Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Newcastle United v Leicester City and West Ham United v Burnley kicking off at 14:15 GMT.

The headline team news comes from St James’ Park, where Brendan Rodgers makes eight changes to the Leicester XI that beat PSV Eindhoven in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Kasper Schmeichel, Youri Tielemans and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are the only players to retain their places, which means James Maddison and Harvey Barnes have to settle for places on the bench.

Eddie Howe, meanwhile, makes just one change for Newcastle as Miguel Almiron replaces the injured Ryan Fraser. Joe Willock is a substitute after returning to training last week.

In the wake of Sean Dyche’s departure, Burnley Under-23 coach Mike Jackson takes temporary charge of the team and makes two changes to the side that lost at Norwich in Gameweek 32.

Josh Brownhill and Aaron Lennon drop to the bench and are replaced by Jack Cork and Dwight McNeil. That means Matthew Lowton and Wout Weghorst are once again named in the starting XI in what appears the Clarets usual 4-4-2 system.

There is less Fantasy interest at West Ham, who make three changes from the loss at Brentford. In come Issa Diop, Ben Johnson and Nikola Vlasic, with the injured Kurt Zouma, Vladimir Coufal and Pablo Fornals dropping out.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Krafth, Schar, Burn, Targett, Shelvey, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Wood

    At least Chris Wood blanked

    1. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      He's blanked in every game bar one......

      1. Fintroy
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        He is the new wegghorst !!!!!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 3 days ago

      Before this gw I got one goal from both WW and CW.

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Someone out there did Weghorst > Wood I'm sure

      1. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Probably for a hit too

  2. Fintroy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    You know you've had crap game week when weg-donkey is your top points scorer!!!.... and he wasn't even my captain

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

      It was Ronaldo or bust to this point really

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      You know it's a low scoring GW when 23 from 9, is good enough for a green arrow.

  3. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Weghorst believers, we got what we deserved at last.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Yeah. I was benching him all week up until Friday evening as well!!! Haha.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I own him but I don't believe in him 😆

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Believed so much, I benched him.

    4. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Needs to hold those baps.

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Yeah it was a nice parting gift

  4. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    pope back to 5 saves of course

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Good, now take 3bps from the donkey.

  5. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    And I was going to copy scouts picks for FH out of laziness. Ended up with no Ronaldo or Newcastle Bruno. Lesson learnt.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      They just didn't have funds to upgrade Bruno G.

  6. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    25 points with 9 to play and no captain. Returns from Willock and Weggy, so fairly happy... 😀

  7. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Saw Az captained Bruno and immediately went to get him in on FH. But then went, that’s a mental call, pushing luck and differential too far for a CM to get his season worth of goals in 1 DGw.

    Little did I know it’s Az’s world and we’re all just living in it.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      AZ captain, Scout Team, Differential Article. It just had to be...

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      It's a crazy punt but when it comes off it's glorious.

      Although those are the ones that are remembered and all the bad decisions forgotten. Much worse but reminds me of my uncles old mate who must have lost about 150k on gambling, had the bayliff's round to take away his car and had his wife who walked up on him. The only thing his mates down the local remember him for is his 20k win on an accumulator.

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Oh absolutely we only remember winners, but Az has pretty much all winners this season.

        But with millions of players and 100k engaged players standard deviation means some people are going to just keep getting it right (while the majority get it wrong).

        Fun that it’s happening with a seemingly popular pundit like Az and similar to betting. It’s the big winner stories that sell the product.

        I’m just annoyed I didn’t transfer him in on FH purely on the basis that Az picked him and therefore luck will strike haha

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I heard the talk about him, but went with the crowd and chose Maddison. Didn't really consider him as real option (no WC left).

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      For every Guimaraes, there's a Cornet punt.

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    An absolute damp wet donkey garbage of GW.

    LMS safety score currently 17 with autosubs.

    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    So far still ok gw to have bad gw. Yet after Salah haul can't say even that.

  11. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Pre-FH: 8 (9 to play)
    FH: 52 (9 to play)

    Awesome, even with captian blank.

