Gameweek 24 gets underway this evening with Newcastle United v Everton and West Ham United v Watford at 19.45 GMT, followed by Burnley v Manchester United 15 minutes later.

At St James’ Park, Eddie Howe makes one change from Gameweek 23, with new signing Matt Targett replacing the injured Paul Dummett at left-back.

Fellow new recruits, Bruno Guimaraes and Dan Burn, are both named on the bench.

Frank Lampard, meanwhile, makes two changes from Saturday’s 4-1 FA Cup win over Brentford, with Yerry Mina and Andros Townsend coming in for the injured Ben Godfrey and Vitaliy Mykolenko.

That means Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek are substitutes, plus Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with Demarai Gray and Anthony Gordon flanking Richarlison up front.

Elsewhere, Kurt Zouma surprisingly starts for West Ham, whilst further forward, Michail Antonio leads the line after missing Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Kidderminster Harriers, having featured for Jamaica three times during the winter break.

As for Watford, Roy Hodgson recalls Emmanuel Dennis following his one-match suspension, plus Tom Cleverley, with Joao Pedro and Ken Sema dropping out.

At Turf Moor, Josh Brownhill and Jay Rodriguez replace Dale Stephens and Aaron Lennon, both of whom are on the bench.

However, the headline news involves the visitors, with Cristiano Ronaldo – owned by 28.1% of FPL managers – benched.

As a result, Edinson Cavani will lead the United line, with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes paired together in central midfield, in what looks like a 4-3-3 formation, a system Ralf Rangnick used in Friday’s FA Cup loss against Middlesbrough.

    Brighton DGW looking more like where it’s at right now !

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Feeling smug as a Trossard owner.

      J/k - still feel like a tit for that punt.....

      1. SINGH
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Might as well change your name from Biggsy to Titsy

      2. Solanke
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Will Trossard play?

  2. Fish up a tree

    Are Utd don’t sell or buy now even if you own none?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Bruno's assist was VARred and I expect him to bounce back with two home fixtures. Still my C.

      1. Esalman
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Got rid for Salah this morning. So far good decision.

      2. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Yep, nothing bar injury is changing that. He's nearly in the BPS today with no direct goal involvement.

    2. maglia rosa
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Gambling that they don't click up front is a gamble for sure in a dgw with fairly decent home fixtures, different side of that same coin though is the opportunity to avoid that misfiring attack in favour of shiny toys else where for the double.

  3. Bobby
    • 16 Years

    How many of the top 100k have Ronaldo? Wondering how much it could hurt not having him next week

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Don't know but I honestly think it is a plus not having him. Unless he gets pens. This Man United team is not designed for him.
      EO overall 32% this gameweek.

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      He’s owned by 25% of the top 10k so I’d say maybe similar for 100k

  4. dshv
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    I don’t know why i want to keep Ronaldo for dgw…

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      I think if own gota keep

  5. JohnnyCroat

    DGW25 BUS TEAM

    DDG
    Laporte, Cancelo, TAA, Reggie
    Son, Jota, Bowen, Hojbjerg
    Antonio, DCL

    I think it'll be -4 for Antonio and Gilmour (on mah bench) out for Bruno and ... not a notion who. Have 7.1 in the bank

    bench is Foster, Gilmour, Ben Johnson, Dennis

    Johnson and Gilmour to Bruno and Tsimikas seems counterproductive

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      What does bus mean?

      1. maglia rosa
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        In case he gets hit by a bus 🙄

      2. maglia rosa
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Even the Scout picks have taken it up pre final picks i see 😆

  6. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    One more week for Ronaldo and then I don’t think I’ll own him again this season. Can’t see United getting top 4, so he’ll probably end up leaving as well.

    1. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      If he does he’s a sell out.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        What?

        1. Kevin and Perry go
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 22 hours ago

          What what.

  7. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Rangnick is going to ruin DGW fun with a few more 1-1s.

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Let him be he’s doing great!

  8. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Enough is enough.Best pick to replace Antonio?

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Im going kane. If that sorta price.

      Eduardo/watkins

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        cheers.Edouard is the obvious move.

    2. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Ben mee.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Weghorst looked great today second half. Undroppable for Burnley. Plus he has all those rearranged games to play. Just get him in.

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        This would be my suggestion. He looked good.

      2. Fish up a tree
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Yeah tempted over Edouard?

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 21 hours ago

          I got Edouard on WC swayed by the Norwich game this gameweek and the future Double.
          But there is always the shadow of Benteke to take Edouard's place. Weghorst does not have any competition. Even though the fixtures are more difficult on paper.

      3. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        have you seen their fixtures? 6.5 for a Burneley forward is too much also

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 21 hours ago

          I would still get him regardless. Those DGW's mean he should at least get 4 points. Plus as we saw today is capable of creating. Is there a decent cheap striker this season in fpl???

