Man Utd v Brentford team news: Mata in for Rashford

Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) comes to a close this evening with Manchester United hosting Brentford at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Ralf Rangnick makes one change from the side that drew 1-1 with Chelsea in Gameweek 34, as Juan Mata comes in for Marcus Rashford, who drops to the bench.

Edinson Cavani, meanwhile, is a substitute and could feature for the first time since March.

As for the visitors, Kristoffer Ajer and Christian Norgaard return after missing the goalless draw with Tottenham Hotspur, with Saman Ghoddos and Mathias Jensen making way.

That means Christian Eriksen continues in midfield, with The Bees unbeaten in all six of the matches he has started.

However, this game comes too soon for Ethan Pinnock and Sergi Canos.


GAMEWEEK 35 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles, McTominay, Matic, Mata, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Jones, Fernandez, Fred, Lingard, Garnacho, Rashford, Cavani

Brentford XI: Raya, Ajer, Jansson, Bech, Roerslev, Janelt, Norgaard, Eriksen, Henry, Mbeumo, Toney

Subs: Fernandez, Jeanvier, Stevens, Da Silva, Jensen, Baptiste, Wissa, Fosu-Henry, Young-Coombes

    Best keeper & defender combo with £9.6 budget for GW36?

    Was looking at Eve & Lei due to back to back DGW but Matip seemingly popular it seems?!

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      maybe schmeichel and matip

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        That’s £10.1 🙁

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Look at Matip’s last 10-12 matches, there’s a reason he might be popular

      1. Evasivo
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        That’d have be be Foster and Matip for that budget tho

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Def schmeichel he has best fixtures. You could take a pint on tsmikas as he’s def going to play one of the doubles for pool

    Hmm thinking of a -8 for BB36:
    Doherty, Martinelli, Mount, Kane to
    Laporte, Gordon, KDB, Richarlison

    Means I still have Mateta and Broja but feel like these might be worthwhile moves. What do you reckon?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not worth it.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        But imagine if it worked out 😉
        I've got nothing to lose, so feel like it's a fun punt

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I would get doublers for the singles ones instead of just swapping doublers.
      Or if funds is needed KANE out so you can upgrade Doherty, mateta and Broja.
      Something like Richarlison, watkins, cancelo and Pukki if it works. If cancelo to much then Laporte.

  3. The Parrot

    Want to do Weghorst to Richarlson but need 0.6 more.

    How to fund??
    A) James to Zichenko
    B) James to Matip
    C) James to Laporte and Mount to Gordan/Maddison/Raphina
    D) James to Laporte and Kulu to Gordan/Maddison/Raphina

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      C?

      1. The Parrot
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Similar to yours above. Just not sure if it's worth losing mount and taking a hit...

        Matip + Mount + 4 v Laporte + Gordon/Maddison/Raphina...

    Rep from old thread

    How many minutes do we think these will get over the DGW?

    A: Havertz
    B: Mount

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A) 90
      B) 80

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Cheers. You feel both won't play both games of the double or sub appearance for either?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Havertz will play one full and Mount will make 60+20

  5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Would love a Toney return today to fully cement my highest rank this season, so I'm guessing it'll be a yc and little else!

    Repost from old article. Planning on BB36 and FH37.

    A) Schär >
    1) Amartey
    2) Fofana
    3) Holgate
    4) Other max 4.4m

    B) Schär and Kane for -4 > Cancelo and
    1) Jesus
    2) Richarlison
    3) Werner
    4) Other max 9.6m

    1. waltzingmatildas

      B2... Risky but like it

  7. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Any people playing FH36 then BB37? If so why ? Thanks

    1. Dennis System
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes I am. Mainly because the other way round would be insane

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Because bench rubbish ? I have foster, smartey , Broja & chabolah!!

  8. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Eyeing up a cheeky Salah>Son(c), Watkins>Vardy -4 for GW38

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Too risky for me

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      If you’re chasing go for it! Not sure I’d move Watkins tho to vardy tho his game time will be very limited I think

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Spurs will be number four by then with nothing to play for and Leicester nothing to play for. I would like to have SON but not the expense of Salah. Liverpool most likely plays for the title.

