Double Gameweek 22 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at 14:00 GMT on Sunday, as Nottingham Forest host Leeds United at The City Ground.

This is, of course, the first of Leeds’ two matches, with a trip to Old Trafford to follow on Wednesday.

Steve Cooper makes four changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Bournemouth last time out, with Keylor Navas coming in for his debut.

Neco Williams, Scott McKenna and Danilo also start, as Wayne Hennessey, Serge Aurier, Joe Worrall and Ryan Yates drop out.

That means Morgan Gibbs-White surprisingly recovers from injury to feature in attack alongside Brennan Johnson and Chris Wood.

As for the visitors, Jesse Marsch makes three alterations from Gameweek 21, but new loan signing Weston McKennie has to settle for a place on the bench.

Robin Koch is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards so Liam Cooper comes in at the back, while further forward, Luis Sinisterra and Patrick Bamford replace Brenden Aaronson and the injured Rodrigo, who is out for two months because of an ankle injury.

Wilfried Gnonto, meanwhile, is handed another start, with his ownership in the top 100k rising to 4.62%.

GAMEWEEK 22 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Navas, Williams, Boly, McKenna, Lodi, Danilo, Freuler, Mangala, Gibbs-White, Johnson, Wood

Subs: Hennessey, Worrall, Colback, Lingard, Surridge, Aurier, Scarpa, Ayew, Felipe

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Wober, Struijk, Adams, Roca, Sinisterra, Gnonto, Harrison, Bamford

Subs: Robles, Firpo, Aaronson, Summerville, Rutter, Kristensen, McKennie, Greenwood, Joseph

    KDB/Haaland + Martinelli/Nketiah owner. Can afford any DEF + MID combo for the DGW:
    A) Odegaard + City def
    B) Saka + City def
    C) Mahrez + Ars def

    Good Sunday y'all

    I need to downgrade Toney to allow getting Saka in. Which do you prefer?

    A) Ferguson
    Pros: Good player, good team, many upcoming doubles
    Cons: Doesn't add to either 25 or 28 team. Somewhat unsure place in their 11.

    B) Greenwood
    Pros: Saves me quite a lot of money, good fodder to have, allows Shaw to James for GW24
    Cons: May only get 0-1 points in GW25

    C) Gnonto
    Pros: Game in 25, maybe in 28, seems a bit underpriced
    Cons: Will need a hit (Shaw-Tarkowski)

    D) Brennan Jonson
    Pros: Completely nailed, game both 25 and 28, hitting form.
    Cons: More expensive as 8th attacker, will need a hit. Few doubles

    Take a -4 for Salah > KDB?

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely

  4. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Horrible bench headache this week…

    A) Shaw
    B) Mitoma

    I think it has to be Mitoma despite him being on fire atm

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why? I’d bench shaw

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely Shaw for me

    3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’d go Shaw definitely

    4. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Thats not a headache, 100% bench Shaw

  5. SomeoneKnows
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kepa
    Trippier, Saliba, Shaw
    KDB, Rashford, Bruno, Martinelli
    Haaland, Kane, Gnonto

    (Ward, Andreas, Castagne, Bueno)
    1FT + 0.5 itb

    A) Bruno + Andreas > Mahrez + Odegaard (-4)
    B) Bruno + Gnonto > Mahrez + Nkeita (-4)
    C) Bruno > Saka
    D) Other ideas?

  6. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Gnonto looks dangerous

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      This

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Should have scored that

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Premier League has gone well beyond the other leagues in recent years but Keylor Navas at Forest will never not baffle me.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Julio Cesar once played for QPR, 2 years after winning the CL with Inter

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Following in the footsteps of Julio Cesar at QPR and Valdes at Boro

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Please don't remind me of those dark days. I'm still traumatized by it all these years later!

  8. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Almiron to saka/odegaard for free
    -4 either Bruno or Kulu to mahrez?

