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

    Shaw has 86% ownership, but has been benched by 35% of his owners

  4. OPTA FPL

    3 years, 2 months ago

    I benched Shaw for Trippier James Akanji so I'm allowed to excuse , right?

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

      I also benched him for white, trippier & Akanji lol

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

      You’ll get Shaw off your bench for Akanji anyway

    1. RICICLE

  6. It's Fergie Time

    listen to the united supporters!

  7. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My bench is strong
    Ward-3 / Toney-9 / Shaw-12 / Bueno-1

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

      Rival benched Estupiñán (7), Shaw (12) and Almiron (10).

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

        Martinez also to play.

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

        I benched Est and Almiron but played Shaw.

    2. Mighty Wings
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't consider -25 points as strong

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

        What?

  8. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford goal... offside

  9. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Had double manu defense last 3-4,weeks. Not a single cs.
    Benched shaw and sold ddg to prepare for gw 25..

    Just the 23 pts lost

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

      I’ve done exactly the same moves, prime example of double gameweek fever. We can cry together.

      Hindsight is wonderful but benching someone like Trippier over Shaw didn’t look likely earlier in the week.

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

    Rashford Goal
    Bruno assist

    Offside.

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

      FFS. Although my stream lagged and made the offside obvious.

  11. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford subbed

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

      Why not Shaw 😉

  12. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need a Mahrez haul to save my gameweek :'(

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

      Me too, to make this pain all go away

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

    22 points on my bench, 21 points from my team. Great work.

    1. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Starters-22, bench-24 so far

  14. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford has really got a lot better in the air this season. Becoming a lethal player.

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

      I noticed this too. Got much better at heading. He did have a shoulder injury pre-surgery, didn't he? Perhaps being relieved of that has given him more confidence in the air

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Needs a switch to Newcastle.

  15. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fred is the Sky MOTM...

    1. The Philosopher

  18. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Got akanji for a hit. Bemched shaw. Sold ddg.
    Had gotten into top 50k
    Season over.
    Fell into pep trap again

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

      I'm having a good week, but at 10x your tank

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

      rank

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      “Season over” sat at 50k haha.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Now will drop to 200k or so

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

      Seasons not over just a bad GW

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

    Fred deservedly MOTM. Happy for him after his shocking performance 4days ago

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fred was awful this game. Shaw/DDG should be MOTM

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

        What game were you watching? He stopped about 5+ Leeds attacks himself when they were looking likely to score

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

        DDG was good but a lot of easy saves. Shaw was good but had one or two poor back passes that almost led to goals. Fred was very good

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

        Genuinely don't think you watched

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

          Nah, must have been watching something else

  20. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maguire has a decent game, made up for him…

  21. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I changed Dunk to Shaw at the last minute....great decision

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

    That came off the defenders hand not Maguire??

  23. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years

    bench headaches lead to bench regrets

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
