Thursday night sees Gameweek 37 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) come to a conclusion, as Manchester United host Chelsea at Old Trafford. A point for Erik ten Hag’s side will secure UEFA Champions League qualification for next season.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Whilst the match is on, Andy North and arch-rival Greyhead will be chatting about their teams and the week’s biggest talking points over on our YouTube channel in another exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

The live chat will be open as usual and the stream is watchable via the embedded video below from 20:00 BST.

As for the team news, Man Utd are unchanged from the side that started their 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday. That means Marcus Rashford returns as a substitute, having missed the past two games through injury and illness.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard makes three changes from Sunday’s defeat at Manchester City, as Carney Chukwuemeka, Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk come in for Thiago Silva, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Raheem Sterling, who isn’t even on the bench.

Joao Felix, however, has recovered from the minor injury that forced him to drop out of the matchday squad last weekend and starts as a sub.

GAMEWEEK 37 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Martial

Subs: Butland, Maguire, Rashford, Malacia, Fred, Dalot, Weghorst, McTominay, Garnacho

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, W Fofana, Chalobah, Hall, Enzo, Chukwuemeka, Gallagher, Madueke, Mudryk, Havertz

Subs: Mendy, Thiago Silva, Pulisic, Felix, Loftus-Cheek, Ziyech, Koulibaly, D Fofana, Gilchrist

    Hall getting max bonus is just crazy haha

  2. Peter Ouch
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What on earth with Hall 3 bps

  3. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    As a DDG, Rash and Shaw owner that goal was painful, brings my lead down to just 11 in one and 15 in another... close

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Shaw wasn't on the pitch.

  4. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    FFS ML owner has Rashford, I have Bruno. What a waste...not even an assist for the goal either

    1. Kodap
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It wasn't an assist, for the 10000th time. Rashford scored his own rebound.. read the rules.

  5. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Holllllllld that Bap Bruno

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

    2. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Gone to Hall, for the first time ever in FPL a player receives x4 BPS, due to his fantastic performance, assists, goals, effect on the game/result and being on the better team

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        DESERVED IT. ONLY CHELSEA PLAYER THAT SHOWED UP

  6. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Will Rashford start vs Fulham?

  7. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Gk are ederson and Pope.

    I prob won't have a starting gk right?!

    But no point using a ft for it I guess.

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why won't Pope play?

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Injured

      2. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Had an op, moved it earlier once cl was confirmed.

  8. Weasel Boy

    Sh1te

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I would never have believed that United would finish above Liverpool this season. Terrific progress.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      More down to Spurs, Chelsea and Pool being shite

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Spurs and Pool have been better than Rangnick's United. Things were really bad last season...

      2. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Their points total would be good enough for cl in past 5 seasons.

        Not sure how the other teams come into it.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Both ways.. Much progress from united and a decline from us.

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

    Where did those Sancho points come from??? Fk this gamr

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Passes I assume

  11. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno out of the bonus

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Joke. Casemiro too, who actually deserves 3. This game is pathetic.

      1. thegame983
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Stop complaining.

        1. DycheDycheBaby
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Why? That's what everyone does on this site dude lol

  12. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    DDG and Martial owner and turned off the game at 70 mins, knew it was too good to last!

  13. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    No baps for Bruno

  14. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    63 (-4) all out, miserable

      65 here safely 66 so red

  15. Calculated Risks

    17/18 green arrows since being 3.7 mill after gw19. Up to 360k with FH in pocket.
    Even though one of my lowest ever finishes still feels like a good season after the terrible first half.

  16. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hall 3
    Sancho 2
    Martial 1

    1. Calderano FC
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Shambles

    2. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hall getting 3 bonus is hilarious

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Concede 4 goals... here's 3bp for your clearances and short passes. Lol this system.

  17. Holteenderinthesky
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Sancho coming from absolutely no where for BPS, Hall getting 3. And Martial jumping up even though he didn't play the last 20 minutes. BPS literally makes no sense and clear they make it up

    1. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Martial got the winning goal so that's why his jumped up. Sancho set up a couple of late opportunities.

      1. Holteenderinthesky
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        They won 4-1, Martial, Bruno and Rashford technically got the winning goals.

        1. Shteve
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          No, Martial got the second goal - in fantasy football that's the winning goal so he got extra points for that. Casemiro would have got them if Chelsea didn't score

          1. Holteenderinthesky
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            He shouldn't ge getting points for that. A winning goal is basically 1-0, 2-1 etc. Not because he scored the 2nd goal in a game man u were 4-0 up in. That's what I mean the whole system is wrong. And literally no explanation whatsoever for Halls BPS.

