Man Utd given Double Gameweek 20 in FPL

Fantasy Premier League

The Scout looks at the best targets as Red Devils' trip to Crystal Palace is rescheduled

Managers in Fantasy Premier League could be revising their plans for Double Gameweek 20 after Manchester United’s trip to Crystal Palace was rescheduled on Sunday.

The match has been moved to Wednesday 18 January, giving both clubs a Double Gameweek 20.

Man Utd host local rivals Manchester City on Saturday 14 January, while Palace visit Chelsea the following day.

This means four sides currently have a Double Gameweek 20, with Man City and Tottenham Hotspur also playing twice.

Sunday's announcement further raises the appeal of in-form pair Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m).

They are already among the four most-bought players for the Gameweek, earning 246,000 and 189,000 new owners respectively.

Rashford has collected 27 points in the three Gameweeks since domestic action returned, while Shaw has 32 points.
