Double Gameweek 32 comes to a head on Wednesday evening with three Premier League matches that all kick off at 19:45 BST.

Crystal Palace are the visitors to Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium, while Manchester City and Chelsea host Cardiff City and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively.

The headline team news at the Etihad sees Pep Guardiola make seven changes, with Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and David Silva among the players to drop to the bench.

Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gündogan are also among the substitutes, while Nicolas Otamendi drops out of the match-day squad.

Guardiola had previously ruled Sergio Aguero out of tonight’s match, so it is no shock to see Gabriel Jesus leading the line for City.

Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez will flank the Brazilian, while there is a first Premier League start of the season for Phil Foden.

Fernandinho, John Stones and Danilo are also recalled.

Neil Warnock has made only one change, with Harry Arter being replaced in the starting XI by Joe Ralls.

Maurizio Sarri has matched Guardiola in making seven alterations.

Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea starting XI following his benching at Cardiff on Sunday, while there is a full Premier League debut for Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Gonzalo Higuain makes way for Olivier Giroud, while Emerson Palmieri replaces the injured Marcos Alonso.

N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andreas Christensen are recalled as Willian, Pedro, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Antonio Rudiger drop out.

Chris Hughton has made four changes, the most eye-catching of which sees the fit-again Florin Andone replace Glenn Murray up front.

Solly March, Bruno and Gaetan Bong all start at the expense of Anthony Knockaert, Martin Montoya and Bernardo.

Son Heung-min returns to the Spurs starting XI, replacing Lucas Moura in the Lilywhites’ attack.

Ben Davies is preferred to Davinson Sanchez in Mauricio Pochettino’s only other change.

Roy Hodgson has brought Cheikhou Kouyate, James McArthur and Martin Kelly into his starting XI and benched Scott Dann, Max Meyer and Andros Townsend.

That means Jeffrey Schlupp will move even further upfield on the left of a front three, with Wilfried Zaha switching to the right flank.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Hazard.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong, Bissouma, Stephens, Propper, March, Andone, Jahanbakhsh.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Zinchenko, Stones, Laporte, Danilo, Fernandinho, Foden, De Bruyne, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Camarasa, Murphy, Hoilett, Niasse.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose, Alli, Son, Kane.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Kelly, Van Aanholt, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur, Zaha, Batshuayi, Schlupp.

    97 including hazard and son baps. Satisfied I guess. Though could have been so much more

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Yeah I know.

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      good job

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      FH 92 all out and the OR is predicted to stand still, disappointing. Good thing is the original non FH team scored 78 ...

  2. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    The person I hate most from this DGW is Roy Hodgson for making me doubt Guaita

  3. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    Kane most frustrating fpl player. Massively over priced.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Again? 🙂

  4. AuFeld
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    And the Kane drought begins at the new stadium.

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Son is money friendly alternative.

  5. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    FH Team, full 11 DGWers

    65 pts all out

    FERKS AKE

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      76pts no-FH but triple cap sterling

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

  6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    You lot are rubbish, I'm going somewhere else.

  7. BigBillyBass
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    95 all out. I’ll take it!

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    Oh my Kane 😮

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      What a plum

  9. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    85 points if bonus holds, not brilliant but I'll take it as was only on 45 points after yesterday's games

  10. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    96 points.

    Decent enough green arrow. That'll do. 😀

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Same. Hope I get a green.

  11. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    Up to 7.6 k now fellows, but no WC is going to be tough to navigate....

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      I WC’d the week it came out and i’ve not found it that challenging to be fair even up to now

    2. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Not that bad - DGW will be tough to call City have tough fixutres and Utd/Spurs aren't the best either.

      My draft has a back line of Brighton/Brighton/ Arsenal/Watford/Southampton (which says a lot)

  12. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    Broke a tonne first time this season (with a FH), 107 if baps stay the same, not too shabby.

  13. Surfeit of Lampteys
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    Hard luck Sterling captainers. Not cool.

