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.

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

      You're mere subjects. Slaves for 1000 years. Miserable little island.

      Football and beer are given to dull your misery

        Ha ha the poor chap was only asking a light question question, and he gets hit with this existentialist load that will have him questioning everything...

        Remember mate : it's only a fantasy football forum

        1. FCHaalandaise
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough!

  2. Rainer

    BamBam assist

    What a strike!

  3. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What the hell. That wasn’t in the script

  4. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Makes selling Shaw easier then

  5. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years

    Gnonto pronto!!!!!

  6. dansmusen
    • 8 Years

    PLZ stay this way (And I have Rashford C)

  7. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Of course I benched Gnonto lol, worked first game, then scored in the harder game of dear

    1. SamH123
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      are you getting confused maybe?
      This is still the previous GW

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No? Why? Previous GW?

        1. SamH123
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          oh ok I suppose you just benched him. I didn't think you would bench a starter who has a double GW so I read it wrong

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      United clear sheet now gone

    3. dr. Phil
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You benched a double gw player?

  8. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Worst possible start. Screw this game

  9. 1zverGGadeM
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    YESS Gnonto, my boy!

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I was 50/50 in DGW - sort of wished now had chosen him,
      well done all Gnonto FPL Managers who sign him

    2. 1zverGGadeM
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've got him in for Mbeumo for -4 so there's some mixed feelings if it was the right decision currently.
      Still happy with that move. Next week it's the same United team at home, so he could deliver there too 🙂

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Don't feel so bad about AWB missing out now

  19. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Oh no, this has given me a benching headache. I was going to leave Gnonto out, but he's got Man Utd at home up next.....

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No reason to say he’ll score next game just because he scored this game so early.

  20. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Well I’m glad I didn’t jump on the Shaw train for a hit as Dalot is a bargain at his current price plus I couldn’t see a clean sheet anyway

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lol

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I’m guessing you have Shaw lmao

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I do, but you've worked hard to find the silver lining here

          1. FantasyClub
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Nah not that hard to figure seeing how annoyed you were at my post lmao

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd be thinking of getting rid of all United players bar Rashford now

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I would be too

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Leeds United giving it a good go

    Perhaps they should sack a manager every week?!

  22. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guess everyone has Shaw so doesn't really matter

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, defensive EO is just shy of 100%.

    2. SamH123
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      i have varane

  23. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Man Uniteds bench only has one regular starter in attack and he's been out for 3 months.

    Where did that billion pounds get spent \0/

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wall Street

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

      Haven't you seen Avram Glazer's new yacht?

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Double CS wipeout after 2 mins. Disappointed, not surprised.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      This is the way!

  25. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Triple captain gonna be a fail. Rashford on the right wing

  26. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Gnontooooooooooo

  27. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Teams shouldn't be able to sack their manager midway through a dgw. They were properly crap before.

  28. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Fernandes assist? Or BBC typo

    The Italian youngster plays a one-two with Bruno Fernandes and drills and absolute thunderbolt into the bottom corner from 20 yards.

  29. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    C'mon Shaw! Do something.

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

    Glad I just went for Bruno and Rashford!
