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.

    Fred wastes a potential Rashford assist.

  18. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    West Ham GK needs to be investigated, something dodgy going in

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      What about the rest of the team?

  19. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    my c got 8 pts over 2 games and still got 138 pts, I'll take it.

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Isak or Wilson to bring in, then?

  21. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    How is Isak in the bonus as well. This game just sucks .

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      2 bonus, jeez

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years

  22. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Guess Fabianski also kneejerked Isak in this week then

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Is Kepa actually likely to be dropped by Frank?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Maybe not but they won't keep clean sheets under him

  24. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    4 goals for Newcy and no Trippier return, can’t be right - I’ll just assume it’s still updating

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Need Rashford to hold this CS point desperately

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Why? He would get 2-3 bonuses if they concede.

  26. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Would love a little attacking return for Shaw

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      GW30?

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

    3. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

  27. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Shaw owners playing him vs Everton?

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      no

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Irrelevant question

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Why?

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Stones incoming

  28. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Could Raya get 3rd save if nothing else is going to happen 🙁

  29. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    Isak on 2 bonuses as well. Easiest 6p ever.

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Rigged.

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      Yeah - nice little 15% overall swing for me. Not a bad GW given that my captain, Haaland, didn't even play.

  30. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 17 days ago

    I would love it if Brighton and Newcastle got top four ahead of two other more "established" top four teams

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 17 days ago

      It'd be cool but the schedule would also kill them the next season.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 17 days ago

        Let me just live in the moment.....
