The next match of Double Gameweek 20 takes place at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace host Manchester United in the 20:00 GMT kick-off.

Erik ten Hag’s side has had an extra day of rest over Palace, following Saturday’s late comeback win over Manchester City. It was their ninth successive victory in all competitions and another tonight will put them in second place, leapfrogging both their neighbours and Newcastle United.

Anthony Martial (£6.6m) was withdrawn at half-time at the weekend and doesn’t make the squad, meaning loanee Wout Weghorst (£6.0m) will start on his debut.

It’s one of three changes made by ten Hag, as Lisandro Martinez (£4.5m) and Antony (£7.4m) come in for Tyrell Malacia (£4.2m) and Fred (£5.1m). An injured Diogo Dalot (£4.7m) allows Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.3m) to face his former club.

Popular picks Marcus Rashford (£7.1m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m) start, as does Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m). After several appearances at centre-back, Shaw appears to be back on the left.

As for Palace, defender Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) picked up a first-half calf injury at Chelsea and will miss a few weeks. In his place comes Chris Richards (£4.4m).

Forwards Odsonne Edouard (£5.2m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£5.1m) start instead of Jordan Ayew (£5.3m) and Eberechi Eze (£5.6m), suggesting a possible 4-4-2 system. Meanwhile, Will Hughes (£4.8m) replaces Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.7m).

GAMEWEEK 20 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Clyne, Guehi, Richards, Mitchell; Olise, Doucoure, Hughes, Zaha; Edouard, Mateta

Subs: Johnstone, Ward, Tomkins, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Schlupp, Ozoh, Eze, Ayew 

Manchester United XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst

Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Fred, McTominay, Garnacho, Elanga, Pellistri

    1. FantasyTony

    1. The Knights Template

    Everyone now wishes they’d Gnonto him earlier!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      8/10 for effort
      2/10 for execution

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Tis at least the third time I’ve used it, 4/10 for wearing thin!

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Has Wout done anything of note yet?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nout.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not really

  11. villa_til_i_die
    • 14 Years

    Gnonto bandwagon incoming!

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nooooooooooo!

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Some cracking fixtures coming for him too!

  12. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Weghorst looks rubbish. Just running around contributing nothing. Strange signing.

    1. villa_til_i_die
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds like Ollie Watkins!

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Missed the first 10-15?

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Has confused football for dressage

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He ll score the important goals like in WC

    5. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It’s how you know they’re not challenging for the title with talent ID like that

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They were never challenging for the title?

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Have you seen the way their fans are going on about it? If they beat us on Sunday, they'll think they have a huge chance. Gary Neville thinks they will finish above us too

      2. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Really awful signing it has to be said. He blunts their attack.

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I reckon I could create a competitive team with a 75m budget at this rate

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Weghorst is like an oil tanker

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    Think I might paint a wall and watch it dry over this

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There's a Leeds game on...

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hate Baaaadiff but nice to see them getting shorn

      2. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years

        Tis a Gnonto game!

  24. Revival

    How easy is it to score in the Turkish league?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would've rather seen Pukki in Utd tbh

    2. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fairly easy in the baths ...

  25. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Why is Zaha such a tw*t?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What's he done now?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's such a whiny player, loves a whine towards the refs. And also he'd rather look for the foul than stay on his feet.

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He’s a clever player who can draw in fouls.

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly, not his fault dumb opposition players get sucked in 😉

  26. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hows the Horse doing...not expecting him to score any goals or anything, maybe just link up play or something (horse play?)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Slow af

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ah well, as long as he has a presence...that's the main thing

  27. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I remember last season where Palace away was one of the toughest fixtures

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Surely garnacho deserves a start ahead of antony

  29. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Guehi is ready for England.

  30. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I think the main highlight occurred an hour before the match when the Man Utd line up came out...
