  11. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez owners getting what they get,

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like Darwin owners got

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah

        I did mean that too

  12. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I honestly couldn't tell you what type of midfielder Van de beek is

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A bad one?

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

      Van de EEK

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pecks away at the defence….

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Classic Ajax box to box. Good at making late runs in the box, and was known for his energy and stamina. Not the most technical player but effective if he is used correctly.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dirt Kuyt?

      2. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Better than Siem de Jong?

  13. Piggs Boson
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Foden RW sounds good to me! 🙂

    Roulette wheel has been merciful today...

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This game has a Gundo far post goal written all over it.

  14. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Van Der Beek really scrubbing his face for some reason.

  15. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aaron Ramsey scores on his debut for Nice

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who's gonna die today?

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice one

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

      Oh no.

    4. Gunner77-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nice

    5. Flying Dutchman
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who has him

  16. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen been United's best player in this game.

    What do you think?

    1. Gunner77-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't touch any of their players

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

      Excluding VAR, probably.

    3. TheSteel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I agree

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd have to watch it back, it has been all Brighton

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. Oozes quality. One of the few with a brain.

    6. Dr Mantis Toboggan
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Eriksen is United’s best player.

  17. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years

      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

              • 13 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              We shouldn't expect mutch from a 4m asset

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I used to think you were funny, you literally only come on here to rile up people. Bit sad lol.

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester have really dropped the ball today. They were so comfortable after the first half.

  24. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    All aboard the Dasilva bandwagon

  25. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dasilva what a goal

  26. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Raya coming in clutch with the save point

  27. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So they were the best 4.5 mid and for

  28. Eleven Hag
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why did I opt for Mahrez 🙁

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

    Pack your bags, Martin Dubravka!
