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.

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

  7. Mr. O'Connell

    Think my last goalkeeper clean sheet was in about week 9

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

      You've had a clean sheet this season !!!?

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

        People were reeling off their season goalkeeper scores on Friday after another Kepa 10 pointer (who I sold during WC).

        Saw 120s banded about. I'm on 57.

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

          57 too with a super consistent stream of Ward 1 pointers. The 120s are one week teams. Don't bother.

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

            At least I stopped the Ward 1 point rot (hopefully) with a DDG 3 or 4 this week

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

    Yes Gnonto. Good stuff

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

      It’s not for me, on the bench lol

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was going to bench next week - not sure now

  9. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    The big question is ...

    Is Neco now an oop starter for defensive rocks NOF. ?

  10. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Utd giving up a lot of space at the back.
    Leeds could get a hatful if they keep defending like that

          3 years, 2 months ago

          Try harder they should

    8. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years

      This sort of wankery is so tiresome

    9. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years

      you really Nerd & Weird

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

    Bruno has been Uniteds best player so far, Leeds that is.

  14. Fake Madrid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    In game week 25, I was thinking of using the free hit option, as seven of my players dont have a game.

    But Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton and another team have double game weeks.

    So I would keep my players from my template, but have double game week players for Game week 25.

    What do you all think,is it a genius plan or what

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

      It would be genius. Only issue is that you'll probably already have 3 Arsenal players by then. And the other teams doubling are rubbish

      1. Fake Madrid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True.

        But the Arsenal players I have are defenders, and be able to keep my transfers, seven players not playing then in my team as it is

        Mixture mainly of
        Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton.

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

    Bruno trying to correct the BBC error

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

      What did I miss?

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

        Gnonto G Bruno A per BBC apparently. Then he actually played a weird one-two with Gnonto just after

      2. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wow.

        Pascal Struijk wins the ball off Bruno Fernandes and finds Wilfried Gnonto.

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

  16. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Of course it all had to go wrong against LEEDS

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

      Interim Manager bounce 😛

  17. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Another United title challenge comes to a premature end…

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Title challenge..really believe that ❓

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nope.

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

    Bruno making my "who to sell for Saka" decision somewhat easier

  19. ‘Tis the Season
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not missing much this second game with AWB not selected

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

    Amazed United didn't appeal the Casemiro red.

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

      And get it extended to 4 games and miss the Carabao Cup final?

      Hands around his neck isn't getting overturned.

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Match of the Day proved it wasn't round the neck though.

      2. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Precisely this

      3. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Why he was strangling van de beek anyway is beyond me

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

      If FA considered it a spurious appeal they add a 4th game which would have meant missing the Cup Final

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

    Sabizter & Carthorse non existent

  22. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Garnacho looks like Simple Jack

  23. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Really don't understand why you would play your best player and the most inform player in the league out of position just to accommodate a youngster, should work the other way round if it has to work that way.

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

      Agreed. Garnacho just missed a chance Rashford would have buried.

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

    SMH stop ruining Rashford (TC) please and thank you.

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

    Garnacho wastes Bruno assist.

  26. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any good streams for th3 match lads ? Having no luck tonight

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

      Don't think we can share links technically 😛

      But I do love watching soccer streams (reddit ones).

  27. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Garnacho should score

  28. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sabitzer really does fancy the long-range shots

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Marcel Howitzer

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

      Two very poor attempts so far

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

      Not Eriksen quality shown so far

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

    Rashford knocks out defender

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

    Knockout
