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.

Forest 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.

    Best league in the world

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Certainly is

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        ..not...

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Just because it's the best league in the world doesn't mean it doesn't have lull's

    3. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Bound to happen when you've only got 1 good team playing across 4 games.

      1. FantasyTony
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        Villa?

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          Exactly.

          1. FantasyTony
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 day ago

            Harsh on Brentford

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 1 day ago

              Currently on for 0 wins in last 5 (2 draws 3 losses)

            2. Amartey Partey
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 day ago

              And Palace

              1. x.jim.x
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 1 day ago

                Any team that starts Jordan Ayew and struggles to beat Everton is not good.

      2. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        Harsh on Liverpool

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          They're 8th and not good.

      3. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        and even they don't seem to be troubling Brentford all that much

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      We had one of the best matches of the season last night where the bottom team were 1-3 up away to the top of the table. Memory lapse?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Palace’s definitely

  6. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years

    Need a Forest goal to help ease my pain of missing the deadline.

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Boos at HT at Anfield

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Probably the Salah TCers

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

      Keep it up Forest

  8. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Early thoughts on what to do with my 1FT before WC in GW34? (3.4 ITB)

    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
    Robertson Trippier Botman
    Salah Saka Mitoma March
    Jota Watkins Toney

    Ward | Odegaard, Henry, Gabriel

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      A or B, probably A

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

        Still thinking the same? 😀

  9. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Johnstone going for 12 pts

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

    Chance of Salah and/or Gakpo scoring 2nd half?

    1. ididnt
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      0% as I have both

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Gakpo and Jota looking more likely than Salah

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Does Johnstone keep his place once Gauita is fit?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Guaita*

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

      Well Guaita is on the bench & Palace picking up points. Probably his to keep until he has a howler.

  12. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Liverpool and Palace CS seems totally safe. Looking like this could be a good gw.

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Cheers for jinx

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

      5 shots on target for Everton doesn't exactly indicate "safe" to me

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Man City XI: Ortega; Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Gomez; Gundogan, Bernardo; Mahrez, Alvarez, Grealish, Haaland.

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Going to be a cricket score.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Dias this time

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

      Where's that Grealish rest many predicted would come today... 😛

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

        Not happening

    4. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Shite, benched Haaland as thought had a BGW….

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        It's the FA team Cup

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          I don't think he was expecting to hook an 11 year veteran...

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 day ago

            😉

    5. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Grealish never rests?

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

        Just twice in the last 3 months!

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Lovely, Stones gets a rest

    7. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Ederson nailed then

  14. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Trent 9pts min locked in I regret not capping with his various routes to points in this game

    1. jimbe4mXL
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Pool is going to concede so not sure about the locked 9 pts 😛

  15. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Johnstone is for the season, not just for free hit

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Guaita not going to get his place back?

  16. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    The scenes if these score lines remain unchanged

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      The GW32 FH is the biggest bandwagon in recent memory and everyone seems to have the same teams which is unsurprising

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

        No different to all of the FH, WC and TC bandwagons in the last 8 GWs

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

        The same teams as non-FHers, too

      3. Steve McCroskey
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        What a lot of non FHers can't seem to comprehend is that despite the current scores it was the most sensible option given the circumstances. I had 6 starters so there really was no other option.

        1. Tomerick
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 day ago

          It may have been the sensible option for those teams that backed themselves into that corner i.e. fpl Twitter and all the followers

  17. Hy liverpool
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    We need diaz on.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Thiago is more important too.

  18. Nas
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    First time I’ve played a free hit despite having a full team available. So far it’s been painful watching. I don’t recommend.

  19. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Grealish is like the walking dead, he never rests.

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

      According to many he’s always benched 🙂

  20. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Need Palace CS wiped out

    1. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      No thanks

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Yep

    3. bialk
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Only 1% of FHiters needs that.

    4. JBG
