Brentford v Man Utd and Leicester v Spurs team news: Ronaldo and Reguilon return

The final two matches of Double Gameweek 22 take place tonight, with Leicester City v Tottenham Hotspur getting underway at 19:30 GMT and Brentford v Manchester United kicking off half an hour later.

The big team news comes from west London, where Cristiano Ronaldo returns to the Manchester United XI after sitting out his side’s two recent meetings against Aston Villa in league and cup.

Scott McTominay is also back after a one-match ban, with Nemanja Matic dropping to the bench and Edinson Cavani missing out because of injury.

It’s an otherwise unchanged line-up, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial returning to the bench.

Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka miss out with a hamstring strain and illness respectively, while Jadon Sancho is unavailable due to a family bereavement.

Brentford give a debut to recent signing and £4.5m FPL goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, with Mads Bech Sorensen, Mathias Jensen and Sergi Canos also recalled.

Alvaro Fernandez, Rico Henry, Kris Ajer and Shandon Baptiste are all benched.

In the other match tonight, Leicester welcome back a host of faces from injury and illness.

Kasper Schmeichel, Caglar Soyuncu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Luke Thomas and Patson Daka all return to the starting XI, while defender James Justin is among the substitutes as he makes a matchday squad for the first time in 11 months.

Sergio Reguilon returns from injury for Spurs, with the wing-back, Hugo Lloris and Oliver Skipp the three changes from the EFL Cup semi-final against Chelsea a week ago.

Pierluigi Gollini, Matt Doherty and Giovani Lo Celso make way, while Son Heung-min again misses out because of injury.

    Is Daka now ahead of Nacho for starts?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nacho was barely starting anyway. It's more Vardy's spot.

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

      Vardy up top, with two wingers

      Rodgers refuses to drop Vardy or switch to two strikers

      But as things stand: Nacho is at AFCON (probably until GW24), and Vardy is injured until March. So, Daka starts via elimination for now

      Vardy is out for 2 months supposedly. Daka is good for a while.

    Well, need a Maddison return now after having Lloris in net

  6. TheTinman

    Reguillon sets up a huge chance one end then concedes a minute or so after.

    The swings of FPL

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      At least one of the chances he created was finished.

  7. Traction Engine Foot

    Honestly feel if the Arsenal player scouting team had any sense of fun they'd push hard to get Daka as the Auba replacement. They would then have Saka, Xhaka, Laca and Daka.

    1. Kodap
      • 6 Years

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Time to change the channel and watch the GOAT bag a hat trick

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Egypt aren't that free scoring.

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

        Dear me, that's poor

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Would you accept, psg aren't playing today

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That break there just sums up Moura. What a sloppy pass 😆 trash player

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Sadly, I fell for it. More shame on me.

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

          Same

        2. TheTinman
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Decision making is next to nil for him unfortunately. Nice guy too based on the spurs documentary.

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

      Both teams are still losing the ball very often

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Very hot potato

        • Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I can't count how many times Lookman alone has done this in 30 minutes

      2. Esalman

        2 years, 3 months ago

        23 players in my FH team. Everyone has blanked. 6 players left ronaldo greenwood ddg kane(c) moura regi. Hoping for at least 14 points from this lot.

          The real question is how many points would your non free hit team be on?

            • 14 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Around 45 points I think. After FH it is 26 right now.
