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.

      a 0 and a 1 then you'll just need 35 from 5.

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years

      wow

  2. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years

    Wish I hadn't logged on, seeing all these massive scores just making me feel a whole lot worse

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

        Still compare myself to that big red arrow 🙁

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

          Which, in itself is comparing to others 🙂

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

            Then comparing yourself to others (rank) is the whole point of this game 🙁

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

              Play like a casual

                • 9 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Outcome is literally out of your control

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

      It is quite unbelievable how high the scores are, just can’t understand it at all

      1. gart888
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Chilwell just got into double digits out of nothing. Watkins and Mitoma both highly owned and on big hauls. I can see it all adding up.

    4. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What score you on

  3. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's a fantasy football site...let people show off their scores

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hate show offs whats your HOF rank if you want to large it up

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

        Usually the people ranked 1 mill + who does it

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I was ranked 1M+ before this GW 😀

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

        It's you people who don't like complainers, goes both ways

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

      I felt like that once, until I had a decent GW.
      Of all the things that go on here, people crowing about scoring a lot of points on a forum dedicated to a game where the aim is to score a lot of points is fairly tame to get riled over.

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Im on 109 with 8 to play plus captain. Got nothing to do with good or bad week I just dont like to gloat in case it upsets those that are feeling mentally down about their week

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

        He is now again, but Chilwell was level again for a moment.

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

      OK back to 2 and highly doubt he'll get any more!

    1. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Drumandbaines123

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        9. The two non doublers were Odegaard and Saka. Currently on 115 points with 5 more players to play. I'm in shock

  11. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku goal

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

      Points!

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

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

      Once capped Lukaku when he was at Everton, where he scored 4 goals. One of my favourite FPL moments of all time.

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

        That the game where Barkley celebrated before he even scored

    4. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Aaaanf Lukaku red

  12. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I've had a rough season, so bear with me, but things have been looking up lately.

    I finally hit 100 pts. this week, 6 players, including C Rash left...Bench Boost complete at 26 pts., which is about 10 above where I normally land with my BBs. Hoping to break into the top 500 K (blech!)

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

      Hopefully you do it!

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

    Alisson on WC?

  14. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Question:

    How can my BB be still active, even though I never cancelled it?

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sorry I meant, how is my BB still usable on GW30 even though I activated it on GW29, made my transfers, saved my team and never cancelled it?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        maybe like above you messed up?

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    That’s it saka c

    Liverpool are trash

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

      Let's go!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm actually tempted to do it, yeah.

      If Haaland is out he's pretty high on my list of captaincy picks.

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chilly back in 3 bonus! FT!

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

      Wtf, what's Fofana been doing in the last 5 mins

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

        Maybe close to a passing threshold? Idk.

  17. Towsor44
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    108 with 7 to go inc Captain and gutted I got Maddison in!

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

      Good score over the 100 should be a green arrow

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

      Good score mate! im on 101 with 6 Rashford Captain, who you thinking of swapping Maddison for, Grealish or Bruno maybe?

  18. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How the f did Chillwell climb up to 3 bonus?

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

      He didn't.

      1. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He did.

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

          Everyone else dropped down

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

      Fofana was on 37 a few mins ago and Chill had gone off with 33

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

      Fofana somehow lost about 7 bps in the last 5 min or so.

  19. Admiral Benson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    31 points on BB. Red arrow.
    No Watkins or Chilwell.
    Hate this game sometimes.

  20. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Steele mitoma Jensen and estupian mean a BB of 35. That's a result considering how cheap those 4 are

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That's a ludicrous claim. No way you'd have legitimately benched Mitoma this week

      1. Shultan
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. gart888
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, people are generally horrible at properly assessing their bench boosts.

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

      I highly doubt you would've benched estu & mitoma if you didn't have BB

    3. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nunez has to go, once Dian back as well minutes will be a lottery.

      Yeah. I only watched the 2nd half, but he looked invisible in what I saw.

  28. Alan The Llama

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cheering Solly March in FPL is like cheering the little pig who made his house out of straw.

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

      I genuinely lol’d

    2. Ranger3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He was so good, all his passes were on point, unlucky the others missed, should have get some pts.. Frustrating again

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

    The amount of people taking hits for leicester players, taking out arsenal assets, was insane.

    That being said Iverson bs Steele was a 50:50 call… so happy went with the man of steel!

  30. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth giving Maddison one more game vs Bou?

    1. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      I would

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Yes.

    3. TheBiffas
