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.

    I wildcarded out Broja, Livramento, Digne and Fernandes this week.

    And Ronaldo. But what the heck

  3. Herger

  5. NABIL - FPL otai

    Justice for Livra owners!

  6. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As soon as he leaves Livra out Watford score against them. Genius Ralf.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He's injured.

  7. The Mentaculus

    Rodrigo G
    Come on!

  8. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    When did Dennis get a name change?

  9. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hwang off. Well I guess I'm not doing Broja > Hwang in GW30...

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Another cheap 30 player bites the dust

  10. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hwang injured

  11. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dennis has done little for weeks. Hernandez their main man now.

  12. badgerboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hwang'd

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could be a whangstring

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rival in tears

  13. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Going with Digne over Cash couple of weeks ago was an all time tragic decision

    1. FootballDog
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could not agree more

    2. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That's been the case whenever I've bought Digne - always the wrong choice

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

  14. asr
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hwang subbed

  15. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Digne injured. [facepalm]

  16. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why isn't Fraser playing?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wasnt he flagged? Had an injury I thought

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He was then played last game and not flagged now

  17. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So far playing Saiss over Hwang and Broja looks good...

  18. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is raphina even playing out there? Jeez talk about a fall from grace he’s been useless and totally anonymous today so far

  19. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Argh, benched Rodrigo and played Broja. Please no cameo

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Bamford back with an assist already?

  21. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hwang and Digne owner.. was already short next week... sigh

    1. Forgetmeknot
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ooph that’s just pure bad luck, especially with next week in mind

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can you get to Toney?

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes mate I'll prob do that

  22. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I thought Salisu is their best CB..

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Not the type of injuries non-FH30 teams were looking for...

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Watford just 1 point behind Everton as it stands.

    But Everton have 3 games in hand. Surely a £500 million squad can't go down?

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Everton won’t go down, we should stop with this. They were bullying Arsenal for relegation at the beginning of the season, first and second team in terms of not being relegated the longest. Arsenal in fact was never relegated.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Struggling to get out of the pit.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Benched.

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not that image again 😉

  25. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Don't own Digne, but he screws over owners too much.

  26. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    At least I don't have to wait until full-time to confirm my striker's blank against the worst team in the league. Refreshing.

  27. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ok so I was doomed if I did and doomed if I didn’t with starting Hwang or Broja

  28. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Willock starting, Rodrigo 3rd on bench behind Broja and James 🙂

    But you know Broja will come in if Southampton keep chasing

    1. pakornk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rodrigo plays Norwich and you benched him?

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Rest of the team is all doubles and Rüdi 🙂
        I wanted to BB but Broja and James now tell me I wasn’t wrong not to.

        I forgot about the bench order though.

  29. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Rodrigo doing good for the GW30 audition..
