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.

    Choosing Mount over Bruno + no cs is a FPL killer

    2. HTL
      • 5 Years

  4. shirtless

    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I'll take a hit free, chip free 69 points. Bruno in ahead of Maddison or Moura. Finally made the right move lol

  5. King Carlos
    • 8 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

  6. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Why did bruno do that stupid chip at the end, could of been a legendary haul, ruined his bps aswel

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

      Game was over was showing off. Doesnt do that at 0-1 or at say 85 mins

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

      46 pts is pretty legendary. That goes in though he’s on 60

  7. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Congrats fellow Bruno cappers. Got 94 in the end on free hit.

    Would have got 30-40 with normal team. Made up 50 pints on leader. Not bad.

    1. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      50 pints? Thats drunk!

  8. gooberman

    Late Toney goal wiping out De Gea clean sheet and bonus pts rounding off a gameweek from hell.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ridiculous tap in from 2 yards gets more than game changer Bruno.

  9. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    De Gea captaincy not a complete disaster.

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

      Better than the popular favourite

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Consolation goal cost you 12 points

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah sickening but fully expected Brentford to score near the end there.

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

    So going for Ronaldo instead of Bruno cost 42 points. Pretty harsh.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed. Especially given Bruno’s form this season even if some small signs were there he was picking up

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Because of Rangnick’s choice of words. Season defining stuff

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I am absolutely devastated

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

        Yeah pretty annoying still.
        Easy to say in hindsight, but with cr out my move was always going to be bruno in and c. Ah well, better luck next time!

  11. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    For a brief moment I had a 2 figure rank there. God knows what if he’d scored there!

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

      Gowan Rafa lad! In it to win it!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Haha, I thought I was about to at 3-0! Until the clean sheet went, the baps went and the Bruno miss 🙂 … can’t complain though

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

      Wow what a season!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers Pat. I could almost taste the very top 🙂

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

          Username really does not check out

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

          With the chips in hand then you can win it!

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Haha! Never know 🙂

      Use them chips wisely and who knows...good luck!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years

        Thank you matey 🙂

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

    Came to sulk and moan. Sulk sulk sulk. Moan moan moan.

    44pts. Doh!

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch. Unlucky mate

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

      45 is the average, means there’s a stack of people worse off. Apparently the secret was to pick the least in form, most expensive player and then go even further and put the armband on him. That’s random

      1. HTL
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Salah was out to AFCON, Son was injured, Ronaldo rumoured out, and DGW fixtures dropping like flies. I don’t think it was that outlandish.

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

          I picked him so I can’t disagree. Just a bit salty that I thought Ronaldo was going to play and score big

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

        Bit harsh on Ronaldo

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

        Lol salty much

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      well this is the place for it.

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      39 here. Highest scoring player on my bench. OR wise I don't think it's too bad a week. Probably won't look at MLs for a while tho. Also I move further away from the hackathon that is the top 10k, so every cloud.

  13. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    For Bruno and DDG owners, that Toney consolation goal cost 8 points. That's 2 hits.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Plus Bruno Captain here

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Gutted I didn't captain him. I dithered

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

      That was the cherry on top of the icing on top of the cake for a truly awful gw.

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

      We really can’t moan. It’s a still a great haul.

    4. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      And the Bruno sitter would have fixed that.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah true. I just hate the way consolation goals affect FPL like this.

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Tbf could have been 2-0 down after first half so not sure there is much to complain about. I get it when you have a defender and the opponent had one shot on target and it goes in, when you had like 14 shots conceded on target in 2 games Vs Villa and Brentford i say 8 points is pretty good.

    5. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely gutting

    6. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I had them, plus Dalot. Baps at that point meant it was about a 14 point swing, same as against villa.

  14. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is Ronaldo to Bruno for a hit too much kneejerk?

    1. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      You can't transfer out the goat

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't want either of them going forward.

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

      Bruno is not the same player with Ronaldo in the team. So no

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

      I’m getting rid of both soon

    5. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah I own him but wouldn’t be getting him, may even sell to KDB

  15. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Cr7, what a player!

