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).

      Much like football, one of the great things about this game is there is many different ways of skinning a cat.

      You're the Burnley of FPL.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    That’s a pen

    Not given wow

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      So not a pen?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        VAR decide they only have one camera angle. No pen given

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hard to tell but think he got a touch

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

    4. Zenith UK

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Those last 6 games for both Leeds and Leicester are a blaze of red with 1 win each.

    You'd think Leicester would have enough to do it tonight.

  10. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How is that not a pen?

  11. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How can that not be a pen?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’m not sure. Only one angle given. Did he dive? Did the defender get a touch?

      • 9 Years
