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.

Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, Sancho, Pellistri, Elanga, Iqbal, Mainoo.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Wober, Struijk, Adams, McKennie, Sinisterra, Harrison, Gnonto, Bamford.

Subs: Robles, Firpo, Aaronson, Summerville, Gyabi, Rutter, Kristensen, Greenwood, Joseph.

    Big week for Arsenal coming up. If ManU drop points and they can beat City they’ll be in the pole seat, there’s to lose

  2. Bluetiger1

    Rashford looks like getting 1BPS

  3. Zimo

    Good game this

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yer really enjoying it - despite the less-than-optimal FPL outcome ha.

  6. Norco
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fred is like that kid that has absolutely no skill, but is only in the team because his father is best mates with the coach.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And Weghorst?

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

        He's the requirement for the disability grant.

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

    Fred mate...

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I blame Ten Hag. Poor starting lineup.

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

      That horse should have never started.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not even fit for the bench

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No Casemiro, Antony, Eriksen, Wan-Bissaka, Martial, Van de Beek, McTominay. Sancho not fit enough to start.

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

    Rashford TC fail 🙁

    What could have been...

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

      Nice fishing mate. Not biting

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

        Literally the only thing Rainer does here. Gets a bit old, just ignore.

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

          You soun sour. Who is your TC and when?

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

            Rashford TC. 113 total.

          2. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Sorry 116*

      Silly post

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

      I blame the Leeds board for sacking Marsch

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

        Reply fail. Meant for above comment.

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

      Magnus Carlsen captained Shaw lol

    5. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Only 20? Shame.

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Disaster 🙁

      Group hug not enough. We need more help.

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

    Gnonto the little hero.

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

    So the qustion is: Would the ones that didn't use the TC switch for Rash given the opportunity?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone would take 20pts from the TC

    2. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If he had gotten another goal or assist I think yes although still a good outcome but the explosive Haaland has me hopeful. He could easily bag a hat trick against Villa and 3 bonus

    3. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      More of a question of: Would you consider quitting FPL if you didn't take his 60-point TC performance into the scoreboard? Trailing a large portion of FPL and putting huge pressure on whoever you might use that chip on instead now

  12. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    3 - Gnonto (32)
    2 - Dalot (27)
    1 - Rashford (24)

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

      Shiiiiit

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

      Great game for Rashford triple captainer and Gnonto owner.

  13. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sunday I bet Rashford is on the left from the start 😀

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

      Any thoughts on prediction below?

      Leeds United 0 v 3 Manchester United

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Could easily been that tonight if Wegrubbish, Sabitzer & Nacho were left out

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah but Sancho has played 30 minutes tonight. Who could he have played from the beginning? Sancho couldn't have done a full match. It would have been irresponsible. Sancho could maybe start now and play 60 and then come off.

  14. BECKS TO THE FUTURE

    Wish goalies would stop falling on the ball for an hour like they’re trying to win the opening round in Arena B in Physical: 100…

    Bit niche.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They need to start enforcing the 6 second rule and it would soon stop

    2. BurlingtonDriftersFC
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I've been watching that! Addictive. Should get some keepers into that competition.

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

        The editing is driving me spare but it’s fun!

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

          Definitely - replaying the build up to the dramatic moment 3 times from 3 different angles - ugh.

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

    another Man Utd charge for the title ends after 3 days 🙂

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

      Hilarious

  16. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Well done to those who used the TC on rashford. Great return.

    Finished on 90 points and a red arrow!

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Red arrow - can't be right - possible wait until everything adjusted

    2. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes well done Rashford TCs. I got 95 with Bruno TC so not too bad.

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very happy. Had much worse returns from the TC's than this

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Def a good result. I’d say 12-15 is a decent return and anything above that is brilliant

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

          I agree

        2. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yup

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

      You need to drop down to about the five-million mark with me. Green arrow no problem.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      TC Rash and I still didn't get that many points

      Wow that's the way the game is nowadays

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Anything over 50pts used to be good! Average must be 65-70 now

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

      Rashford TC gave me 100 points. Up to 25k OR.

  17. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Well done Natedog. 34 points short of his target but still equal highest scoring defender

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

      Hah more than I expected!

    For all those TC'ing H next week given today's outcome, I'd save that TC if I were you (as an R (TC this week) and H owner). Plenty more opportunities down the line. As opposed to an emotional, boringly obvious (and statistically rash) decision that the sheep will take by TC'ing H.

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

      Can't TC someone who has to play at the Emirates. Just my opinion.

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

    109 all out, happy days.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Congrats

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

      I am 120 happy for sure but really want another goal or assist from Rashford 🙁

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

      Same.

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well played

  20. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    6 points from Summerville most unexpected but gratefully received nonetheless.

  21. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    60pts TC is it a win ??

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

      Haaland will answer to that 🙂

      1. dshv
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I am afraid of that..

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    3. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I got 3 last season so yes.

    4. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Very hard to beat.

  22. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So:

    Rash(c) + Bruno = 52p
    Bruno(c) + Rash = 42p
    Rash (tc) + Bruno = 72p
    Bruno (tc) + Rash = 56p

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

      2nd is 44pts

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

        true

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

      B for me oh wait…

  23. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    100 points and back under 100k

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

      Well done Tony!Inside 1m for the first time this season!Wilfried Gnonto my hero!

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nice one! Well done on the Gnonto pick. Good goal as well

  24. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My first TC to get 20+ pts in a few seasons.
    Even sweeter is the top 2 in my league captained Haaland.

  25. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Keep Bruno or -4 out for Mahrez?

  26. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    89 all out, went Bruno TC over Rash, not great. Most rivals went TC rash or just cap Rash and have scored similar or higher, meh at least that chip is out the way.

  27. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which is better for DGW 23
    A- Aké White Bruno
    C- Shaw White KDB
    B- Shaw Aké Saka -4
    Plz help

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Captain Hindsight is telling me I should have TC Rashford.

    Should I Just get over it and TC Haaland for 23?

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

      Haaland 23 or Saka 25!

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

        Saka beat this once this season GW10 11 where he scored 15pts and 9pts

        2 goals v Pool
        1 goal v Leeds

        Going to be tough for him to beat 20pts in all honesty.

  29. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    20 points is TC success. It doesn't matter if you get them from Rashford, Haaland or anyone else.

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

      Of course it is. Surely nobody saying 20 is not a success.

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

    Bruno(C) a wasteful punt but at least Dalot softened the blow
