Four more Double Gameweek 29 matches take place on Tuesday, with Chelsea v Liverpool following the three 19:45 BST kick-offs.

The big Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team news arrives at Stamford Bridge, where Jurgen Klopp has made a host of changes to his starting XI. Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson are the highest-profile casualties and are all on the bench, while Virgil van Dijk misses out on the squad through illness. The front three consists of Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino.

In their first match since the sacking of Graham Potter, Chelsea make just two alterations, with Wesley Fofana and N’Golo Kante preferred to Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mykhailo Mudryk. Raheem Sterling is back among the substitutes following injury.

Pervis Estupinan, Alexis Mac Allister and Kaoru Mitoma all start for Brighton, as Roberto De Zerbi opts to make just two changes to his starting XI. Evan Ferguson is fit again and returns up front in place of Danny Welbeck, while Adam Webster comes in for Levi Colwill at the back.

Their opponents Bournemouth also make two alterations, as Gary O’Neil brings in Hamad Traore and Ryan Christie at the expense of Joe Rothwell and Jaidon Anthony, both of whom drop to the bench.

At the King Power Stadium, Nampalys Mendy and Jamie Vardy both start, replacing Tete and Patson Daka. That means Kelechi Iheanacho is on the bench again and sits alongside goalkeeper Danny Ward.

Unai Emery, meanwhile, makes just one change: Leon Bailey in for Boubacar Kamara, who came off at half-time on Saturday and is absent from the matchday squad.

In Yorkshire, Patrick Bamford is back for Leeds United, replacing Crysensio Summerville. The other change sees Weston McKennie come into midfield in place of Rasmus Kristensen. He’s named on the bench, as well as Wilfried Gnonto and Rodrigo.

As for Steve Cooper and Nott’m Forest, they are unchanged.

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

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

  8. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years

  13. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was really hoping keeping Darwin would pay off… but can I justify holding til DGW34, when the likes of Watkins, Isak, etc are all firing for much cheaper?

  14. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Enciso and Fofana get yellows please

        3 years, 2 months ago

        75 here with 3 disallowed goals to really make my week! 6 left to play and rashford captain which I’m not expecting much from. In other words it’s a terrible week dropping 80l with a bench boost!

    5. Free Hat

    5. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      102 with 7 to go.

      sort of pleased with that from a BB that included Haaland and Saka!

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Sweet!

    10. WATERMELONS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So many big scores means that none of us get much of a green arrow if one at all.

  28. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Grealish or mahrez for coming one?

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes thinking Grealish for Maddison, depending if Haaland is back

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

      Greals

  29. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chelsea really need to find where Timo Werner buried his boots, at each end of the pitch, and dig those the hell up!

  30. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Maddison even worth keeping at this rate? Leicester look terrible

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

      I wouldn’t say so. If anything and by the sounds of it Bournemouth did alright just couldn’t tuck the ball away.

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      Starting to wonder myself. Still he'll be needed for GW32 so I'll have to keep

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good point

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

      He’s certainly not a priority to get rid of with his fixtures

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        May be right

    5. WATERMELONS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hold but not buy
