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

    The likes of Newcastle and Villa looking at possible Champions League qualification is the reason the like of Spurs and Chelsea wanted to pull up the drawbridge with the European Super League.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If Chelsea and Spurs put up the drawbridge they'll find themselves on the wrong side of the moat at this rate

  5. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Harrison is too inconsistent to keep in your team

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

      10 assists by gw33 ain't bad.

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I've bought him in twice and both times hauled once then nothing for a few weeks

      2. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        3 blanks in a row

  6. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Watkins should have just scored

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

      I brought him in this week, sorry

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

      Was it on target?

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yes but straight at Leno

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

          Thanks. Asking for degenerate gambling purposes.

          1. tiger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Super Boost?

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

              Not sure what that is.

              1. tiger
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                Odds are boosted for certain bets...I'm on one for Ollie Watkins 1 SOT + Villa win 😀

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

                  Oh. One done, the best of luck for the Villa win.

                  1. tiger
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    2 years, 10 months ago

                    Thanks, you too! Although I only do small amounts for a bit of fun...not going to make me rich 😀

            2. Bartowski
              • 15 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Shots on Target part of his bet.

  7. afs2239
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Really considered Sinistera

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Season over.

  8. jimbe4mXL
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is it time to shift Watkins, did his hot streak run out, or is he just unlucky, didnt watch him play?

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

      The game's not even run out

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Shifting him to Jota for 34

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ran hot with good underlying numbers too, things were going right for him & Villa.

      Majority of his owners will move to Isak in 36.

      1. jimbe4mXL
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Have Isak and Haaland, thinking shifting to Jota.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Lovely jubbly.

    4. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think his time is done. He may score here, but fixtures are turning a little and there are forwards with more and/or easier games

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

      Moving to Jota for GW34 and 35 and then shift Isak for GW36

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

      Kept him for this game and regretting it

  9. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mings goal and wildcard active!

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      This

  10. Tinslinger
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Obviously got Mings on the bench

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

    Maddison wastes a free kick

    Shot come cross

  12. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Leicester are terrible, can't believe I gave Maddison one last shot in my team...

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Same

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

      Lol me too

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Leeds are terrible too though so he will probably score.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        You would think so.

    4. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Me too… but wait

      Everton (H) next

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nice try, my subconscious...

        1. Scalper
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ya know, that differential can be reeeeal tasty

    5. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Line up the shots to toast his uselessness! 🙂

    6. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Same here

  13. jimbe4mXL
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    After 1FT, i will have 8 DGW players, would you play FH to fit in 11 DGW players, or use TC - Haaland?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'd probably use my TV

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        TC*

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

        TC

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Don't fall into the dgw trap cos players from non dgw will haul too. I would tc haaland.

    3. jimbe4mXL
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks guys, was dead set on FH, but really considering using TC.

    4. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      TC Haaland all day long.

    5. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      TC - Haaland

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

    Sinnesterra down and out.

    Knock on the ankle

    Sommerville coming on.

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It was a sinister tackle

      1. Cheeky Reijnders
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lefty.

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

    Moreno limping. If he goes off injured at HT I’m done

  16. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bottom of the table all of a sudden going from being incredibly tight, between several teams, to looking like it's three from four.

  17. jack88
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Villa isnt taking any risks. Very boring match

  18. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Steele
    TAA | Robertson | Estupinan | Shaw
    Salah | KDB | Grealish | Rashford | Mitoma
    Haaland

    Any suggesting on this FH team?

    1. jimbe4mXL
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would squeeze in Jota over Robertson somehow.

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        One of Grealish or KDB should be sacrificed then

    2. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      FH34? If yes, my feedback is I'd rather forwards than defenders. I would probably pick the same team but realistically I've learned that more likely to benefit from attacking returns than defensive, especially when playing twice and those doubling that you have playing each other

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Sure. But attackers are more expensive usually.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Soyuncu & Faes are an entertaining duo!

  20. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    On the plus side, Vardy is going to decimate the Championship.

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Absolute garbage

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Oh I see Football Club: Middlesbrough has turned up with his fine understanding of cynicism...

        1. Riverside Red
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Cynicism : an inclination to believe that people are motivated purely by self-interest

          1. Bartowski
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            and sceptical of human merit, often mocking or sarcastic

            Synonyms: sceptic, doubter, pessimist

  21. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    1 from 1, any good?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No Mings = season over!

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      3 from 3 here mate

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

      5 from 5 here

  22. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So this is what owning Ollie Watkins feels like...

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

      Yeah…

    2. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He was never all that, really.

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think you wanted us to get rid of him when you got him in. I wish I'd listened

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        *warned

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Been the absolute bane of my existence for months. Blank was nailed on really.

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ayling should be sent off for that tackle

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      What a rat

  24. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Trent or jota ? Thanks

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why not both? I'd say they were the first two on the list.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Going salah plus Trent or jota

        1. Cheeky Reijnders
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Don't go Salah. Too much £ for questionable upside.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Yeh agree lots of money but I can afford him

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

      Jota for me

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Guess depends on how many minutes he gets mid week

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      both

    4. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Both. Sorry.

    5. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Getting both by the weekend

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        And not salah ? Does that mean you are playing an arsenal mid?

  25. boroie
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A - Akanji & Jota
    B - TAA & Martial

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

  26. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    12 DGWers loaded... Now I only need them all to come through GW33 in one piece.

    1. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why 12? Seems extravagant.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        BB baby!

        1. Scalper
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ah

        2. Cheeky Reijnders
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          You need moar, then, hahaha 🙂 GL.

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

        Probs including his captain

  27. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Omg just seen Mings scored and I have him 😉

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Precious

  28. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    DO SOMETHING OLISE

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

      Should have just won a pen

  29. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bloody hell the GW34 FH is uninspiring. Pretty much my whole mini league owns the players I'd bring in. any merit in waiting for another week?

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Could do FH 37/38

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

      How many doubles do you have without?

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Even if you wait until GW37 again you'll find its same players
      Just play this week

  30. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago
