Blank Gameweek 34 concludes this evening with Manchester United v Brentford.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

There are two changes for United this evening, one of which is enforced.

Matheus Cunha is absent from the Red Devils’ matchday squad, so Amad Diallo comes into the side.

The other alteration sees Harry Maguire return from suspension and take the place of Noussair Mazraoui.

Leny Yoro has recovered from injury to make the bench.

Also among the United substitutes is Patrick Dorgu, making his comeback after a three-month absence.

Brentford are unchanged from Gameweek 33.

The Bees have their own (very!) long-term absentee on the substitutes’ bench.

Josh Dasilva hasn’t featured for over two years due to a significant knee injury but is back in the visitors’ squad tonight.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Mbeumo; Sesko.

Subs: Bayindir, Dorgu, Malacia, Mazraoui, Yoro, Mount, Ugarte, Lacey, Zirkzee.

Brentford XI: Kelleher; Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Yarmoliuk, Jensen, Damsgaard; Schade, Thiago, Ouattara.

Subs: Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, Dasilva, Nelson, Ajer, Donovan, Furo, Shield.

    Bruno needs 1 more A to equal KDB & Henry

    1. Nomar

      He’s v going to pass them easily

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Yep! Level with Ozil right now

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Should do it against Liverpool

  2. Ady87

    Frightening sight to see Bruno bearing down on the box with space and runners. You know he’s finding someone every time.

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      If he had shot, he would've scored. But wants that assist record

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 28 days ago

        Yeah got that feeling for the Sesko goal.

  3. oi no professionals

    Didn’t captain Bruno, do his points hurt my rank? Was he over 100% EO?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      169 - 190% EO

      1. oi no professionals
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 28 days ago

        Yeah I’m cooked

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Yep

  4. Utopsis
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    The 1st chance Thiago wasted is unforgivable for a man with 20 PL goals.

    Perfect pad, good 1st touch, on his right foot, in the box, clear sight of goal.

    What more do you want man??

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      pass*

  5. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Painful moments as a Mbeumo, Thiago and Dango owner. How on earth didn't they get any points.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Mbuemo unlucky than Bruno picked Sesko.
      Thiago wasteful like prime Timo Werner.
      Dango stupid enough to be passing to Thiago.

  6. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    My bench on FH

    Bruno, Gabriel, Saliba lol

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Umm

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      What was the thought behind benching Bruno? 1st in the captain poll

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 28 days ago

        I had nothing to lose. Needed to make up ground so there was no point in using FH and picking players with 100% EO

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      I always do that on BB. Better GK and 2md, 3rd and 4th best players.

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Casemiro first on my bench, started Xavi and Solanke, feels stupid now lol

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Hindsight is a beautiful thing

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Casemiro already goal + defcon
    Gonna be like the 5th highest scoring midfielder and I don't think I've ever once considered him this season, even on FH!

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      A bit like MGW
      Seems to have come from nowhere
      But quietly stacking up the points

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      I've considered him about 4 times

      But including on FH ended up with hot picks like Salah and Gakpo etc

    3. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Dark horse!

  9. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    FLOL Amad tugged, Maz on

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      He won the tackle for Sesko goal. Bit harsh

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      deserved. awful showing.

    3. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Needs to learn offside rule before playing profesional football.

    4. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Strong decision from Carrick

  10. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Dango if ya fancy scoring another goal in your career that’d be nice

  11. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Thiago is so bad. Just lounging in an obviously offside position.. I stand by my comment that hes the worst player ever whos somehow scored 20+ goals in a season.

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Did Rickets get 20?

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      He’s certainly patchy, but bad players do not get 20 goals in a Prem season.

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 28 days ago

        Kevin Phillips?

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 28 days ago

          Andy Johnson?

          Both kind of bad strikers

        2. Gubby-Allen
          • 4 Years
          1 month, 28 days ago

          He was the golden boot winner. Top scorer in Europe that season, whatever they call that

          1. JBG
            • 8 Years
            1 month, 28 days ago

            I know that. My point was neither where actually THAT good considering how bad they where after that one season

        3. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 28 days ago

          Kevin Philips wasnt bad.. Certainly much better than Thiago

          1. JBG
            • 8 Years
            1 month, 28 days ago

            Wouldn't say much better. But Thiago is at the club level he should be imo.

  12. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Need a Brentford goal so badly!!

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      *Thiago

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        1 month, 28 days ago

        This! From anyone actually just to wipe the Utd cleanie, stuffy rivals with bench jam otherwise

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Especially if Thiago scores it

  13. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    I enjoy this feeling having started Semenya, Debravka and Hill.

    Ranking should rocket up when the auto subs come in.

  14. NZREDS
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Bruno is 100% getting that assist record, imagine the number if he wasn’t played OOP under the imposter

  15. Punty McPuntface
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    I have WC, TC and BB left...what do i do?!

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      I did too so using WC at the moment.

    2. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Hahah that’s so good, GW 35 and still have all 3. TC 36, BB chose a week. WC for some fun on 38?

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Maybe WC GW35, use BB in GW36 if a DGW, last day fun with TC in GW38

  16. NZREDS
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Mainoo to start for England?

  17. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Bruno limping

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      🙁

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 28 days ago

        He’s fine

        1. Effe
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 28 days ago

          🙂

    Brentford finishing is woeful.

  19. JBG
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    A MU player would probably get a RC for that high kick, despite no connection

  20. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Though watch as Dango owner.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Every gameweek bud, every gameweek

  21. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    You have to be kidding me

  22. el polako
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Dang it.

  23. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Is Lammens for £18m signing of the season?

    He defuses everything so calmly.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Helps to be replacing Lemons

  24. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    KDH and Heaven on bench 🙁

  25. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Thiago booked 😡

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Thiago YC

  27. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Ffs this is shocking as an Mbeumo Thiago and Dango owner

  28. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Mbeumo has to be a contender for most disappointing FPL asset of the season. What a shocking waste of a spot. Can’t wait to see him missing from my team post-WC this week

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      1 month, 28 days ago

      He did well for me earlier in the season, but he's looked a shell of his former self the last couple of months. I'm not sure what's happened to him.

  29. JBG
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Lol Dango and Thiago YCs.

    Oh well, at least MU are getting that much closer to secure CL spot and Bruno assist record

  30. el polako
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 28 days ago

    Thiago, Dango, Mbuemo & Bruno in this game.
    To say I feel disappointed is to say nothing.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 28 days ago

      Same with Kelleher, beyond abysmal
