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

    50/50 Bruno hauls or gets a RC now. Godspeed.

    • 13 Years

    Unbelievable, Ronaldo scores, after all the talk about his bad free kicks an why the h**ll ve’s on them. And Bruno yellow really tasted good too for all of us lucky captainers

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      And where’s my Cruella CS and attacking returns from this week’s differential?

  3. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    I’m the guy who sold Keane for Dunk this gw!

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      No way

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      It’s that kind of season. Beer?

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Lethal

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Congrats. This is FPL.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Just forget the outcome, better luck next time. C Bruno for -4 here speaking....

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        I was like Kdb to Bruno only or use 2FT for dgw player. That extra transfer would be handy. Guess I’m playing 2 point Micky Antonio again haha

    5. Mario Balofail
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      It's not your fault. You were just moving rubbish around

  4. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Of course YC. Well pleased If no RC for Bruno(C).

  5. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Getting Bruno for Sterling for a hit 2 GWs ago has proved to be classic DGW blindness

  6. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Lamptey on alzate on
    Trossard off groß off

  7. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    I bought Dunk for his attacking threat.. At least I got that decision right

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Lol. That's a good one!

  8. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Come on, let's have another dodgy pen or two in this game.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      This please

  9. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    I captained Bruno for the GW 22 double and I knew at the time that it was the jammiest points in the world. Complete fluke. This is just evening out from that week.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I need another Ronaldo goal with no Bruno involvement. Then we'll call it square!

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Yep same. Bruno gives and Bruno takes away

    3. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      I had Ronaldo blank then. Sold him to Kane and brought in Bruno for this. Kill me now.

  10. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    15 mins ago I was looking at my potential Sanchez, Dunk clean sheets. Now I’m looking at 2 cleanies wiped, a Dunk red card, Bruno(C) yellow and the one player I didn’t own scoring the goal

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Disaster. Went Dunk over Webster for the added goal threat.

      1. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Same 😎

        Where is Nightcrawler when you need him?

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        Yup. Did too much research for my own good. Wish I'd just stopped once I'd seen their FPL minutes for the past 8 weeks or so.

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Quite a swing

    3. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Add Trossard

  11. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Keeping Ron for Leeds match is an option I'm considering, given the poor alternatives, and might save me a hit

  12. Netters2018
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Is that 3 game ban for dunk? Gw27 ruined now if so....

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Nope

  13. JJO
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Oh fak off Trossard

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        I was so ready to get rid of him.

  14. Boberella
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Anyone know what the top 10k ownership and captaincy of Ronny is?

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Drossard 1 point DGW

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years

    Post 60 bps update:

    3 - Ronaldo (37)
    2 - de Gea (25)
    1 - Dalot (24)

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Brighton goal would be nice

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Brought in Bruno and took captaincy off Ronnie

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      So unlucky

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Double United attack, you reap what you sow.

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

      Most capped Bruno
      Having Ronaldo in itself is good enough as only 39% EO

    4. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Sold Maddison and Foden for Salah and Bruno (C)
      Took C off DDG

  22. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Now that CR7 scored I have to admit that maybe I’ve overthought (c) Salah over him

  23. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Watch United get to 85 mins at 1-0 and then concede

    Points for no one

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      This is the Way.

  24. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Still think I'm transferring out CR and not Bruno, because CR will be rested this weekend for CL(might get minutes, but from the bench, Rashford or Cavani to give him opportunity to rest). Imo.

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Get rid of both. I'm doing Bruno to Son

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Both. Rather have any of Salah / KDB / Son / Allan

    3. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Should Bruno be starting though, seems that Lingardinho deserve a chance and Pogba can do the Box-to-Box trick.

      I have Bruno but it's clear there is something broken in the logic of including Bruno in our FPL squads.

      He is not talismanic for MU and he is not looking essential for them either, in the real-world, not FPL

  25. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Bruno has turned into a true Manchester United player? Is he now Mata, Pereira, or Mkhitaryan but at a huge price.

    I cannot keep him, even against the awful Leeds team, but who to get?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Son.

      1. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 days ago

        That seems like the best option for me

  26. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    10 men vs. 11 toddlers

    Brighton should win this

  27. Boberella
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    A Brighton goal would be excellent. DDG seems to be my biggest rank threat. Unable to watch the game, is it likely they might nick one?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Guaranteed.

      12 draws this season, United always find a way to concede.

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

      With Utd there's always a chance
      90th min probably

  28. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Need a Sanchez pen save from Ronaldo.

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      This would be great! and Bruno putting in the rebound would be nice!

    2. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Sanchez saves the pen....Ronaldo rushes Sanchez...Ronaldo Fouls Sanchez...Direct Red for Ronaldo

  29. Snake Juice
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Need this United CS wiped out

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 days ago

      Won't happen this time

  30. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 days ago

    Welbeck is going to wipe out the United cleansheet here. Written in the stars.
