Brighton v Man Utd team news: Rangnick names unchanged XI

One of the Gameweek 36 matches with the least riding on it from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective takes place this evening.

Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester United, two of the eight teams with a ‘single’ Gameweek, meet at the Amex in a 17:30 BST kick-off.

In fact, among the top 10,000 FPL managers, there is a combined ‘effective ownership’ figure of just 2.18% in this fixture.

The team news is nice and simple as there is only one change between the two sides, both of whom won 3-0 in Gameweek 35 – and it’s an enforced one at that.

That alteration has been made by Graham Potter, who has recalled Pascal Gross to replace the injured Enock Mwepu.

Ralf Rangnick names the same starting XI that beat Brentford on Monday, which means another start for Juan Mata.

The fit-again Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are back on the bench, meanwhile.

GAMEWEEK 36 LINE-UPS

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Cucurella, Dunk, Veltman, Trossard, Caicedo, Bissouma, Gross, March, Mac Allister, Welbeck.

Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Webster, Duffy, Offiah, Lallana, Alzate, Maupay, Ferguson.

Manchester United: De Gea, Telles, Varane, Lindelof, Dalot, Matic, McTominay, Mata, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo.

Subs: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Fernandez, Jones, Fred, Lingard, Cavani, Garnacho.

    3-3 coming up.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      7:30 - Triple Threat vs Triple Reds!

  2. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Remember the King or Dennis debate lol

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      The funniest thing about that was how angry people got

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yes!

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        It was ridiculous at the time all round. Clearly Ddnnis

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I don't even want to look back at some of the forwards I've owned this season, not mentally ready for it

    3. Josh.E
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      lol

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I've had three Watford forwards, each at the wrong time.

    5. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Gotta feel for those who decided that owning both was the answer.

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I feel personally attacked

    6. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I even had both for a few gameweeks. Bad times.

  3. Grande Tubarão
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Let’s go Utd. Vamos

  4. Shane86
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Anyone actually own a player in this game?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nah, I had Bruno until this week so I guess I just hope he doesn’t do anything (if he stays true to form that seems a good bet)

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      My rival has Sanchez on his BB.

  5. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Thought I'd check how free hit team doing. Then remembered that none of them are playing till the Liverpool game! 3City, 3Pool, 2Leic, 1Everton, 2Arse!

  6. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    14 from 5 any good?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’m 1 from 3 so I guess so!

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      -3 from 3 here. Knew my team looked too good to be true.

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Ah, I forgot to take the hit into account - guess I’m -3 from 3 too. Inflated my score

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Laissez les bon temps rouler

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not really.

    4. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Many people own Chelsea players so we are all in the same boat.

    5. cigan
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm 1 from 1 (thanks to Reece James the useless muppet)

      Quite happy I took a hit to take Coutinho out right now but the City lineup tomorrow could make me cry

    6. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      0 from -8!

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        -8 from 0 even…

  7. Grande Tubarão
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Southampton really have just given up haven’t they? This feels like a whole new level of ‘on the beach’

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Seems like they do it every season

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Easy Salah (c) next week

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I still can't believe that we lost against Saints, who gave points to everyone else in their last 10 games.

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    So good to see Fred back in the squad. Been superb this calendar year.

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sadly been one of our best players

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      De ja vu. Think I said this before Brentford too.

      I like Fred!

  9. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best defender up to 4.7 for gw37+gw38?

    1. lonecomander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Probably one of the spurs boys. Ben Davis or Royal

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, this I think. Maybe Tomiyasu?

    2. Tasty Jerk
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Coady 🙂

    3. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Spurs I guess, maybe a Palace player if you fancy a doubler. Brentford also a shout, decent pair of fixtures for them

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Guéhi if he's fit, or else Anderson/Clyne.

    5. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      cheers all.I guess someone from Tottenham/Leicester.

    6. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Brentford CB's say hi

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any juicy transfers bound to happen for next season?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Think Rice will move. Will be interesting to see where Lacazette and Nketiah go. Halaand is coming to Utd. Chelsea will have to get at least 1 CB. Not much else that I’m aware of.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Haaland to United? Lol wut

        1. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          He’s said before it’d be his dream move. Whether we’d stump up the cash required is another question

          1. JariL
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            There is no way Håland goes to a team that doesn't play UCL.