      4. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Really good performance but bad fixtures.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 21 hours ago

          Well he got an assist to today. With the DGW's he at least has a baseline of 4 each game. Look at this that way. Plus it is obvious he is the focal point for Burnley. If Burnley do get anything attacking wise - it is likely Weghorst will be involved.

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 21 hours ago

          Did ok today with an attacking return against one of the best teams in the league/world. So still looks a decent shout bearing the doubles he has to come.

    4. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      I did Antonio to Kane(C) before this GW. I know the feeling.

  9. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Harry Maguire please retire

    1. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      He was shocking for that goal

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      £80M 🙁

        Funny.

  10. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Why haven't Ali's assist points for the Fraser goal been added?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 21 hours ago

      lol

  11. Sarri-ball
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Who to take in gw25 other will come in 26

    Kane Wol
    Salah bur

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Prioritise Salah

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Depends if you are chasing or not.
      If you want to make big potential gains in the upcoming gws = Kane
      If you want to play it safe against EO% = Salah.

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Will have both gor gw26 double

        Its basically just for gw25 (captain)

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 21 hours ago

          Ah I see. Salah in that case. Because Wolves have been good defensively.

  12. JariL
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    This Joelinton's clinical finishing attempt had to be the highlight of today:

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      I’ve never seen anything like that. How is he a professional football player?

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        He had a great game for about the 10th match in a row.

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        More used to Copacabana beach to be fair!?

    2. Royal5

      Lol

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Haha hilarious

    4. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Funny.

    5. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      He cost more that Aguero #fact

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        That's called inflation. Stick in at school kidda

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      He's playing great in midfield, but is still a bit of a jigsaw.

    7. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Amazingly, he actually played really well 😀

      Reinventing himself as a box to box midfielder

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        The Brazilian Alan Smith like what he became at Man United?

        1. Kevin and Perry go
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 22 hours ago

          Haha but did you know Luke shaw an Alan smith are brothers.

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 21 hours ago

            Close enough resemblance alright.

    8. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Lol … brutal … but to be fair he’s playing much better in the midfield role.

    9. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      It's particularly good as a clip.

      Unless you're a Newcastle fan.

      £40 million worth but he's doing better outside of the box.

    10. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      I can't stop watching that now. How do you even manage to do that?

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Salah without Mané on Thursday!
    (He says crossing all fingers and toes.)

  14. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    How frustrating to own Ronaldo. Who would have thought he'd be benched this often...and guess what... obviously will still captain him the next gameweek even ahead of Bruno because it "just makes sense"

    1. EffPeeEll
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Are you a man of letters squire?

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      If you watched the game it doesn't make sense. I have three Man United players from a wildcard. De Gea - Varane - Fernandes.
      Of those three I would be more likely to captain De Gea - making plenty of saves.

      --
      I am more likely to captain KDB though.

  15. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Can't believe the difference in Bruno to last season.. I'm now doubting whether to bring him in for a dgw

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Well, he’s not playing false 9 now so not really a surprise

    2. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      He was playing mid today, but deeper. Don't like seeing an attacking player running back to gather the ball in his own half.

    3. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      I’m having those same doubts. Tempted to just bring salah and son in for a -4 and save myself a hit

  16. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Just noticed my FPL name has changed to CHANGE NAME. It used to be SC Ratchmyballs

    I've been using the same team name on FPL since 2007. I've been using the same name on various other PL fantasy sites, World Cups, Euros, UCL, Rubgy fantasy, Golf fantasy since 2005 and I've never had an issue.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Oh well, looks like you’ll have to change it

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Username checks out 😀

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years

      Someone reported your team name by the sounds of it

      1. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Yeah or some automated algorithm flagged it.

        But why? What about SC. Ratchmyballs is against TOS

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Someone has flagged it as inappropriate.

      Unfortunately we live in a pathetic society these days

    4. Twisted Saltergater

      1. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        I know someone whose name was altered to Change Name a couple seasons ago. He changed it to the Spanish translation of his previous team name and his account then got banned.

        1. SINGH
          • 7 Years

          Change it to Mike Hok, P Ness, Sum Yung Ho, Maths Debator etc lol

      Change it to R C Longbottom

    7. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      Maybe a kid saw it and asked their parents what it meant? I wouldnt change it back to the same name, probably get banned 4 that.

    8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

    Ronaldo's returns when in my team:
    2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 12, 2, 2, 2, 1. 2.6ppg. 12.5m asset. Barely believable.

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Don't remind me, I've been trying to forget about this absolute terrible decision of holding him for so long has been

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Team is not set up right around him - simple as that. He has to do heroics on his own to get anything.

