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.

    As a DDG only owner, I wanted United to concede.

    But not to a Gross goal!

      United will score. They only start playing when they go a goal down.

    2. Regin

      I have no united player. And my rival has DDG and smalling. Couldn't be happier with this goal

      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      ???
      How can you bench someone for a hit?

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        7 years, 7 months ago

        Murray to Ayew for a -4 would have meant benching GroB.

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

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      You cannot second guess players of this sort. You either get them and keep them or you don't get them at all.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm taking a break next year

    Disaster of a result for Jesus/Sterling cappers.

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years

      Why?

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

        Brighton safe.

        Pep doesn't need to stay respecting the relegation battle.

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        rotation if BRI are safe. Pep wont have to worry about respecting the relegation battle by fielding a strong team if BRI cant go down.

  22. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Gross goal is the very worst that could happen.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      or the best....depends on one's circumstances.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yep even worse when you took him out for a hit for Lingard

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