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Its seems that you might be a rose-tinted-glasses Utd supporter. If you think Haaland is going there you need counselling.

      3. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Haaland to Man United?

        Redro, you’re better than that

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Haaland to City is pretty juicy.

      There could well be a Salah v Haaland debate in pre-season.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I have a feeling Salah is going to leave

        1. Pino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          How can you feel it?

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Cause they'll lose CL+PL

          2. @persecuted_by_mods
              1 year, 10 months ago

              In his plums

          3. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Where would he go - Madrid? After bring so vocal about wanting revenge on them?

            1. R.C
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              He wants $$ not revenge

            2. Grande Tubarão
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 2 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              It was reported he was trying to push for a move to Utd a couple of years ago. Probably not anymore. I think he stays or if he goes anywhere it’s PSG

        2. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I think i would have the one that stays fit 38 games and not the one with load of injury issues. And he wont be nailed.

      2. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Haaland to Man City.

      3. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Arsenal striker hunt could be juicy. Schick or Jesus potentially

      4. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Newcastle's recruitment will be interesting.

        1. Forza Papac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Indeed. Need to go about getting their Kompany, Yaya, Silva and Aguero

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I think a striker, left back and right winger will be the priorities this summer.

          2. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            That was before financial fair play. They'll need UCL income before moving for players of that calibre.

            1. Hairy Potter
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              They can spend a fair bit due to Ashley's lack of spending, but I think they'll target top ten next season and take it from there.

            2. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              That can easily be fudged - whole thing is just a farce

      5. Planet Jo
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Lewandowski incoming?

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Brought in Mount for GW38 v Watford, do not too down hearted

    4. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Alonso sub tactical or injury?

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Trying to find out myself. What I’ve seen on Twitter suggests tactical. If so, with points dropped today, you’d hope he’d start against Leeds

    5. Shane86
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Matic and Mata suddenly important players when their contracts are up after being marginalized for years. This united team is such a joke it boggles the mind

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Club has been a joke for last 8 years

    6. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Foster vs James + Couthino = 4 - 2

    7. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      FPL (Chelsea!! and Cash and Weghorst) really pi$$ed me off earlier. Did a double bet on the European and US PGA golf earlier, so bit of viewing of the latter to take my mind off things.

      1. LEEDSLEEDSLEEDS
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Who ya on? Had a little tickle on kitayama just now

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Did Jason Day @ 15/8 & Olesen at 4/1. Literally less than a minute later Ramsey holed for birdie and Olesen dropped a shot soon after. But finished with eagle and then birdie.
          But now Day messing up here...

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I would never have picked Day this week. Nice pick.
            Fitzpatrick here.

    8. Flynny
      • 9 Years

      Who is the best villa striker for free hit?

      A....ings

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

    9. The Polymath

      Schmeichel

      2. Hairy Potter

        Elliot Anderson is a class apart in that division.

    13. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Imagine playing Mata, Ronaldo and Matic against this Brighton side.

      Ralf's signing another joke

    14. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      First DGW transfers I was gonna do to free up money were Mendy to Foster and Mount to Gordon. Really wish I had gone ahead and done that now. . . 🙁 🙁

          • 8 Years

          Paying the price for very, very bad recruitment*

          1. Shane86
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            £130 million on Maguire and Wan Bissaka. Both on the bench

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years

              Funnily enough Man United fans were delighted 3 years ago when they signed those two. They were never worth anywhere near that much.

      I can just about afford this move for next week if I do it now before Richarlison's price increases. Is it worth it?

      "Unfortunately they were a bit too far away" - Hodgson on choice not to acknowledge Watford fans at full time

      He’s trolling Watford fans at this point.

        He’s not well. He shouldn’t have taken this job

          A massive payday and he’s so chilled about it.
          Good riddance Watford, their managerial policy is a joke and they are getting their just desserts.

        Subs a forward for a defender to defend the 1-0 defect, even through relegation on the line. Masterclass.

        Similar to Moyes' excuse that the ball sat up nicely for a volley 😆

        That combined with the smiles and backslapping with his former players at full-time must have been a real winner with the Watford fans
