Four more Blank Gameweek 32 matches get underway at 3pm BST, including Liverpool v Nottingham Forest.

The Reds are unchanged from the 6-1 win over Leeds United, meaning that Darwin Nunez has to be content with a place among the substitutes once more.

Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota again make up the Liverpool front three.

Forestย make one change from their last game, and it’s a defensive-minded one: midfielder Orel Mangala comes in for the benched forward Brennan Johnson.

The headline team news from the mid-afternoon kick-offs is that James Maddison is absent from the Leicester City squad due to illness.

Harry Souttar, Wilfried Ndidi and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall drop to the bench as Boubakary Soumare, Tete, Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka come into what looks like a very attacking line-up.

Opponents Wolves are unchanged, so the newly available Ruben Neves is only among the substitutes.

Also naming the same starting XI is Roy Hodgson at Goodison Park, although Vicente Guaita is fit enough to take his place among the Crystal Palace substitutes.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is back available and starts, replacing Neal Maupay up front, while Mason Holgate comes in for Ben Godfrey at right-back.

In a day of relatively few line-up changes, there is only one across the two teams at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Vitaly Janelt has replaced Josh Dasilva for the hosts, while Aston Villa go with the same 11 players that beat Newcastle United.

    Any news on Ake out for long?

  2. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Disaster defence on FH but Jota haul kind of makes up for it... Tomorrow will be the decider if I have green or red arrow.

  3. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Changed armband from Saka to Martinelli late yesterday, lost Brentford doubl defence late, ALMOST did Haaland to Jota for one week for a hit. Yet more ground lost on leader in my biggest money league. Gutting...!!!

  4. cravencottage

    Please rank : Importance of getting in for next 2 weeks:

    1) Grealish
    2) Jota
    3) TAA

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably that order

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am planning 2 in 33 and 1 in 34, no TAA

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      3 then i am probably getting 1 and 2 anyway but will wait 34 for jota

    4. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years

      2
      3
      1

    Your best and worst luck on FH picks: Castagne (+) and Gakpo (-) here! ๐Ÿ˜›

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota - Moreno & Eze

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same two for me. I never really considered Jota this week, so reasonably happy so far.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I considered Jota after I already got Watkins in early this GW... of course Ollie stops scorinf

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison -
      Tarkowski off bench +

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota/Andersen

      Martinez

    5. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Didn’t use my FH.

      Jota my highest scorer.

      Watkins my only blanker

    6. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Best:
      - Johnstone, Saka (common ๐Ÿ™ )

      Worst:
      - Jesus, Watkins, Gakpo, Moreno

      Aside Watkins, got super unlucky with the rest. Forwards had sitters and Moreno was about to be subbed before they conceded.

      Worst part was my rival who is only a few points ahead has Castagne/Solanke over my Moreno/Isak...

      ... so need the favourable Isak variance tomorrow!

    7. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota
      Playing Moreno over castagne

  6. Christina.

    3 years, 1 month ago

    up 3.5 m places in OR in 11 weeks
    Game is all about luck

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Goodness me well done!

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Well done

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

      Game is about putting yourself in the best positions to get lucky (but it doesn't always work).

      Huge rise - well done. Rank from & to?

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. Milked the DGWs dry.

  7. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Selling Jota still a good option with my 1FT before WC34?

    A) Jota (whu) > Haaland (ARS)
    B) Jota (whu) > Isak (eve)
    C) Toney (che) > Isak (eve)
    D) Saka (mci) > ? (Mac Allister?)
    E) Botman (TOT) > ? (James?)

    Iversen (Ward)
    Robertson Trippier Botman (Henry Gabriel)
    Salah Saka Mitoma March (Odegaard)
    Jota Watkins Toney | 3.4 ITB

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably A or C

    2. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Who is your 3rd striker? I would try to keep Jota but you need Haaland

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Toney ๐Ÿ™‚

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Doesn't bother me which one is 1st, 2nd, or 3rd

      3. agueroooooney
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, just seeing full team, can you do Watkins + Saka to Haaland + Mac Allister?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, I can, but a hit ain't really turning me on

          1. agueroooooney
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I'm unsure on Salah's value for money. City's fixtures from 34-36 look fantastic on paper.

