One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for six gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

No FPL password, ever. We only read what FPL already publishes.

The rest of the template is fine. Bruno Fernandes (£11.8m, owned by 30.7% of managers) starts as the number ten. Bryan Mbeumo (£7.8m, owned by 19.5% of managers) starts alongside him. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.0m, owned by 22.7% of managers) leads the line for Leeds. Jack Bogle (£4.7m, owned by 9.7% of managers) starts in the Leeds back three's wing-back line, and Senne Lammens (£4.9m, owned by 8.8% of managers) is in the United goal.

One start few managers have: Anton Stach (£6.0m, owned by 2.3% of managers) is in the Leeds midfield.

Leeds line up 3-5-2: Trafford; Justin, Elvedi, Muharemović, Bogle, Gudmundsson; Stach, Ampadu, Tanaka, Okafor; Calvert-Lewin. Wilson, Nmecha and Aaronson are on the bench.

United go 4-2-3-1: Lammens; Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Martinez; Baleba, Andrey Santos; Amad, Fernandes, Tielemans; Mbeumo. Cunha, Rashford, Zirkzee and Mount are among the substitutes. Rashford (£6.9m, owned by 1.3% of managers) does not start either.

What this means for your team is simple. Cunha owners with him in the starting XI collect bench minutes at best — any appearance off the bench earns one point, nothing more unless he produces. If your automatic substitution order has a confirmed starter behind him, that is where the points are.

These are announced elevens, not projections. Fernandes starts. Mbeumo starts. Calvert-Lewin starts. Bogle and Lammens start. All of them play — keep them in your XI, and if Fernandes wears your armband, it stays on. Cunha sits on United's bench, so he sits on yours: move a confirmed starter ahead of him before the deadline passes.
