After a busy Saturday of Premier League action, Double Gameweek 23 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at 14:00 GMT, as Leeds United host Manchester United at Elland Road.

The teams played out an entertaining 2-2 draw just four days ago, with Wilfried Gnonto, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho on the scoresheet.

As for the all-important team news, Erik ten Hag makes three changes for the visitors, with Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia and Sancho coming in for Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho.

Those changes suggest Luke Shaw will be deployed at centre-back alongside Maguire. Further forward, Sancho makes his first Premier League start since Gameweek 13, joining Bruno Fernandes, Rashford and Wout Weghorst in attack.

Caretaker manager Michael Skubala makes two alterations for Leeds. Pascal Struijk and Luis Sinisterra were both forced off in the first half at Old Trafford on Wednesday and subsequently miss out. They’re replaced by Junior Firpo and Crysensio Summerville, who has an impressive four goals and two assists in his last eight Premier League appearances.

GAMEWEEK 23 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Wober, Firpo, McKennie, Adams, Summerville, Harrison, Gnonto, Bamford

Subs: Robles, Aaronson, Gyabi, Rutter, Kristensen, Monteiro, Greenwood, Joseph, Chilokoa-Mullen

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Maguire, Shaw, Malacia, Fred, Sabitzer, Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst

Subs: Heaton, Lindelof, Martinez, Varane, Pellistri, Wan-Bissaka, Elanga, Garnacho, Iqbal

        One of them to miss has a decent chance especially Akanji

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully not but of Ake, Akanji & him he's the most likely to get 0 mins.

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

    Akanji owners might get lucky here yet!

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

      Walker?

  3. Dennis System
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who comes in for Walker? Ake?

    1. putana
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      akanji probably

  4. jason_ni

  5. Shultan

    My only player to return this week hurts my rank
    Horrible GW....only mahrez can save me

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If Walker is injured, advantage Martinelli holders!

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

      You spelt Trossard wrong!

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

        A little bit of both!

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can I put Toney in off my bench as a defender just this week please to replace Akanji

  7. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Oh man, people who benched Shaw and played Walker might be in luck. He didn’t complete the warm up but not sure if that means he is not playing.

    1. HollywoodXI
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw benched tor Walker here…I’d take the luck!

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I never get luck like that. I benched Shaw for Perisic 😳

  8. Dennis System
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    The only thing that can save my week is a freak injury to Walker and Akanji starting

  9. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    23 pts on the field.

    23 pts on the bench.

    Have only myself to blame wasting bb earlier

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch 23 bench is above average

  10. OLEgend
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Benched Toney and Shaw. Expected a goal from Toney but didn't expect a haul from Shaw.

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

      Fortunate to keep a CS to be fair!

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Should have played Toney if you expected a goal eh

  11. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    benched shaw, played botman 🙁

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Need a Botman & Ward replacement?

  13. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle double up with Shaw first bench. Anyone else?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Technically Bruno 1st bench but Shaw 1st defender

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Now for an uncapped Haaland v Calum f-ing Chambers. Bring it on!

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

          Haha going well so far!

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

            Oh… just refreshed the BBC page…

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

          “Sadly for him Calum Chambers heads the ball past him.

          Erling Haaland can't score…”

          Kinda the match up you were talking about…

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

        Those were genuinely good chances. I thought the second game would be cagier too. Despite that ignoring my own post at some point recently about Shaw having more attacking potential at the moment.

        Ah well!

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

          Good choices*

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Even worse, second bench

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

        Ooof. How in-depth is your squad? Who’s on first?

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

    Did Walker not complete the warm-up because he needed the toilet or because he got injured?

    1. Dennis System
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He unfortunately got injured having a poo

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

    Walker is back out. Maybe just had to go for a number 2

  16. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Did walker get injured in warm up or was it just nature calling?

      just to clear up a potentially sticky situation

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

        😉

  17. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It's all down to this. Which option scores more?

    A) KDB (C) + Haaland + Walker + 2 points
    B) KDB + Haaland (C) + Mahrez

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

      you'd think B but anything can happen

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

    Bruno actually had the highest xGI of any player in both games vs. Leeds
    Holders unlucky

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

      Not all of them. Or yes, I lost one point because of benching him for Mitro this week.

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

      Was why I kept him this time around. Ah well!

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

      Yep we got a little lucky , seller

  19. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland to miss a penalty in this game....

  20. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I have Ake, Mahrez and Haaland TC here... Estupinan who's 2nd on my bench will probably outscore all of them.

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

    When are the more popular weeks to WC in?