    Mind, Salah & Trent could close that gap considerately vs. United 😆

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    How many players to go for you to save this unbelievable GW?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Do Wood and ASM count as players?

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      8 plust a 1 point cameo from James most likely.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Unsavable for me.

      Be lucky to get to 25 points.

    4. JBG
      • 7 Years

      9 players left.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA

  14. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    A punt on Bruno G for GW 35? Has got to be better than starting Saka.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Kneejerk reaction

      Saka will be playing a tired West Ham

  15. Sun Jihai

      Yours, yeah?? Awesome!!!

  16. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    13 from 8

    Truly laughable.

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I'm on 15 from 7

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Could be an all time low score here.

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      17(-8) from 7.
      7 to go 🙁

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I'll never forget the week from I think 2 seasons ago where my final score was 19, and bear in mind that I didn't have any players missing, truly horrendous. Hopefully the second half of this week will help most pick things up

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

      Just think, it could be a lot worse!

  17. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Palace fans absolutely destroying it at Wembley!

  18. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Benched Willock for Broja the legend.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Benched Rodriguez for Toney.

      Which would have worked well if I had done that last week.

  19. N00B
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    What is this gameweek?
    - No single return from 7 players
    - My transfer was Wood in for Weghorst
    - Wood captain

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      It's a shocker, the only consolation is that the misery is widespread.

    2. Quality Quality Qualit
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      No return from 9, Kane (c)

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Holy crap - just saw Nathan Ferguson. He exists!

  21. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Instant regret going for doublers rather than good single week players.

    Broja and schar prime examples

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Who are the good single week players though? Spurs already tanked.

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Dennis, Janssen and Pukki, it was obvious...

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Trossard perma captain does it again

  22. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    What about a 2-2 or 3-3 between Burnley and Soton? Weggy and Broja doubles or hatties... 😀

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

    That moment your friend picks the wrong Bruno and profits!

  24. Sterling Malory
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    BB active; 18 points from 9 played. (K)ane blank.

    12 left to play, the only way is up.

    1. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I'm on 19 from 9. Brutal week.

  25. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Would you wildcard this team?

    Lloris, Foster
    van Dijk, Cancelo, Rüdiger, White, Amarty
    Fernandes, Saka, Martinelli, Kulusevski, Ramsey
    Kane, Ronaldo, Weghorst

    Thank you!

  26. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    14 from 8. 11 to go.

    Need a big performance from that 11! Suffering this week

  27. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Dan Burn with no assist!? The assist rules in FPL feel really harsh, not to mention inconsistent.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Sure Bruno had what, *3* pokes at it!!??? Lol

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Does that matter?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Bruno 3 shots after the flick on.

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Does that matter?

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      It consistent and as clear as day on this one. It’s never been an assist when the goal is scored from the scorers own rebounded shot.

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Rebounds get assists? Rules state…

        Rebounds
        If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.

        Crazy to think Raphinha got an assist for his cross the other week that was palmed out to a completely different player he was aiming for, yet todays isn’t given.

        1. DeadStarComing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Surely it doesn’t matter how many attempts he has to put it in, whoever assisted him should get an assist. Rules should be changed for next season if not.

          1. thegame983
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 days ago

            Bruno G assisted his own goal

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 3 days ago

            But Dan Burn didn't get the shot that was blocked or saved, he flicked it to Bruno who got the shot that was blocked and saved at least 3 times

            1. DeadStarComing
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              4 years, 3 days ago

              Oh I see. I think they need to change that for next season. If someone asked who set that goal up you’d say Dan Burn.

    4. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Howay the lads. Come on you black and white army

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      James at RCB to preserve energy or pace vs Zaha?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Due to Zaha, yeh.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        He played there in CL too.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Yeah, Vinicius Jr. a major threat too.

          Less worries vs West Ham & United in that regard, hopefully he's back on the wing.

      3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        He's played there quite a lot lately hasn't he? Bit worried this'll be a regular thing, I know these have been big cup games but if Tuchel feels it's safer defensively to deal with pacey LWs/CFs then there's surely a good chance he keeps him there right?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Yeah it's a worry.

    6. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Best captain option next gw?
