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

    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
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bring in Gabriel

    Or

    Bench Bruno for Nketiah?

  4. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Fernandes > Mahrez for a -4 worth it?

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably

  5. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinelli, Toney > Saka, Niketiah for free?

  6. ZakAFC_
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Fernandes to Mahrez or KDB for -4?

  7. NoName
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month 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
      3 years, 1 month 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
        3 years, 1 month ago

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

  8. GENERATION X

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years

      That is an unbelievable rank.. well done.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch!

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month 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
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A Rodrigo -> Mahrez
    B Bruno -> KDB

    Ta for the help’

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  11. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month 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
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A for me

  12. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month 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
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good

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

      Do it

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Bruno, he's the boss

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think Rash is the new boss

  13. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Mitoma or Rashford this week?

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month 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
        3 years, 1 month ago

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

  14. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month 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
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month 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
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Indpush
      • 8 Years

      B

  16. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month 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
      3 years, 1 month 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
    3 years, 1 month 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
    3 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitro.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes With Navas GK

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

      I can't fathom benching Mitoma currently.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    5. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    6. OptimusBlack

      Cheers

  19. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month 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
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No no noooo

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

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

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

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

  21. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago
