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.

      Such a shame only three relegation spots … so many deserving of going down. Nice freshen up if Everton, Leeds, Burnley, Watford, Brentford, Norwich and, yeah Newcastle were dismissed.

        18 team league, but get Rangers and Celtic in too. Would get a lot of weaker teams in the PL.

      2. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just get rid of the top 3 or 4 and make the league really interesting.

      Welp, I'll take that from Ramsey. Takes the sting out of having him first on bench instead of Coady.

    • COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey lmao ffs

        1. COLLIN QUANER
          • 9 Years

          Yep lol. Haven't sold but the first week I've benched him. Played Weghorst over him

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

      I suppose I can't complain too much about 9pts from Bamford, Burn and Elyounoussi considering how it looks like most have done, just have to hope Bamford isn't injured but have little faith

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

        Ah Ramsey scores on my bench, forgot what I said then

      Fpl aside, watching relegation battles at the end of the season can be so much fun

    • _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Digne and Hwang owner
      Benched Sa and Saiss
      Sold Ramsey

      Fpl at its best.

    • KAALI_DAAL
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I see that Silva got benched. But what happened to Livramento?

      Getting Pukki and Kilman from bench so not so bad i guess.

    • Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Broja subbed off injured apparently.

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Some serious amount of bench points for bad options loading up already!

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Absolute flurry of late points!
