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.


MATCHDAY LIVE WATCHALONG


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.

    Brentford should be 2 up. Jensen has DDG captain

    20 shots for spurs.

    Never had that in total under nuno.

    Dewsbury-Hall has been pretty good, he's led a lot of their counterattacks. Might not be the worst enabler with doubles to come

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

      There's too many midfield options

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

      The problem is Jacob Ramsey

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        True, perhaps for further down the line when the fixtures improve a bit for Leicester and get worse for Villa

      2. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah the problem with Jacob is that I can’t get him from my bench…

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I thought Dewsbury Hall was a Downton Abbey spin off..

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

        Hahahaha nice

  8. Weak Become Heros

    Any more whispers on that Villa DGW being confirmed yet?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nah lol

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      None. More likely no DGW in 23.

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Ta

  9. MrJobby

    I’ll add Emerson royal to the list of players who’s careers I’ve ruined by adding them to my fantasy team

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

    So with Egypt winning their match, will this delay Salah's return by GW24?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No it shouldn’t

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

        Ok, nice.

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

      GW24 earliest.

      They should play Ivory Coast in the Ro16, lose and he'd be available for GW24.

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

        Ah cool

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Only if they make last 4 by the look of it

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t think they were ever in doubt to finish top2 in that group.

  11. jackruet

    Bruno playing as a deep lying midfielder

  12. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    How come Vestergaard looked so good at Southampton...

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Did he?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not sure Southampton fans would agree with you. He had a decent half a season heading some goals in & big passing upfield, but his actual defending was suspect at times.

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He was great at what he does but has huge weaknesses which occasionally get badly exploited. But as a ball playing deep laying centre back he’s great.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Saints had some purple patches in their defence at times, but that was more the defence as unit not really individuals. I remember when Yoshida was an option

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        What a legend he was

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          was he on pens or something at some point?

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      In terms of FPL, yes. With his headed goals. Pure footballing terms, no.

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

    No one seems to be passing the ball to Moura. He looks like a passenger right now 😆

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

      That's why 😆

      The no look pass

  14. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford on, but for who Chris?

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

      Elanga

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Harsh, he actually looked good

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

        Elanga been their brightest spark I thought. Still wouldn't set fire to a pool of petrol mind

      3. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He was their best player in pitch after DDG

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Should be Greenwood, doesn't know how to pass, selfish af and not in a good way.

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

        Went to the school of Trashford

  24. DRIZ ✅

    100 Manutd corners - 0 goals

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      tbh conversion rate from corners is always very bad, corners are every over-rated unless you have someone with exceptional delivery etc

  25. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    People call him penaldo, used to win a lot of them at madrid. Now he can't even dive for f sake. Just dive, score and give me some blooody points.
