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.

    All the idiot had to do was keep his arm away from his body and it would have been chested in. But its Havertz

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

      Or score from one on one.

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

        Can't expect that from someone like him. Needs a dodgy pen to score.

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

    Ffs Steele yc will cost a lot of points.

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

    Salah / Darwin golazos needed

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

    Shocking decision to disallow that. I jokingly said handball as it went in…

    That was the literal definition of hall to hand. It ricocheted off him, he was never avoiding it and there was no intent.

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

      Ball to hand*

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

        Not the rule

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

      U can't score with your arm tho

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

      Read the rules mate.

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

        Never ceases to amaze me how people play this game without knowing the basic rules of FPL or real life football

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

          They change the laws and interpretations out of it too often… and just lack clear logic when doing so.

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

      it's the rules, it's just not allowed to score with any part of the arm or hand. It doesn't even matter if it ricocheted off the player

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

        They’ve royally messed up this handball law then.

        Same can be said for the changes in the offside law in recent years.

        You’d swear this lot just don’t understand the game.

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

          Look in the mirror lol

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

    Jeez chillwell then James now havertz disallowed goals. Not my gameweek !!

  6. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

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

      Maybe, they've been okay

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

    Steeles yellow has cost me from 100 to 99.it would have been my first ton of the season!

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

    2. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good chance you don't have to worry about that yc deduction.. Bou could possibly score..

  9. djman102
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Red card KDH

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

      Lovely stuff. Time for a brace Watkins.

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

        Hopefully a red

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

    KDH red

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

      Who?

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

        Kevin de Huyne

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

    So that’s it for Maddison and Castagne then

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

    Maddison blank confirmed with that KDH red. What a damp squib of a punt that was

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

    KDH is about our most important player this season - dreadful for tonight & Bournemouth.

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

    Maddison has been a terrible pick

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

      But you know you're keeping for the Bournemouth game, right?

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

      Agree

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

      Did you say ‘pick’?

    4. djman102
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed. GW 26 took out Gakpo for Cack-poo.

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

      I actually brought him in a couple of GW’s ago for this DGW. One assist. Hoped he’d be a differential for me but hasn’t played out.

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

    McAllister down again

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

      Who injured him? Harry? Marv?

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

        The old man? The spider?

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

    Welbz coming on

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

    changed from Martinelli to Madders one minute before deadline for another -4
    classy move

  18. squ1rrel
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Salah coming on? Never in a million years did I think he'd be benched

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

      Klopp, lost the plot

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

        he's done everything right so far

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's fasting

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fast ended around 8pm

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

    McAllister and IrishHaaland subbed off

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

    Think that’s Mac game over

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

      Cs banked.

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

        Would’ve liked a return to go with it.

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

    Just seen Liverpool team news, which game is Klopp resting players for?

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

      disciplinary reasons clearly

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

        Salah scored at weekend

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

          And it was City away

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

            yea but he played super awful

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

              Fair, I didn’t watch it

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

    Oh MacAllister off? Fantastic.

    Terrible bloody differential pick, Mitoma killing me

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

      9 points

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

        This...

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

        Much less than Mitoma

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

          4 less isn't much.

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

      How’s 9 pts is terrible?

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

        Meaning compared to Mitoma, who ML rivals own (and I don’t have a super viable route to getting)

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

          There is only 4 pts difference between them though

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

      Got jammy pen goal and cs banked. Not much difference to Mitoma really. I would be happy with score compared to underlying metrics.

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

    Mac9.

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

    But seriously, where are the goals (that don’t take my clean sheets)! =]

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

    Hope this Brighton game stays the same unless we can get an Estu goal or a Mitoma RC

    1. FPL Bond @ Twitter
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same here. Mitoma non owner here..

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

    Kepa save point

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

      Knew it

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

    Kepa 3rd save

  28. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anthony Taylor still being a clown lmao, not booking Konate for a rugby tackle

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

    Robbo and Salah coming on

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

      Classic that Chelsea don't take advantage when the best players are benched.

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

    Klopp heard me - Salah coming on

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

      Uncle advice always works
