Double Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Arsenal v Leeds United, Leicester City v Everton and Norwich City v West Ham United.

All three fixtures kick-off at 14:00 BST, with Manchester City v Newcastle United to follow later on.

The big FPL team news arrives at the King Power Stadium, where James Maddison is absent from the matchday squad.

Brendan Rodgers, meanwhile, freshens up his side following Thursday’s exit to Roma in the Europa Conference League semi-finals, with only five players – Kasper Schmeichel, Jonny Evans, Wesley Fofana, Youri Tielemans and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – retaining their places.

Everton name an unchanged XI following their 1-0 win over Chelsea in Gameweeek 35. That means Richarlison is fit to start despite suffering from some soreness in his ankle.

At the Emirates, Mikel Arteta makes just the one change, with Cedric Soares coming in at left-back in place of Nuno Tavares, who drops to the bench. That means Ben White misses out once again because of a tight hamstring.

For the visitors, Diego Llorente returns at centre-back in place of Pascal Struijk. That’s one of three changes, with Daniel James and Joe Gelhardt also in for the injured Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo.

Norwich’s only alteration sees Jacob Sorensen replace Mathias Normann.

As for West Ham, they have made two changes from their Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Lukasz Fabianski and Said Benrahma coming in for Alphonse Areola and Tomas Soucek.

    Raphinha is a disgrace, he's going to get himself sent off when his team is struggling and already down to 10 men.

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't call him a disgrace, but he needs to calm down for sure.

          Haha. He wildcarded last week. This week he sold Fofana for Holgate.

          I don't even get the logic for not having Holgate in the first place of you do that. (Do understand Leicester being terrible at set pieces however.)

    Kavanagh tried so hard to find a reason not to give a red. You gotta borderline assault our players before getting a card

    1. Deulofail

      Protect Nketiah at all costs!

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Was it a Gordon corner? Not watching the match.

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

        Gray took the corner I think. Holgate didn't header it directly.

  19. Casualspotted
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Come on Saka and Martinelli

  20. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Extremely happy Arsenal are winning but I've been so pissed about my fpl team lol. I don't even want to check to see how many points I have, compared to my mini league rival and for my overall rank.

  21. Random Name
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    "mudded" lol, recency bias is crazy. People think Nketiah is the next baggio right now. 3 good games and people have completely forgotten the absolute stinkers he dropped for 4 years straight

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      can’t U be happy for others

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Those fools, he's clearly new R9 Ronaldo

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He's 22 dude

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

      He's better than Baggio for a start.

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ofcourse you're jealous Lacazette. He took your place in the team 😉

    6. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He’s played well this season, even in his sub cameos before he became a permanent fixture

    7. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      New Michael Ricketts maybe.

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

      Let's talk about the stinkers Lacazette has been dropping for even more years 😉

    9. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He's 22 years old and didn't even get a proper chance at Arsenal so far with Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pepe and other older players around. Manager(s) decided to give chance Saka, Martinelli, Smith Rowe sooner. Odegaard came and is undroppable now. Eddie's time finally came now and I'm so happy for him.

      Nketiah is far away from world class striker but this doesn't change the fact, that he's doing all the right things on the pitch, scores goals, creates chances, presses opponents and forces them into making mistakes. He uplifted team morale and his performances meant a lot after recent losses. True fans will appreciate what he's done this season and it doesn't matter we're talking about start or end of the season.

      1. Random Name
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I don't deny any of what you said. When I was criticising Nketiah it was because he wasn't good enough. At the time I was right (for years). Now he's put in a couple good performances, ok fine we'll see where it goes from here but don't come at me for rightly criticising him at the time

        I've been giving him credit last couple weeks and i'll give him the credit today

    10. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      TBF, to be the team that Arsenal aspire to be, he's more of a back up striker than who they'd want as a first choice.

  22. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Rich assist! Noice

  23. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any chance greenwood comes on for last few minutes to bag 1pt?!

  24. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Xhaka looking for his customary yellow a little later than normal.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He's so easy to rile up my whole tactic as an opposition manager would be to get him sent off

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Leeds will finish with 8 men at this rate

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      And Nketiah 8 goals

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

        I'll take it

  26. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What happened to Stuart Dallas?

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

      Leg fell off

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Injured himself last week trying to injure grealish

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Femoral fracture, nasty injury. Ben Dinnery said the force required for such an injury is normally from something like a car crash

  27. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Even Arsenal can't concede in this game

    1. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I assume you have no Arsenal def

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Just Tavares

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

      Tavares CS points robbed. (Probs would have lost them with him but still.)

    3. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Please don’t tempt fate.

    4. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You were saying?

  28. Gordon Cole
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bought Mina this week, for Veltman, for a hit.

    FML.

  29. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Antonio starting his annual 4 goal haul at Norwich

  30. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Even Havertz might get some points next match!