  9. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Navas says "No alcohol for me" to Hennessey

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just awful mate

  10. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Too risky to go with only nketiah and white as arsenal cover? Cheers.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      All I have, will get ode/saka in to

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Who to lose though? Kdb Bruno rashford ??

        1. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Prob Bruno who blanks gw25 maybe 28 to?
          He has Leeds an Leic before blank
          Rash is a hold ,kdb dgw

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Yes Bruno the obvious option. Cheers.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’d get one more if you can but not the end of the world if you don’t.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

  11. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Looks like Martinelli + Toney to Mahrez + Nketiah (-4) is on cards. Leaves me 0.1 itb, so cannot sell Mitro instead of Toney. Having 3x MCI+ 3x Ars + Bueno not optimal though.

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I like the Mahrez shout.

  12. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Navas still one of the best shotstoppers in the world

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He doesn’t seem to have had that many appearances for his age and position. Only about 300...

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Few nice trophies in his cabinet

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Aye, for sure

  13. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Navas on fire for Forest

    1. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      On goodness I hope they put him out

  14. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leeds are pish poor.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Frustrating pattern of dominating, creating chances, but just leaking cheap goals

  15. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wtf was that

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Meslier? 😕

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        And Wood. Championship moment

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wood was stiff there

    3. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Pardon me, too many root vegetables.

    4. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Johnson screaming for it & Wood like his name froze

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

    Start White or Shaw?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      White dgw

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The one with two games

  17. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lol what the actual f..k was that

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bamford tekkers

  18. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Hook Bamford at HT I’m afraid

  19. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bamford doing his best Nunez impression this half.

  20. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  21. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

            • 16 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Got the double with his Everton prediction.

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Three exclamation marks... must be legit.

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I personally need 5 to have it approved and sealed.

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          And a 'Lolzzz' thrown in for good measure.

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

      Kane brace will be sweet

  22. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Gnonto should already have a haul 🙁 typical, good pick but won't get any points

  23. Stamford B
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    100% I reckon Kane scores today.

  24. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    You know you're having a slow day when you been sitting here and watching Forest vs Leeds.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's been a good match tho

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, been very open. Probably the reason kept on watching:D

  25. el polako
    • 8 Years

    Time to sell my LFC triple up?

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

      Potential DGW soon, hold tight.

    2. mdm
      • 13 Years

      Months ago

    3. JBG
      • 7 Years

      Keep, they'll click

    4. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Which three jokers you got?

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Robbo, TAA and Suarez.

        I'm patient, what can I say.

    5. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nah, they have decent fixtures coming up.

      (assuming that's what you wanted to hear)

    6. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Surely time to sell? Even DGW is 2x2? I’ve missed players in form hanging onto traditional favourites like Salah. Think this year is recognising that the big teams have changed.

  26. Old Gregg
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kepa
    Schar-Trips-White
    Rash-Mahrez-Odegard-Martinelli-Bruno
    Halaand-Nunez-

    Mitro-shaw-Partterson

    1FT
    Any advice appreciated

    a) Bruno > KDB
    B) Bruno + Darwin > Kane + Grealish/mitoma(-4)
    C) Bruno + Martinelli + Darwin > Mitoma + Saka + Kane (-8)
    D) suggestions?

  27. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Just watched Wolves - Pool highlights, my god Pool are sh*t. And I don't mind.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Had second highest xG this week

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        And still... sh*t. Nunez is the kryptonite to xG.

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Robertson and TAA been near top of stats but awful picks

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      They were awful. Time to recognise they’re mid table with average FPL assets

  28. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kane v Haaland later today.. Hat-tricks for both confirmed

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That would be sweet

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      An Kulu with the assists please!

  29. mdm
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Almiron, Toney to Mahrez, Nketiah worth a hit?

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Could be, Almiron no form an blank coming up, Toney to will have blank

  30. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Aurier & Colback coming on

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Danilo & Mangala off

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks! Just came on here to asknif Aurier will be coming on.
      Main ML rival has Aurier starting and Johnson 1st on bench. Also has Raya, Dunk, Watkins, Rash, Bruno...
