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

    Fulham had 1 shot in that match, and it came after 30 seconds. So 96 consecutive minutes without a shot. Riveting

  6. Old Wulfrunian

    What an awful management from Garcia.Useless sub to bring in Rodrigo instead of a defensive sub.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Eh? Rodrigo started

    T-Mingz has been a delight to own since I got him on WC in gameweek 22 at 4.3!!

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years

      Well done

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Almost double the return of tripps in the last 7 weeks!

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Amazing run of form, think that’s 5 clean sheets at home in a row now

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He’s flying in fairness. Wildcarding now and going to keep. Him and zouma have gave me some decent points over the last few weeks

          1. ididnt

            Going for Matty Cash over Mings on my gw22 wc has cost me my ML! Cash still languishing on my bench.

              Ah there rough mate, always so annoying when 50/50 decisions like that go the wrong way really unfortunate

            He is mate definitely!! Zouma done well too!! I love a budget Centre half option that has a bit of goal threat!!

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Well done. I can't believe his and Villa's turnaround under Emery. They were probably one of the worst teams I'd seen at SJP earlier in the season.

  18. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Am Leading the goalscorer challenge game and my pick this week was Bamford. 🙁

  19. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering Haaland to Ayling?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both got lovely locks!!!

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only if Haaland is ailing

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Get both

  20. McGazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez made a clear save at near post in 92nd minute from that deflected shot. He literally stopped the ball going straight into the net . Not credited. Worth 1 bonus pt. Would have soothed the -2 yellow but wtf - just a joke it has credited as a save

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be a shot on Target, those don't count as saves unfortunately

      1. McGazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Wow didn’t know that. In which case that rule is nonsense.

    2. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It was a deflected cross.

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It was a deflection off Mings, would have been an own goal so it can't be a save.

      1. McGazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’m going to parliament for a change in law. A deflected cross that is flying into the net but is saved by the keeper is………… the clue is given earlier………… a save!

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It depends whether the shot was on target or not. Where do you draw the line then with pass backs and headers back to the keeper and whether they were intentional or not?

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

    That was must score moment for Bamford.

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both teams were poor tbf. Can’t see Leicester getting out of this mess with their fixtures ahead

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He's a second rate striker.
      Paul Mullin would be better.

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    That last 10 minutes was great!.

    So many mistakes & nerves.

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A total slugfest. Entertaining but lacking serious quality
