Fulham v Leeds United has the tough act of following on from last night’s six-goal thriller at the Emirates.

Kick-off at Craven Cottage is at 12:30 BST.

There’d ordinarily not be a great deal of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in this match, and in truth, there may be less riding on it than any of the other seven Blank Gameweek 32 fixtures.

Still, budget buy Andreas Pereira was transferred in by almost 200,000 FPL managers ahead of Friday’s deadline, in time for a meeting with the division’s leakiest defence.

Bernd Leno also gained around 100,000 new owners, with Fulham assets in the ‘sensible differential’ envelope after Leeds experienced back-to-back heavy defeats.

As for the team news, Marco Silva makes one enforced change: Bobby DeCordova-Reid is in for the ineligible Daniel James up top.

Javi Gracia responds to Leeds’ 6-1 thumping by Liverpool by making three alterations.

Junior Firpo, Pascal Struijk and Luis Sinisterra drop to the bench, with Liam Cooper, Max Wober and Crysencio Summerville taking their places.

Patrick Bamford returns from injury as a substitute.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Wilson, Pereira, Willian, De Cordova-Reid.

Subs: Rodak, Duffy, Kebano, Cairney, Solomon, Soares, Lukic, Vinicius, Diop.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Cooper, Wober, McKennie, Roca, Harrison, Aaronson, Summerville, Rodrigo.

Subs: Robles, Ayling, Firpo, Forshaw, Bamford, Struijk, Sinisterra, Rutter, Gnonto

            You’d think Forest would catch on, but no!

        2. Mirror Man
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Anything less than 5 is a huge letdown

          1. The Knights Template

    10 gorgeous points

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

      It's a good way to start the day 🙂

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

      o/

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

      Did Maddison+Rashford to Salah+Andreas (-4) last week. It’s paid off brilliantly so far!

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well done if you got him on FH or a transfer otherwise was an obvious starter

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

        Most underrated Andreas as a FH pick due to price

  3. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gakpo v Jota owner catfight coming soon

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Switched from Jota to Gakpo just before the deadline. Fearing the worse.

      1. fish&chips
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        At least you didn't leave him on the bench like me...

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

        Same

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

      VVD owner here

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

      Jota will outscore Gakpoo for sure

    4. Mirror Man
      3 years, 2 months ago

      People argue over the silliest things eh

    5. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Vs Isak for those of us who stupidly decided to switch Jota to Gakpo 1 minute before the deadline and didn't have time to pull him off the bench. Oh that was just me then

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

      Can I join? I moved Jota out for VVD so I could play Solanke

    7. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's overwhelmingly in favor of Gakpo among content creators and engaged managers I've found.

      Jota is a big differential.

    8. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Jota clawed Gaks eyes out

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

    Tarkowski goal too much to ask?

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

      I reckon he’ll nab one

  5. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bench 11

    Martinelli Vs City
    March Vs Forest

    ???

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

      Martinelli

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m currently benching March.

  6. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    There are a lot of bald people in the crowd.

    1. Mirror Man
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison owners imo

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agree, they’re slapping their bonces like bongo drums.

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

      Pretty brave from a bloke who hides his melon under a helmet

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        In Australia we call bald people ‘Mobys’.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Well I do at least.

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mostly Leeds supporters.
      Lost hair for obvious reasons 🙂

  7. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    madds not in squad ??

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No, Olise off bench, that's fine.

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Correct.
      Got Solanke on bench and couldn’t make decision. I’m glad they did it for me.

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

      ill

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

    Andreas v Leeds was such an obvious pick. I guess everyone was fooled by the price tag. Not me though.

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Me neither. Congratulations brother

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

      Massively overlooked, so happy I went with my guts on FH.

      Could have had 2 today as well. Beautiful differential

    3. Ligdon
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      XD

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If only you would link your team so I could learn from you

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

      There were goals in this game, I had foreseen, who would score and assist them was an entirely different matter, had Andreas v Everton last week as I predicted Fulham to win strongly and they did, but 3 goals, no Perreira involvement, thought I'd pick someone more exciting and I could cheer for.

    6. djman102
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Chose him for FH and played over Eze; looking good so far.

      Leno over Johnstone not looking as good though.

  9. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Andreas 3 bonus hopefully?

    Now Kane goals and Mings CS would be nice differential point for us no-FH guys!

  10. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Just out of curiosity, why did some people think Jota would be benched for this gw?

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

      Coming back from long layoff and game midweek

    2. Mirror Man
      3 years, 2 months ago

      90% of FPL managers are afraid of everything.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I captained him, because I am brave. And hairsuite!

        1. Mirror Man
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Have you ever farted in your helm and put it back on really quickly for a laugh?
          Asking for a friend.

          1. The Knights Template
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Mine great helm has many holed vents around the nasal area to avert this very thing! Hijinks and farts always end in tears.

