Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues with Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur.

Kick-off is at 12.30pm GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Michael Carrick opts for an unchanged line-up as United seek a fourth league win on the bounce under his stewarship.

It means that Benjamin Sesko again has to settle for a place on the bench, despite grabbing the winner against Fulham last weekend.

Thomas Frank makes three changes to his Spurs side.

Micky van de Ven is back from injury, so Radu Dragusin drops to the bench. The Dutchman and Cristian Romero, who had been suffering from illness, were both passed fit by Thomas Frank yesterday.

Wilson Odobert and Pape Matar Sarr are also recalled after impressing off the bench against Manchester City. Yves Bissouma and Randal Kolo Muani make way.

Despite Frank saying that Djed Spence had a “good chance” of featuring, he misses out.

LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Amad, Bruno Fernandes, Cunha, Mbeumo.

Subs: Bayindir, Mazraoui, Zirkzee, Malacia, Yoro, Ugarte, Heaven, Sesko, T Fletcher.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, João Palhinha, Romero, Van de Ven, Gray, Gallagher, Sarr, Udogie, Odobert, Simons, Solanke.

Subs: Kinsky, Dragusin, Bissouma, Tel, Kolo Muani, Souza, Olusesi, Byfield, Williams-Barnett.

    My FPL team has an icon that says my man city and crystal palace players don't have a fixture in 31.

    The scout members fixture ticker says man city and palace have a fixture in 31.

    Who is right?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years

      The guys who run the game.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 23 days ago

        So you're saying that Scout just haven't got round to updating things?

    2. Punned It
      • 1 Year
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Neither of them, we simply cannot know. Matters completely out of your control could force either. It's Schrödinger's gameweek.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 23 days ago

        Official FPL seem quite certain. The status update clearly says, "This player currently has no Premier League fixture in Gameweek 31."

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 23 days ago

        Surely the official game wouldnt put it in unless its confirmed.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          3 months, 23 days ago

          Confusion reigns! 🙁

        2. Punned It
          • 1 Year
          3 months, 23 days ago

          What if a deranged group of terrorists from Manchester demand it is held after all, holding several hostages?

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            3 months, 23 days ago

            Would be season ending for me

            1. Punned It
              • 1 Year
              3 months, 23 days ago

              Everything is season ending for you, therefore nothing is season ending for you. QED.

              1. Brosstan
                • 11 Years
                3 months, 23 days ago

                If your season ends but no one is there to hear you complain about it, is it really over?

      3. Cold Palms

        The overall number of minds is just one. In truth, there is only one mind."

        1. Punned It
          • 1 Year
          3 months, 23 days ago

          Unless also your own mind is a liar, so you are forever caught guessing between one and zero. Or perhaps inner dialogue implies a twoness? And yet..

      MCI v CRY will have to be rearranged from its original date, but could possibly still be in GW31 if neither team is still in the FA Cup or if neither is still in Europe.

    Hats off to Neale. This looks like 22 out of 22. I'm sure premier league teams have experienced people on the payroll to predict opposition line ups, but I doubt they will be as good as The Maestro.

    A blank and another early Mbeumo sub would be lovely today.

    Spurs's away form is better than people think; hopefully Carrick doesn't like what he sees and rings the changes early on in the second half.

    1. Dubem_FC
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      I completely agree.

  4. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Big slabhead headed goal incoming. I can feel it.

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Yes but who for ?

  5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Huge game for me with Mbeumo captain. Can go really bad.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 months, 23 days ago

      Sesko is itching to get on after winning the Fulham game for United last weekend.

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Or really good! If you manifest a hatty it will happen

  6. Halftime

    Brought in Summerville for Palmer. A move that would have sounded crazy a few months ago but he's in great form.
    He was an option when he was at Leeds too.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Seen Chelsea fixtures 😉

      1. Halftime
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 23 days ago

        Already have Chalobah and J Pedro, that's enough Chelsea for me.

    Couldn’t care less about FPL in this game even with captain playing. Really just hoping Utd can finally beat this Spurs team!

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Would be sad if this MU, that is inform, can't beat the worst Spurs side in a long while

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 months, 23 days ago

        The same spurs side that still got a draw with City last weekend

        Utd haven’t beaten them in any competition since 2022

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 23 days ago

          True tbf

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 months, 23 days ago

            Utd looking good so far to begin but have done at numerous times this season without making it count (until recently).

  8. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Hopefully a captain success instead fail this time.

  9. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Wow. Almost a Bruno assists Mbeumo goal in 40 seconds.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      My FPL season is sponsored by „almost”.

  10. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Cunha is central with Mbuemo wide

  11. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Amad looks like he is limping.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Properly or attention seeking „Saka style”?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 months, 23 days ago

        No looks ok again

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      He’s fine

  12. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Has anyone not captained Bruno?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Seen few Gabriel’s and Joao Pedro’s.

    2. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Pedro for me

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      yea, kinda hoping bruno just gets 5 or something

    4. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Havertz

    5. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Palmer differential for me this week against Wolves

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Do something Bruno and Cunha!

  14. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Too close to the middle.

  15. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Spurs have been our bogey team for years. Didn’t beat them in 4 attempts last season - 5 losses and 3 draws since we last beat them.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      October 22 when we last got one over on them

    2. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      They're a bogey team for City too. They love playing the Manchester teams.

  16. g40steve

    LiveFPL have some interesting averts 😳

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Pretty sure it’s based on your browser history. Take some time off cornhub

  17. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    I thought Mbuemo was meant to be playing as the striker? Not once seen him in a central position. Looks like he's playing left wing.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Yeah. Looks like he’s playing left but coming in centrally at times. Cunha middle.

  18. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Wow, thought that was curling in 😯

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Close effort

  19. F4L
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    in those central areas, i do think cunha is stealing bruno's thunder just a little bit

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Cunha close with a banger

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Cunha would’ve got a pen if that had been just inside the box.

  22. tiger

    Lol Romero with yet another red card

  23. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Romero RC

  24. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Romero is a lunatic

  25. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Romero RC

  26. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years

    Fair play Bruno cappers. You knew.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      still hasn't done anything

  27. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Romero is an absolute piece of s##t. Shouldn't be allowed to play football. Brainless maniac.

  28. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    Romero Red

  29. g40steve

    Water is wet

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Misses 4 games

  30. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 23 days ago

    United can run riot now.

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 23 days ago

      Remember when it was 0-0 at Old Trafford and Everton went down to 10 men. Remember how Man Utd ran riot.