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Don’t worry, I’m good anyway 🙂

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Mark Sutherns is fuming

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      I'm one of them. 🙁

  14. ludaslol
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    91 with Rudiger, Smalling, lindelof ö, bats and Sterling. Guess it could be worse

  15. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    So many weird and unexpected results this gameweek. Can’t see anyone relevant break a 100 points

    1. ♤TeddyBear♤
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Lol at this. Loads of people over 100. Including myself

      1. TOPCAT1960
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        107 for me

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          But does he consider you relevant?

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        ok

      3. Bunk Moreland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        ‘Relevant’

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Lots of people over 100.

      I would've been if I had just gotten my keeper and captain right and I didn't even FH!

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Nice one mate 🙂

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      None of you have a team link........

    5. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      I'm irrelevant. But got over 100pts!

    6. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      😛

  16. Majestic Chanka
    • 9 Years

    (Smug Face)

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    Rainier. How many BAPs for Trippier?
    Sadly think my rival will just hit the 100.

  18. Alexike8 fc
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    106 plus son and hazard bonus to be added, Aguero x3 captain and 8 points hit worth it

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      114 for me with bonus, only Sterling and Pogba failed to bring any returns, overall bery pleased with FH, up from 41k to 21k 🙂

      1. Alexike8 fc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Awesome! Congrats

  19. Budweiser
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    Az annoyingly persuaded me to change to 3 City attackers on the Scout cast so I went
    Eriksen to D Silva
    Laporte to Young
    Before the deadline
    FFS

    1. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Gotta be making your own final decisions. I'd rather mess up because of my own choice than succeed because of what was told to me by someone else.

        At the end of the day it's your team, gotta take ownership over it.

        1. Budweiser
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          I know I'm annoyed at myself not him. Just gutted really

      • Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Never be persuaded by someone else

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Anyone thinking things are going to get better next GW are seriously mistaken.

        Double and Blank GWs only ever bring misery and disappointment.

        Anyone banking on a Leicester cleanie for the Huddersfield game, you have been warned.

      • Regin
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Should have just bought hojberg away to Brighton than sterling against 2 relegated teams. And spread the 7 million elsewhere. Damn!

      • JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        92, not bad considering I had Young lol

      • Samwise
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        114 without bonus points... solid game week...

        1. JohnnyMagrinho
            7 years, 11 days ago

            You like constantly updating us with your score on here don't you, bud? At it all the time.

            Well done?

          • Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            Jesus

          • POLSKA GOLA
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            I’m on 114 as well 🙂

        2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          113 if baps remain. Best GW in a while.

        3. BigBillyBass
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          Eriksen top scorer this week with 20

          1. POLSKA GOLA
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            I remember one of the Spurs fans on here saying Wriksen was their most consistent performer and much better pick for the DGW than Kane.
            I wonder if he did get Eriksen in though, Erik seemed out of everyone’s radar for some reason. My biggest differential was Martial, just 2.77% top 10k had him but 10 points is not that great considering Mili/Jota/Bernardo scores

            1. BigBillyBass
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 11 days ago

              Yeah Eriksen definitely went under the radar! He was definitely absent from most template teams on here. Martial ended up being the best Utd pick this week so you can at least be happy with that!

        4. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          2 juicy ones likely for Laporte.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            Really hope you’re right

        5. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          Kola is only 5 mill?! Wow! Thought he'd be more...!!

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            You not noticed until GW33? 😀

        6. KLOPPTOMANIA
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          Pretty pleased with 101 with a WC that had to compromise to enable the next DGWs

        7. suddenorgan
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          just spotted a workmate going to break 120 on bench boost with triple Wolves/Spurs/Palace, not bad at all

        8. Sif
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          Very few bench players coming in this week I imagine...

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            Would have done if I had a keeper who played (Boruc & Speroni)

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 11 days ago

              DGW and still only had 10 players lol
