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

    Ronaldo currently level with Kane...

        Stop posting rubbish comments. Even Dennis has more points as it stands.

          Remember Hazz, anything is possible

            I dream about the ignore feature every day.

            1. SEXY SALAH

              You can ignore, called a filter

      Should get to 20+ goals for the season, not bad given the team issues

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Very respectable considering he is "washed".

  2. C_G

    hows Toney looked today? Should I get rid?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      If he can’t score vs Man Utd then I’d say it’s time to get rid

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      He's been OK, few half chances but little more

  3. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Ronnie scored a goal and not one Siiiiiiiuuuu. Shows the ownership.

    1. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      I have him in my 4th team, just remembered

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

        Only Ruth_NZ is allowed to have 4 teams.

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 days ago

          I deleted one so I have 3 - phew!

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years

      Probably just realised it's embarrassing

    3. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Maybe after his loss he ain’t in full siuuuu mode!

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Yet

  4. Biggsy

    If you can't stretch to Watkins or Richarlison, who are the budget forwards of choice?
    Was always set on Pukki and Dennis but now the time has come for those moves it doesn't feel like great use of transfers.
    Nketiah obvious one but probably won't work as have 3 Arsenal.

  5. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    What to do with Ronaldo and Elanga?

    Man Utd don’t double in 36 and I’m planning to FH37

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      It depends what you can do with them if you shifted them out. Neither fixture is too shabby in 36 and 38.

      1. J to the T
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Can get
        KdB and Dennis
        Kane and Gordon
        Jesus and Foden

        Thoughts on those options?

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 days ago

          First two look good

        2. The Movement
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 days ago

          Son and Nkeitah / Dennis

  6. Jock Grealish

    G VARANE

    1. SEXY SALAH

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years

        TELLES

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

        Telles I think

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 days ago

          Thanks both

  7. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years

    Any news about Saka & Richarlison injuries?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Both fine

  8. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    What a nice surprise.
    Telles with a potential 12-point haul!

    1. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      You know it’s your week when that happens!

  9. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Why do I have Pukki & Toney stinking up my squad?

  10. Tango74
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Can’t wAit till next season , 5 subs more chance your benched playing will come on

    1. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Will FPL give us 5 subs too?

  11. Hazz

    United fans were due to walkout on 73 minutes to protest the Glazers.

    Except they're winning for once, so now they don't fancy it.

    Nice protest lads 😆

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Typical ManU

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      If Glazers don’t realise they need to spend some money by now then nothing’s going to work anyway. Been waving Norwich scarfs around for ages.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        They've spent the most money in the last 10 years... Money isn't the issue.

      2. Mighty Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Never understood this argument.

        Can't help but think anyone who says this is a sheep.

        United have probably spent more than most other clubs.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Ridiculous so-called fans. The ownership ain't changing. Give it up with the meaningless "protests". These people are too much.

    4. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      They left on 89 though due to roadworks and no trains…

  12. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Just waiting for my Toney yc to round off the night

    1. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Can’t see him taking his shirt off in celebration tbh

  13. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Any news on White? I’m going to BB36

  14. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Sold Telles for cash.

    I still think it was the right move

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Same and same.

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Just cannot get annoyed about those ones.

        Telles was appalling vs arsenal. No sign he would start and get 12

  15. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Telles, Bruno(c) and Gabriel’s 11 in for KDB has given me a lifeline. Could do with another return but my ML just got spicy again.

  16. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Would you - 4 Kane & Havertz to Son & Richarlison?

    1. The Movement
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Not too sure, maybe Havertz to either Saka or Foden and keep Kane?

  17. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Of course I've got Broja & Mateta ahead of Telles on my bench coming in for Trent hahahaha

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      bit stupid really

    2. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      I am surprised to played TAA ahead of Telles anyway. Telles is world class and will walk into Liverpool back 4 easily. In fact when he retires in many years I see him becoming manager of Liverpool and surpassing Klopps success.

  18. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Glad I transferred Telles out.

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Wtf, David de gea might actually score me some points

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      5 saves now...1 more come on!

  20. SINGH
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    So basically I got to wait and see if Leic is out of Europe then I will keep Maddy as he will play remaining games. If they go through then I take out and bring in Foden for DGW

    1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      I cant see him plying sunday if they stay in or go out

  21. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Richarlison on 3 blue arrows on fplstatistics, despite no news yet re. if he'll be banned.. (albeit some may be free hitters)

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      he won't be

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

      These early rises are annoying e.g. Jesus last night despite UCL still to go, Foden looking likely before then etc.

    3. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      A ban would be ridiculous

  22. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Great transfer!"Erik ten Hag would approve of the signing of James Ward-Prowse to strengthen the Manchester United midfield this summer."

    1. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      That's if Ten Haag makes it to the Jan 2023 transfer window

  23. The Movement
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    Hello Guys Please choose from 1 the following for DGW 36:

    A) James
    B) Laporte

    1) Mount
    2) Foden
    3) Saka

    Thanks

    1. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      All of them

    2. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      B2 or B3 if fit

  24. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years

    2ney is back

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Immediate sell. If he can’t score against Man U …

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Frustrating night, especially falling over when through. Don't want to sell with decent fixtures but can't tell if I've just picked him up at the wrong time

  25. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 days ago

    FH in 37 so I have 1 FT to spare

    Foster
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Alonso
    Salah Coutinho Mount Saka Kulu
    Kane

    0,1m in bank.

    Mount to Foden or something else?

  26. Sun Jihai

    Bonus Points
    3 - Telles (40)
    2 - Varane (38)
    1 - Ronaldo (36)
    Fernandes (33)
    Dalot (29)

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      How does Kane get 21 BAPs points and ronaldo 36?

      Ronaldo for a penalty goal too.

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Kane had a big chance missed and gave away possession more and Ronaldo won his penalty also

  27. fedolefan

    Playing DDG over Pickford not the end of the world now.

  28. leo_messi

    which gameweek looks better for BB here:

    A) GW36 - Schmeichel ( EVE,WAT) - White ( LEE,tot) - Mateta (WAT) -Weghorst (AVL)

    B) GW37 - Pickford (BRE,CPL) - Emerson Royal ( BUR) - Mateta ( avl,eve) - Weghorst ( tot,avl)

    Anyone had a worse week than 80 ?

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

      Pretty terrible here as well. Just marginally better at 81.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Sorry to hear mate

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      73 I’m afraid. I blame picking ramsdale instead of Debravka for my poor showing
