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

    Forest didn't have control of that half, so it explains the tactical changes at half time

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

      Aurier the perfect sub to bring on and calm everything down with his controlling presence 😉

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nothing to do with Danilo trying his best to get a second yc then?

  2. Bobby Digital

    Aurier getting rinsed by Gnonto

    1. Traction Engine Foot

      Red card coming?

    I smell a Tottenham win today, City dressing room hear not good, Spurs also play well vs city at home too

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would you say it's an easy win? 😉

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

      I just need Kane to score one at least

    3. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Unless you're a sniffer dog I wouldn't trust your smelling skills.

    4. banskt

      Will Arsenal fans support Tottenham today?

    2FT - 2M ITB - Currently looking to do Toney & Almiron to Mahrez & Nketiah. Good to go or make different moves?

    DDG,
    Trippier, White, Shaw,
    KDB, Mahrez, Martinelli, Rashford
    Nketiah, Kane, Haaland

    Ward, Mitoma, Botman, Cucurella

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

      Good moves.

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

    Get Bamford off the donkey.

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

      Should bring in Aaronson for him and push Gnonto up.

  6. putana
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Cant believe Haaland is still above 100% EO. How boring do you have to be

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

      Has to be lots of dead team in the mix.

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

        dont think so. Im at 25k and still 109% at my rank

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

          Wow....

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

      Yeah, we need more teams with Bamford, Auba and Teddy Sheringham up front.

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

      You are welcome to be the change that you want to see.

      I will stick with Haaland.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      There are dumber options to captain. Haaland can go crazy against anyone

  7. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Neco yc

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

    Summerville!

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

    Which is the better use of FT?

    a) Martinelli ➝ Odegaard this week.
    b) Patterson* ➝ 11th player in BGW25.

    I think the answer is (a), but wanted some confirmation.

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

      b

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

        Really? I thought Odegaard could outscore Martinelli by 20+ points over the next 4-5 weeks, whereas the 11th player (a defender) has a high probability of scoring 2 points (may be, 6-8 points at a stretch).

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      а

  10. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    is greenwood frozen out?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Release Greenwood! Oh wait...
      (But for Leeds one, just not first choice.)

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

      I wouldn't say that. He's just not a regular starter

  11. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    KDB benched

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Pep actually telling the truth for once 😮 RE: tactics. Glad to have moved him on this week.

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

      This hurts!

      I kept KDB, and expected him to outscore Bruno over the next 4-5 weeks.

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

    Alvarez is killing KDB!

    1. Bobby Digital

    1. g40steve

      2 years, 11 months ago

      About to tank

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

    KDB against tired legs. Should also be well rested for the double gameweeks

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not worth 12.4m.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      does he start both games? he's just had 2 weeks of rest and still benched today

  17. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is KDB a hold for double or move to Mahrez or even Álvarez?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez in.

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

      Mahrez turn to get a rest next week?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

    4. Mirror Man
        2 years, 11 months ago

        We expect more after 11 years. Very disappointing. Upvote locked out.

      • La Roja
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

      Struijk close to a second yellow

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

        That should be his second & off

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

        3rd Struijk and he'll be out!

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

      If Alvarez is starting, doesn’t that mean Maurer might be benched as well?

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

        Mahrez*

      2. Mirror Man
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I don't feel like speculating for the next three minutes.

        • Shark Team
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          No Mahrez RW Alvarez behind Haaland

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years

            • 7 Years

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

        Time for KDB to retire. He's too old, he said it himself.

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

        I’m holding KDB for the double, no doubt.

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

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