No Sanchez for United as Lukaku makes first start

7,935 Comments

Brighton and Hove Albion entertain Manchester United in the late-afternoon match, with Alexis Sanchez‘s (£10.5m) omission from Jose Mourinho’s match-day squad the headline news.

The United boss confirmed the Chilean midfielder, the ninth-most captained player of Gameweek 2, misses the trip to Brighton through injury.

Romelu Lukaku (£11.0m) gets his first league start of the season, as do Ashley Young (£6.0m) and Anthony Martial (£7.4m). Matteo Darmian (£5.0m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) make way.

Paul Pogba (£8.1m), the fifth-most bought player of Gameweek 2, captains United once more.

The Seagulls’ only two changes from the side that lost to Watford are in the full-back department: Bernardo and the injured Bruno being replaced by Gaetan Bong and debutant Martin Montoya (all £4.5m).

That Dale Stephens (£4.5m) is the most-owned Brighton player in FPL, sitting in 10% of squads, says much about the Fantasy community’s faith in the Seagulls this afternoon. Stephens is also the fifth-most benched player of Gameweek 2: over 84% of his owners have opted against playing the budget midfielder.

Brighton XI: Ryan, Montoya, Dunk, Duffy, Bong, Propper, Stephens, Gross, March, Knockaert, Murray

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Young, Bailly, Lindelof; Shaw, Pereira, Fred, Pogba, Martial, Mata, Lukaku

    Looks like Option A)

    FPL Decision Tree:

    A) If Kun starts/ benched AND Mee loses CS = 1FT to Alonso

    B) If Kun starts/ benched AND Mee keeps CS = 1FT Jota to Richarlison/ Wally/ Mhki/ Rambo/ Madison/ Kante.

    C) If Kun dropped (i.e. not benched) AND Mee loses CS = 2FT change to Aub and Alonso.

    D) If Kun dropped (i.e. not benched) AND Mee keeps CS = 2FT change to Aub and Jota to Bilva.

    Feeling relieved deferring most of the transfer decision making to FPL Fate.

            he got the last touch, he might have had intention of doing it anyway - I don't see how is this less of an assist in terms of Sanchez and Shaw atm (yes I'm aware that the rules support their assists more)
