Double Gameweek 26 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues this Sunday lunchtime, with Leeds United v Manchester United kicking-off at 14:00 GMT.

The headline team news from an FPL perspective is that Raphinha is on the bench.

The Brazilian, who was substituted after just 45 minutes at Goodison Park last weekend, is currently owned by 14.7% of managers, and is replaced by Adam Forshaw in Marcelo Bielsa’s starting XI.

As for Man Utd, Ralf Rangnick hands Jesse Lingard his first Premier League start of the season, in one of three changes for the visitors.

Paul Pogba and Aaron Wan-Bissaka also come in, with Diogo Dalot, Fred and Anthony Elanga dropping out.

That means Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo retain their places, having both delivered dougle-figure hauls in Double Gameweek 25.


DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas, Koch, Forshaw, Klich, James, Harrison, Rodrigo

Subs: Klaesson, Firpo, Raphinha, Roberts, Bate, Gelhardt, Cresswell, Shackleton, Kenneh

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, Sancho, Fernandes, Lingard, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Mata, Rashford, Fred, Varane, Dalot, Telles, Matic, Elanga

    Happy with the Raph goal , coady clean sheet would do nicely . Salah as tc looking very good now he will get an absolute cricket score v Leeds

  2. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    RMFHT out of 10?

    Pope
    Laporte Shaw Mee
    Bruno Son Mahrez Foden JW-P
    Kane Weghorst
    ¦ Livramento Williams

  3. Pep's Money Laundry

    Next week's captain is going to be interesting, we've got:

    Leeds v spurs
    Man Utd v watford
    Saints v Norwich
    Burnley double

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      On Sonny right now.

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Same. Might shift to Bruno if I bring him in for Saka.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 11 months ago

        If Leicester lose badly today weggy is gonna be popular

      • DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I have both Kane and Son. Impossible to decide.

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I think Son mate. Expect him to win more 1v1s given his superior dribbling + pace

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Son runs faster from counter attacks?

      • JoeTweaks
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I've had it on Weghorst since

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          After seeing this Leeds team I am now torn between Son and him.

      • NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Man City/Everton

    3. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      How does this FH team look:

      Pope
      Roberts, Livramento, Cancelo
      Ward-Prowse, Fernandes, Sancho, Mahrez, Son
      Kane, Weghorst

      Gunn, Walker-Peters, Dalot, Delap

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        If everyone who scored this week scores next week, you'll do well.

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Rather double up City mid rather than United

      3. Fish up a tree
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Looks good

        I have the same team but I am starting Sterling & KWP over Sancho & Livra

        Perraud had Covid yesterday so Livra may drop out the team again for next week with KWP probably switching from left to right back.

    4. DALEDOBACK
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Did Jota, Bruno, KDB to Son, Salah (TC), JWP. Paid off, just?

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        sure

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Guaita or DDG to Pope, worth -4?

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        If you believe that ManUtd will keep a cs then no.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          With that line of defence in front of DDG, surely not lol

    6. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      TAA, Robbo and TC Salah must go mad vs that Leeds defence

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly. Bring it on!!

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        At least two goals for Salah vs Leeds.

    7. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Come on Klopp, Rest Mo for the final.

      1. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        What do you think? I didn’t TC him, partly due to risk of being rested, but Firmino’s injury means one fewer option now. Might be different if it were the FA Cup but I suspect he’ll start vs Leeds now

        1. dabber7
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I think there's zero chance that Salah will be rested now after that Spurs win.

          1. FourLokoLeipzig
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            I don’t think the Spurs win changes anything tbh

    8. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Meanwhile Auba is on a hatty!

    9. JBay
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Which one for my 4th FH mid: Bowen, Sancho or Mahrez? I'm quite inclined for Bowen actually.

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Mahrez

        1. AARON-1
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Sancho now he has found form and confidence

      2. Wizard of Ozil
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Sancho, as they've got Watford. good differential if he does well. everyone has Bowen.

      3. dabber7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Mahrez

    10. Wizard of Ozil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Salah might be rested. Hes not a robot. Leeds concede so many so he wont be missed. I hope not as i have him on a TC chip. a 20 min cameo for an assist would be a result. plus he could get injured in the carabao cup final as I`m sure Klopp will want him to play in a final.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        He'll start and then he'll be hauled off at 60-70'.

      2. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        If Jota and Firmino were fit he would be rested imo but with both injured Salah has to play. Annoying as I WC’d instead of TC

        1. Wizard of Ozil
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks Hope your both right.

      3. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Glad you said might. I think Klopp's learnt a lesson from Norwich re: underestimating PL teams.

