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.

    Vardy time.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Audition for doubles

  2. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Imagine FHing with Cancelo Laporte Sterling Ronaldo Pukki...

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Imagine wildcarding with them

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Ugh.. what a waste

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          Has completely derailed my season in one fell swoop

  3. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Played Pukki & benched Justin good old RMT !

  4. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Mahrez will score at least one in 20 minutes and Sterling will get nothing

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      That’s because he’s a far better player

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Obviously, especially after I sold mahrez for Son in GW33.

      Pain inducing

  5. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Come on Pukki, get a goal at least!

    1. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Probably will score next week when he's benched.

  6. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    terrible gw

  7. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    What to do with martnelli ? Any decent up to 5.3 mid to replace?

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

      Fodder DGWer that fits your plan.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Yeh maybe to help get salah back

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Gordon with 2 doubles 36 and 37.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Yeh good shout

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Keeping for now

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Been horrible owning last few weeks

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          Indeed. Easy bench for me. Already got Gordon.. might actually bench both in dgw36 and play 5-3-2

  8. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Score a goal Norwich.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      This. ML rival started Dubravka

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Of course he did, it's Norwich.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          But, but Pukki is on fire

  9. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    You know those old highlight reels, when everyone's movement looks so stunted and awkward? That's what I get when I watch KDH play.

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Why Maddison?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Useless tackle

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      YC I see. Sign.

    3. NotReadyForPrimeTime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      My teams lately have done great at getting silly YCs. Better than at getting positive FPL points.

  11. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Phenomenal. KDH in for Foden while Cash is second on bench.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Martinelli in for Schar, Weghorst second on bench here.

      I'm screwed

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Well, maybe KDH will get a goal in the next fifteen minutes. Would put that point entirely moot.

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

    Maddison YC

  13. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Amartey party starting anytime soon?

  14. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Rodri off.
    KDB (c) + 2 BPS * 2 = + 4pts nailed.

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      My brain hurts

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        and disturbed

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Us common folks call it 9 points

  15. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Selling Maddison, the only good decision so far this GW

  16. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Playing FH this week has killed my ML season. Unreal.

    Never used a chip so badly

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Kind of depends what Chelsea do, though?

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Possibly - but I’ve 4 players played already and I’m on less points than Saka.

  17. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Lol @ RCB

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Its the anniversary of their 49 all out vs. KKR I'm told.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Omens. Sad to see the decline of Kohli

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          I hope the Indian selectors have the courage to drop him from the World cup squad.

          1. TKC07
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 days ago

            I'm sure selectors would drop Kohli from their Fanatsy teams, if thats what you're talking about.

          2. FredUpAlready
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 5 days ago

            Yeah along with Rohit, but there are a few bilateral t20 series coming up so let's hope both of them do well.

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 5 days ago

              India produces so much talent that its a shame when some players become too big to drop.

              All that talent wasted.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      68 and 49 both on 23rd April(4th month).

      68-23+4 = 49.

      Illuminati confirmed.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        =41

        1. The Philosopher
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 days ago

          Read it again

          1. Sandy Ravage
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 4 days ago

            BODMAS

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

              Addition does not have priority over subtraction in BODMAS.. they are both even so done left to right.

              1. Sandy Ravage
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 4 days ago

                I stand corrected. Thanks for the education

  18. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    To the guy who mention Jesus yesterday over Werner. Big thank you! I relooked and put him in over Werner. Need this from crap show of Fernandez today.

    1. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      But did you cap him?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 days ago

        No

  19. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    I will never forget this betrayal by Sterling. 5 goals, no involvement and missed a sitter.

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

      He’s doing exactly what havertz did to me the week of salah hat trick vs United

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        I was considering Havertz and Jesus all week but settled for Sterling and Werner because I didn't think Jesus is a medium term prospect.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      My condolences.

      Players like Sterling Mahrez and JWP are only good for drafts.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Sterling missing a sitter is hardly anything new?

    4. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Nothing compared to havertz gate

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        I had Mount that day 🙂

    5. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Is sterling even on the pitch?

  20. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Krul 3 saves. Gerrin.

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Used my BB and Wood doesn’t play in a 3-0 win

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

      That's why it's 3-0 😉

      1. noissimbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 days ago

        Great management from Howe there. The personnel coming in delivers.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Just Wood? I have Schar too 🙂

  22. TKC07
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Any idea whats the higest BPS ever recorded?

  23. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Wood or schar going to come on?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Only one if any but would be surprised if either did

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Hopefully Schar and he scores. Or else I'm getting Martinelli off the bench

  24. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Do it for the himbos Madderz

  25. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Feel sorry for Sterling owners who are going to see the result before knowing the scorers.

  26. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Painful 3-0 as a Schar and Wood starter.

  27. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Pukki just 1 goal please

  28. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Any idea how to change bad luck?
    Literally I feel destined to fail this season. Every move, every hit, every chip. Just wow. Usually it was one good week, one bad week etc, had some finishes inside top 10/5k but this season is just crazy…

  29. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 days ago

    Wow Just seen the city score , just got cancello so hoping for some mega points … oh wait !

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 days ago

      Cancelo and Foden here. I feel ya.

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

    Dennis is back on the menu!

    Lively with set pieces...
