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

    I have Raphina. One of my closest rivals has Dalot (with Livra coming in 3rd on bench..) Other closest rival gets Livra for Coufal. Grr...

    Hey my rival has Dalot, and Marcal on the bench, than livramento 12 pointer after.

    How likely do you think it is that Dalot comes off the bench? Or Marcal plays 1 minute in the next 2 games? Him getting the 12 points is the difference to who is first

      I would happily see Dalot come on for a cameo but seems unlikely.

      I'm going to say 4-2 to ManUtd but just a wild guess. Leeds haven't had a good record in these games against the top 4/6 and ManUtd's direct style of attacking means there's always a good chance they'll put a few past them

    Phil Hay - Leeds correspondent for The Athletic - on Raphina being left out.

    'Big call to leave out Raphinha but the right one to get Forshaw back into the midfield. The center of midfield is where Man Utd have had plenty of joy previously against Leeds so more in there can't be a bad idea.'