      4. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Any player might get injured. I’d say with salah fitness he’s one of the least likely to though

    11. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Would you free hit this team, this is alreаdy minus 4:

      DDG (wat)
      Dalot(wat) Digne(bha) Saiss(whm)
      Zaha(BUR) Bowen (WOL) Coutinho(bha) Gordon(MCI)
      Kane(lee) Edouard(BUR) Broja(NOR)

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I wouldn't

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Interesting, cheers, thanks.

    12. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      That Bruno haul really hurts. A goal was fine but the assist was avoidable.
      Smart choice those who decided to hold him.
      Jimenez, save me!

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        It's Leeds United. Was an easy hold for me.

        Not expecting many points vs Roy's Watford though

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I sold him for Son after noticing that also Son has Leeds after his double. Son doesn't have to do much vs Burnley.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Nicely done there. Yep anything against Burnley is bonus.

      2. xuwei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I almost did a hit for Son. Still could go either way.

    13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Set for next week I think. Don't know who to captain though.

      Pope
      Cancelo Davies Amartey
      Son Bowen Raph Ramsey
      Kane Broja Edoaurd

      Lewis Salah TAA Tierney

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Son

      2. Wirtzel Gummidge
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Kane of those!

      3. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Son to play it safe

    14. Wizard of Ozil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      If you haven't BENCH BOOSTED this DGW 26, which is the most fruitful in the future with decent fixtures. I feel I should have BB this week instead of TC chip.

      1. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe 29 or 36.

        1. Wizard of Ozil
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks. 29 does look good. trying to find the best fixtures.

      2. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        DGW28 looks good for BB, I presume those that used WC26 did so to target BB28

      3. Wirtzel Gummidge
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I'm WC'ing this week for BB28 🙂

        1. Steinburg FC
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          same here, can't decide between Ramsdale and SA

      4. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        36 probably.

        28 BB is only really good if you had set it up with a WC in 26.

      5. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        36 I believe

        1. Wizard of Ozil
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I cant see that far in advance. not sure i can keep the BB until then.

      6. Steinburg FC
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        28 for me Dubravka, Coady, Livramento, Saka

    15. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Classic Bruno type performance. One touch in the box and comes away with 12 points. Shame I had to sell him this week.

    16. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Hmm I was thinking my team would be able to withstand FH27 but now it's not looking so hot...

      DDG
      Cancelo Dalot* Livra
      Maddison* Bowen Mahrez XX
      Kane Weghorst Broja

      Dalot and Maddison are risks to start and I'm already on 10 players.

      Would FH to this:

      Pope
      Roberts Cancelo Livra
      Sterling Son Fernandes Mahrez JWP
      Kane Weghorst

      This gains me minimum 3 extra fixtures from the extra Burnley + Son and Fernandes.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        My team is in much worse state, and I still plan to save FH. You already have Mahrez, Cancelo, Kane, Weghorst and Broja. Dalot could just be rested? Sort out Maddison and it's decent for next week. You can captain only one Spurs, and Watford will be tough for United's slow positional play.

    17. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Which 3 City players are best for a FH in 27?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Cancelo, Sterling, Mahrez imo. And have a decent first sub in case one of the mids don't play.

      2. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        There are no best option

        Chose 3 of Cancelo Laporte Mahrez KDB Sterling Foden and you will be absolutely fine

        1. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          KDB, Cancelo, and then hairsplitting time to pick the 3rd

    18. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Would you risk Dalot on FH?

      Faces Watford two days after atletico. Have a feeling Ralf may start AWB again

      1. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        It's 3 days after. I have him but don't think I would on FH.

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Thinking same. A late cameo is possible if he doesn't start blocking the sub

          1. NorCal Villan
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            On a FH I would steer clear of him

    19. gellinmagellan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      DDG (FOSTER)
      CANCELO DUNK COUFAL (taa white)
      FODEN BOWEN TROSSARD
      EDOUARD BROJA (laca)

      Have 9 players for GW27 but Edouard and Trossard don't seem to be starting these days. 1 FT, 3.8 ITB. Should I FH or just take a -4?

    20. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I started Jota just in case. I'd take 10 minutes of him v this Leeds team over the Ramsey 2 on my bench.

    21. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Take Bruno's points and move to son? Not sure if Watford will be as open

      1. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I would. Leeds are not good.

      2. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yes better fixtures and double upcoming

      3. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I did it this week for -4. Would have been for -4 this week also. Hodgson team is going to park the double-decker.

      4. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Still unconvinced about Salah tu Son?

    22. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Have the Foxes scored yet?

    23. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Thoughts on this FH draft for GW27:

      Pope
      Cancelo • Mee • Dier
      Sancho • Son • KDB • Mahrez
      Broja • Kane • Weghorst

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Sess over Dier?

        1. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Won’t Reguillon just get his place straight back ?

    24. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Jimmy assist 🙂

    25. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Ill take that helper JIMI

    26. Dale Sartip-Zadeh
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Certainly include Mahrez but it's whether or not he starts
