Rounding off the day’s Premier League action is Brentford v Manchester United, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

It’s a game that has relatively little riding on it from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective: Marcus Rashford is the most-selected player in this fixture with a 10.1% ownership, which about sums it up.

As for the team news, Cristiano Ronaldo is recalled to make his first start of the season in Erik ten Hag’s only change.

Scott McTominay is the player to make way.

Thomas Frank goes to a wing-back system for the visit of the Red Devils, making two changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Leicester City last week.

Mads Roerslev and £4.5m FPL midfielder Josh Dasilva are promoted to the starting XI as Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa drop out.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Brentford XI: Raya, Hickey, Jansson, Mee, Henry, Norgaard, Roerslev, Jensen, Dasilva, Mbeumo, Toney.

Subs: Wissa, Ghoddos, Onyeka, Strakosha, Lewis-Potter, Damsgaard.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Fred, Fernandes, Eriksen, Sancho, Rashford, Ronaldo.

Subs: Heaton, Malacia, Varane, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Elanga, Garner, McTominay, Garnacho.

    What happened with Foden, should i keep Grealish in my team?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kaznio ga jer nije dodao Haalandu za zicer

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Fok

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I have Grealish too and tempted to keep but I might sell for Martinelli. Want to be able to sleep on it

  2. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Should we be targeting players from
    Southampton & Leicester if see their GW4 & 5 fixtures ?

  3. Scoop77

    When will the commentators and papers stop talking about these being “shock results” and “humbling”? Utd have been terrible for ages now - it’s not surprising in the slightest anymore

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      United defenders about to get back to zero points

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Very true its the past

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe Utd have a good U21 side coming through to feed players in?……. Oh wait we tonked them 5-1 yesterday evening 🙂

  4. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Brighton embarrassed that they only scored 2 goals.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      🙂

  5. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sancho has been such a disappointing buy for United. Another case of overhyped English talent.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Got to question the quality of bundesliga as he was running riot there

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He was pretty wasteful even in the Bundesliga

  6. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wow. Four substitutions before the 60 minute mark.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Stir it up

  7. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus

    2 goals
    2 assists

    Where were the influences game week 2?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years

      Following the herd to not loose subscriptions.

  8. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts?

    1. WC
    2. Digne Bailey out -4
    3. Only one out

    Rambo
    TAA/Robo/Cancelo/Digne
    Salah/Mount/Martineli/Bailey
    Haaland/Jesus

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2 imo. Mount can wait a bit.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2

    3. svgcr
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Digne out and play Andreas

    4. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers guys

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    A gentle reminder of the competition for Dasilva's position before even considering Damsgaard.

    Can't be relied on!

  10. Manimals
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Does anyone know why Foden went off at half time? Was he injured?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Didn't look injured. We might see a lot of those from Pep this season.

      1. Manimals
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate!

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      According to flashscore Pep was disappointed in his performance... but it was probably just bc of the heat - maybe he couldn't handle it as well as other players and they were already 3-0 up.

      1. Manimals
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Good thinking! Thanks man

  11. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Neto & Bailey to Rodrigo & da silva no brainer?have exact funds

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Is Rodrigo a mid?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yes - he has Chelsea next but then fixtures look ok

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Strange, but good form and if Bam is out is is deffo a good option atm

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yeh he has scored 3 in 2 games

  12. F_Ivanovic

    How to ruin your career as a football player.

    Step 1: Sign for Man Utd.
    Step 2: ?????
    Step 3: Profit.

  13. Retired
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is it 10-0 yet?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No, Brentford have let themselves and everyone else down only scoring 4.

      1. Retired
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Still time, finger’s crossed.

  14. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Walker, Aaronson and Saliba

    Or

    Walker, Neco and Rodrigo

    Playing with potential WC options

    1. Steirish
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A would mean 5 at back most weeks

  15. Scoop77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    It’s the speed Utd do things which is the problem. They are so slow to move the ball around, they all want 5,6,7 touches and 10 seconds on the ball, it’s all one touch stuff at the top level

  16. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Just idea but should wait
    Kane & Ward >
    Núñez & Ederson
    For free

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Kane is a huge differential atm

  17. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    First sack of the season?

    1. Lampard
    2. Ten Haag

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hopefully neither.

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years

      Rodgers

  18. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years

      It's nice

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Surely better options than Zaha

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        7.4 budget for mid ?

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Just feel Palace score too few goals and he has a habot of picking up yc

  19. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I guess the BruNO brigade have the last laugh.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      There's still a BruYes brigade?

  20. Steirish
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    How did Aaronson play today?

    1. Retired
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      In terms of FPL 1pt and a yellow card.

  21. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    5.5m for Bailey - Aaronson best option or just DaSiovs at 4.5m?

    1. No_Mo_Salah?
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      *DaSilva

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years

        This

  22. Ahmed Adam
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Dasilva is Good Option

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years

      • 4 Years

      Lmao

  24. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ronaldo has had zero involvement. He's off, isn't he?

    1. alastair
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Only if he is prepared to take a significant wage cut.

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No player is bigger than club, unless you're talking about: Messi, Le Tissier, Totti, Noble or Lewandowski.

    Who to bin Rashford for next week? 1.5m ITB, 2FT.

    Ramsdale (Ward)
    TAA Cancelo James (Trippier Neco)
    Salah Martinelli Bailey Neto Rashford
    Haaland Jesus (Archer)

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kulu

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        0.1m short

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Oh damn he went up in price, apologies

    2. Zoostation
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm moving him to Rodrigo.

    3. Dave Bauer
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m potentially looking at Rashford > Rodrigo

      But I don’t have the money in the bank so there are probably better options.

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Maddison short term

  26. WVA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Still happy with this team and structure.

    Ederson
    TAA Robbo Cancelo James Trippier
    Salah Martinelli GroB
    Haaland Jesus
    Ward Andreas Dasilve Greenwood

  27. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hoping we get a sighting of Damsgaard. Once he starts he could be a steal at 5.5m

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You think? Loved him at the Euro, but his numbers don't look impressive tbh

  28. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Assume big risk Bailey & Neto go down in price today ?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks - think I will pull the trigger and sell tonight

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Doubt it

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bailey 40K sales already

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep they will definitely drop Bailey in price

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ok cheers I usually hate doing early transfers may don’t want to risk it

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    United could go into Arsenal at home having lost all 5.

    They couldn't go down could they?

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Leicester won the title.

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      They've been there before

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      They will be fine 😉

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        They?

  30. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Credit where it's due, United have improved. Haven't conceded any goals this half.