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

      He is 36 you know, incredible. He has another 4 years in him at Man U

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

      Believe it or not, worthy a place on FIFA’s all star team ahead of Salah

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

        and Benzema and Mbappe

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      0.19 expected goal involvement this GW, just behind the 0.20 from Brandon Williams and Anthony Gordon - what a player!

  16. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Worst week of fpl ever……a last second 50/50 decision has cost me 53 points in one gameweek!!!!

  17. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Wish I just transferred in Bruno,
    & harrison,
    & maddison,
    & bergwijn,
    and...

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

      Idah
      Kane

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

    Kane with 10 shots. Leicester really poor at the back again or spurs good? Salah returns to play Leicester at home

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

      Kane does like Leicester, that is an additional factor

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

      Both.

    3. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lei has grannies as defenders

    4. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think you just have to look at leicester defensive line up to know the answer to that.

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

      Leicester were abysmal defensively, 4 shots off target and I think 2 blocked though for Kane, his shooting was very poor honestly, had a lot of time for a lot of those

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

      Leicester are a shambles at back without Evans and Fofana

    7. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Leicester woeful defensively but Kane could have easily scored 20+ points

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    As soon as Trossard entered my team and Cancelo moved to the bench it was game over really.

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty optimistic for trossard seeing this leicester defence for next week

  20. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bruno licking his lips Hammers next they let Harrison get 3

  21. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Took my second FH 82 but would have been 57 (-4) so 29 points advantage

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

      Good result that

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

    Fpl disaster aside, great to watch spurs tonight.

    Only winning games they should be winning, and fully expect us to lose on sunday, but such a transformation from the nuno days.

    Attacking, working hard, team spirit at the end not seen since poch days.

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

      We can beat Chelsea, smash and grab 0-2. Alli with a late run into the box like the old days

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Is Bergwijn off to Ajax?

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

        Only if we get a replacement I'd have thought..hes the closest thing we have to a sub striker.

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

      Big game at the weekend now. Top 4 looking likely

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

        Utd still should have enough to finish above us. We have no.strength in depth.

  23. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Seriously what to do with Ronaldo? Sell to Watkins? West Ham defence is absolutely awful

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Keep until salah is back

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes if DGW23

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I m holding one more week then swicth for salah

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Oh saw there was a bust up. Might sell them 🙂

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

      I’m saving a transfer and then getting rid of both Bruno and ronaldo for salah and one of son/Kane

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lacazette the forward with the most upside next GW I guess on paper

  24. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    People selling Ron after that big bust up?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yesssszzz

  25. GoonerGirl
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Everytime I've owned Ronaldo he's done nothing. I really thought he'd be available for both games after what Rangnick said. Oh well, have to move on. I'm going to get KDB in this week to make myself feel better.

  26. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If I make 2 transfers (-4), and then hit the WC, does it cancel out the -4?

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

      Yes

  27. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anything to be said for leaving the armband on Bruno this weekend?

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

    Ok I think this needs to be discussed.

    I know there is a lot of debate about luck and skill in fpl. Bruno hasn't done anything for weeks. Ronaldo was the obvious captain choice for me. Plus Bruno was probably only transfered in due to sons injury and Salah going to AFCON.

    Is this luck?

    *Not taking anything away from Bruno owners though. Well played.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He was a punt. Not like he's not capable of PL brilliance, just that his form was poor and worth a DGW punt.

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

      It’s luck in the sense son is injured and Salah away.

      I wanted to keep money in midfield so it was him or KDB, who only had a single gw. Plus I didn’t have Kane or Ronaldo so he was the best player in my team with a DGW. Luck to get a big haul but the logic was sounds

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I feel if it wasn't for the son and Salah situation he wouldn't have been as strongly considered.

        Coupled with the fact he's done nothing for so long his form suggests he's wasn't an obvious choice.

      Of course. No one in their right mind would have brought in Bruno. Imagine if he had Ronaldos score this week and vice versa, Bruno captainers would have been moaning. They got lucky

    The last min miss cost me the triple figure score. Bruno would have had 34bps
