The final match of Double Gameweek 25 sees Manchester United play host to Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

Kick-off is at 20:15 GMT.

A lot of captaincy hopes will be pinned on Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo tonight, with the Portuguese pair both installed in Ralf Rangnick’s starting XI.

Elsewhere, there are three changes for the Red Devils from the side that drew 1-1 against Southampton on Saturday, with Victor Lindelof, Fred and Anthony Elanga coming in for Raphael Varane, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford.

Varane was initially named in the line-up, but has since had to pull out due to illness.

That means Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw continue in defence, ahead of goalkeeper David de Gea, who’s ownership currently sits at 15.2%.

Graham Potter, meanwhile makes three changes for Brighton, with Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister and Leandro Trossard replacing Adam Lallana, Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck.

  5. JONALDINHO

    Is the United game on TV in UK/Ireland?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      No, UCL night for TV rights.

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

      Fortunately not

  6. Top Dog

    3 years, 11 months ago

    I’ve seen some crazy hit suggestions going around. No way should anyone be taking a -12 (unless no FH’s left).

    If you can get 3 x Liverpool & 2 x Arsenal, plus 1 or 2DGW players your fine - a lot of the SGW players have good fixtures anyway.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      People are taking hits to get Arsenal and maybe Burnley players as they double now & both play in 27 & 30. Perhaps another Arsenal DGW before then.

      Seen as a few hits now to gain extra games while not using both Free Hits by GW30.

      1. Top Dog
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Burnley are bottom of the League and this DGW isn’t the best for them. No need to go crazy especially if you have Bowen, Cancelo, Foden, Broja, etc. Can always bring a Burnley player in next week.

        For me if I ‘need’ to make 4/5 transfers that is a FH or WC, especially with extra FH

  7. AlphaTeam
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone considering Mane for DGW?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Opted for Robbo instead.

    2. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure hes nailed

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I was but Diaz started so well that I was worried he might not start both

  8. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    What a goal SILVA

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Bernardo beautiful half volley! 0-2

  10. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    19' and City already in quarterfinals.

    1. Top Dog
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Can’t believe this team got through the group ahead of Dortmund. Thought Porto were average, and this team are 10 PST behind them in the league

  11. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    What minute will this DDG CS be busted then?

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      0 0 at full time.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      67th.

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      38 or 48

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    A beautiful, belter of a strike by Silva there.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Patient owners finally rewarded

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yep.

        Those who value artistic attributes!

  13. Kingy109
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Best transfer for players X and Y for Wk26 and beyond (FH27 is planned, no FH GW30):

    Ramsdale, Sanchez
    TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Cash, X
    Salah, Jota, Raph, Bowen, Saka
    Antonio, Watkins, Y

    1) Lacazette and Ait Nouri (exact money)
    2) Jimenez and Tierney
    3) Jimenez and Killman (or other Wolves defender)

    Rather than a Triple Captain I am strongly tempted to Bench Boost this lot as bench will likely be Sanchez, Antonio, Cash, Laporte.

  14. Ray85
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Any advice on this please?
    ‐--‐--------Ramsdale-‐-----
    Reg---Trent----Cancelo--Coady
    Salah---Jota---Bowen---Bruno
    ------'Dennis----Watkins-----

    DDG, Martinelli, Maupay, Johnson

    Options:
    A)Reg and Bruno for Tierney/Son -4
    B)Johnson and Bruno for Tomiyasu/Son -4
    C)Reg/Bruno/Martinelli for Saka/Son/Tierney

    Any other suggestions??? Thanks!

    Bloody hell the United game isn’t even on TV in the UK.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Champions league on tv

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      It's like this all time when you have no subscriptions .. try 5Live Sports Extra. Certainly better than nothing.

  16. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    How many hits to people anticipate taking this GW?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I'm considering a hit for a 3rd Arsenal player, but that's about it.

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I reckon mostly -4 … with some good singles anything else seems a bit excessive.

  17. Dragon Arcana
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Riyad Mahrez is so good at football

  18. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    No pass to Bruno ... ffs

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Who, what & where?

      We need detailed posts tonight 😀

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        lol

        Ronaldo doesn't want to square it to Bruno at the edge of the box, Elanga was open and asking for ball too. Ronaldo lays it off with heel to Sancho who shoots from angle instead of squaring it. The he gets the rebound and shoots again. Bruno pissed, raising his arms.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          TY! 😀

      2. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        It was a great little pass from Ronnie though.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      That's a tap in for Bruno

  19. Royal5

    Dear God Jadon Selfish

    1. Triple P
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Ronaldo already badly frustrated after just 6 minutes, not getting the ball back from Sancho...

  20. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Almost McAllister assist!

  21. TopBinFC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba, Rashford and Varane all benched. Those that punted, that went well

    "Bruno hardly had a touch so far" according to the wireless.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Brighton had 70% possesion.

  23. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    What part of a football ground is never the same?

    I saw Manchester two up and thought perhaps Bruno was in the points.

    Wrong Manchester :mrgreen:

  25. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Ian Darke is unbearable as a commentator. Unfortunately, I am in a pub so can't mute him.

  28. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Bruno through ball to Sancho, Sancho tries to find Elenga, but they messed it up with Cucurella cutting the pass.

  29. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Let's go Bruno, do something!
