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.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Oh…

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I thought I was thinking ahead. Then I realized I wasn't thinking at all 😆

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Literally nobody surely

    3. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      My SGW keeper (Sa) might outscore the DGW keeper (Pickford).
      No surprises which on I fielded...

  3. The Bandit

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Raphinha will haul next week when people leave him out of their FH teams.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, he'll do a Ronaldo

    2. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You heard it here first

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

      No he'll start scoring GW31 when all of owners get rid

  4. deathcabofdevil
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Raphinha playing Crossbar challenge in actual matches for two years now.

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

      Ridiculous...

  5. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Mbuemo is a better player than Raphinha

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Raphinha is a better all around player especially as a 10

      Mbuemo is the better winger

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    At least Lampard got to shout at Klopp, time for a pundit gig!

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

    Sorry but Raph owners only have THEMSELVES to blame getting a player from a team destined for relegation

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

      They’ll probably stay up by default

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      There are a lot of teams destined for relegation.

  8. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Interesting to see if they stick with Eddie Howe in the summer or get in an A-lister

  9. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I'd love to see Burnley stay up and Everton go down

  10. g40steve

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      On my bench, CS good for his prospects of a GW30 start at least

  11. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Could do with one more safe SoT from Everton

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

    Do everyone not realise these games in hand need to be won to avoid relegation battle
