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.

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

    Not usually a lol guy but lofl at Utd.

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

      During the last game a poster and I agreed to watch this game (no fpl assets involved) just to laugh at United. Didn't expect this level of lolness.

  3. Herger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    That’s it. I’m supporting Newcastle from now on (can’t do City/Liverpool out of loyalty to Utd)

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

      Just keep saying you support 'United'.

      And if the Newcastle thing doesn't work our for you, there's always Leeds...

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

        TRUE

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

          Moyes would like a word

        2. NotNowKato
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Or Cambridge

    Salah captain locked in vs these donkeys

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

      Absolutely

    2. Igor! Pulis(w)ic!
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Last season, I lacked the kahunas to triple captain Salah for the 5-0. Looking tempting to punt on it for gw3.

  5. Pariße

    Posted in the wrong article. There’s no way United can transition successfully with that line-up. I expected problems but not as big as these. They can’t even move it from the goalkeeper to the defenders.

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

      The defense is one area they've spent heavily. Varane, Martinez, Maguire, Wan Bissaka....

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

      I did see you post it before question the transition. But I guess also shouldn't be a surprise by now.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks for acknowledging. Seems now that calling out any problem for United would’ve proven to be correct.

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

    KDB + Haaland -> Eriksen + Ronaldo for a -8?

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

      What was your FT?

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

        Cancelo -> Martinez

      2. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Pope to Dgea

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years

      Go for it mate (smile)

    3. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No, don't be silly...
      KDB + Haaland + TAA -> Eriksen + Ronaldo + Maguire for a -12?

  7. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Brentford fans booing Eriksen? State of them

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

      He's been there best player so far, very poor of them!

    2. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully a vocal minority.

  8. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years

    Roy Keane preparing a calm measured HT response

  9. ☈☾

    Salah TC next week then

  10. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Luvvin THIS!

  11. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years

    I think Darwin might be the one to cap when he will be parking off in UTD's box...

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

    Ten Hag there deep in thought “It seems like I'm not playing against SC Heerenveen anymore”.

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

    Which players could save United in this state and who can they realistically sign?

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      the issue is no one wants to sign for them due to the diabolical boardroom

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

      Who cares. They’re in the past and people have moved on.

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

    The only person i feel bad for in that game is Eriksen.
    U make bad decisions in your life,
    but that was absolutely clueless.
    Poor lad.

  15. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Not going with my gut and playing Dasilva sucks but ah well. Raya clean sheet would ease the pain although I doubt that'll happen

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

    Looking at bailey replacements?

    Dasilva too many 4.5s, as already have andreas and reed....

    Thanks

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

      You have two £4.5ms and a non-playing £5m, to be fair.

    2. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ignore your other players, is Dasilva a good pick or not? On current form it is yes. Having said that I would swap him for Reed

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

      You must play 3 on the bench
      If you got 5 strong D and 3 strong Fowards
      Salah or KDB

  17. ‘Tis the Season
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Just seen the United score & have one thing to say...

    LOL!

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Glazers out

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

      They need to invest some money in the playing squad

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

    Nearly feel sorry for this Martinez chap, going to be bullied every single week!

    1. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      The “butcher” is being slaughtered

  20. The Philosopher

    3 years, 7 months ago

    Eriksen's Brentford -> ManU is arguably one of the worst downgrades in football history

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

      Jensen = the new Eriksen

  21. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    This week has been such a failure apart of KDB (C) it's actually funny. My team of differentials consists of Mitrovic, Zinchenko, Digne, Aaronson and Kristensen who between them got 4 yellow cards, 1 own goal, -2 for goals conceded and 1 missed penalty. I know I can only blame myself for picking the dross but that is quite something. Maybe anti FPL is better suited for me!

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

      Man that’s some unlucky picks this weeks but congrats on KDB Captain!

  22. DandyDon

    Utd fans must be ragging, last thing they needed was De Gea back at his comical best, should have known better. One good season shouldn’t have meant they forgot his terrible form the previous years. Not like he’s a young keeper. And now they don’t even have a decent backup keeper for the rest of the season. Wonder if they can recall Henderson mid season at least!? Has to be their starting keeper next year surely.

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

      I doubt if Dean Henderson will buy that line again.

      Even Jordan would be better.

  23. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Knew I should have played Dasilva at home to Man U lol

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

    These Utd players need something more heavy than water during this water break

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

      Something more heavy like a sacking?

  25. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    ETG on a free before the window closes!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years

      Everything but the Girl?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years

        I can't spell acronym

  26. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah (C) next week for sure. Will be bigger than Jesus.

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

    Who to trade out for DaSilva?

    A) Neto
    B) Bailey

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

      Bailey has to go first I think.

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

      That's not a question. Bailey has to go first since he doesn't start.

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

      B

    4. Kabayan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

    Poor passing teams trying to play out from the back completely mystifies me.

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

    Salah EO 200% next week

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

      3 Players might be over 100%!

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

    Those buying DaSilva this week, who are you benching for him?

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

      If I do Andreas (BRE, Inj?), Archer (fodder) or Neco (EVE... depends)