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Sorry, but you also haven't read the first line of my OP ๐Ÿ˜†

      4. agueroooooney
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe Salah + Watkins/Toney to Grealish + Haaland (c)? That worth a hit?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Why the clamour for Man City players? There are better fixtures, like for Salah and Watkins, for example...

          1. agueroooooney
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Replied slightly above by accident

          2. agueroooooney
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            For what it's worth, if you're definitely doing one of the above options I'd probably do A

  8. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gakpoo subbed before 60 mins? But I thought he was more nailed than Jota?

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jota had scored two goals at this point, would have been mad to take him off

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Tell Pep that

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Give it a break, getting a bit repetitive now.

        Can't believe I pay money to this site and can't mute these planks.

    4. GENERATION X

      Please please link your team oh great one. Thought not…

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He wouldn't want to expose his 1.5m rank naturally. Seems to be enjoying his Jota pick rather too much.

    5. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tragic behaviour this

  9. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which looks best on WC (other keeper is Steele)?

    A) Iversen
    Robertson
    Toney + Kane

    B) Alisson
    Dalot
    Toney + Kane

    C) DDG
    Konaté
    Jota + Kane

    D) DDG
    Robertson
    Jota + Toney

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      D

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      D (not sure on Toney though)

  10. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison to

    1. Rashy
    2. Grealish

    Planning fh 34 so choose..

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      2

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Won’t be able to afford TAA Salah Jota, who along Salah till the end of the season?

    1. faux_C
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      TAA. None of the attacking options are nailed, even though all will get big scores at some point and it'll feel bad.

  12. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    22 pts on bench
    Sa Andreas castagne guehi !

    1. DLLM
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Last week i has watkins and mings on the bench. 22 pts. Played them today and of course useless now.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      27?

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Think there will be a few bench pts for this week on fh, as needed cover if anything happened, like madds for example

    3. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Shold've played benchboost

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can’t play 2 chips

  13. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I raise a glass to the WC26 BB29 FH32 strategy. Has worked really well in my own situation

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yup the template chip decisions have worked well this season.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Big OR rise since GW25? Nice!

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty good though I had a massive red arrow in WC26 the setup really worked afterwards.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Well done and good luck for the rest of the season.

  14. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lol Burnley could win the championship in Blackburn’s stadium

  15. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry for early posting, but time is tight inbetween gameweeks and my schedule will be tight as well. Any thoughts much appreciated.

    Raya
    Chilwell, Trippier, Burn
    Saka, Grealish, Rashford, Mitoma
    Haaland, Kane, Watkins

    Steele / Ødegaard, Gabriel, Mee

    A. Kane to Toney, Ødegaard to Salah

  25. Sun Jihai

    1. GENERATION X

  26. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Just logged on. Absolutely devastated. Free hit team a shambles.
    Going for Gakpo over Jota, and benching Castagne has killed me ๐Ÿ™

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good picks nobody can predict the future

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 11 Years

        Yeah true man ๐Ÿ™‚

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

      I took a hit to pick Trent and benched Tarkowski.

      Invariably these things don't work out in 1 weekend.

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benched castagne guehi andreas!
      Luckily enough stuck with jota over Gakpo

  27. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hit and more hits.

    Taken two -4 in a row and next week and -4 gW34.

    But with Liverpool did TAA, last week then Salah this week then Jota GW34.

    Wish i just took the -12 GW31 lol

    I was putting Jota>Gapko this week, as i nearly did Kane to him for -8, and was my FH choice of the week and was my advice to questions this week.

    But even with 47(-4) still think I got away with it (4 to play but with Kane and a double Newcastle defence and Zouma, so not expecting much)

    RIP Barry Humphries

  28. fantasist

    Sheffield Utd held off City well otherwise. Gives some hope to Arsenal fans for next week.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      City probably saving themselves for the Arsenal game.

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Plus the Sheffield defence is better than Arsenal's right now

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          True

  29. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Grealish has played too many minutes. Something twanged...

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Be surprised if he came back out for the 2nd half.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Colour me surprised.

  30. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    City with their weekly penalty again.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah that was pretty darn weak
