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.

    Wouldn't mind Elanga wiping Raya's clean sheet.

    Every little helps.

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

      Not looking likely

    2. Coldplay

      3 years, 8 months ago

      Raya cs the only thing that I can take solace from that match! Don't take that away from me

  2. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ten Hag doesn't have the players to play his Ajax system.

    Easy bet for first manager to be sacked this season.

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Unless it's really bad, I don't think they will, they're invested now.

    2. lilmessipran

      Lampard says Hi

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

      A good manager would adapt his style

  3. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I think Brentford will win this

  4. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Walker or Cucurella for a starter for the next 5-6? Both have decent fixtures.

    (Don’t have James / Cancelo….)

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Walker for now unless cucu confirmed ?

    1. Sun God Nika

      What’s original team

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

        That is the original team

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Misread sorry!
          Hard to assess until end of gw

          Pretty solid team

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

      Saka out looks obvious. Also Foden injured so wait for news.

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

        Yea, will wait. Thanks.

  7. ☈☾

    Ten Hag should leave and save himself

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

      I'd sooner be sacked and paid, personally.

  8. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Bailey for Dasilva?

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Other way around.

      1. Stranger Mings

        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeh defo if other way round !

    McTominay YC

    Didn't one of the posters need that for a bet?

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

      Haha. I was just thinking the same 🙂

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes! Just need another card in the game now, not sure it'll happen at this stage but I can hope

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Rashford to the rescue!

    3. ☈☾

      yeah NateDog lol

  10. moz_1983

    McTominay yellow! Where's the guy with the accumulator gone?! 🙂

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ah you're all too helpful!

  11. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years

    A few changes needed here, 2ft 0.0itb any ideas?

    Ward
    Taa cancelo cucurella
    Salah son aaronson Bailey
    Haaland Jesus

    Iversen dalot neco archer

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably downgrade Bailey and upgrade Dalot.

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, do you not think it makes my starting 11 a bit weak?

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

      Bailey -> Dasilva

  12. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    United deserve credit for fighting back. Despite the level of crap quality, they have dug deep and not conceded for at least 30 mins. Well done united

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

      Thank you mate

  13. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sell Neto for:

    A) Martinelli (have Jesus)
    B) Rodrigo
    C) other mid up to 6.8

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

      A

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say martinelli over Rodrigo until/unless arsenal rotation kicks in

  14. Dreaming of glory
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rushford punt worth moving over for a Rodrigo punt given he's only 6m and has started well for Leeds?

    Have martinelli already so think it's an easy move atm right?

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

      Yeh I am also thinking Rodrigo

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

    I stopped watching, presumably the Dasilva sub was just for rest and not injury? I don't even want to look at sancho in my team for another minute! I'm thinking to free up some funds with Sancho to Dasilva

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would look a bit further and get Rodrigo instead 😉

      1. Nerdlinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It's a 3m bank job though! I've got 2ft this week and he's looked excellent value with amazing fixtures

  16. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Advantage given which is good,
    but when brentford then deliver a bad pass without interference, they should play on imo and not go back to the foul...

  17. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    McTominay, really hate this guy.
    He never worries about his opponents when he is late and injures them. No questions, no apologies. Unfair sportsman.

    On top of that he's a really awful footballer.

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I rate his work rate, but I agree, he is one of the worst tacklers out there. With very little self awareness

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

    Dave Saves earning his £350k per week there!

  19. Vermeerish
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I’m baffled by Man U set up. Eriksen and Fred to shield of an average defence BONKERS

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

    Raya 8 pointer.

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

      Anyone benching him?

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ward should accumulate that by the time the world cup starts

  21. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What's the fancy then, Bailey to Rodrigo or DaSilva?

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

    Rashford and Bailey stinking up my team. Nothing a -4 can't correct, right?

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

      Haha same, I'm selling for Martinelli and GroB as I have 0.5 ITB

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

      Sancho and Bailey in mine.

      >> Maddison and Rodrigo for -4.

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

    Does anyone actually own Ronaldo? (apart from Ben Mee)

  24. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who is your busteam captain gw3? Jesus vs Bournmouth sound jummy, or Salah vs....

  26. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any reason to hang onto Bailey?

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

      Absolutely not

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, I think he will be fine in the end. Plus he's not Rashford!

  27. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I wouldn't get rid of Bailey too soon. Think he will be back for the next games.

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

      He will be benched again and again and again

  28. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Relegation favourites?

    A. Saints
    B. Everton
    C. Man utd

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      CBA in that order.

      Along with Notts. Fulham & B'mouth will fight to stay alive

  29. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best 5m mid for Bailey?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Da Silva for Rashford for me now

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think there are quite a few 5.5s (soon to be 5.4) that look interesting. e.g. Damsgaard at Brentford could be good was execllent in the euros, Olise, Ramsey also come to mind. Wait for someone to emerge. For now you wont do much better than Bailey for the price. Not a priority transfer.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        also Aaronson, Gordon look well priced.

        For 5m i'd punt on Dewsbury hall - was involved today, but again better to wait an asset from one of the promoted teams may emerge

      2. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Have 2FT and nothing else to do with them. Team fine only question next to Bailey.