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Yep I would tend to agree. I'm not sure the issue is Ronaldo himself. As you said the team just dont get the best out of him or set up enough chances. Having said that, he did have 2 presentable chances from headers and wasted both of them.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 22 hours ago

          They are never tap in type easy chances for Ronaldo though. Ronaldo has to work them into chances. When Ronaldo signed I assumed he would be getting his head on Shaw crosses. And having a field day with tap ins. Instead Man United seem to be just hoping Ronaldo does it on his own.

          Sancho was useless when he came on v Burnley from the bits I saw. Could not cross a ball and ran into traffic.

          Of the three new signings Varane has been the most consistent IMO.

  18. Old Bull

    Had Bowen as Captain until yesterday. Changed to KDB. Felt uneasy about it then and more so now.

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years

      KDB hasn't even played yet...

      Kdb could easily outscore him.

        Could easily not I would say

          Depends if your optimistic or a miserable git 😀

            Owning Bowen [C] and not KDB 😛

      I am in exactly the same position. It is Brentford though. Failing that KDB could always get covid and we will look like geniuses for the VC choice. Be (covid) positive.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        Only problem with that plan is I kept Cancelo as VC. Keeping all things crossed now, but when these FPL choices look so obvious, they regularly flatter to deceive.

    6. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Right now even with Bowen’s return I’d still pick KDB. He might have even tripled captained himself for this game week!

    Alonso, Reguilon & Foden to Webster, Dunk & Salah for -4?

      Purr-haps he should watch a video analysis of tonight’s match before the weekend

    5. Old Bull

      Disagree. Fur ball looks natural at his feet.

  21. Haa-lala-land

    Everton are in real danger of being relegated. Lampard is not a good manager, which doesn't help.

      Who cares man, they been long enough in the premier League.

    How did Dennis & King look tonight?

    Either one look remotely threatening?

    Cheers to everyone who advised me to cap Bowen over the other options.

    1. Nanoelektronicar

      They deflected you towards good decison.

        It was a bit jammy I give you that.

      Have Son captain ..

    2. Nanoelektronicar

      I only wish Steve. Even one would do in these miserable times.

    So Maguire not only cost my double United clean sheet - he cost me a Varane goal. The slow fat git. That is all he has become.

    11 points dropped from winning positions for Man United.

    1. maglia rosa
      • 15 Years

      Poses an interesting question mark over Utd assets for next week, planned to bring in Bruno for the armband which is more unclear post game.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        If I was you I would honestly go for Son instead and have him in place for gw26. Captain someone else for gw25.

        That Man United team are the definition of flaky - can go from looking great - run out of steam - then look disjointed and clueless. Has happened too often to be a coincidence. And Maguire should be dropped. The fella is a liability at this stage. I doubt Rangnick will drop him though.

        1. maglia rosa
          • 15 Years

          Just picked Son on wk 24 wc 😎

            • 16 Years
            4 years, 21 hours ago

            I wish I did! I was WC as well. Nearly changed Fernandes to Son. But the DGW made me stick with Bruno. You look like a genius now. Would be amazed if Son got nothing v the saints.

            1. maglia rosa
              • 15 Years
              4 years, 21 hours ago

              Did end up selling Bowen to fit in Salah and Kdb though so it's never ideal is it. 😆 Not that i'm a half glass full sorta guy but unsure of the sensibilitymof going into a dgw without a Utd attacker. I guess we'll see soon enough.

        2. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 21 hours ago

          Captain choice is tricky with no United players next week. Team looks strong, just no clear standout with the City rotation risk and no Salah

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      I think Brighton keep them out next week.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 22 hours ago

        It looks likely at this rate. My main question is will Man United manage a clean sheet at all in the DGW? If you were told to put money on it you would be hesitant at this stage.
        Not getting a clean sheet v Burnley is shameful. I know the conditions were awful. But it was the same for both teams.

    3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

      I foolishly brought Maguire in. As I thought he was the most nailed and due a good performance.

      I feel embarrassed. But still think he’s getting 30 points next week.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years

        😀 yellow card is the most likely thing Maguire will get!

    Captain Bowen worked out alright.

      Looking forward to a Cancelo 18 pointer tomorrow

  27. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 22 hours ago

    Well today couldn't have gone better.
    Only owned Bowen - and he did great.
    WH got the win, MU dropped points, and no big rival player did anything to worry me.

    IT FEELS STRANGE WHEN THINGS GO WELL IN FPL!

    1. Weak Become Heros

    2. Haalander

      Just wildcarded into this week and same too. Feel smug for the first game week this season. That’ll probably be wiped too by the end of the week!!

    3. Boberella
      • 9 Years

      I'm disappointed I didn't play Dawson over Dennis!

    How did Antonio look tonight chaps?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 22 hours ago

      Still peripheral - WH just haven't looked great going forward for a while, think teams figured out how to set up against them.

    2. Utopsis

    Really hope Bowen (c) pays off and im not destroyed with city/liverpool captainers now.
