Three Tuesday matches kick off the midweek round of Gameweek 33, each starting 15 minutes apart. At 7:30pm, Wolverhampton Wanderers host Crystal Palace, with Aston Villa and Fulham starting at 7:45pm. Then, at 8:00pm, a big match down at the bottom pitting 16th-placed Leeds United against 17th-placed Leicester City.

The headline news is that Foxes duo James Maddison (£8.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.7m) are both in the starting line-up after recovering from injury. Coming in for Jamie Vardy (£9.1m) and Patson Daka (£5.6m), they are the only two changes made by Dean Smith

Leeds have swapped four players from the defeat at Fulham. Defenders Luke Ayling (£4.5m) and Junior Firpo (£4.5m) are in, just like Patrick Bamford (£7.1m) and Luis Sinisterra (£6.5m). Cheap forward Wilfried Gnonto (£4.8m) stays benched.

Another side with four changes is Crystal Palace. Roy Hodgson is still going with Eberechi Eze (£5.6m), Michael Olise (£5.6m), Sam Johnstone (£4.4m) and the usual centre-backs but Odsonne Edouard (£5.0m) makes way.

Mario Lemina (£4.5m) is unaffected by the hamstring issue picked up at Leicester, meaning he starts for Wolves. They’ve made three alterations, as captain Ruben Neves (£5.2m) and cheap full-back Hugo Bueno (£3.8m) start. Attacking midfielder Pablo Sarabia (£5.1m) rotates to the bench.

Then, at Villa Park, Unai Emery has the hosts unchanged from the 1-1 draw at Brentford. Usual suspects like Ollie Watkins (£7.7m), Tyrone Mings (£4.6m) and Alex Moreno (£4.5m) retain their places, plus goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (£5.0m) has recovered from a sickness bug.

Finally, Fulham’s only change is up front. Daniel James (£5.9m) was ineligible to face parent club Leeds but is back tonight, in place of Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.4m).

GAMEWEEK 33 LINE-UPS

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sá; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Bueno; Nunes, Neves, Lemina; Hwang, Diego Costa, Cunha

Crystal Palace XI: Johnstone; Richards, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell; Milivojevic, Sambi Lokonga, Hughes; Olise, Ayew, Eze


Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; McGinn, Dendoncker, Douglas Luiz, Ramsey; Buendia, Watkins

Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Tosin, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Andreas, Willian; James


Leeds United XI: Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Firpo; Roca, McKennie; Harrison, Rodrigo, Sinisterra; Bamford

Leicester City XI: Iversen; Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu, Kristiansen; Soumare, Tielemans; Tete, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho

    I have exact cash for the following so tempted to do it tonight. Thoughts?

    Ake, Bruno, Saka + Kane to TAA, Salah, Grealish + Isak -8pts

  4. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    GL all!

    Especially to those with a team like this:

    Ederson
    TAA - Trippier - Castagne
    Salah - KDB - Mac Allister - Mitoma - March
    Haaland (C) - Watkins

  5. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Usually find mids re-classified as forwards absolute kryptonite

    BUT

    I think Jota for Pool could buck that trend. Excellent asset under Klopp and I'm inclined to go for him over Trent

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’m a self proclaimed Jota expert and I say go for him.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No bigger endorsement than that!

        Saka - Bruno - Kane

        to

        Salah - Rashford - Jota

        -4

        1. Rupert The Horse

          Beautiful. Bruno looks out for a bit according to his wife’s snap happy account.

    Steele
    Estupinan* • Trippier • Mee
    Salah* • Rashford* • Mitoma* • Saka • Martinelli
    Haaland* • Toney

    Do you advise to FH this team to get KDB/Grealish/TAA/Robertson/Shaw instead of Saka/Martinelli/Trippier/Mee/Toney?

  7. OptimusBlack

    FH 34

      2 years, 11 months ago

      That's my starting 11 next week except I've got Grealish for KDB and De Gea in goal.

      Like it a lot.

  8. M2.0
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can anyone explain the staggered start times of tonight’s games?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      BT are televising the all live

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        *them

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It’s common with BT and Amazon. They show all the games and suits the ADHD demographic as they always have something to watch without a break. Plus you get to see more minutes as each game ends.

      1. M2.0
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Makes sense, cheers!

    3. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      To keep the serfs occupied

  9. Magic Hamster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I'm planning on FH for 34.

    I assume the best course of action is to make a transfer early, then hit FH so I don't lose my transfer?

    I think I remember reading that if you FH but don't use your transfer normally first you lost it .. Is that right?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wha'?

      1. Magic Hamster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Haha, so basically if I FH but don't use my transfer first it doesn't roll over to next week.

        1. Alan The Llama
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          It doesn't roll over, no matter what witchcraft you try. Freehit means no gameweek transfers.

    2. Dunster
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You lose it no matter what

      1. Magic Hamster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Ah ok, thanks

      2. Magic Hamster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Awwww, booo

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Incorrect. Any transfers made in a free hit week revert back.

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Scary as a non Haaland captained

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

      Captainer

    4. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      30% of Trippier owners captained him? How it comes to 97%?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Top 10k should have put (where everyone owns him)

    5. Forgetmeknot
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers ta, nice to see points for all players (non Haaland captainers excluded!)

    6. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Salah v Kane again.

    7. M2.0
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      KDB a huge differential

    8. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The most sold players will punish the crowd.

    9. Wobbles
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Looks like KDB is a major differential at the moment. Flying under everyone's radar.

  11. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I decided to do it in the end. Haaland benched, Odegaard (c), Saka and Martinelli starting. Pretty much guaranteed tip 10k gw finish or bottom 1m

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years

  19. Supersonic_

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      May as well hold for injuries etc.

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Risk getting priced out, imagine Saka might drop

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Selhurst Park.

  22. Slitherene

    Can I WC, after I press the FH button?

    Or vice-versa...

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Only 1 chip in a gw

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No. You can't cancel a FH, once you've activated. Same for WC. Can only use 1 chip per GW.

  23. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wow. The last 9 games that Wolves have scored first they’ve gone on to win and not concede.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm guessing that didn't happen in the 10th game.

      1. Stamford B
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Lol

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Coincidentally these also happened to be the gameweeks I benched Dawson

  24. Stamford B
    • 4 Years

    That Leicester team will batter Leeds tonight. I’ll go 4-0

  25. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bus FH34 team. Can't even see it changing much

    Ederson
    TAA, Shaw, Dunk
    Mitoma, March, Salah, Rashford, Grealish
    Haaland, Jota

    DDG, Trippier, Coufal, Greenwood
    1.1 itb.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Grealish > KDB ?
      DDG > Iversen
      Tripper > Zouma

      1. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        not sure its worth it to be honest, grealish seems to play more minutes and have a similar amount of returns lately, while kdb often gets subbed of at 60 when leading big

        1. OptimusBlack

    Early thoughts on the following?

    A. Watkins > Jota, benching one of Isak/Mac Allister

    B. Chilwell > TAA, benching one of Trippier/Estupinan

  27. Free Hat
    • 7 Years

    Noticed it before, not been mentioned a lot, but where is Jiminez?
    Not on the injured list so...?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Not sure, but he’s not the same player these days.
