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

    Blood everywhere

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Blood in blood out

  2. Stranger Mings

    Is varane risky as a FH27 option?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If no news of him being injured in the pressers, then you’re good to go.

  3. how now brown cow

    Mctominay seems to get away with a lot.

  4. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How’s that not a yellow

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Think it was just a coming together. They couldn't stop the collision

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Sick of this “coming together” nonsense. Mctominay went straight into Koch with his elbow

        1. DycheDycheBaby
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          That's a bit sus

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Actually it looked a bit more forceful from McTominay on the replay..

  5. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Damn that was nasty.

  6. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno injured?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No just time wasting

  7. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    No one likes to see blood from koch.

  8. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Koch will have to be subbed and twitter da's will be sharing the Terry Butcher picture and complaining about how players have gone soft

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Neville says an innocent clash of heads?

    Really?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You think he deliberately dove in head first to headbutt his opponent?

      That said it was a yellow because it was late and reckless

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

    Who's taking Manchester United penalty kick? Bruno or Ronaldo?

    First to 3 wins

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

      Denis irwin

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

        You're stuck in the 90s?

  11. Hairy Potter
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Nasty gash for Koch.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Blood on head of Koch is never good.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I will bet someone here had one post removed with the obvious koch joke.

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah they're a bunch of Kochs to be honest

  12. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Maguire OG would be lovely to see.

  13. Warby84

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Fernandes, Trossard and Jota for Salah, Mane and Saka here.

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years

      Jota Antonio Keane to Saka Jimmy Robbo (-8)

      Not feeling good

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Haven't taken a hit all season. Foden to Salah(tc) was my transfer this GW.

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Took a -8. Bruno, Ron, Jota and Watkins > Salah, Mane, Kane and Weghorst. So far so good.

      1. Warby84
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Good work

  14. Bobby Digital

      1. Brehmeren
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That's what she said

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Koch's head covered in white

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Koch’s head exploded

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Please stop hahahaha

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

    If only FPL was around in the 90s. Ian Harte would be a steal.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I saw him score a hat trick of free kicks at Elwood Park once.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yes I remember that!

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        *Ewood

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

        Nice. Never knew such thing happened, but wouldn't be surprised

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Actually owned him once in my first fpl season. Think it was the season Leeds got relegated

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

        You do? Must be a strong pick up. Better than Baines I suppose 🙂

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He's an option in Fantasy ChampMan

  19. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Been some abysmal passing so far

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      The conditions are shocking. I'm in Leeds and the TV doesn't fully convey how rubbish the weather is.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That's fair, beginning to see splashes of water popping up with long passes

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Koch blocked a lot

  20. RamboRN
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ddg
    Dalot livra cancelo
    foden bowen
    eduard kane dennis

    Subs foster, TAA, martinelli, tierney, saka, salah.
    Got 3m itb. I have both free hits available. Do I take one this week do field a good team or just swap martinelli for someone like Ramsey and field 10 or even a -4 to field 11 ?

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'd just take a single hit - maybe Martinelli > Coutinho

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      JWP maybe worth -4

  21. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno down again . And he's back up again.

  22. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno loves to complaint to the ref

  23. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Wow there must have been some DISGUSTING SCENES on here earlier when Raphinha was named on the bench!
    Bullet dodged!

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yup owners were in the mud with nowhere to go

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Or hide!

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      More disappointed as a Leeds fan tbh, my FPL team can handle it this week

  24. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Keep them saves going DDG!

  25. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sometimes with the way he goes on I think Bruno thinks no-one's allowed to tackle him. Feels like one of those days where yc is incoming and he'll teeter on the line of getting sent off for the rest of the game

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ditto. He needs to keep his head cool.

  26. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno getting very frustrated. Hopefully he's not going to have another swipe at someone like he did with JWP.

  27. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Ronaldo denied

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

  28. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years

    CR7 tap in miss.

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

      it wasn't a miss, it was a save. if that were DDG, people here would be going crazy about GREAT SAVE

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ronaldo miss of the millennium

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ronnie huge miss

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
