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.

    De Gea with Cojones of Destiny

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

    Did I just hear right? We haven't lost at home since December?

  10. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Is it worth using my WC this week to change just 3, maybe 4 if Shaw is injured, players with the only headline transfer being KDB in?

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

      When else would you really use it? Do you still have FH?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah still got FH. Could use it in 33 but I seem to recall that you can't use 2 chips in consecutive GWs

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

          Wasn't that just from the year we had 2 FHs?

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Not sure actually. I will check rules and report back. Saves us speculating.

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

              Psssh. Checking the rules is for chumps. Wild speculation is where it's at

              1. The Big Fella
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 9 months ago

                Turns out you were right and even after checking them, we are still left with wild speculation as the only tool in the toolbox because they're not clear on the subject at all

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

                  I am fairly sure it was just the whole situation around the double FH. You can certainly WC and then BB so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to play other chips consecutively

                  1. The Big Fella
                    • 9 Years
                    2 years, 9 months ago

                    Enough of your logic and experience. We like wild speculation round here

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

                      🙂

          2. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Doesn't mention one way or the other

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

      I wouldn’t. Be more useful in 33 and a good fixture swing

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Not sure who I would change in my team though for that swing. I would still want to keep Haaland, Kane, Saka, Rashford, Mitoma, Trippier, White, Pope, Steele, Bueno is the best enabler and is bench fodder anyway...... these are all in form players playing for something (except Kane who is just a machine).

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking the same. No FH either makes it a huge headache.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I have FH and it is still a headache. Really am stuck with this. I could get rid of Martinelli too I suppose, as Jesus is likely to eat into his minutes, but he is so in form and Arsenal are playing well.

  11. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Wissa coming on.

  12. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Trippier not in the baps? What's going on?

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

    Because of the yellow sponsor on Newcastle's sleeve I keep thinking every player is the captain

  14. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Transfered Shaw in was really bad.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Good decision bad outcome.

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Gabriel/White >>>>>

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

    Bruno has been very poor.

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    What happened to Shaw? Injury ?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hammy

  17. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Bruno has been really awful twice this gw

  18. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Damn still stuck on 146 points, Toney/Mee/Rashford/Trippier do something!

    1. romperstomper
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Same. Plus pinnock

  19. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Come on Rashford another return would be glorious

  20. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    It has been a really annoying second half to watch. Nothing happening except fouls and free kicks

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

    Remember Dasilva scoring from a DDG howler in the reverse game with 0.02 xG and him having 1.1m ownership the following game?

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

      That seems so long ago

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

      Remember Foo Fighter raging against the 4.5m mids then falling in love with DaSilva?

  22. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Zouma missed the target. May have done better if there was a cat painted on the ball.

  23. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I want Toney to score first and Rash to score winner! Zero chance though 🙁

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

    Really need a Bruno return

  25. EffPeeEll
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Fat Frank back at Chelsea - it was the team that chucked him under the bus more or less.

    Unbelievable this season 😉

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They're going to lose ever match from now until the end of the season

  26. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Need returns from anyone

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

      Only rash returned for me so far
      All cs gone, shaw off ,Bruno booked!

  27. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Antony is awful

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

    Darwin and Havertz and Antony FML

  29. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Anthony is the most PES player I've ever seen...

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