The biggest Double Gameweek of 2022/23 comes to a conclusion this evening with two more Premier League matches, both of which get underway at 20:00 BST.

There’s European qualification and top-flight survival at stake as Manchester United host Brentford and West Ham United take on Newcastle United.

There’s significant Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in tonight’s fixtures, too, of course:

There aren’t too many shocks when it comes to the all-important team news, particularly at Old Trafford.

It’s one change apiece: Erik ten Hag brings in Jadon Sancho for Wout Weghorst, while Thomas Frank recalls Mads Roerslev at the expense of Aaron Hickey.

Probably the headline line-up call of the night comes from the London Stadium, where Eddie Howe has brought in Sunday’s goalscoring match-sealer Callum Wilson for Alexander Isak up top.

Joe Willock, who was a doubt for this match due to hamstring discomfort, also drops to the bench, with Joelinton taking his place in midfield.

Hosts West Ham have also changed their central striker as Michail Antonio comes in for Danny Ings.

That’s the Hammers’ only alteration from their 1-0 win over Southampton.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, McTominay, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford.

    Points for everyone. Except Weghorst owners. Which seems unfair.

      Trying for the 2nd comment in the thread

    Enjoy the final twists and turns of the dgw29

    won't happen again like this for a season I guess

    1. Mr. O'Connell

      Least enjoyable week of the season so far. Will be glad to see the back of it.

  3. Zenith UK

    2 years, 9 months ago

    Hoping for;
    Rashford blank
    Henry clean sheet
    Henry assist
    Toney goal
    Burn clean sheet before he gets subbed off at 61' and West Ham go on to win the game

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      Rashy come on son, hatty time! 😆

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I'll cry. 121% near me.

        Already suffered keeping Badiashile instead of bringing in Trippier (would've been a -8)

  4. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Mitoma cappers turn to hide behind the sofa tonight!

  5. lappingitup
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    115 with 5 to play

    No Rashy or Bruno

    Hoping to get away without too much of a red

  6. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Brentford to win comfortably

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure about comfortably but yeah I kind of fancy a Brentford win here or score draw

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      wow

      Maybe Woy isn't with it entirely

  7. banskt

    Before the games begin, what would you suggest for this team?

    2FT, 0.7m
    Kepa
    Trippier, Gabriel, Chilwell
    Odegaard, Rashford, Saka, Maddison
    Haaland, Kane, Toney
    (Steele, Mitoma, Schar, Mee)

    Chips left: BB, FH
    With Haaland injured, I did not play the BB this week, which was foolish in hindsight. How to navigate the remaining GWs? I am considering selling Odegaard and Mee. What do you think?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If Toney gets booked, are you keeping him?

      Wait until the games are finished.

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

        No, I will sell Toney if he gets booked.

        Yes, I will wait until the games are finished.

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      maybe just maddison to Grealish or Mahrez?

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

        I was considering Odegaard to Grealish. I will use FH32, so Grealish would be an addition for BB34.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Probably need to start directing your transfers towards BB34 (& FH32)

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

        Yes, that is the plan. I will buy City, United and Brighton players from now on.

  8. g40steve

    NewC escape

  9. g40steve
    • 7 Years

    Wilson G

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      StMax A

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Wow my stream is slow. Just saw that go in.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        My mate text me. Corner hadn't even been taken, felt sick as thought Trippier had got the assist for a moment

  10. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Get a haircut, ball boy. Ugh.

  11. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Raya SOT

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Raya is taking shots too! Amazing stuff 🙂

  12. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Where is the guy who said Callum "Always Scores vs West Ham" Wilson? LOOOL

  13. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bad for Trippier bonus

  14. dshv
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    That wilson stole my isak show

  15. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    West Ham defending for that goal was disastrous. Wilson wide open on the penalty spot to head that in.

  16. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Raya punching crosses so it looks like saves 😀

  17. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    TOON

  18. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Frustrating to watch Antony in possession as he slows build up in attack

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He’s absolute garbage

  19. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Linton off goal

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Could be GOAL

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Given

        1. fantasist
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Shay?

        2. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Schar A

  20. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    That might not be off...?

  21. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Kherer left heel plays him on, no? (WHU fan)

  22. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Schar Assist

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      At last. Beautiful

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Amazing. After getting rid of him on wildcard a few weeks ago, he finally gets an attacking return! Typical 😀

  23. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    OMG, miles on... Emerson. 2-0
    Joelinton goal, Schar assist?

  24. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Assist?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sofascore says trippier. Not watching though

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Ah updated now. Schar

  25. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Omg Schar assist?!?!?! Yus!!

  26. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Schar attacking return has been hugely due

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Keep a CS Toon, that’s all I care about

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Trippier YC though please

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        You can cut out all that sort of talk ....

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Already got burned keeping Badiashile over him, only have Burn.

  28. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Disgraceful from Zouma. Effing jogging back like that. POS. Get out my club.

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If he saw a cat he would've run faster

  29. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Schar finally with a return!

    He could have scored 3 goals in last match

  30. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    WHU defence made that Schar through ball look too easy

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      You see Zouma look at Aguerd like, what you doing over there mate? Stop staring at your CB partner and sprint back!!! Fuming
