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.

        It would always have been the second game for a rest not Spurs

          Yea, could really do with a defender getting some points though.

      FH template?

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

        Pickford
        Trent, Robbo, Cash
        Salah, Son, Zaha, Gordon
        Kane, Richarlison, Watkins

        3-4-3 just looks wrong these days

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years

          Similar to mine although not sure whether to go both TAA and Robo or go for Double villa?

      Its s joke that Burnley might be relegated instead of Man United. One team adds much more value to the league than the other

        We’ve been much better than Burnley over the course of the season tbf

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

          Burnley have had much greater impact on the title raise by being a genuine banana skin.

      Hard to believe you can get spurs at 6/1 that’s mental

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Even harder to believe people are taking Redro seriously

      2. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        My team actually looks quite set for the next two GWs. Might just ditch the remaining FH as things stand.

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

          Triple Palace on FH in 38?

          1. Philosopher's Stones
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            The only problem is Vieira may give his big guns an early holiday and throw in his youngsters to beat united.

            1. Rainer

          More Blackpool than Ibiza for them this summer.

          Or Dubai, that sums them up. Trashy

            Ibiza is for trashy people too

        As non salah capper, the success of the game week may be defined in the next 2 hours.

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

        The only thing worse than te performance is Rangnicks jumper

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

          Nicked rag

      7. Philosopher's Stones

        Quite funny that SGWer Veltman is my highest scorer on the BB so far.

      8. GoonerGirl
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks for nothing Klopp, benching Matip. BB working out so well for me so far.

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

          Matip and Konate have been rotating for a while

          1. GoonerGirl
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Not in the league, Matip has always played 90 mins. Not the week I play my bench boost though of course. Classic.

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

            Not really konate has been playing the cup and Matip the league it’s unlucky he’s been benched

            1. GoonerGirl
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              I see what you mean. I guess I chose the wrong time to bring him in so near to the cup final.

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

                That’s just bad luck. He’ll play against villa. And keep a clean sheet and score two:)

                1. GoonerGirl
                  • 4 Years
                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  Lol yeah, that would be nice 🙂

        2. nolard
          • 9 Years

          matip has been ill i read

          1. GoonerGirl
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Hopefully be back for next game then, if true.

            there's a cream for that

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

            I was thinking there was reason that could explain it. I was sure he’d be the starter in the league and konate for the fa cup

      9. Catalan Rangers
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Anyone knows what happened to Coutinho? Still expected to play next 2 matches?

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

          Blanking a lot and might not be in next seasons plans, unlike Buendia.

          Wouldn't expect Coutinho to start over him vs Liverpool.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I'd definitely expect Coutinho to play against Liverpool.

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

              Why when they played so well with Buendia?

              https://twitter.com/FPLVillan/status/1522993032777416705

                • 10 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                Coutinho buendia watkins front 3 probably.

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

          Sold to Barcelona

      10. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Sold Bruno to get Matip Alonso. I don’t know how to feel tbh

      11. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        If Liverpool don't keep a CS in the next game, it could turn out that not taking a hit for Doherty -> Matip might've earned(saved) me more points on that move.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Positive thinking

      12. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        First FH37 Draft:

        Martinez*
        Robertson Cash* Holgate*
        Salah KDB Maddison* Zaha
        Kane Watkins* Richarlison*

        (3.9m, Guehi*, Brownhill*, Tsimikas)

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          You might want a deeper bench than that?

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

            Nah. Beauty (what's left of it anyway) of DGWs mean you don't normally need a bench. 1 sub is fine.

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

              And if Robertson in benched, you have his 3.7m replacement to step in.

            2. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Like this week?

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

                Who's gonna miss both games?

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

          Think I'm gonna dbl on spurs with son as well in place of kdb.

          1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I may consider it too

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years

          Apparently it's an illness that kept him out today

            • 14 Years

            He's on the bench I think?

            1. Philosopher's Stones
              • 3 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

                He is

                • 12 Years

                • 3 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                My bad. He's on the bench, yes

            2. Philosopher's Stones
              • 3 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Anyways, you still dodged a bullet luckily this week, it seems

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

        It is early in the week but man does this feel like a pretty spectacular failure of a bench boost. The only saving grace seems to be that about everyone is having the same poor results so far. Have to admit I'm a bit worried going into this next game without Salah especially with Matip benched.

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

          Same as that I’ve capped son and don’t have salah but expecting salah maybe to do a number against sess tonight

      14. It’s A Joke
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Wow. Man United are really bad.

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

          No

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

          We are absolutely trash. Maybe it is different in the UK but I cannot understand how Ragnick isn't getting absolutely destroyed in the media. Here in the US they seem to give him a pass on all of his incredibly unusual management decisions. But the honest answer is Klopp, Pep, and Conte couldn't get this team to defend well. I'll be honest I cannot remember being more demoralized as a United fan since Sir Alex retired.

      15. Van der Faart

        Please god don't let Steve McManaman be on commentary. BT LFC is painful

      16. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I promise myself this towards the end of every season, but next season I'm gonna get the BB out of the way in the first few GWs definitely. Always ruins a few good GWs in hits and team structure preparing for it.

        Damn Robbo - you should have finished that.
