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.

    The day of irrelevant goal scorers. zzzz

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Brentford much better than Leicester

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      What else is new?

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Lei aren't playing for their manager. They simply don't care. Surely they can't be that bad.

    3. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Much better. Leic are so easy to turn over. Haven’t replaced kasper and no spine in the team. I WCd in Maddison but plan was to do Madds..Mac If madds/lei don’t pass the eye test today. So far, they are failing.

  5. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    I’ve only just clocked that Ward has been dropped

    Is he second choice now or just injured?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Just not very good at goalkeeping I’m afraid

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Can’t get much worse so might as well experiment

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      second choice -

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      We don’t know. Neighter Ward or Sanchez are declared «dropped» unless members on here. Bot could play next week as the gks playing this week

  6. thegame983
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Assist - TBC

  7. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Son looking dangerous

  8. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    hoping for leicester goal
    doesn't matter who gets it, but it looks like 2-0 is more likely

    1. NJ MetroStars
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      im with you

  9. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Where’s my Kane C hat trick?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      two or a hattrick would be nice

  10. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Maddison, you fecking troll...

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Toney should get his YC soon

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Pray not

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      We are the fools for signing him. Lei are a shambles.

  11. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Leicester look awful. Rico Henry having a field day with all the space he's being allowed.

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Yep hoping for a return

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Hopefully still awful 2 weeks today as well.

    3. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Couldn’t agree more. Sorry I didn’t sign Henry now. Even more sorry I signed Maddison.

  12. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Wasnt it Toneys assist?

    1. NJ MetroStars
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      it will be

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

        Agree

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      If it is, he was offside

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Why? Mbeumo A with different rules I think.

    4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Nope

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Saka cappers the real winners this gw

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

      Still time

  14. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Fellow Maddison owners, is he worthy of ditching for another doubler in 29?

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      I got him on a free hit and I'd still take a hit to remove him from my team right now.

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Would be a bit silly imo

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        I'm going into 29 with a good squad and 2 FT. I can possibly shift for free, if the IB is kind

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          But we're 45 minutes into the fixture that none of us bought him for.

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 days ago

            Playing a, what I consider was returnable, fixture in 28 was definitely a factor in his selection for me

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

      Looks a bit poop doesn’t he?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Only "a bit"?!?

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

      I was about to post something similar, who would you move to?

      I'm tempted to just HOLD

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Mac Allister. In a much better/more attacking team.

    5. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Oh FH, yeah

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        On*

    6. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      He that bad?

    7. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      No, he’s due

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah, right after I take him out....

    8. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      If he plays like this, he is. Perhaps she is having periods or something 🙁

    9. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      My plan was to get him in WC, review the game live today, and if he doesn’t pass the eye test, sign Mac to replace him and bank 2.5m. That’s what I’ll be doing. Lei look a shambles TBH.

    10. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      I've been preaching patience since he has been playing well, with no obvious sign of an injury hindering him, and in a (theoretically) perfect role to maximise his GI. And I really their DGW fixtures. I think I'll keep for now, but I guess it depends who you would sell for

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah, must admit it's a somewhat kneejerk question off an apparent poor 45. Second half goals and I'll be laughing. Haven't really looked at alternatives but if I make it through the IB without injuries, it'll be on my shortlist of moves the way this game is going

      2. DLLM
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Sell for fernandes or macallister/march?

    11. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Lei had 0 shot on target in that half. From a team that’s meant to be better and play with more freedom away from home? I won’t be holding Maddison. He looks more likely to actually pick up a 2nd yellow as his frustration is starting to show.

    12. DLLM
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      I wanna get rid of them but then ward would be the priority since im gonna use benchboost. Oh well.

  15. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    How’s my 0.1% owned Ouattara looking? Bournemouth still shocking I guess yeah?

  16. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Another yellow card for Maddison would be nice so he misses our next home game (that I managed to get a ticket for)

  17. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Rival owned Jensen last week.

    But kept him on his free hit…. FFS

  18. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Does stoppage time count for clean sheets?

    Can perisic get clean sheet pts?

    Subbed on 37mins. Likely to be at least 5mins added time this half so would just need 2-3mins added in 2nd half to have the full 60mins.

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Lol

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      No, don't think so

    3. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      No

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      No it doesnt count

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

      Haha nice try

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Nope, stoppage time doesn’t count I’m afraid

  19. The Senate
