The final match of Gameweek 22 features the only two teams who ‘doubled’, Manchester United and Leeds United.

Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 20:00 GMT.

All three of Erik ten Hag’s changes this evening are enforced, with two of them concerning players we knew would miss out.

Marcel Sabitzer makes his first start for the Red Devils in place of the suspended Casemiro, while Alejandro Garnacho comes in for the injured Antony.

The one unexpected alteration sees Diogo Dalot take the place of Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back.

Ten Hag revealed ahead of kick-off that Wan-Bissaka is suffering from an illness.

Anthony Martial is absent from the matchday squad with a hip problem, as previously disclosed by ten Hag in his pre-match presser.

Leeds begin life without Jesse Marsch and have caretaker boss Michael Skubala at the helm.

Skubala makes two changes from Marsch’s final line-up, with Robin Koch recalled after suspension and Weston McKennie handed his full debut.

Liam Cooper and Marc Roca drop out of both the starting XI and the matchday squad altogether.

Both players are suffering from knocks, according to their interim head coach.

GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Sabitzer, Fred, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst.

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

    70 pts frn Rash tc and Bruno is deemed a great success. 109 -4 here ,cut leaders lead in half last 5 gws.

    This is why we play FPL

  3. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bring in Gabriel

    Or

    Bench Bruno for Nketiah?

  4. Qaiss
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is Fernandes > Mahrez for a -4 worth it?

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

      Probably

  5. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martinelli, Toney > Saka, Niketiah for free?

  6. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Fernandes to Mahrez or KDB for -4?

  7. NoName
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best option?

    A) Kepa Gnonto to Forster Nketiah -4 (bench Bruno)
    B) Bruno Gnonto to Grealish Nketiah -4 (bench Rashford)

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why are you taking a hit to then bench a player that you don't want to bench? Just do Bruno to Saka/Odegaard surely?

      1. NoName
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Because I'd like triple Arsenal attack for the foreseeable future. Already have Saka and Odegaard.

  8. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Up to 20th in HOF top 1000 league. Lets get some proper look at me mummy stuff going

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      11th place here 🙂

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Good work. One season wonders spouting off are bad enough let alone one weekers.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Will be top 30.. Still a very long way.

  9. Sun Jihai

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That is an unbelievable rank.. well done.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        lol, just a random find - need to add a few zeros on to get my rank! 😀

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ouch!

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That should’ve been a great BB: Villa defence on form, good DGWer and defenders from two top teams. Came up against Maddison, Everton on fire, Spurs’ crazy home form vs City and a ref who mistook a hug for strangulation

  10. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A Rodrigo -> Mahrez
    B Bruno -> KDB

    Ta for the help’

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

  11. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    2ft. Cant afford getting both KDB and Ødegard.
    A) Bruno&Martinelli to Mahrez and Ødegard
    B) Bruno to KDB, keep Martinelli

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A for me

  12. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Had been planning to keep Bruno initially but can do Bruno almiron to mahrez saka for -4, thoughts?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Sounds good

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Do it

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Keep Bruno, he's the boss

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I think Rash is the new boss

  13. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Play Mitoma or Rashford this week?

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ouch!! If really no other option to bench then I guess it would have to be Mitoma but really, really, really wouldn't want to!!

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

        I've gone another way. See my last post on last page
        Thanks though

  14. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Taking a hit for this team. Anything else for another hit with 1.4mitb?

    White to Gabriel maybe to get nailed arsenal defender?

    Kepa
    Shaw trippier white (botman patterson)
    Kdb odegaard saka rashford (andreas)
    Haaland Kane gnonto

    Thanks

  15. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A) Bruno to KDB
    B) Bruno to Mahrez

    B allow me to do Havertz to Kane the following week.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Indpush
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  16. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I really liked Bruno tonight. He could have easily scored and assisted twice. He's everywhere, talking with and commanding everyone. Definitely keeping.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I guess the stats are on your side.
      3 CC (same as Rash).
      4 Attempts (same as Rash).
      7 pen area touches (same as Rash).

      Don't think he looked as close to nabbing something but you're right, another day...

  17. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    GTG?

    Ederson
    Trippier - Estupinan - Badiashile
    Rashford - Saka - Odegaard - Mitoma
    Haaland - Kane - Nketiah

    Ward - Bruno - Shaw - Moreno

    0.4 ITB, 1 FT. Feels wrong to bench 2 ManU players...maybe Shaw in for Badiashile? Also can consider Bruno -> Mahrez but then I'd have to bench Mitoma.

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who to play ?
    A- Mitoma CRY (A)
    B- Mitro NFO (H)

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mitro.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A. Forest defence looking strong and Mitoma can’t stop scoring

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes With Navas GK

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I can't fathom benching Mitoma currently.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

    5. Krafty Werks

    6. OptimusBlack

      Cheers

  19. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Question 1 - Play Mitoma v Palace or take a -4 to get Mahrez with the double?

    Question 2 - Cucurella > Ake for a -4?

    Thanks.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No no noooo

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        ...you don't love me and I know now!!

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    It's better to Saka than Nketiah ?
    Specially with Keeping Mitro

  21. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best option here
    A- White Aké Bruno

    B- White Shaw KDB
