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

    Avling loves a lie on the ball doesn't he? Like the 3rd time he's done that this half alone.

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

      Yup! One of his favorite moves 😀

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

        If in doubt, have a lie down

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any BPS for that?

  2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Maguires been good today. Hope he gets a move to a big club

  3. Scalper

    Maguire on 3 BAPs. Typical

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

      Should've started him

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

      That Carragher style, make mistakes and lose the ball so you have more chances to make tackles and interceptions

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He’s 78th of my bench

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is everyone at Ellend Road hung over, including the 22 on the pitch?

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

    Bruno shot again
    Nothing of it again

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

      Felt more like a pass into Meslier

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

        Indeedy. At least he's taking them though.

    2. Ivan Toney Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Feels like with Bruno it's either an awful shot or goal, no in between

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

    Not the most encouraging half for the lad on TC Rashford

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

      That's what mud-slinging gets you!

  7. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Weghorst terrible today. Invisible

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

      Every game. No idea what Ten Hag sees in him.

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

      When was he any better?

    3. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      His real name is Wegworst.

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

      He was never any good

    5. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Get more joy out of whacking a bratwurst up front

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

    Okay, that was funny

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno has been terrible

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

  12. tiger

  13. Royal5

    1. Freshy

  15. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years

    Go on, Meslier!

  16. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    He really has to score this, wonder what’s the xG of this chance.

  17. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    ffs bruno

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

  19. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Meslier you hero!

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

    Rash was half a step away from a goal on that corner

  21. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    There's a spurs fan in my ML who refuses to have any Arsenal players (got zero for this GW). His ranks just 200K

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1869495/event/23

    Would there ever be any reason you would not buya player

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

      Yes Digne the troll

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope , points over sentiment

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Let's check on his rank after 25

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

      Mason Greenwood

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ok yep

      2. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'll be surprised if we're put in that position with him any time soon though.

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

        Yep he's one I wouldn't get

        I remember last season a few people sold/wouldn't buy zouma

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

      I used to do that when it came to Spurs players, which is why my rank history isn’t good pre 2019

      No point playing FPL if you won’t pick players for reasons like that though

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

      I don't really do that on rivalries. Maybe had a slight aversion to buying Man Utd players (Leeds fan) which worked out just fine last season but I had to cave on this post World Cup. Doesn't really bother me.

      Maybe different for Mason Greenwood.

      As a Liverpool fan, Haaland’s caused me a problem this year. It’s been easy enough the last couple of years to own key City players (KDB, Cancelo) and still cheer against them due to ownership. Hoped it would be the same with Haaland so owned but didn’t captain him for the first 12 weeks or so - been playing catch up since!

  22. g40steve

    Get Maguire off asap too slow in deciding what pass.

    Too many side to side & back passes

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah he's dreadful

    2. Ivan Toney Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Slows the game down so much, Fred doesn't help either

  23. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This the type of Gameweek where Maguire will claim max BPS.

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

    How United didn’t put away one of those 2 chances at the end of the half is very annoying. The weeks when the others drop points they don’t seem to take advantage of it. Hopefully better in the second half

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

    United without Eriksen & Casemiro are just poor

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

      Agree

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

      Unfortunately this. We look a completely different team without them. At least Cas is back soon.

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

        Well have him for the Barca games at least

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

      And people wonder why Liverpool aren't doing great.

  26. DaveZubie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leeds could be ahead, United should be ahead.

    Second half could go anyway

  27. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My team is so good this gw I got punished by Andreas, Almiron and Toney for a 100k drop

    Toney I can accept, he's a good asset, but being punished by Almiron and Andreas hurts

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

      I also removed Toney and Almiron this week. Especially Almiron hurts after holding for so many weeks due to other priority moves.

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        yeah, if Bruno and Mahrez stays quiet this gw I'm in for a huge red

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

      I sold almiron for mahrez & benched pereira

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maguire is having a mare

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

      Yeah, get him off

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

      Utd in general are having a mare

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

    Liverpool women's team getting beaten by the bottom of the league team - solidarity with the men's team! 😀

    MU looks like conceding very soon 🙁