      2. xuwei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Makes sense - now explain Hall?

        1. Shteve
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Straight forward, Shaws point per min on the pitch that he gets, auto transfers to the other left back when he's taken off 😛

    2. Holteenderinthesky
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They should just get rid of the BPS, games much clearer then

      1. Fintroy
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Agree... way too contentious

  18. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with this squad? 2FT 0ITB

    Ederson
    TAA Trippier Shaw
    Mitoma MacA Salah Rashford Bruno
    Haaland Wilson

    Kepa Estu Schar Greenwood

  19. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    No assist means -12 points for Bruno captainers

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It wasn’t an assist though

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I’m not saying it was…….frustrating though!

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          It was unlucky rashford didn’t put it away first time

    2. Kodap
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      How is it so hard to understand why that wasn't an assist?

    3. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yep

      So annoying Rashford fluffed the first

    4. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It wasn’t an assist but yes it really hurts

  20. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like I’ve got an 18pt lead in cash league going into 38

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have a 9 point lead … squeaky bum time

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Going to be a bit of a lottery as well! Not many teams with anything to play for

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Who’s ya captain choice ?

          I have haaland and Kane
          He has haaland and Bruno

          I’m likely going to risk it with Kane unless I get team news haaland starts

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Might try and wait until last minute for team news. Haaland or salah but would get Kane if haaland benched

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nice. You got this.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers PB

  21. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mitoma - MacAllister - Rashford - Eze - Salah

    Haaland - Wilson - Isak

    1FT, who should I replace and add to my midfield or attack? Can't afford Kane or Son.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rodrigo

      1. SpaceCoyote97
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        He might be injured. It's between him, Bowen and McNeil for me.

  22. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chelsea have scored more than 10% of away PL goals at Old Trafford this season

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Before tonight, Chelsea had conceded one more goal than Man Utd in the league this season.

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Did anyone else notice Lewis Hall is on 3 bonus?

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Everyone yes

    2. Norco
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Who?

  24. boc610
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Felix with a parting gift to anyone who doesnt own lindo / de de gea

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That goal kept me in the top 100k after a mare of a GW.

  25. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why did sancho jump in bonus?

    Bruno cap and every point counts, gutting.

    The ruined assist bad enough as well as shaw injury but those Hall baps?!!! WTF

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He deserved them
      He plays for Chelsea and managed to keep it down to only 4 conceded

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The Shaw injury was tempered by the late goal for De Gea owners…..just wish he could have lasted 15 more minutes

  26. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    That goal was a killer. Lindelof de gea double up.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Unlucky ... only DDG here. Still painful, costs me tight ML probably 😛

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Do we know if DDG would have been on for any BAPs if it had stayed 4-0

  27. JOELIO8701
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone who captained Haaland this week really shouldn’t be playing fpl. The rotation and drop following a draining ucl encounter vs the greatest team of all time and with prem league wrapped up. Terrible decision. Bruno was always the obvious decision and should have had 40 points

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Jeez, 91.4% of the game captained Haaland
      Reduces the playerbase a lot if they shouldn’t be playing

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He only didn’t play chelsea cause arsenal lost on Saturday and he could’ve score 2 or 3 vs Brighton

    3. Jon Snow
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Obvious bait but I'll bite.
      Haaland still had a disallowed goal and no one expected Arsenal to poo themselves against Forest. Could have easily be a typical double digit haul

    4. Norco
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Your own words 6 days ago:

      "I'm so annoyed to have captained Bruno. I think Haaland gets hattrick v Chelsea and maybe then gets some minutes in the second game. Bruno's FPL output is't great this season. "

    5. xuwei

    6. Calderano FC

      Lol

    7. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He had a goal disallowed

    8. JOELIO8701

    9. JOELIO8701

      I just typo’d on my message 6 days ago - got the plYers mixed up

    10. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

      Lmao. Relax, dude. It's called a game for a reason.

  28. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How did martial sneak a bonus point ahead of Bruno at the end when he went off at 70mins?

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Winning goal

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He scored the winning goal +3 BPS

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

      Goal conceded gave him +3 in the bonus totals for winning goal

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Oh ok thanks

  29. Wizard of Ozil

    Hall and Sancho have snuck up on the inside. Daylight robbery.

    What would be my best move here with 0.2m in the bank? Got exact funds to bring in Eze for one of the Brighton lads. Currently leading by 9 in one, 15 in another and trailing by 6 in my third ML.
