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.

      1. footballcandy
        • 9 Years

  2. Royal5
    • 14 Years

  5. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years

    So points for hardly anyone so far...

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Plenty of points for Porro, Luiz, Jensen and Harrison owners though.

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

        Aye well done to those breaking the mold, well played.

  6. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Was Harry Kane involved in the celebrations?

  7. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Son over Kane working (for now anyway).

  8. The92nd
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    GET IN, brought Porro and Son in on FH. Only thing going right so far.

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

      Well done

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Mine too

    5. Shultan
      • 9 Years

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

    Not a good gw to take a hit

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Yes, mine was Gnonto to Watkins..

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

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

      -8 for me. Almiron one of them. S-h-o-o-o-o-t m-e-e-e-e

  10. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Why does Rodgers not play Leicester’s most dangerous looking attacker in Iheanacho?

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

      He wants to get sacked ASAP?!?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        is he after the Palace job?

  11. Scalper
    • 9 Years

    G - player I don’t own

    A - player I don’t own

    1. The Philosopher

      S - players I own

      = GAS

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      This is the way

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Ha jinx!

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      This is the way

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        🙂

    4. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

      YC - player I own

  12. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Vintage 45 of fpl

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

    Is that Jensen goal going to stand?

    He's on my bench and unlikely to feature but it looked like a double deflection from one angle.

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

      Lools like an OG to me. Think the shot might have been off target

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        yeah

        But Opta still have it

        might be one for the dubious goals panel...

        But within an hour after Chelsea finish?

  14. Tripleh123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Which option is better for next week?

    A. Ings & Maddison
    B. Watkins +Bowen

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

      I would avoid maddison and bowen

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Don't go anywhere near Maddison

      1. Tripleh123
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Why not? Maddison fixtures look good and he is Leicester's most creative player ?

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          I thought so too 3 games ago when I got him

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

          Have you seen how Leicester is playing?

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

          Being the most creative player for a team with terrible finishing is not much use

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

          Creative in the likes of whole season or recently (like this match)? Cause this match he's only creating himself a red card sooner or later

          Barnes looks better atm

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    Where March points for Leeds goal?

  21. rivo4england
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Planning to free hit in GW29. Am I right in thinking if I activate the chip now, price changes won't affect me, or can I just 'play the market' and earn money over the international break?

    Sorry if it's been asked a million times.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Won't effect

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Can't earn money with FH transfers as tram reverts back

      1. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Team

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

      Your team reverts to how it was at the start of the gameweek.

      You will not earn any price rises for players you bring in. You will earn price rises for anyone in your normal squad. You can benefit from rises during the week to improve your squad, but you won't bank it for future weeks

      1. rivo4england
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers everyone, appreciated!

  22. Red Star Toro

    Brentford CS will murder me

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Same here

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Don't worry. Ain't seen anybody get murdered by a CS.

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        There was this guy I heard of, strangled by a brand new bed sheet.

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Same, really need Maddison to step up and bust it

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Maddison an over rated average midfielder. He is scoring zero points today. He is a mugs pick.

        1. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 4 days ago

          Fail

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

      I forgot that I didn't sell Mee...

  23. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Is Kane having one of those games or does he look like scoring?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Invisible

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Bo*****s should've Capped Saka

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      He’ll get that standard pen

  24. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Triple Brentford but still don't own TBC

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Almost got him in when I waa considering Mbuemo. His attacking numbers looked better. Settled for Henry.

  25. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    So called "experts" suggested Kane as a captain, how is he looking? his heat map resembles prime Gennaro Gattuso.

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      So called "prats" with usual posts

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

      Asking for it with this comment!

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Isolated. Wingbacks stealing the show.

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

      You can’t really blame experts for that prediction, he’s been prolific this season, if he doesn’t score this gw then that’s just the way it goes

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

      Haha pleased to hear it. I think the heat map thing is almost inevitable when its Kane/Son/Rich & no Bentancur behind

    6. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Wait until the pen is given

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

      Branding someone an expert for choosing good striker playing against poor team as a captain choice....

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

      Porro captain?

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Was the obvious pick this GW

  26. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Swapped armband from Saka to Kane.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      From Chillwell to Kane. Though it's all good as Kane is invisible in the game so I'll get Chillwell's points.

      1. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Always go with your gut. Always.in fact once your team is set for the week, don't log back on until GW begins

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Lemina G offside

  28. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Lol Spurs

  29. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Southampton equaliser

  30. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Chilwell could be a good captain shout this week
    Bookies odds imply a 56% chance of Chelsea CS
    So that's 4.2 expected points for a Chelsea defender with Chilwell looking attacking too and being good on bonus
