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.

    If you can't play out from the back you can't be making them mistakes...

  4. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Every week I’m optimistic and every week I’m disappointed

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Same.... Sadly.

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You have optimism left?! Mine ran out about 4 years ago

  5. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    That's a OG, surely?

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years

      How?!!

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I'm just joking. Horrible mistake by DDG.

    2. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Shot was on target

    I say this line literally every season but I should definitely listen to my gut feeling more often and just live with it, no matter the consequences.

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Had Dasilva since the beginning. Still will likely never play.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Great fixtures

  11. onceuponatyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Lot of hyperbole being flung about.
    Nothing wrong with that United side.
    Only needs about 14/15 new players in.

  12. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I hope that guy chose to watch this game rather than bbq with his neighbour

  13. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    May WC just to get the Bailey to DaSilva price rise, get Martinelli and Darwin

  14. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    De Gea more like De sabled

  15. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Well this Bailey replacement looks like it'll solve itself lol.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He won’t play utd every week

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

        True 😆

    2. Strchld
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Welcome DaSilva

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Was only a sub vs. Leicester last week

  16. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Cue Bailey owners transferring him out for Dasilva only for him to be dropped next week for new signing Damsgard.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't see why people are saying that...they don't play the same positions

  17. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Oldie but a goldie

    LOLchester LOLnited

    1. maglia rosa
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don’t think I’ll ever feel sorry for Utd fans after how insufferable (the young ones imparticular) were in the 90’s. But I have to admit I’m starting to edge that way.

  18. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Missed games earlier. Why was Foden subbed early?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Got to be a slight injury I'd say

    2. Kane Train
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He’s not injured was just subbed off to give Grealish some game time

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'm worried we might see a lot of that from Pep this season.

      1. Kane Train
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yep especially now with 5 subs. More players will be getting less game time and will want to leave the big clubs

  19. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Question is who goes first. Neto or Bailey

    1. trafalgarlaw
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Same as me, Neto/Bailey for Dasilva

  20. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Dasilva last on bench!

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

    Which influencer

    Itk on here

    Was advocating to captain Jesus?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Pope

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      More were advocating to sell.

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No one.

  22. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bruno to infinity and beyond... Row z that is

  23. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone not captaining Salah next week?

    Do it at your own peril. 😛

    1. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The way United are playing. No brainer mate. Bourmouth are a tougher opposition

  24. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    You know you have a good 4.5 midfielder when he is sitting on your bench with 6 points and the match is not even done yet.

  25. joeri3000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How would you change this team around? 2 FT + 0.5 in the bank

    Mendy/4.0

    TAA/James/Cancelo/Zinch/Perisic
    Salah/Martinelli/Bsilva/Bailey/Andreas
    Haaland/Jesus/4.5

    Bsilva/Baily seem the most obvious, but unsure to whom to upgrade.

  26. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How long does Ten Hag get?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ten games

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ten games

    3. maglia rosa
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Utd need to do what Arteta did and just get rid of the idiots who rot the dressing room and start again.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        100%

        Not sure their fans have the stomach for it though. Most I know live in ignorance of just how bad they really are.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          The ex Man Utd player pundits don't help with expecting the club to challenge like they did when they played.

          1. Scots Gooner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Agreed.

            Rio and Neville need a reality check.

    4. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Half time

  27. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    The crowd are great. Encouraging all the players to shoot from anywhere.

  28. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Play one next gw

    A. Saliba (bou)

    Or

    B. Da Silva (ful)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Let the game finish

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A but 55-60/40-45

  29. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Da Silva looks quite bright. I really want to get him but I don't want to make a transfer until everyone has played just in case...

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The rotation with Andreas looks on to me

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Hits are cheap this early. Bailey to Da Silva tonite for me. Perisic and Rashford are issues atm.

  30. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    This is going to be special!