            1. The Knights Template
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              But one of mine favourites is the ‘pull mine gauntlet’ jape!

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

      Just rotational reasons, as he's not always a starter

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

        He’s been a nailed starter since he came bck from injury

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

          That's what I thought, he started even when Salah was benched

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

      They’re scared of not owning him so they tried to convince themselves that he wouldn’t start

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

      Jota was superb in the previous game, anyone who thought he will.be benched without any valid reason doesn't know ball.

    6. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Because they told us he would

  11. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Brentford 0-0 Villa
    Pool 2-1 Forest
    Palace 1-0 Everton
    Leicester 1-1 Wolves

    My predictions.

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

      Brentford 1-2 Villa
      Pool 4-0 Forest
      Palace 2-1 Everton
      Leicester 1-2 Wolves

    2. Mirror Man
      3 years, 2 months ago

      0-8
      10-0
      5-0
      2-6

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

        That's the spirit

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

        So close

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Brentford v Villa 0-0? No chance.

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

        That one is more something I hope for haha.

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Villa have scored in every game under Emery.

  12. Prinzhorn
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’ll await the Pool game but heavily considering Kane+Saka to Watkins+Salah for a hit. Makes sense no?

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

      I even meant Salah and Jota

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

      Got em all, gotta catch ‘em all hehe

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

    Pereira 10pts

    Mental...

    1. Mirror Man
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just a 1 and a 0 stuck together innit. Not that mental.

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

        True

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

      Can’t say that people weren’t recommending him (and Wilson /Willian). Still brave pick given other options

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

      Hardly surprising at home to Leeds

  14. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    wheres lenos save point,just made a save

  15. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wilson looks a bit like Torres

  16. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Good to see my risky Darwin pick paid off 😀

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

      Didn't Klopp mention something about him not being ready for a start yet?

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

        Yeah he's a potential for the future player

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

      Was always a risk after Liverpool ticking last match

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

      Still good chance he scores off the bench

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

      Same, but was always a possibility, hooing for decent 20+ sub mins later or a no show

    5. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Could easily come on and bang

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers fellas, that’s cheered me up. Hoping he gets 30 and a goal like last time out. Have a great weekend…

  17. kempc23
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wow, Andreas in for Madisson on FH, so flukey!

    I dont even remember picking him TBH.

  18. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Andreas The Angel winning goal BPS 😎

  19. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Andreas first on my bench, main rival just flying this year, can’t seem to catch him no matter what I do.

    Andreas in his starting 11, mart captain, Saka & white so far, need a big showing from Salah!

  20. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So everyone captained Salah. It means there is no difference whether owning and captaining.

    Only positive thing is I have Pool assets going forward as I don't FH.

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

      Salah (C) points will gain you more rank than just owning Saka/Martinelli - who everyone else also had.

      So you want Salah to do as well as he can.

  21. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who got the 3 BAPS?

    1. kempc23
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like Wilson and The Angel

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

        Andreas will get game winning bonus

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kane?

    3. Mirror Man
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Do burgers count?

    4. Ligdon
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think Wilson nicks it

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Angel was robbed

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

    People really thought Jota would be benched after scoring 2 goals and an assist in the last game LOL

  23. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Brennan Johnson being dropped seems an odd choice.

    1. Mirror Man
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's toast

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

      Pool CS confirmed.

  24. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Delighted Maddison is out. Ruined my team for weeks until finally getting rid, was surprised to see so many advocating him on a free hit.

    That said, I'm sure Vardy scores against Wolves to ruin my weekend.

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

      He's on my FH team, on the bench anyway, and probably won't need to come in.

      I get the pleasure of him leaving my team after this FH this final one time :mrgreen:

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Enjoy the palpable sense of relief!

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing wrong with him as an option, form is temporary he is too good a player to keep blanking.

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        0,2,2,2,2,4,2,1,0,2,11

        I'd like to finish in the top 100k, many many better options

  25. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gutted about maddison really . Had such high hopes. Easy to swap for march now.

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

      Before Leeds? It’s just an illness I believe so he should be back, I’m keeping

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

        I had enough to be honest. Will we even know if he s fit to play?

  26. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

        There will be at least one person that acts like this

          Tbf 10 is a "haul"
          9 is a "return"

    How essential do people think TAA is for double 34?

    My plan was Kane + Saka + Chilwell ----------------> Isak + Salah + TAA (-4) but I have been priced out by recent changes (0.1m) so would have to be a -8. Not sure its worth it at that point.

      He'll be a relative differential imo - unless you're on wildcard now, everyone will be scrambling to get Salah and Rashford back

      Robertson & VVD are OK alternatives

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

      Only Salah is imo

    Maybe should have gone Ayew over Eze seeing the lineup…?

      Where is Eze playing?
