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. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Agree, community here should be more involved

  19. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Had Mitoma C but somehow went to Rashford when I pressed BB...never looked at that

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

      Mitoma my vc!

  20. DropkickMurphys
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez wagging a finger to Maddison trying a sneaky free kick is what football should be about lol

  21. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wanted to get Harrison and give him the armband. I didn't.
    Wanted to captain Watkins. I didn't.
    So I got March and captained him... Missing every chance to get into top 10k.

  22. FPL Scoop

    Ffs… owning MacAllister over Mitoma is horrible, but is it actually worth the swap?

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

      Yes if Ferguson keeps playing and you think Brighton penalties dry up... Mitoma just involved in everything

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

      both worth it tbf

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

    Yes beautiful Watkins and Mitoma assist

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

      Sorry late because I'm at work

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

        is that what you told your boss?

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

    Mitoma 102% EO for me.

    Wish I didn’t discover this concept so I can just enjoy the points lol

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

      Yup. Love having a player hauling and hurting at the same time. Would prefer not to know

  25. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which Brighton player lofted that gorgeous ball over the top for Estupinan?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dunk probably

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

      Filthy

  26. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wow, awful evening so far.

    Salah (c) benched
    Kept Haaland rather than getting in Watkins
    Went with March and Mac and not Mitoma

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      At least he got a goal and hopefully he will come off bench today as well could be good against tired legs

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

    Yes Ferguson you beauty. Am leading the goalscorer challenge game and he was my pick tonight. Up to 26 goals for the season now.

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

      Well done Greg.

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

    Looking for that Chilwell goal now

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins' EO seems very low at 58%!

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

      Huge differential!
