Three more Premier League matches follow hot on the heels of Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United.

Leicester City v Aston Villa, Manchester City v Watford and Norwich City v Newcastle United start at the traditional kick-off time and all feature some well-owned Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets.

Brendan Rodgers makes four changes with one eye on Thursday’s Europa Conference League semi-final against Roma.

Caglar Soyuncu and James Justin replace Jonny Evans and Ricardo Pereira at the back, while further forward, Ademola Lookman and Patson Daka come in for Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Jamie Vardy, meanwhile, makes his return from injury as a substitute.

Aston Villa, who are on a run of four defeats in a row, opt for two changes from the 4-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur, as Ashley Young and Leon Bailey replace the injured Lucas Digne and Danny Ings.

At the Etihad, Pep Guardiola makes six changes from Wednesday’s win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Gabriel Jesus, Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling all feature in attack, while Ruben Dias makes his first start since March as he partners Aymeric Laporte in defence.

For the visitors, Jeremy Ngakia, Tom Cleverley and Joshua King come in as Kiko Femenia and Juraj Kucka miss out with minor knocks and Joao Pedro drops to the bench.

Norwich face Newcastle at Carrow Road and Dean Smith makes just one change with Christoph Zimmermann in for Ben Gibson at the back.

Eddie Howe, however, rings the changes as Fabian Schar and Chris Wood are benched, with Jamaal Lascelles, Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock and Jacob Murphy all brought into the side.

    Ffs Sterling. Forgot how painful owning him can be

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Already planning my transfer out for next week. Need to stop with these 1 week punts, can never get them right.

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

        All chips should be removed 😉

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I ask this every season, but can I have my wildcard back please?

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

      Me too. But I have had Jesus this season, so...

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

    Should we FHitters laugh or cry?!?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on the players they have and took out

    2. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      The good thing is we won't have Sterling next week

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Lucky

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years

      Trying my best to laugh …. But it haaaaaaard!

  9. PartyTime

    Pukki starting to look like a trap

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They’re all traps at that price point tbf

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Has a good DGW36 at least. West Ham with 1 CB & Leicester focus elsewhere.

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'll be getting in for DGW36. Will be first time owning and likely not too joyous... :p

    Sterling usually needs a brace to get bonus just because of how many bps deductions he gets

  11. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Started Pope over Dubravka in GW33 when Burnley played Norwich at home, Dubravka got CS and Pope didn't.

    This GW I started Pope over Dubravka, who now plays against Norwich away and I just now it will be the same outcome.

  12. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Toon up to 9th

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

      A few horses getting a smack later

  13. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What a trap Pukki is. Heck! So mad I have him

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Brought him in this GW on a hit... Had no bench so had to take out one of my non playing strikers.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Newcastle are one of the most in form teams since January. Think you need to take that into account.

  14. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years

    Joelintoooooooonnnnn!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Brace, wow

  15. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    3 points from 4 played on WC. Going well.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      *2 points from 4

      1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        same

    2. Stimps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No WC here, 13 from 1 so far (-8)

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

    Joelinton and Jesus waa always the correct call!

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Are you the King of Hindsight?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Just joking...

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I'd be laughing if Sterling and the Man City defence weren't kicking me in stomach.

    2. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It was the J-Day

  17. Zimo

    Lol cancelo yc

  18. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 5 Years

    I think I've wasted my wildcard

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I’ve wasted a free hit!

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

        Glad it's only FH. Che players have still more than enough time to let us down.

    2. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Why u not wait till gw35 for WC

      1. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        As injury’s or maybe red cards

      2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        because gw34 made sense for my team, gw35 didn't
        In theory I should be smashing it, but I'm getting smashed

  19. C_G
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    hows Maddison looking?

  20. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Joelinton up to 4 goals.. level with Laca and Werner.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Showing their class.

      Mind, what are their collective transfer costs?

  21. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    ML rival brought in Joelinton on the FH this week. What sorcery is this?!

  22. HollywoodXI
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Today has been an FPL disaster. Bruno, Ronaldo, Elanga, Cancelo, Laporte and Ederson owner.

  23. teneighty
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm, double city d was only good in theory then.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Can't be taking more than one D even if it's the city tbh

    2. rjcv177
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Never understood this.
      Looking at goals conceded last10, or form of last5 home and away Liverpool os waaaaay better

      1. rjcv177
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Last 10
        Liverpool 25-3
        City 21-7

        Totals home
        Liverpool 43-7
        City 45-12

  24. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Is Sterling even playing?? Looking at the live ticker and he’s not been mentioned

    1. Bobby Digital

      Tap-in merchant

  25. moment
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Every time I own Sterling I say this is the last time I'll put myself through this

    1. rnrd
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He’s PL most over rated player for YEARS.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        No, he is the best left winger in the league bar Mane and possibly Diaz after next season. Not always Fpl is real life equivalent.

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Son says hi

          1. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Agreed.

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He’s so infuriating.

      But then again I’ve captained him when he got a hatrick

  26. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus

    Sterling having one of those halves.

    Tbf, other than fleetingly i didn't even consider Jesus as my attacking Manchester City play this week.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I didn't because it was a transfer out waiting to happen. Although for some reason I didn't apply that logic to Sterling.

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

      I admit that I thought about Jesus, but not long after remembering what owning him was like. But I also considered Laporte... Sterling was much more likely to score than Jesus by bookies. Correct call, bad outcome.

  27. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Brought in Cancelo for a -8 ffs

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He's no Tavares.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      😮 😮 😮

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    City selling the wrong player? 😆

  29. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling >> Son done. 😀

  30. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    All this GW needs is the Liverpool and Chelsea CS to be busted and will be a defensive fail for most.

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

      Finally no Liverpool defenders paying off

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

      Jesus, Joelinton & Dennis... 3 forwards needed again!
