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

    Who do people have in their squads to be benching Shaw?

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

      Botman

    2. Bobbyg1
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benched for Botman

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Schar, too much of a strong squad, I should of spread the risk

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

      Schar

    5. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I benched him for Perraud on a gut feeling. Lesson to self. Don't ever follow your gut again. Looks like an atrocious decision in the light of day

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

      Played Perisic. Spurs had 3cs in 5 games before yesterday.

    7. MissouriMarten
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      White

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

      Robertson, Saliba & Trippier, just thought Leeds would have scored

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

      Botman

    10. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Aké...so have alight chance to get him in

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

        I'd say you have close to 0% chance.

        There's 2 games and if City lead they'll bring Ake on since he's versatile and switch to a back 4.

    11. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benched Botman too. Was probably the most asked question on here pre-deadline and think most went for Botman instead.

    12. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Burn. Pretty bad mistake. I've already lost out on Shaw's points when he scored the goal in 21 and now this. Never benching again.

    13. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ake eurgh

    14. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Botman. Which is a close call based on fixture and United looked poor defensively both today and in the recent games. But, it's these decisions that goes wrong for me this season, and they punish me like crazy. Last year it went the other way.

  2. Utopsis
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Love you Shaw

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

    Shaw on for many points!

  4. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    shaw is a legend

  5. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Clean sheet needed now

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

    Rash EO slightly over 100% but as Shaw owner I can live with him scoring 🙂

  7. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A Leeds fan who benched Shaw as part of a minus 4 to sell Almiron and bring in Ake. That goal stings so bad.

  8. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    The sheer number of individuals who benched Shaw. This game is so unforgiving.

  9. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This is interesting I dropped Shaw for Ake.

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

      God how I hope he gets subbed on

    2. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So many people did. It was the right choice but it turned out wrong (at least for now)

      1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hoenits right choice? Shaw season keeper 100%

        1. A. PRISE
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ake had a double so objectively he was the better choice. Shaw is indeed a season keeper, no one doubts that

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

    Great header to be fair. Man Utd have been abysmal, but have the quality upfront to score from a few chances.

  11. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford G Shaw A and Mahrez starting, suddenly looking Bright lets go

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

    Ake, Akanji & Lewis better get minutes.

    Nothing worse than bad picks getting bailed out by bench points!

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

      True

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

    Two of my players return, finally.

  14. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Chance of ake getting 0 mins in the double?

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

    Need a Leeds goal here

    1. UKG
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No chance

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

      It's coming dw

      1. UKG
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Na

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

    Oooff Shaw straight to max baps

  17. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    2-0 Utd Garnacho G

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

    How so many played Shaw? Arsenal, City, Trippier for me.

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

      No Bruno G, no Newcastle

      Benched Botman

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No City defence, decided not worth it with poor form and rotation

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

      I have Cancelo (lol) & didn't fancy buying a City defender.

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

      I wouldn't get City def for free. Nine of them provide any attacking threat. The defensive numbers have been poor too.

    5. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No city Def or I would have

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

      it's swings and roundabouts

      I've got Estupiñán points on the bench. Could have been a monster haul missed.

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

    people benching a Shaw 12 pointer in such an awful gameweek. Unlucky

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Garnacho is fast aaf

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

      electrifying

      Good finish too

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

    2 nil Manchester United

  22. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Garnacho

  23. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GGMU!!!

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

    Weggy Wagon!

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

    GTFI!!!! Well done lads

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

    It's like the OGS years. Play well for 5 minutes and get the points.

  27. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Weghorst A

  28. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance Akanji stays on the bench for two games? Haha.. Shaw’s 12 pointer staring at me from the bench..

  29. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Benched Shaw and Andreas for Gnonto. FfS

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

    Just need a Bruno goal now... Although that's unlikely 😆

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

      YC more likely!
