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.

    45 minutes for captain maddison to salvage something.....

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He’s not my captain but frankly I’m starting to lose patience with him. Thinking of a swap to Grealish.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking about buying actually

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The manager situation is possibly key to whether it’s worth keeping him or not.

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          keep one more week and selling.

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My (c) too, so disappointing

  2. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Havertz getting booed or what?

    1. Indpush
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm beginning to boo.

  3. Effe
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mac Allister will maybe be ok to continue after half time

  4. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I was 2 seconds late to change c from rashford to mitoma. Season defining

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Aye, let's hope Rashford gets something to take the sting out a little.

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford has another game, Mitoma another half. They might end up on the same points.

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

      Same but to Aguerd 🙁

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

      G+A for Rashford tomorrow and he likely outscores Mitoma

  5. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need some Salah time soon, he comes on at 60 right?

  6. Snake Juice
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Already want to get Martinelli back for March tbh

  7. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Tis truly looks and feels like a midtable match too...

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

      Chelsea at least look good in 2/3rds of the pitch, the team in red however...

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

    Wow the league is topsy turvy; 20 mins ago, Forest were 2 places behind Chelsea, now Leeds are

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

    Last week VC was saka (Toney c)
    This week VC mitoma (Rash C)

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

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

        Yes I want also to know

    2. Old Bull
      • 12 Years

    4. Shultan

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

    I've only been watching 15-20 mins of this match and I've already seen so many awful balls to Chilwell's good runs miss him by huge distances

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

      Last two weeks Chilwell has missed out on so many points!

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

    Mitoma absolutely mauling my EO

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

      OR

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

      Same...

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

      Yep

  12. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So far so good with just asking for:
    Watkins goal
    Mitoma 2 returns
    Chelsea cs
    100 points

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

      I'm not confident of Chelsea keeping this cs tbh

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I can’t see Liverpool scoring unless Mo comes on. Apart from a Gomez shot and Fabinho shot they’ve offered very little. As a Nunez owner I think I’d prefer my Chelsea double clean sheet and maybe a chilli or James assist

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

      Oh god I'm on 62

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I need the 30 points from Mitoma goal and Chelsea clean sheets to even get close to 100 haha

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Counting CSs at half time, what could possibly go wrong.

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

        🙂

    4. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Harrison goal pushed me to 101 as of now. Awesome half

    5. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, I’m on 102 points and wanting a Chelsea and Brighton clean sheet as well

  13. lespaul
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chelsea have missed kante, he's everywhere

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      World class player when fit.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        X2 for effort

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Thank you.

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

      In fairness James is actually playing well at wing back and offering them something down the right wing. Can’t understand why potter played him centre back

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They've two top class wing-baks - why don't Chelsea play them there permanently and forget it. Buy a real top class striker and perhaps a proper Rudiger replacement and they'd be sorted.

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly!

  14. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Joao Felix really flatters to deceive...

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

      Very wasteful.

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah he really looks the part when he's on the ball but no end product.

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

    V/c mitoma
    Last week v/c saka
    Will let you all know v/c for this week later on !

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

      VC Saka last week but captained Mitoma this gw

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

      Haha exactly the same for me! 😀

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

    Robbo should be on at HT at least, maybe Salah too.

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah maybe but I doubt Robbo.

  17. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Jota is terrible. Not scored for a year

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

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

      Aw I see one SOT was blocked nvm

  20. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’m sure in the past I’ve read that there’s a figure which is the benchmark as to whether a BB can be deemed a success. Is that right or was it fake news?

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

      Nothing scientific but people see around 15 points as a good base.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Currently on 16 with Raya to go so going to declare myself a genius.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My BB had 4 points when I started tonight. Is that a success?

    3. Bennyboy1907
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mines 26 with botman and Raya to go

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

      Someone told me that BB is an guaranteed green arrow. Obviously nobody told Ollie Watkins who is absolutely killing me

  21. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Mac back out for the 2nd half?

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

      yes

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good stuff. Captained over Rash so hopefully gets a return this half.

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

          Bournemouth pushing for a equalizer so Brighton will get plenty of chances on the counter

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  22. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine Chelsea with Kane up front with all these chances?

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

      Or Evan Ferguson 😀

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

      Spurs with Havertz would be relagated

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

      Go down the park on Sunday league and you would probably find a striker better to be fair

  23. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Havertz went to hit a volley and it hit him on the nose and went out for a goal kick lol

    1. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Havenotertz

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

    Mac Allister out for the 2nd half or was he put down at the break?

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

      He’s still going

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

      Euthanised

  25. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Steele great save

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

    Steele save point!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No more attacking returns yet?

  27. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Has anybody been missing Salah so far?

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

      In what sense?

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        simply in terms of his importance to this Liverpool team. Imo he just doesn't add anything to the team than individual class.

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

          I’m selling him Pronto put it that way

    2. Effe
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I haven’t

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
