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.

    punted on a Villa midfielder, just not one named Luiz or Bailey do 🙁

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Should've gone for Luiz, man. He just scored a goal.

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why didn't you buy Luiz and Bailey? They scored and assisted.

  2. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hah, Gnonto delivers when he's needed.

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

  3. mad_beer ✅

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Should've started him, man. He assisted Luiz

      1. mad_beer ✅
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. Hopefully your time machine still works so you can go back and tell me.

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years

  4. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    It's fine, it's fine I own Dawson for his goal threat from set pieces anyway

  5. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I put some money on Villa and Brentford cleanies, bankers

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So Son was ok after all

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Anyway, back to the match at hand

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Has someone said he was injured?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        sure, people who dont own Son

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Just reports that he wasn’t pictured in training

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rich going to be signed for 60m as a striker then not score a single goal in the season

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Couldn’t happen to a more likeable footballer

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Element of chicken karma in there for sure

    2. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yet in real life a wonderful man with a great back story who gives a lot to charity and his favella

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FPL Mate - If Villa score you know its almost certainly Watkins.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  9. Ze_Austin

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  10. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years

  12. La Roja

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Son looks dangerous and lot of spaces available for him to cause damage here

  13. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Porro to row z

  14. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If Toney doesn't get a YC today, we then have to hope he doesn't get one in the 1st gw29 fixture lol

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ah well we’re all in the same boat.

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Tis you!

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Reply fail. Meant above re: other Leicester CB

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm shipping him to Haaland after this GW either way.

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You predict a haul vs Liverpool?

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

          I think he could do well at home against Liverpool's defence.

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

      I have a feeling we have seen it happening already once this season 🙁

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      fingers cross - I'm going to try not to panic & wait until after IB before deciding whatever happens today

  15. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Destined to be a very low scoring GW.

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This is why BGWs are not good FH weeks

  16. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not boring at all, lots of implications in the lower half of the table from these games.

  21. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This is the Ramsey and Luiz hauling week.

  22. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Awful schedule today, no early game, later matches overlapping with FA cup and F1

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rant over?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

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

      Stupid yc, holding shirt without any reason, looks frustrated already.

    2. Sap
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Congrats

    3. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Got him for a hit

      1. sulldaddy
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Same....ugh...

  25. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison you clown

  26. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That was silly from Maddison, didnt need to do that. Overall though Leicester been pretty decent so far.

  27. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison has been useless since WC26 and yet I’m considering (c) in DGW29

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldnt

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ditto - might think again!

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If I have Raya, Mee, Castagne, Maddison and Toney is 0-0 a good result?

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How can you even ask

  29. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth a TC on DGW or should I WC instead?

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This most of us will be bench boosting?

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, I regret not getting my WC in a few weeks ago. Used my FH this week. I may take a hit and BB instead

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Gotcha. I kind of went with building up my team last couple of weeks to have as many DGW players across both starting 11 and bench for BB next gw. It worked so well that last gameweek I had 22 points across my bench 🙁 (just know my luck will be worse for BB next gw)

    2. Dunster
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Difficult question. Bench boosters will have a max 32 players. If you can have 8-9 doublers out of 11 then that equates to 21-23 assuming you captain a doubler. If you TC then that becomes 23-25 so you are mitigating the risk against the BB people

  30. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How're Kane and Toney looking?

    I guess Ward might be out favour for the double? Rumours were true then
