Double Gameweek 29 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues this Sunday lunchtime, with five matches kicking-off at 14:00 GMT:

  • Chelsea v Newcastle United
  • Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers
  • Leeds United v Norwich City
  • Southampton v Watford
  • West Ham United v Aston Villa

Starting at Stamford Bridge, Thomas Tuchel makes four changes from the 3-1 win over Norwich City, with Antonio Rudiger, Malang Sarr, N’Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech coming in for Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta, Saul and Mateo Kovacic.

As expected, Reece James remains out with the muscular problem that caused him to miss the second part of Chelsea’s Gameweek 28 double-header.

Eddie Howe also makes four alterations: Emil Krafth and Ryan Fraser drop to the bench alongside Allan Saint-Maximin, while Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Willock are not in the squad.

In come Jamaal Lascelles, Javier Manquillo, Sean Longstaff and Miguel Almiron.

At Goodison Park, Everton manager Frank Lampard makes three changes following their heavy defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

Ben Godfrey and Demarai Gray both return from injury, while Vitalii Mykolenko features at left-back. Michael Keane and Allan drop to the bench, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin doesn’t make the squad.

For the visitors, Bruno Lage also makes three changes, with Max Kilman, Marcal and Leander Dendoncker coming in for Willy Boly, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Daniel Podence.

Switching focus to Elland Road, Patrick Bamford makes his first start since September. That’s one of three changes, with Diego Llorente and Mateusz Klich also in the starting XI.

For the visitors, Ben Gibson, Lukas Rupp and Milot Rashica all come in.

At St Mary’s, Tino Livramento is not in the squad, while Armando Broja drops to the bench. That should mean one of Stuart Armstrong or Mohamed Elyounoussi moves up front alongside Che Adams.

Meanwhile, there are three changes for Watford, with Christian Kabasele, Juraj Kucka and Joao Pedro replacing Craig Cathcart, Tom Cleverley and Josh King, all of whom are substitutues.

Elsewhere, West Ham are without Jarrod Bowen but Declan Rice returns to Premier League action, while Steven Gerrard names an unchanged XI for the visitors.

    It's clear today from the VAR decisions that Chelsea are still paying the referees

    That's the main reason they're desperate to find a new source of funds ASAP

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Refs and VAR are just corrupt / criminally incompetent

  2. COLLIN QUANER

    If Everton don't score to wipe out that Wolves clean sheet then I hope they get relegated.

      Here here

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bet they’ll score straight away when they hear this

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Lol

      2. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Haha. I am hoping

    3. Sun Jihai

      Everton can score at any moment when DCL is playing 😎

      Nedd wolves, Chelsea & Newcastle to lose CS
      Lot of rudiger, dubvranka & wolves defence owners in ML & around my OR

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Likewise. Many Rudi owners near me in my leagues that opted to play it safe (a sign of weakness in my eyes) instead of going for the more explosive Reece James. Need a Newcastle goal

  3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Seriously Raphinha…no return against Norwich and you are a dead asset. Even more frustrating than the recently deceased Jota.

  4. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years

    Any news on Cancelo? I have Coady first sub with 15 points.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Was back in training yesterday.

  5. JBG

    Newcastle has actually become a entertaining team to watch... Can't remember the last time I could say that. Pardew era maybe?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, etc. days probably.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Shearer era

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Course the minute I don’t play my double Wolves defence they are straight back to being the clean sheet kings

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Playing Broja over Coady looking like a horror move right now.

    2. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      They are playing toothless everyon

      1. Shultan

    Villa on for their 5th CS in a row! Crazy good run from Gerrard's team. If only i'd gone Cash over Digne, points he is raking in...

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I had Cash for that exact run where they did nothing but concede or he got booked, got rid and a few weeks later he's probably the most in form FPL player

      1. swanseag55
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I got rid before his 3 weeks of hauls as needed money the get Weghorst in. Lost out on over 45 points you couldn’t make it up

      2. Stimps
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Same with me... I did Cash to Digne on WC a few game weeks back. How annoying

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      ah jinked it sorry Villa fans

  11. BobB

    Newcastle don't need more than a couple of signings to push top 4 next year.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Steady on 😆

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Might be getting a bit ahead of yourself there bud

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Shame isnt it :/

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah but getting those signings right is easier said than done and the traditional top teams won't be standing still either, but they can challenge why not it's not like spurs arsenal man utd are so superior like Liverpool and city are and Chelsea to a lesser extent

  12. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Why is Willock not in the team today, what are his chances of being back for the next game?
