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

    Man Utd dreadful start to second half, but Leeds unable to punish them.

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

      Only a matter time now

  2. Paqueta Rice

    Thank you Fred. After a poor game 4days ago he has had a decent game so far today. United all over the shop.

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

    Anyone worse than this? Did Almiron and Cucurella to Odegaard and Lewis for a -4. Lewis KDB and Haaland left to play.

    Kepa
    Trippier
    White
    Bruno
    Rashford
    Odegaard
    Martinelli
    Kane

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

      Add botman for a 1 & swap martinelli for nketia
      Just Mahrez & haaland left today

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On 14 points with 3 left to play.
      Took out Toney and Martinelli for at hit.

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

        3 to play only? Not more Ars and City players?

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

    Man Utd reversing to the mean.

    Ten Fraud after spendiding big time, having a bath of reality.

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

      He hasn’t spent as much as others have and nobody would have expected United to be back in the top 3 already under him. You’re talking trollop.

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He hasn’t spent as munch? In one season? Antony, Casemiro, Malacia, Martinez..

        He wishes to finish 2nd with and EL in his pocket like Mourinho.

        1. DMP
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          And then, playing with Wout Weghorst and dismissing Ronaldo. What a troll.

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

            Ronaldo was an attitude problem and they have been soaring up the table since. It was the correct decision.

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

          As much as some of the other teams, no. United finished 13 points off top 4 last year in 6th place. Looking well on to finish top 4 this year and you are calling him Ten Fraud? How many seasons was Klopp in charge before Liverpool won the league?

  5. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dias starting for City. Rotation in defence then

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

      Lewis will be benched for sure

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If they decide to play a flat back 4 then yes.

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

      I mentioned this in one of my posts. That Dias should start.

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

      Is mahrez starting?

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I blame Andy Carroll for this.

  7. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A De Gea haul would be great, this Kepa hauls have hurt lately

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      *these

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Needed so badly

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Bruno moaning

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Watching it on the hub?

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

      Tactical. Clever.

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

      Would be sent off if it were the Soton referee yesterday

  9. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Need a Leeds goal

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

    Bruno decided that they need time out.

  11. sulldaddy
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Easy Hot Take.

    Maguire is bad at playing this game.

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Expecting a Bruno yc any minute now. Looks frustrated.

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

      Definitely incoming

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

      A red would be better. And suit him perfectly well.

  13. Nas
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Say what you want about martinelli but he’s still my highest points scorer this gw.

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

      Mine too, sorry state of this GW ..... same team scored 100+ last week

  14. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bamford is finished as a footballer.
    Massively overrated.

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

      Was so good in his first FPL season

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        During lockdown when no fans and most teams played matches as if they were training games. Leeds and their high tempo play was a stark contrast to the pedestrian nature of some teams that season. Things changed when fans came back.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Just coming back from huge lay-off, i hazard you’ve shot your bolt early there squire

      1. nerd_is_the_werd
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Was that the same bolt he shot criticising the manager's tactics, whilst not producing anything himself on the pitch?

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Nope, you’ve confused your bolts there

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

      Has just come back from a long layoff.

  15. DMP
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Benching Ronaldo to play Weghorst.

    Really?

    1. DMP
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo with 50 years old still better then this guy.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, he's sitting on a bench in Saudi

        1. DMP
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          At 38. 🙂

          How many he s scored last season with this United team?

          1. DMP
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            More than Weghorst in his hole entire on PL? Already counting till it’s retirement.

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

        If ronaldo is so great why did no top European team want him. Saudi & US were his only options

        1. DMP
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Because he is 38?

          Because he is the most well paid footballer all time?

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

      Should bring on Van Persie instead.

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Van Nislterooy.

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

      Ronaldo and bench are a match made in heaven. Let's not disturb that beautiful alliance.

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        GL finishing 4td and rival with Newcastle or Brighton. Let’s hope Ronaldo return to the PL to Newcastle, next season.

    4. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benching Ronaldo to unleash Rashford more like

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Great. With Rashford unleashed they will finish 3rd or 4rd. Beware with Brighton and Newcastle.

  16. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Leeds going through on away goals as it stands.

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

      Sure playing like it's a second leg and they are up on away goals.

  17. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    apparently Lewis, Ake and Foden on the bench

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

      What about mahrez

  18. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Maguire 3 bonus

  19. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Now Summerville is what I call a honest player.
    Few times (nearly) tackled in the box where a lot of players would call for a pen.
    Not a peep out of him, just stands up and moves on. Love to see it.

  20. _Ninja_

    3 years, 1 month ago

  27. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years

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

      Lol I really thought Ake was a safeish pick.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'm glad I didn't go with either!

  28. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A Gnonto goal would be very useful right about now. I played him ahead of Andreas this week and I've also got Shaw on my bench.

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

      Nope, I started Shaw.

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

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

    1. bialk
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte, Dias, Walker

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

        Big squad and lots of talent

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
