David McGoldrick (£5.2m) will be hoping to add Manchester United to his big six scalps this season.

The Blades midfield has a familiar look, with John Lundstram (£4.9m), John Fleck (£5.6m) and Oliver Norwood (£4.6m) in central midfield. Kean Bryan (£3.9m) and George Baldock (£4.9m) start at wing-back.

Phil Jagielka (£3.9m), Chris Basham (£4.6m) and Ethan Ampadu (£4.3m) start at centre-back, with Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m) in goal.

James Rodriguez (£7.7m) and Richarlison (£7.8m) join DCL. Tom Davies and Andre Gomes (£5.3m) line-up in midfield.

Lucas Digne (£6.0m) and Mason Holgate (£4.8m) start in defence, with Yerry Mina (£5.6m) and Michael Keane (£5.1m) and Ben Godfrey (£5.0m). Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) continues in goal.

Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) continues in a false nine role for Leicester in the absence of Jamie Vardy (£10.0m).

James Maddison (£7.2m), Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) line-up behind Perez.

Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) start in the heart of the Leicester midfield.

James Justin (£5.0m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) line-up at full-back, with Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.5m) at centre-back. Kasper Schmeichel (£5.5m) plays in goal.

Neal Maupay (£6.1m) leads the line for Brighton tonight in a six-pointer at the bottom of the table.

Supporting Maupay are Leandro Trossard (£5.7m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£5.3m), with Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) and Pascal Groß (£5.8m) in midfield.

Joel Veltman (£4.3m) and Solly March (£5.0m) are selected at wing-back. Ben White (£4.4m) moves back into defence, with Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) and Andy Webster (£4.4m).

Robert Sanchez (£4.4m) is Brighton’s number one.

Ivan Cavaleiro (£4.3m) continues in a false-nine role for Scott Parker’s Fulham side.

Either side of Cavaleiro will be Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.3m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m).

Frank Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) and Harrison Reed (£4.4m) start in midfield for the Cottagers.

Ola Aina, Tosin Adarabioyo, Joachim Andersen and Kenny Tete start in defence. Summer signing Alphonse Areola (£4.5m) is in goal.

    Martinez and Grealish continue to deliver 10 pts week in week out. Love their consistency

      Look again

        Generally they average 10-15

    Party Time was in a tight FPL Cup battle. Martinez vs Lookman. Martinez didn't deliver though.

    Ok lets go

    Bruno
    Rash

    Big night

    Was set on doing Grealish and Vardy to Gundo and Kane but Grealish scoring has made things more difficult.. ahhhhh

    1. Juza
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This. Each time I'm about to sell him, he returns.. .

  6. OverTinker

    As a DDG and AWB owner (Bruno C ofcourse) and a City fan I'd love a 0-0 result. Highly unlikely though.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years

      Title is yours already, just enjoy the FPL as well

  7. JohnnyRev7

    Just noticed my FPL total points score after yesterday.

    It's 1111 (no exclamation marks).

    I smiled.

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years

      1110 🙁

  8. Rainer

    It’s all falling for Andy this season 😮

    3 digit rank dream is on!

    1. Mr. O'Connell

      Someone needs to hack his account

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They already did. How else do you explain this?

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Bold Fred.

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years

      Literally every single decision from him the last few weeks. Unreal

    3. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ye he should buy a lottery ticket - obscene luck last few weeks but he deserves it. Super nice guy, works really hard and produces excellent content.

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Fernandes captained by 2.7 million managers
    That’s 5.1 million non-captained him

    Let’s go Bruno!!!

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      😆

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Roughly that's how many dead teams are in the game then!

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True, but a lot are beating me 🙂

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Oddly in a h2H league I'm playing someone ranked almost 6 million and still active - captain Maupay. It's a league from a Palace forum 🙂

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The return of penandes tonight

      • Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        My cup opponent is in top 100k and doesn't own Bruno. I need a big haul from him this eve as he has both Son and Kane

    4. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Interesting than Rodgers has still not put Ricardo and Soyuncu back in the XI

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Don't think he can drop Justin the way he's been playing. Can see Ricardo getting his minutes in Europa and cups.

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Can’t drop those preforming.

        Great competition/back up to have.

      3. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fofana and Justin can do no wrong

      4. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fair enough
        They’re playing well without them

        1. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          True, Ricardo in RM or RB over Castagne wouldnt be bad though

      5. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Don't change a winning team?

        Saw some stats though re Albrighton. Leicester's record when Albrighton plays is significantly better than when he doesn't this season.

        1. Alisson WondHaaland
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Fair enough. He isnt playing today though lol

          1. Alisson WondHaaland
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Ignore me sorry

      6. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ricardo will be back in the team in October.

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Everton v Leicester will be an interesting watch to see who I want next week

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I hope DCL doesnt do too well so he stays under the radar

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          You're kidding . He's on almost everyone's radar.

          1. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I’m thinking Richarlison, Digne, Barnes

      2. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Digne could be my sneaky cap next week.

    6. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Of course the moment I ask it ends with 5 goals!! 😀

    7. Rash
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Won't even be able to celebrate any attacking returns from skipper bruno with an EO as high as that.

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Still 20% away from 200%, so you can to an extent. Just nothing amazing. Does take away the fun of owning him, though.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          The assister might take the EO of the goal over the 200%.

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wrong
        Doesn’t work like that

      3. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        More people don’t own him, than do
        A lot of dead teams will be above you too

      4. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have Rashford also 🙂

      5. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Are you in the top 10k? For years people with no idea about EO just randomly wish for blanks from their players based on the top 10k ownership? Figure out a plan to get closer to the top 10K before worrying about their ownership.

        1. Rash
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          38k currently

      6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Any TC ers i wonder

      7. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cup opponent does have Bruno - Two nearest ML rivals have captained different player
        Want Bruno to get lots of returns and will celebrate each point

    8. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Crazy that a midfield of Soucek + Gundogan + Saka + Raphinha + McNeil would have cost you 27.3m and have netted 68 points this GW! 5.x all the way!

      1. Superflymonk
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True, but only for this gameweek. Highly doubt they can replicate those results over 10 gameweeks.

        1. Konstaapeli
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Saka can!

    9. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Record captaincy? Perfectly set up for pen miss and early sub then

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That's fine though. Barely impacts rank.

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I mean, would still rather not... points are points

    10. faux_C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just me with the Ben Mee points? 😆

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Bloody hell, well done mate! An under the radar pick. Burnley always good for a clean sheet, and Mee always good for a goal. He's in my post DGW26 plans.

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Probably just me with the Lowton point

      3. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I was being cheapskate and thought why get Mee when I can save money. Then went for Lowton over Pieters too 😀

    11. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is a bench of Dallas, Mitchell and Brewster viable for the next few Gameweeks?

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely. I think a minimum of 2 starting players is enough for a bench.

      2. Juza
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Same bench here

    12. puhd
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve got to get rid of James Reece. For who?
      Got Dallas, Dias, Coufal, Targett

      A- Stones
      B- Cancelo
      C- another?

    13. REDMOND IN SANDALS
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martial playing through the middle let's go !!

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ramsdale owner?

    14. PogChamp
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno owner. Blank please.

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Didn't captain?

        1. PogChamp
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah Sterling.

    15. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Part one ok Rashford starts.

      Part two is which one turns up, the full of life one or the cant be arsed lope about on the wing one

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds more like Martial tbh

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Both capable of loping!

    16. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rage transferred McCarthy out to Martinez last night, tempted to reverse it now

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You have serious issues if you're raging when in the top 1k.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          It becomes an obsession...

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Dilemma for me - do I drop Martinez for Guaita (v Wolves) this weekend?

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          nah mate

          Palace defence is all over the shop right now.

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldn’t

      3. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Doing those low risk/low reward random defensive/GK transfers is a real problem for me I've noticed recently for me. Got to prioritize the big transfers and make them as late as possible.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I know, Martinez was killing me every week

    17. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Digne starting at LW, do you think he would continue to be played there ?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        LWB, yeah.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers

    18. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oh ffs, Areola on my bench and already outscoring Martinez 🙁

    19. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Crazy how only a month or so ago the aim of the game was to squeeze as many premiums in as possible but now everyones going for 10m ITB

    20. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Only Slabhead can save my week now

    21. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So basically Bruno points does nothing for anyone today right

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Got a rival who captained Sterling. Wouldn't mind outscoring him.

      2. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not everyone has him and not everyone has him captain. And many of those will be ahead of you. So, points mean something, even if it's little. In the end, points gets you higher.

    22. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Areola on my bench next to soucek feel another heartbreak coming ...

    23. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rather start Areola(wba) or Martinez(sou) next week?

      Leaning towards the Fulham man tbh

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I would

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        v Baggies - definitely

    24. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Everton has to score, a Leicester own goal is better.
