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.

    Bruno gone 0 to 3 bps.
    People thought FPL was ruined this season. It's actually brilliant.
    One more Bruno goal

      Love it

    Could have afforded Kane and Bruno but I thought, nah let’s just keep Son and buy an injured Ronaldo.

    1. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years

      Blame it on Kane 😎

    Ok so who else took a -4 to bring in Ronaldo instead of bringing in Bruno?

    Feel sick watching this.

      Me.

      Stopped watching now. Had enough punishment for one night thank you very much.

        It's brutal.

      Yeah, same here. It was so obviously the wrong decision to take the hit. Even without Bruno scoring any points, it was a better placeholder move for Salah. This feels worse than any Covid cancellation etc as it was just so obviously the wrong move. Fair play the Bruno cappers.

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

        Exactly. It's probably going to cost me another four points to bring Salah back.

        This hands down my worst moment of the season.

        And now there goes the clean sheet!

      Yep....lol

        It's the absolute worst feeling being on the wrong end of this.

    Ton up, thanks Bruno 🙂

  11. fricky_

    Season in the bin for me then

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

      Same.

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

    capping Bruno this week msut be so good. I just dont know how people did it, you capped a player who hadnt scored or assisted in what 7 weeks? Its crazy really, I have Bruno, but he didnt even enter my mind for captain

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

      In two games they barely create chances too, crazy punt

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Same here. I did have him vice and ronaldo captain but was never really considering him. Guess if I didn’t have ronaldo I might’ve taken a punt

    3. Rohirrims
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lack of CR7 and Kane swung it for me.

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

      I wont criticise and say people are lucky, but I dont have many other words for it other then differential. I suppose it was a week for difefrentials as covid was always looming over many other captain candidates. And the Ronaldo flag also contributed to it

  13. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ddg capt and dalot as well.

    Huge 10mins to go. Blow it up ref!

  14. fedolefan
    • 9 Years

    All the big dicks coming out swinging.

  15. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Rival is on 108 points currently! I’m on 63 ouch

  16. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    108 -4 as it stands here.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      What a week!

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    - Ronaldo(c)
    - No Bruno
    - Ramsey and Gallagher on my bench

    😎

    1. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years

      Ouch!

  18. One More Hit
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    111 (-4) with 10 players. Flipped captaincy back and forth before the deadline and left it on Kane.

    Crazy gameweek after last week’s Bowen-less disappointment

    Puk ju BRUNOOOO

  20. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Bruno vc Ronaldo c

    Messed it up. still looks like I am getting a green arrow after a 16 point hit. Small happiness.

  21. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I could have gone Bruno
    I could have gone KDB
    but in the end I picked fffffffffffffffffff Sterling

    1. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Wow, that’s a doozy

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

    No Fernandes. Ronaldo (C). Still on a green arrow... Playing lottery tomorrow.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That’s a result. I’m on a red arrow from 200k lol

  23. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno(C) v Ronaldo(C) was a 48 pt swing. Mental

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

      24 points if you have Bruno isn’t it?

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

        Bruno on 27...
        That's huge.
        Non-owner with San(C)hez still getting a green arrow..

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

          It’s pretty brutal. Was lucky enough to select Bruno but was confident that Ronaldo was the better captain. Should be happy with that but feel like it’s a massive miss

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Brutal swing that

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

      Absolutely brutal. Almost season defining.

  24. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Top man Bruno

  25. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Looking at the comments on here, average seems to be >100 points - wow, huge DGW!

    Bruno single handedly destroyed my FPL season in one gameweek. I was 30 k. Don't even want to check my rank now

    I couldn’t do Son to Bruno for free so held off on the hit and saved my ft. At least I’ve 2ft
