Blank Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway this evening as Wolverhampton Wanderers play host to Leeds United at Molineux.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

For the visitors, Jesse Marsch will have to cope without Raphinha, who is not involved after testing positive for Covid.

As a result, Jack Harrison comes into the starting XI, in the only change from the side that started the 2-1 win over Norwich City in Gameweek 29.

Patrick Bamford, meanwhile, leads the line, with Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper returning to the bench after long-term injuries.

As for Wolves, Bruno Lage makes three changes with Willy Boly, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Daniel Podence replacing Max Kilman, Marcal and Hwang Hee-chan, all of whom drop to the bench.


GAMEWEEK 30 LINE-UPS

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Boly, Coady, Saiss, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri, Dendoncker, Podence, Jimenez

Subs: Marcal, Trincao, Silva, Chiquinho, Ruddy, Kilman, Gomes, Hwang, Cundle

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas, Klich, Forshaw, James, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford

Subs: Koch, Cooper, Klaesson, Phillips, Gelhardt, Cresswell, Summerville, Greenwood, Kenneh

    Bizarre overnight "Highest Points" with 33 points - one of those weekly teams with TC on Ayling, 3 Leeds players and only Coutinho and Ramsdale left to play - Who does that?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Basically there are 100s or 1000s of teams set-up each week to try and go for the team of the weak on a given day. Stupid but FPL don’t care as it inflates the player count.

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        I know that but why only 3 Leeds player - he could have had 3 Wolves players too

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          Shows as being a Leeds fan. Probably was just having a laugh.

          1. HashAttack
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            True - Suckers people like me to make comments on it 🙂

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          Same guy probably had another variant with triple Wolves

    2. Dammit_182

      4 years, 18 days ago

      Because if you back the underdog consistently enough the underdog wins out

    I just woke up to this carnage. First time this season I've missed my transfer

    What's this about Trent? Is it an 'International injury' or is it for real?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Real, few weeks out

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      International, worse case scenario will miss watford

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        It’s clever by klopp so that he misses England games IMO

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

          Considering he lost Gomez and Trent previously on England duty I don’t blame him!

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Not sure why fplstats has him listed on the drop list, the numbers don't add up with 108k nti last week and 18k nto this

  3. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Just came to see some Jim owners and feel s little better from my 2 pts from Raph, Saiss and Hwang...

  4. Steve The Spud

    What’s the crack with james ?

    Obviously wait but digne > James seems a no brainer

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah, I'm just debating James vs Cancelo myself.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Looks like he'll be in tomorrow's squad. I'm hoping he won't travel with England, will be a dead cert for Tierney next week which will also free up a spot for another Arsenal attacker for me

    3. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I think Dan James played ok and Leeds posed a decent fight back without their best players.

  5. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Is Jimenez out for two games as it’s his 2nd red card? So misses Villa AND Newcastle?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Believe so

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Brilliant. Extra insult to injury as he was on +104% to rise but now 10k have sold him so he’s no longer going up!

  6. jia you
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    I've taken 112 points worth in hits so far this season but think I've chosen to right week to not take one! Seems to be a differential in itself this GW.

  7. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    I have stamped on my hampster and he's not responding to heart massage...... A&E are not interested. I have no pet insurance, just a hope that the local vet is an FPL player and will give charity.
    Thank God I don't own a cat.
    Sorry All.

    I am spending a few days repenting and feeding the birds but not the Magpies because they're blooby murderous IDIOTS.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years

        • 7 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        that was the only game didnt have players on and thank God I dont need to spend transfers on Wolves players

    2. Scapegoat Salah

      -1/3 green 🙂

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    -7 and an arrow wow

    1. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Which defender did you go for in the end?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Amartey

        1. Dammit_182
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 18 days ago

          Good luck with it. I’ve got the double spurs wing backs on the FH. Hopefully West Ham are still napping.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 18 days ago

            Thanks you too, Amartey was all I could afford, might not even play

  11. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    With Jonny Jimmy and Raph in that game it was literally the Good the Bad and the Ugly

    1. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      The Leeds reserve keeper got more points than SA

      1. Dammit_182
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        That’s how ugly the gene was

  12. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone know what's in the water in Scandinavia? The current top 4 overall are either Swedish or Norwegian!

    1. Dammit_182
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I think it’s Absinthe. That’ll do it.

    2. jack88
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      If you see livefpl elite, most of them are Scandinavian

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      There’s nothing else to do over there

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        +1

      2. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        I was wondering if there might be a correlation between FPL success and paying more tax/having a more egalitarian society, but you're probably right, after all I'm looking forward to going to Aldi tomorrow for my food shop and then visting my great aunt Molly in her care home, things that they will just never understand.

    4. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Nothing else to do

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        +1

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Fish piss.

  13. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    3 points from 4 players ... ouch

    FH players must be the winners this week with a bench for the Raphina no show

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      -1 (-5 with hit) from 2 + Raph

  14. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    How have I had 5 red cards in my fpl team this season. Antonio, Sanchez, Jimmy, Dennis, And Jimmy again. FML

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Someone, far away out there, is sitting smug tonight with Ayling, Jonny and a FT saved

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      And still haven't taken the wrapper off their toffee crisp

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Just a shame they probably stopped playing in GW2

    3. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Someone in my ML wildcarded INTO Jonny and Podence... WOW.

  16. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    At least Coady didn’t get an own goal.

    1 point from him and Hwang. Tierney, Saka, Son and Kane (c) left.

  17. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    West Ham fan here so as soon as the Wolves CS was wiped (Sa, Saiss & Coady owner) happy to see Leeds steal the win!

  18. Pratik
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone pressing the wildcard button today?

  19. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    My FH30 is meh.

    Need some help for 31 and going forward please. Only BB left to play!

    Sa
    Trent, Robbo, James, Rudi, Doherty
    Salah (c), Ziyech, Maddi
    Kane, Broja

    Foster, Bowen, Ramsey, Gelhardt.
    1FT. 0ITB.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      I know it's weeks away, just want some ideas in place. I don't think I need to lose James or Trent to be honest. I think they'll both be back for 31, if not definitely 32.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 18 days ago

      Looks really well set tbh with the triple Chelsea and could just save FT. Monitor TAA, James and Bowen news. Man City the main missing team with a good fixture. Deadline is next month so lots can change by then!

  20. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    How impressive was Marsch there tonight. Came out pitch side to do an interview with Carragher and Neville and the presenter after the game. They put him under pressure with their line of questioning but he dealt superbly with it. Clearly a people person with his plans based around emotional intelligence rather than IQ which let's face it, footballers for the most part lack in; Bamford being the exception in that squad perhaps. Was really impressed with his togetherness and patient, methodical responses though even in the height of that emotion. He's after doing himself no harm in the public eye there. Even pronounced Norwich properly also

      In team sports, leaders with EQ will excel. U need rally everyone to follow your vision and excute excute excute the plan

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 18 days ago

        Same goes for every industry. Management is management regardless of the industry. Your people are you and you are your people. Neither works without the other and everyone needs their managers support at all times

  21. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 18 days ago

    Sold saka instead of Salah for a hit before deadline. Dam gin.
