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'd like to say I'm not a betting man but I am just not a good one, that's why I didn't back this

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

      Nicely done.

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

      I was just looking for this!

    3. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      So what's the Liverpool Leeds scoreline going to be. May or may not have TCed Salah.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Hah, go on I'll bite, I'll say 5-1 to Liverpool, on a high after City's loss

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          rip me.

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

    Being stuck with Bruno and Dennis not so bad this week!

  8. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Leeds slipping into relegation battle.

  9. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Imagine if we hadn't signed CR7...

    Bruno x Pogba x Sancho

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I wish we hadn't

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Hampered Bruno so much thus season

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

      Don't confuse business decisions with footballing decisions.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Shirt sales though

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

      Two out of Bruno, Pogba and Ronaldo need to leave. Cavani too probably given he can't play most matches for one reason or another. Then need to sign a DM and a FW.

      De Gea
      Dalot Varane Maguire Shaw
      ????? McTominay
      Rashford Fernandes Sancho
      ?????

  10. nerd_is_the_werd

    How does this FH team look:

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

    Gunn, Walker-Peters, Dalot, Delap

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Two Walker Peter's, interesting

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        The correct plural is walkers-peter

        1. TopBinFC
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks

    2. FPL Laurenzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      You've got 12 on the field mate

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

      Remove the Walker-Peters from the starting 11, should be 3-5-2 formation.

  11. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Switched Bruno out for Son. Remains to be seen what the end result is.b

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

      I was considering the same. I reckon we’re about even at half time

  12. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    This ref just guesses with YCs. Shaw?! Fred was the first to square up to Firpo.

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

      Shaw didn't square up, he went steaming in with a push

  13. The Mantis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Right, Ronaldo out for weghurst or kane? As a matter of urgency. Also, is there a Dennis injury?

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

      Kane for me.

  14. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Bruno determined to stop me swapping for Son every week

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

      Salah tu Son instead. Bruno to Salah after that. Come and join me

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

        yep same plan

  15. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Imagine using a transfer to drop Bruno. Wow.

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      There is literally 1 thing going for me right now and keeping him is it. Massive red arrow for me still though.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Depends if Son was the replacement

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I got rid to bring in Saka and Kane. No complaints

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

      Yep, for Salah (TC). Imagine.

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Clearly not the move I’m referring to

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

          Do you not use a transfer if you get salah

          1. MIGHTY JOE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Feel better mate

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

              Be more specific in your gloating next time

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

          No specificity whatsoever in your original comment though

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      No idiot would do that! 😉

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

    Bruno back to last years performance it’s seems

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

      You BB? Hopefully not. Told you not to

  17. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Can only pray that salah starts vs Leeds.

    Could be a monster haul.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      TAA and Robertson putting corners on VVD's head should be enough.

  18. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    If CR7 gets dropped as he may Bruno will get Pens back.

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

    Bruno 1 BAP away...

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      FPL towers owners might sort that yet

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

      No doubt they'll find a way to bump him up. Probably give him another assist while they're at it.

  20. TopBinFC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Raphinha is def a sell now ya?
    Regardless of DGW in 28

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Certainly not

    2. BobB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Why would you sell Raph ahead of a DGW then NOR? He scored today!

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

      Not DEFINITELY. Only potentially.

      He scored today and the GW28 double is against LEE/AVL, both who can't defend.

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

      He's a keep for me.

      lei, AVL and NOR upcoming.

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I might sell for JWP actually. But cuz I need that extra 0.1 to get Lacazette in 28

          Coady owner; I’ll take that

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Same or a sneaky one nil with a Coady goal.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years

          2. Utopsis
            • 5 Years

            Given that I failed to pull the trigger on Jimi, so would I!

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years

        Let's go Ait-Nouri!

      3. Nightcrawler

        Calm before the storm

        Whatever the opposite of that is

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          Storm before the calm?

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

        Wolves are going to put three past Foxes. It's a promising game.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah this is one of the rare weeks where I'd much rather have a Wolves forward than a defender

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

        1-0 to Leicester, please.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Yes please! (but it won't happen - most likely the other way around)

      6. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Clean sheet for wolves hopefully

    5. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      One for any Ronaldo owners to ponder
      In the last 8 Premier League games he has the same number of goals as Fred
      Having played more minutes

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

        Just need to watch a game to see how bad ronaldo is. Bruno back to his best

      2. VicGunner
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Based on that stat alone, Ron should retire immediately

    6. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      It's weird that I'm playing without forwards and still doing good at fpl.

      My front line is Antonio, King and Cristiano.

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      Obviously not allowed to use the word t w a t

        His attacking positioning in the last game was incredible - wouldn't surprise me

    9. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years

      Chances of Tarkowski missing out midweek?

      Want femenia off the bench

      1. Sif

        It's Covid so no way of knowing. Depends on when the test was, how he's feeling etc.
