The final match of Double Gameweek 25 sees Manchester United play host to Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 20:15 GMT.

A lot of captaincy hopes will be pinned on Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo tonight, with the Portuguese pair both installed in Ralf Rangnick’s starting XI.

Elsewhere, there are three changes for the Red Devils from the side that drew 1-1 against Southampton on Saturday, with Victor Lindelof, Fred and Anthony Elanga coming in for Raphael Varane, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford.

Varane was initially named in the line-up, but has since had to pull out due to illness.

That means Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw continue in defence, ahead of goalkeeper David de Gea, who’s ownership currently sits at 15.2%.

Graham Potter, meanwhile makes three changes for Brighton, with Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister and Leandro Trossard replacing Adam Lallana, Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck.


DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 25 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Jones, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Lingard, Telles, Wan-Bissaka, Heaton

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Cucurella, Bissouma, Gross, Mac Allister, Moder, Trossard, Maupay

Subs: Steele, Lamptey, Lallana, Alzate, Welbeck, March, Duffy, Caicedo, Ferguson

    OK, I'll sell Ronaldo this week at long last.

    But, do I really want to go through this same nonsense with Kane now?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No, you do not. Drain the cash from the forward line for a beefy midfield and defense. Wish i had done this soooo much earlier.

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can't ever recall such a poor season for FPL forwards. Antonio still the top forward on points with only 2 returns in 16 weeks

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo to Broja for me. Then Gundogan and Raphinha to Salah and Son.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Those are fantastic moves, imo.

    GW27 might be the week that Dennis and King finally get something

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Well in Dennis' case positive points would be something instead of minus 1.

  3. Gav's Gunners
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Had Bilva for around 10 gameweeks now. Scores in cup games only. Absolute FPL fraud

  4. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Some trolling this from Bernardo

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He'll be playing in a different position in this game no doubt.

  5. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Keep Foden or Bernardo?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Foden, for me.

  6. Steve The Spud

      2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Well done …. Mr Twisted … I thought this would be tougher! Yes, it’s Rob Earnshaw …. And the swine scored his international Hattie against Scotland!

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I was just thinking the same. Bad memories with berti in charge of Scotland

        2. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Saw him suggested as a guess on your other quiz, so he was at the front of my mind! Prolific with Cardiff and Had a good spell with Wales

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I know this one!

      1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Bonner clearly likes nothing better that a quiet night in with a trusted copy of the football almanac!

        1. Pat Bonner

          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

      steve bull ?

  13. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like we will be getting the customary DDG save point at least

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until he concedes 2 and ends on 2 points

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Still a save point , though 😉

  14. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    DDG is totally a relegation team goalie. Loads of saves doesn't keep clean sheets.

  15. Mr Arsenal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    United won’t even make top 6 at this rate.

    Incredible given the amount of talent they have.

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The amount of money they’ve spent to be this mediocre is crazy

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They’ll do well to make top half of the table with their attitude and work rate.

    3. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lazy, sleepy & not interested millionaires…

  16. g40steve

    Time for the pensioner to have a rest

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      At same age 37, Zlatan scored 17 + 5 in 28 games

  17. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    united look like a relegation team

  18. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Another filthy performance by Utd. Brighton in control just rolling the ball around in space under no pressure whatsoever. No press by Utd, nothing. Absolutely pathetic. Rangnick is utterly clueless.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ole back in?

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno FK range

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo awful attempt steaight in the wall - as expect

  20. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo Straight into wall

  21. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Please concede, Man U. So DDG owners don't profit and you have to push for a late Bruno equalizer.

    C'mon.

  22. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wasnt CR7 better as a winger? It seems he can be striker only in teams where u have 10/10 quality buildup, mid and crosses.

    In this poor ManU he needs to create chances, not sit in the box. Pretty useless.

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      ronaldo hasnt been a winger for close to 8 years now. His only attribute now is poaching which he has also lost

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He has an ok record as a striker 🙂

      1. Bishopool
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I know, but only in decent team.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He's 37. I've heard second-hand from one or two old Div 1 footballers that central defence is the easiest place to play. Perhaps he should play there? 😀

      1. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Say that to Zlatan

  23. putana
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    considering all the money united have spent you have to laugh when looking at their lineup.

    not a single one of these players would start for city or liverpool's best 11

    1. Bishopool
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Perhaps DDG, Bruno and McT. Others should go to Everton and start scoring.

  24. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno down.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Up and whingeing

  25. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I am just super pissed how big p***** Bruno has become since the Ronaldo has arrived. I am fuming. Bet he asks him to go to toilet at Carington.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s like a different player isn’t he. Was so good in his first few months

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ronaldo has destroyed him, OGS and MU.

  26. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why don’t it’s try to get Potter

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Utd

  27. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pogba to play sec Half

  28. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Recon AWB gets a few mins? Rival will get Coleman off the bench if not!

  29. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno got his hatrick yet?

  30. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo has made this team so much worse. He had no right in the world to take that free ahead of Bruno

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Agree
