The biggest Double Gameweek of 2022/23 comes to a conclusion this evening with two more Premier League matches, both of which get underway at 20:00 BST.

There’s European qualification and top-flight survival at stake as Manchester United host Brentford and West Ham United take on Newcastle United.

There’s significant Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in tonight’s fixtures, too, of course:

There aren’t too many shocks when it comes to the all-important team news, particularly at Old Trafford.

It’s one change apiece: Erik ten Hag brings in Jadon Sancho for Wout Weghorst, while Thomas Frank recalls Mads Roerslev at the expense of Aaron Hickey.

Probably the headline line-up call of the night comes from the London Stadium, where Eddie Howe has brought in Sunday’s goalscoring match-sealer Callum Wilson for Alexander Isak up top.

Joe Willock, who was a doubt for this match due to hamstring discomfort, also drops to the bench, with Joelinton taking his place in midfield.

Hosts West Ham have also changed their central striker as Michail Antonio comes in for Danny Ings.

That’s the Hammers’ only alteration from their 1-0 win over Southampton.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford.

      I'll take that!

    Odeehard & gabriel outscoring my Shaw & bruno transfers!

  5. Old Bull

    So if Shaw was brought in for -4 and only scores 2pts, can someone explain to me that law that says -4 in a DGW isn’t a -4?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 19 days ago

      He only scored 1...

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        I’d eradicated the 0pts from my memory. You’re quite right.

    2. Gandalf

      Because most of the time you would expect 4 appearance points and 2 games to get other returns.

    3. Vlekz
        3 years, 19 days ago

        It's for blank game weeks. Brining in someone who plays for someone who doesn't gives you appearance points at the minimum (mostly). So it's effectively a -2 that way(don't consider cards and stuff)

        1. Vlekz
            3 years, 19 days ago

            For dgw. It's the same logic too. 2 extra appearance points. But a sgw could have a better fixture so there is always a risk. Blank gw doesn't have that

        2. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          For me that rule applies dor attackers. Defenders have more routes to negative points. Shaw getting injured when United finally keeps cw that's just what it is.

      • Kodap

        Urgh, needed that Newcastle cleanie, pain.

      • Tonyawesome69

          Antonio doing what we does best for us! 😀

      • Brehmeren
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Anthony has to he the most overrated player in the PL

        1. Brehmeren
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Antony

        2. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Do people rate him?

        3. Red Star Toro
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          I think we have different definitions of overrated, not even us United fans rate him, it’s his first season and we overpaid but it’s different things

        4. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          I don’t even think many rate him that highly

        5. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          I think you just meant "overvalued."

      • DycheDycheBaby

        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Couldn't get any worse than this maybe all players get sent off for a massive brawl

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Would take that as a Liverpool fan. Top 4 here we come.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 19 days ago

            Oh don’t.

      • SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Good few minutes to be a shaw and double Newcastle defence owner …

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          My fault, started dreaming of 150 if everyone held on...

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 19 days ago

            I feel you. 122 here at the moment and that's with Badiashile wasting two fixtures

      • fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        So no double clean sheets for anyone

      • SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Did Pinnock to Zouma, feels good now

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Did Fofana to Zouma, so I feel good too.

        2. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Avoided them all as when I last looked they were flagged and didn't like the look of Zouma. Kherer was the one I wanted

        3. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          I did Henry > Zouma.
          Was almost embarrassed at the time. But turns out it was a stroke of genius

      • Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Emerson YC? FOR WHAT?!

      • Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Poor goal for Newcastle to concede, Pope was flapping

      • fusen
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        My single transfer for this DGW was Henry out for Shaw

        Feels a bit of a waste at this point 😛

      • fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 19 days ago

        Ah everyone saying Shaw off meant subbed off? I thought red card

      • Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years

        Maddison or MacAllister >

        a) Grealish

        b) Eze

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Eze (I am biased)

          • 9 Years
          3 years, 19 days ago

          Yep, now he can wipe those points away from United.
