The biggest Gameweek of the season kicks off on a barmy Friday night on the south coast as Brighton host second-placed Manchester United.

Fantasy managers will be focused on the away side, despite the absence of their most popular asset, striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian misses out through injury as Jose Mourinho hands starting roles to Marcus Rashford and Antony Martial in his front three. Juan Mata also comes into a much-changed line-up as Alexis Sanchez is omitted from the squad.

Significantly, Paul Pogba is named on the teamsheet once again. United’s form player, the Frenchman has three goals and an assist from his last four starts and goes into tonight’s match as the fourth most signed play having been snapped up by 140,000+ managers ahead of the deadline.

Elsewhere for United, Chris Smalling could be a key figure against a Brighton defence that has proved vulnerable at set-plays. The Seagulls have conceded 20 goals, including 14 from corners – more than any other side. Smalling has three goals in his last seven starts and top scored in the previous Double Gameweek with 15 points.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        7 years, 7 months ago

        Playing bench boost and I suspect that I had 2 non starters also needed get rid of Lukaku so I went full tilt

        Good luck this week

            Knew you wouldn't get rid of Salah suspected that it would be Vardy making way for Jesus

            I reckon Laporte / Smalling will only get game this week

          Only in GW 38. Cost me a double clean sheet and bonus 2 seasons ago. Still rage at that one.

            • 9 Years

            That cost me my mini league by 1 point after captaining Giroud for the last day hat trick. Still lose sleep.

    Sometimes I lay in bed and wonder if there is super glue under Jafooli's punctuation key

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Something stickier than that

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 13 Years

        Stickier than superglue?

  12. Revival

  17. Monkey Hanger

    Has Jose said anything about Sanchez not being in the squad?

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

      MUTV have said he's injured.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Is it serious?

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Think his words were 'Lukaku and Alexis are of course injured'.

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

      Unspecified injury confirmed by Utd

    4. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Obviously because he doesn't have a world cup place to fight for

  21. Flying Finns
    • 10 Years

    Turns out all my main money mini league rivals went with Kane TC. Make or break decision for me to go with Jesus triple captain.

      • 8 Years

      Our ml rival does very weird decisions but some how they pay off. This week only he has madw some decent decisions. He even once did a hokey-cokey of Alonso and Christensen for 2 weeks lool
      And is ranked 50k

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        1. FFSbet.com
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          But he said 60% on City and 40% Kane tbf

  24. DAZZ
