Five more Premier League matches follow on from Everton’s win over Arsenal, including the first instalment of Manchester United’s Double Gameweek 22.

Times given in GMT

The team news from Old Trafford is what most Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will be interested in, and there’s bad news for owners of Anthony Martial.

The Frenchman is absent from the Red Devils’ squad this afternoon, with Erik ten Hag’s team showing two changes from Gameweek 21: Casemiro is back from suspension and Fred is recalled, with the injured Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay making way.

“He had a setback from the game when he returned. He thought he could build up, but he dropped a little bit back. We have to wait, we have to be patient not to force it.” – Erik ten Hag on Anthony Martial

United’s opponents, Crystal Palace, make three changes from their last game. Joel Ward, Eberechi Eze and the injured Wilfried Zaha are replaced by Will Hughes, Michael Olise and Nathaniel Clyne.

Brighton are without the injured Evan Ferguson, while Moises Caicedo is benched after being the subject of a few bids in the January transfer window.

Bournemouth make five changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest a fortnight ago. January signings Antoine Semenyo and Hamed Traore both start, while Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi and Philip Billing all return. There’s still no Dominic Solanke, however.

Hugo Bueno is benched for Wolves this afternoon, with Rayan Ait-Nouri taking his place. Craig Dawson, Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia also come in for the hosts.

Darwin Nunez and Joel Matip are recalled at the expense of the injured Ibrahima Konate and the benched Harvey Elliott for Liverpool.

Alex Moreno surprisingly drops to the bench for Aston Villa, with the fit-again Lucas Digne taking his place.

Victor Kristiansen, Tete and Harry Souttar all make their debuts for Leicester.

Brentford make two changes to the side that drew with Leeds, as Yoane Wissa and Aaron Hickey come in for Mads Roerslev and Kristoffer Ajer.

Romain Perraud, Samuel Edozie, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Romeo Lavia replace Lyanco, Kyle Walker-Peters, Carlos Alcaraz and Adam Armstrong for Southampton.

          Used to post on here, was condescending towards everyone and was outed as someone who had multiple teams.

    So frustrating to see that my differentials are doing nothing. Mbuemo I am talking to you!

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      But he scored

      1. DaniCT
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        miss spelled Toney. lol

  10. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Damn should have watched the Villa game instead. 3-2 to Leicester now.

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

      Digne YC still to come!

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      135mins of goalless football was not what I was expecting from Arsenal & Brighton today

  11. Yes Ndidi
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    The Dyche effect. Tarkowski & Mee both scoring.

  12. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Definitely avoiding Villa defense

  13. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Damn Brentford manage to get two goals but nothing for Toney.

  14. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Digne will be dropped for Moreno next game for sure
    Villa defence looks bad, advantage Haaland gw23 TCers
    Who tf is Tete? Nice guy

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      And vs Arsenal after today's performance

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        City FB's will be on their own with Marty and Saka

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

      They're good away from home though, beat Spurs, Brighton and Soton away only conceding once in those 3 games

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        True but Spurs had lots of players missing and Saints had 2 disallowed goals

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    It's a crime how little Nacho has played under Rodgers.

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

      Rodgers has no clue.

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's incredible really

  16. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Sold Mbeumo for Gnonto

    FFS

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I benched Gnonto, I don’t think he’ll get any bring at all, but now I kinda wish I’d given him a chance and benched March.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        why would you bench Gnonto in a DGW???

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Because I don’t believe in him. Relying solely on that forest fixture, they’ve tightened up, and 2 pts maximum against United imo. Couldn’t bring myself to bench anyone over him

          1. Digital-Real
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Leeds don't have a problem scoring, wouldn't be surprised if they score in both games in the DGW

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Neither would I, but the odds are against them imo

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Gnonto hasn't played yet....

  17. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Think everybody will be best holding off bringing in Villa defenders anytime soon then.

  18. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Transferred Toney and Mitoma in..should I be expecting anything here? Toney on track for a rare blank

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

      Rare? He score 1 point last match.

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      yeah, 4 points total

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Mitoma is looking dangerous as always

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

      What are you doing in GW25?

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

      Don't worry I'm sure Toney will add to his tally of yellow cards

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

      Mitoma has players on their knees begging him to stop https://twitter.com/Schrxding3r/status/1621901579329601538 but nothing yet.

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Stretched out his hands in a feeble attempt to grab him just after that as Mitoma flew past

  19. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Surprised no goals for Rashford or Toney yet.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Devastated

  20. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    3 Leicester goals and no WARD involvement, what the hell

  21. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bought Martial and Mudryk this week

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

      Regular M & M had better quality

  22. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Rashford TCer very nervous so far

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Leeds game is where the points will come.

  23. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Liverpool.... goodness me.

    1. Mirror Man
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Forest have more clean sheets. Very amusing imo.

        1. MamboNumberOne
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          And yet I held onto TAA until the world cup, no wonder I'm doing so badly this season.

    2. Saka White Rice
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Really Toney? REALLY?!!!!!

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bit late to the party....

      Mee!!!!!

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don't think Liverpool have won since Faes scored that brace.

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

        It was groundhog day with Wolves and Brighton battering them again and again.

      2. Mirror Man
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Lurdan Flopp has lost it.

      3. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        A reaction from Liverpool, surely.

        Nobody owns their defenders, so...

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

          Someone was asking whether they start Gomez or Bueno. Guess it didn't matter in the end...

      4. WiredWeasel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Andreas to Mahrez this week? 2 FTs so "need" to burn one. Upside is he has a double and won't blank in 25. Downside is Pep Roulette and it doesn't move on any player blanking in 25. Have 4M ITB. Team at present
        Kepa Ward
        Shaw Bueno Trippier Schar Gabriel
        Martinelli Rashford Bruno Andreas Almiron
        Haaland Kane Nketiah

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Almiron out instead gives you an extra player for 25

          1. WiredWeasel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Good point, and Andreas has already dropped in price; Almiron may too so I'd "save" that

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

          Sell Almiron and keep the cash.

          1. WiredWeasel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Looking the shrewder move, thanks

        3. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Maybe Martinelli/Almiron to Odegaard/Mahrez?

          1. WiredWeasel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks - Looking like Almiron to go!

      5. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Season over for Bueno.

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

          Why

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

            Ait Nouri is really good and he will take his place.Kilman is also a left back and with Dawson in the team...

        2. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Could have just been rested for the easy game.

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

          I fancy Ait-Nouri to have at least one defensive howler before BGW25.

      6. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Next week:

        A. KDB + Mitoma (cry)

        B. Mahrez + Bruno (lee)

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

          B