  9. popey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    bottomed on last post

    How would you spend 1.7m to improve this bb team (currently planned to be -4, with Kasper/Nket in for Forster/Gelhardt)

    Will FH 37

    Rams, (Kasper)
    TAA, Rudiger, Cancelo (Fofana, B Davies)
    Salah, Saka, Foden, Mount,Maddison
    Watkins, Nketiah (Pukki)

    a) Nketiah/Mount could be Jesus/Kulu (exact funds)
    b) Fofana (won't play 2) to Laporte (also exact funds)
    c) other?

    Brentford goal incoming

  11. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    FPL 2022/23 preseason bandwagon Mitrovic scored twice in a 7-0 win today, scoring his 43rd of the season.

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      mentally, already signed up for banking a 0.2 loss on him in GW5 panic WC

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        And then he goes on a 5 game streak(probably his only streak of the season) before people buy for more disappointment in GW9 again.

    Brunooooo

    Nice parting gift

    Love to see it oh yes I do

    Do u love to see it too?

    1. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I love to see you owning Bruno

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Last couple of weeks of owning him have been bad but this goal and captaining him the two January DGWs overall he has been good when I've owned him

        The first dgw was especially huge

        1. Union_Jacks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Was also on board for that one! Have luckily been without him last couple weeks until this one 😀

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yeah mate. Great parting gift. Makes up for the dross last few weeks a bit.

    3. Roy Hudd
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      How and more importantly why does anyone still have Bruno?...crikey *face palm*

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        They like the taste of mud?

  15. @persecuted_by_mods
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Salivating over the incoming Bruno price drop for next season, especially if Ronaldo leaves and he's the main man again

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Got to wonder where Ronaldo will actually go though

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Bayern and back to Madrid is being touted. Can't see him staying at Man Utd as Messi will slowly but surely overtake his champions League goal record otherwise, and will have done it in less games

            1. ZimZalabim
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              heard abt the back to madrid rumours which I thought make sense, but havent seen the Bayern ones. That looks like a interesting one, Lewandowski leaving for barca it seems and its an easy league for ronaldo to get his goals and get his UCL football and hell add another league title from another European Country so sounds like a great option for him if Bayern are actually interested, not sure how much actual interest there is from them.

              What about PSG as a shout to try and get him and Messi together for a season ? Or do you think its become too toxic now ?

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  1 year, 11 months ago

                  I think Bayern is the best bet, can stat pad, get goals in the champions League, win another title in a different league

                  Psg are unbalanced enough as it is, they can't add another ego not tracking back that said they don't get football and will probably just throw money at it

        2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years

          Bruno essential

        3. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Needed that with Bruno(c).

        4. SouthCoastSaint

          Bruno points. Madness

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          If you had Son would you keep or go for De Bruyne?

          If I keep Son I can afford Foden.

          Thanks

          1. Union_Jacks
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            I’d like KDB but will just have to settle for what I have in Salah and Son

          Bruno out this week for foden hope he doesn’t go on a rampage after having him for five weeks and doing absolutely nothing only whinging!

        10. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years

          Latest thinking raph, Werner, Kane & Broja to salah, pukki, Nketiah & Richarlison -8? Thanks

        11. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years

          What would you do in my position?

          Sa
          TAA/Robbo/Cancelo/Laporte/James
          Jota/Foden/Saka/Coutinho
          Kane

          Dubravka/Fraser*/Dobbin*/Broja
          1ft 1.4itb

          a)FH in gw36(means Kdb(c)+ Salah+Son+others) and get Son in gw37.
          b)Kane+Jota->Richarlison+Salah(c) and FH in gw37 but no Kane or Son for gw37/gw38.I can't see a way to get at least one of them.I hope you can.

          Bruno to KDB -4

          Success!

            Same here. Not too bitter about being rid of that rat faced troll though.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Bruno (C) goal worth 50K rank each time... Still going to be shipping him out for the Citeh double.

        14. The Mighty Hippo
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Before I go ahead and activate the chip, how does this draft FH team look for gw36?

          Ramsdale
          Robertson | Laporte | Alonso | Matip
          Salah | KDB | Son | Foden | Saka
          Richarlison

          The bench would be pretty weak.

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Why Ramsdale? He will concede. Will Alonso play both? Midfield looks great

        15. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Pick one:

          A) Nketiah Cancelo Holgate
          B) Richarlison Mykolenko Tavares

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              1 year, 11 months ago

              A for Cancelo, he's always close to a haul

            • The Mighty Hippo
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              Option A looks stronger.
