Four more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm GMT today, including Brentford v Leicester City and Southampton v Tottenham Hotspur.

At the Brentford Community Stadium, Danny Ward and Kelechi Iheanacho drop to the bench as £3.8m Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeeper Daniel Iversen gets the nod between the sticks.

Despite not being seen in training ground images on Wednesday, Son Heung-min starts for Spurs today.

The Lilywhites are unchanged from Gameweek 27 but Southampton have made three changes to the side that were beaten 2-0 by Brentford in midweek.

Ibrahima Diallo, Carlos Alcaraz and Kamaldeen Sulemana are benched as Stuart Armstrong, Theo Walcott and Romeo Lavia are handed recalls.

Wout Faes and Nampalys Mendy join Iheanacho and Ward in dropping out of the Leicester XI, with Faes suspended.

Harvey Barnes, Tete and Wilfred Ndidi come into the line-up, alongside Iversen.

As for the Bees, Mikkel Damsgaard and Yonna Wissa replace Kevin Schade and Vitaly Janelt.

Aston Villa and Bournemouth are both unchanged from their respective Gameweek 27 teams.

It’s two alterations apiece at Molineux.

Pedro Neto and Joao Gomes come in for Adama Traore and Joao Moutinho for the hosts, while Leeds head coach Javi Gracia brings back Wilfried Gnonto and Weston McKennie at the expense of the injured Tyler Adams and the benched Crysencio Summerville.

    Kane(c) fail

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Not a fail, but very mid

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      I’ll take it. Could have been more but Toney and Trippier blanked.

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Nah. Plenty backed Toney

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      I'm happy with it.

      Could have been worse.

  3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years

      Captainers starting to smile

  4. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    How many baps for Kane?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      none

    2. Hairy Potter

      3 years, 20 days ago

      zero

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years

      Zip

  5. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Who's keeping Toney next week?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Yeah

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Not sure yet. Would have preferred the Man Utd game to come first as Brighton feels like a blank. Have to deal with Iheanacho, but will consider doing Toney - Haaland a week earlier than planned too

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Me

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Got 2vFT so will probably do Toney to Isaak and bomb out Tarkowski with the change that's left.

  6. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Absolute scenes celebrating my Summerville assist!

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • 7 Years
        3 years, 20 days ago

        hardly but glad he didn't get me a zero lets put it that way

    3. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      I regret not doing that now. I only have Kepa and Chil, but Almiron injury forced me into getting Maddsion.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 20 days ago

  8. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    No YC for Toney, but I'm still probably doing Toney to Haaland as my FT. Will see what the international break brings.

  9. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Right chilly boy (c), your time to shine

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Good luck

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      Better believe!

  10. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Do you think that Ward will start in the dgw?Good performance from Iversen?

    1. Drosiah
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      I think they will play Iverson, he barely had to do anything so you can’t really say good performance

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 20 days ago

        cheers

  11. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Havertz, Chilly and Saka Cappers must be licking their lips. All for the taking

  12. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Assuming Ward is dropped for GW29, who should I replace him with (have Raya & double Toon def)? Original plan was Ødegaard, Gabriel > BrunoF, Shaw. Will take -4 now, for BB.

    a) Kepa (Bruno, Shaw)
    b) De Gea (Bruno, Chilwell)
    c) Iverson (Bruno, Shaw/Chilwell)
    D) Pope (Bruno, Shaw/Chilwell)

    1. DLLM
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      I have kepa so im gonna replace ward with degea

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 20 days ago

        I'll take you owning Kepa already as your answer, lol. Think I'm going back to Kepa. He did well for me before. Thought I was being clever getting Ward in to (pointlessly, in hindsight) save money on my WC

  13. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Oh...biscuits

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Felix, James and Kepa over to you now, with Saka , Odergaard and Gabriel tomorrow. Mings on bench 🙁

    Halved my rank in a game week which was not looking good at half time.
    From 48K to 21K overall. Very happy with that. 43pts with Saka and Martinelli to come.
    No hits taken so far. I set myself that challenge and it is paying dividends.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 20 days ago

      No Chelsea?

      1. AARON-1

        No.

  23. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Tricky situation.What's the best plan here?FH or Gnonto+Odegaard->Rashford+Ings(-4) and BB?

    Kepa/Ward*
    James/Chilwell/TAA/Dunk/Trippier
    Saka/Odegaard/Mitoma/Allan Saint-Maximin*/Maddison
    Gnonto/Toney/Watkins

    • 12 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Bench one?

    A) Trippier

    C) Shaw

  26. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 20 days ago

    Choice between kane, saka & toney captain
    Of course I pick the blanker!

  27. Dynamic Duos
