Sunday’s Premier League action begins at Elland Road, where Leeds United play host to Crystal Palace in a vital relegation clash.

The Whites earnt a priceless win against Nottingham Forest in midweek and sit 16th in the table, while Roy Hodgson’s second stint in the Palace dugout began with a convincing 2-1 victory over Leicester City, leaving them in 14th.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

The hosts name an unchanged starting XI as Patrick Bamford continues in attack, flanked by Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra, who were both excellent last time out.

That means Rodrigo, Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto are all named among the substitutes again.

As for Palace, they make two changes, both forced by injury. Backup ‘keeper Sam Johnstone comes in for Vicente Guaita (calf), while Jordan Ayew replaces Wilfried Zaha (groin).

GAMEWEEK 30 LINE-UPS

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Struijk, Firpo, McKennie, Roca, Harrison, Aaronson, Sinisterra, Bamford

Subs: Robles, Forshaw, Cooper, Summerville, Rodrigo, Rutter, Kristensen, Gnonto, Greenwood

Crystal Palace XI: Johnstone, Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Eze, Schlupp, Olise, Ayew, Edouard

Subs: Whitworth, Tomkins, Clyne, Riedewald, Hughes, Milivojevic, McArthur, Sambi, Mateta

    Aside from the money, Mudryk was supposedly convinced to go to Chelsea for the immediate game-time he would get compared to sitting on the bench at Arsenal.

    Mins (Premier League):

    Mudryk: 355/900 (39%)
    Trossard: 543/1080 (50%)

    Mins (all comps):

    Mudryk: 425
    Trossard: 683

      He is absolutely terrible. Chelsea need someone who can score, and he isn’t the player.

      1. Hazz

        3 years, 6 days ago

        He's (probably) a good player but he's come into a terrible environment. I think he wanted to go to Arsenal initially anyway (Zinchenko partly) - but he/his agent must be idiots if they thought he'd get more immediate play time with out bloated squad. All about money at the end of the day & out contract was probably a bit more lucrative.

        Bit premature to call the kid absolutely terrible.

    2. Sure You Did

      Arse clearly dodged a bullet.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Probably a good player but overhyped by twitter/YouTube generation.

      Scored some goals in Ukraine but that means nothing. It’s a significant jump to the big leagues. Might be a decent player in 3 or 4 years

    4. Mirror Man
        3 years, 6 days ago

        £5bn or has been spent. On Chelsea. The world has gone mad.

        1. camarozz
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Yeah. It's great. My son jumped ship on my villa a yr before relegation, now we're 8 points ahead of them. It's not all about the money but that's unfortunately the way its gone.

    5. Gazzpfc

      Gw 31 Rashford to Grealish
      Gw 32 Chillwell to Botmsn
      Gw 33 Maddison to March
      Gw 34 Saka Martinell Mee to Salah Rashford and Shaw

      Like it???

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Yeees

        I think I see what you are doing. You are trying to deal with rashford now but keeping your players who actually play in 32.

        Is there another way that doesn’t involve two Rashford transfers? Fact is, we have no idea how long he will be out.

        1. Gazzpfc
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Actually hope Shaw and Tashford are not back for 34 as can then keep Saka

    6. dansmith1985
      • 4 Years

      Does anybody else still have their BB? I have to play it GW34 after I WC in 32 or 33 yeah?

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Or GW38

        3 years, 6 days ago

        Bench boost works amazing in connection with a wildcard. Focus now on getting a full team out for 32, then you can wildcard them out in 33 for a solid bench boost team in 34.

        If you wildcard in 32, it will be hard get a team that both fills the roster in 32 and gives you enough doubles in 34.

        1. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Very much this

      3. Wobbles
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Have all my chips still. Will WC in 33 and a Haaland TC in 34 is too good to ignore. Am looking to BB in 35/36 when Brighton and Newcastle have a double. Should enable me to have a strong bench that week.

      4. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Still got all of them.

        Might use WC this week.

    7. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I want to use my FH for DGW 34 I already have 8 players to play GW 32 and if I dicth both Rashford & Chilwell for Martinelli & Perišić
      Would have this team
      Raya
      Tripper Schär Henry Perišić
      Saka Martinelli Maddison
      Kane Watkins
      It's GTG for GW 32 & use FH 34 ?

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I have the same thing. I can get 11 out using FTs

        I think both is us would do better FH 34

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Yes Mate

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Have the same 8. But not sure on Perisic away to Newcastle in bgw 32, is there a Pool or ars defender you could afford?

        Only problem with not free hitting in GW 32 is that it’s difficult to get in Salah and hard to tell which other liv attackers are worth getting for nfo

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Diaz could be gold

        2. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Not sure also about Perišić but can afford Zinchenko maybe and when FH 34 I can fit Salah so it's better to FH 34 isn't it ?

    8. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      My ultimate differential Harrison looking like doing anything? Or have I ran out my luck with his goal last week vs NFO

      1. romperstomper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        he might be useful next season in the championship but seems off the pace here

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          He’s playing on the right normally he plays on the left. Don’t know if that’s to accommodate sinisterra. He seems quieter today down that side so far anyway

    9. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Current team and plan, thoughts please.

      DDG
      Tripper Chilwell Pinnock
      Salah Rashford* March BigMac Bowen
      Haaland(c) Isak

      Raya Shaw* Ings Estupinan

      Gwk31 Rashford and March to Martinelli and Odergaard
      Gwk32 Shaw to White or Gabriel

      1. romperstomper
        • 16 Years

        ditch chilwell. he isn't guaranteed a start under lampard

      2. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        What do you think about keeping chilwell?

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Good fixtures soon to come

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          I'm keeping him for sure, Cucu didn't exactly play well and Chelsea lost, Lamps best play his best players

    10. romperstomper
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I haven't taken a hit all season, but i wildcarded in 27 and took haaland out. after yesterday I needed him back. I had *just* enough to sell toney & chilwell and bring in Haaland & Martinez. When I checked this morning, toney has gone down in price and Haaland has gone up. That would have necessitated an additional hit to bring in haaland.

      We do a lot of moaning around here about bad luck but we are very lucky for the fantastic resources that help us make better decisions. The ones I used last night (unlikely to be news) were:

        How do you do a whole season with no hits? What is your OR if you don’t mind me asking?

        1. romperstomper
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          I joined in week 3 in order to beat my brother (who plays this every year). My current OR is 1.2m but my second chance rank is 124k

          1. Haalander
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            That’s a very second chance rank.fair play.. how about mings?

            1. g40steve
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 days ago

              Mings is now 4.5

            2. romperstomper
              • 16 Years
              3 years, 6 days ago

              utd's defence is better than villas and they have an additional game.

      Maddison to March or Mac?

      1. RICICLE

        Isn’t March to Mac a little sideways?

        1. Root
          • 14 Years

          Maddison to March or Mac

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            Ahhh my mistake, well defo not Maddison haha, maybe March I’d still say

        2. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Both are an upgrade on Maddison surely? Already have Mitoma, but Brighton have several doubles to come.

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        FH32?

        1. Scots Gooner

            • 12 Years

            I would go BigMac with pens

      3. I Member

        Prefer Mac but both good options.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years

            Plus 2 appearance points

    17. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Got away with benching Mac10 yesterday, Brighton should have had a pen. Would have been a Mitoma assist, so points there but yeah.

      1. bombonera
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        They should have had 2

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          True

      2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I benched Mitoma for Maddison yesterday and know I was extremely lucky

      3. bombonera
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I played Mitoma ahead of Martinelli and I've just seen the highlights. Frustrating to say the least. Scored a perfectly good goal and won a penalty

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Completely agree mate!! He was robbed!!

        2. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Oh yeah totally forgot about that "handball" goal. Looked more like shoulder than arm tbh.

          1. bombonera
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            It was the same part of the arm they include for offsides so therefore usable. Make up the rules as they go

          1. bombonera
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            This apology just makes it worse. Acknowledging one penalty and ignoring the other clear penalty on Dunk and the Mitoma goal. Brighton should seriously have grounds for an official appeal and retrospective action

    18. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Would you do Rashford to
      a) Grealish
      b) Martinelli

      Will wait till injury time is known but if GW34 DGW is in doubt for Rashford, he is definitely gone

      1. romperstomper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        grealo for the additional game

      2. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Are you going to FH32? Yes, Grealish. No, Martinelli.

        1. Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Yes, FH32

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            I'd go Grealish

      3. I Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Depends if you're playing FH in 32 or not.

      4. Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        With UCL games, you reckon Grealish will continue to get majority of gametime in PL? I know nothing certain with Pep, but Martinelli could see more minutes than Grealish.

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          He seems to rarely rest him and with Foden out, don't really have many options, maybe Alvarez.

          1. Salalalalah
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            Isn't Foden back soon? Yes, Alvarez is another option that can cover Haaland benching too but just not getting enough minutes to take a forward spot when forwards are bringing points every week

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          this could be the case, also with Jesus back and Trossard etc Martinelli isn't guaranteed 90 mins.

    20. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah tend to agree. Time of the season for some one or two diffs of chasing but nothing looking too convincing atm, don't think Roy can change Palance that much ,not in time for me anyway.

      Who would you like to see go down?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Newcastle

        1. Stamford B

        Forest, Leeds, Everton. 1 of those looking very likely, other 2 still in big trouble

          Forest’s fixtures count against them. For the same reason, I think Leeds can pick up enough points and put this down to a bad day at the office.

      Moreno or Catman? Second has double.

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Cayman’s double includes City. That could be minus points
