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.

          Haha

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

    The first thing I do when I start a new Arsenal career mode on Fifa is sell Nketiah and give Lacazette a new contract

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

      If you wait another season, you could sell Nketiah for 50m

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

        does he get into any other top 6 side?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Are you including Chelsea and United in the top six? Or West Ham?

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

          Chelsea need a finisher

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

    Mina punt in FH lasted a long time didn't it. Course rival has Nketiah. Me Saka.

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

    Ramsdale is asleep.

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

    I've totally forgot that I have Pukki. Thought to myself "this Nor v WH match is irrelevant for me". How wrong was I. Need a Pukki goal.

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

      Pukki and Krul for me. Just accepted I'm playing with 9 this week. Oh and Tavares and Mount. Better make it 7.

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

        Haha.. yeah this BB has turned into something very meh.

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

        And Alonso. We down to 6.

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

    KDH down injured

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Can't ever read that as anything other than Kevin de Huyne

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

        Took me a while to get to grips with it too

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

      He okay?

  7. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Non owners might as well call him Muddie Nketiah

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      (M) Nketiah

  8. Fish up a tree
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Utd in the conference league would be a bonus

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

      This is the problem!! No matter what they do they get a bonus. Money money money smh

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Give it 5 years they will be in the real conference

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

      For their prospective opponents?

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

      I’m neutral but personally feel they should get some sort of invite to Champions League based on heritage and history

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

        Lol

  9. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Gordon looks tired.

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

      Always does

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Say what you like but diving is exhausting

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Always looks like that bit like Chris Waddle

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

        Waddler never dived as much and had luscious enough locks to have 3 hairstyles at the same time.

    4. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yet always the best player on the pitch

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

      Early morning swimming lessons taking their toll.

  10. Jock Grealish
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    KDH struggling

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

    Can't wait for a Bellerin to come back

  12. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal players shook after the early tackles

  13. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    3 nil West Ham United

    1. _Ninja_

      Benny haul

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

      Bowen third assist.

  14. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Benrahma haul

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    OMG benrahma.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Is it gameweek 2 again

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

    Benny brace
    Bowen 2nd assist

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Early season settings

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

      3rd* he got the TBC.

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

      3rd assist

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bowen assist master.

      Think that's his third today.

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

        Overtaken Salah comfortably now.

    5. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Should have been on any free hit team

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

    Can definitely see Sonny snatching golden boot with Norwich still to go! Wonder if Kane would give him pens?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think he would but only if the difference is literally 1

    2. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I doubt it's his choice.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’d say Kane will almost certainly give him pens

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

      Unlike Palah, Son doesn’t need penalties to score goals

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

      He won't keep up scoring with almost every goalscoring opportunity he gets. It's simply unsustainable.

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

        I can't see Kane giving up penalties either.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I can - I think they shar e a good footballing relationship and he'd not be selfish enough to deny Son a chance of the GB.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Caveat: unless there was a Champions League position on the line.

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

        Haven't we been saying this for years?

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

        6/1 on him getting golden boot currently feels tempting though with Norwich still to play!

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

        I think after 6 years we can say it's sustainable

    6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Give pens? Are we talking about the same guy who swore on his kid that he scored a dubious goal.

    7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kane ain’t giving up pens

      Man is willing to swear on his own family it’s his goal even when he didn’t touch the ball so son ain’t getting pens

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I think he would but it would need to be like son is level on goals or 1 behind Salah otherwise no chance

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          It would be interesting if that situation occurred but i still think Kane steps up and takes it lol

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

    West Ham just love to play against Norwich don't they?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Everyone does

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

        Fair point.

  19. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I thought Broja to Pukki might be a slight upgrade, instead it turns out to be more money wasted on useless rubbish

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

      Lmao same here

    2. Keep calm and hoof me the b…
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I did the same. Trying to be clever. I'd planned all week to get Nketiah, but then realised I had cash for Pukki. It's just about possible I may have got that wrong...

  20. putana
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    nketiah owners rise up!!

    1. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like he is rising in price already actually

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

    How is kdh

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

      Not off yet but was struggling. Could see him being subbed.

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

    Anthony Gordon. What a diving merchant

  23. Mweene
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Holgate and Nketiah repaying the -12 nicely!

    1. Game of Throw_ins
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers mate, same here with -12. Richarlison & Foster too worked out nicely for me.

  24. fplgaruda
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bowen, the forgotten player

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

      Everyone fixated on doubles. 🙁

      1. fplgaruda
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Just afraid of rotation and fatigue after Europe competition, that's what put me off

  25. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Cant believe those Everton rats are going to escape relegation. Does my head in.

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

      If they win this, might even be safe.

      Will be hard for Bur/Lee to pick up points now. Leeds down on goal difference out of the two?

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

        I can’t see Leeds winning another match, all teams in form. Burnley might but nothing easy. May be the same points as now so yes, Burnley saved by goal difference. Got to credit Lampard for pulling Everton through (probably)

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Who hurt you?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Some rats

    3. Game of Throw_ins
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      DCL owner?

    4. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What you typed is actually quite rude.

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

        Rude? Lmao. Ok.

    5. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That is not nice

  26. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    At what minute will Ramsdale mess up the clean sheet?

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

      10th minute of the match on Thursday

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

      I think even Arsenal won’t lose the CS here against a 10 man Leeds. FPL may as well as the 4 points now.

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

    Really need Saka and Martinelli goals

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Saka captain?

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

        Nope but main rival doesnt own him

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

    Rival in the mud with Bowen on the bench

    FH as well. Could have downgraded his bench to get TAA over Castagne

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

      Anyone who benches a player against Norwich isn't much of a rival

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

        He's beating me by like 70+ points 😀

        Would you have got Bowen on a FH this week? I wouldn't

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

      Doesn't seem like much of a rival

  29. Royal5
