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

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

    Salah or KDB for rest of season?

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Salah next week. KDB thereafter

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

      I have both. Massively chasing in my MLs but still a glimmer of hope. Last throw of the dice.

  2. Connor's Calling

    A) TAA & Edouard (bench) -8

    B) Akanji & Watkins (bench) -4

    (B means I can do Watkins to Isak before GW36)

      Go B but get TAA. Downgrade elsewhere to get the money

      1. Slitherene

    Forgot all about this was watching the snooker. Have to check my bench order now.

  9. dunas_dog

    • 10 Years

    Assuming no injuries I have exact cash for Bruno F to Salah and Watkins to Isak -4 to play 10 doublers and Raya. But it does mean benching all my Newcastle players home to SOU and used all the budget. Which move would you make?

    Bruno Watkins to Salah and

    A Isak
    B Solanke and 1 m in bank

    Raya
    Trent Trippier Shaw
    Bruno F* Grealish Mitoma Rashford March
    Haaland Jota

    Kepa Watkins* Trippier Botman

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Do it. I'm also on 10 doublers with Raya in goal after a -4.

  10. mcginnntonic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Watkins andreas martinelli
    to
    greenwood kdb rashford

    -8?

  11. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    is Saka likely to drop again tonight? fplstats have him on 99.1% but no idea with WC's play.

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Showing as -76.3 for me on fplstats but dropping fast, could depend a lot on result tonight!

  12. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Thought I was doing OK with Martinez and Moreno double up but seems loads in my ML have Mings, back to square one

    RMFHT 🙂

    DDG
    TAA - Estupinan - Lindelof
    Salah - KDB - Rashford - Mahrez - Mitoma

    2. cruzex

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        We are the Borg

    5. Tomas_brolin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn’t double up on Man Utd defence given their fixtures

      Don’t like mahrez pick at all

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Fixture difficulty rating good for the rest of the season. Shackled Brighton pretty well in the FA Cup semi-final. I think they could deliver 4/5 clean sheets

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Not disagreeing, but it's a FHT so only GW34 fixtures matter

    6. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Decent but not sure about the Man u double up at the back i think Villa and Brighton both score.

  14. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Watkins fail

  15. Tomas_brolin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I’m genuinely surprised by everyone playing kepa and Chilwell and benching raya and Toney. Chelsea are no good. What did I miss?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Brentford away are bad with nothing to play for.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        To be fair Chelsea anywhere are bad with nothing to play for

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I mean fair enough. But you'd still back the home team in this instance.

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

            I wouldn't. I think Brentford will smell blood.

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              I don't think Brentford care enough tbh.

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

                Not sensing a huge amount of motivation amongst the Chelsea players either personally.

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

        Local derby. BRE will be well up for it. CHE, well.......shambles (as a Chelsea supporter). I see a BRE win.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Attacking points for Chilwell. Can't see what else.

    3. Tomas_brolin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I played raya over kepa. Ah well, presumably both kepa and toney can’t both haul…

  16. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which FH team do you prefer?

    A)
    DDG
    TAA Estu Dias*
    KDB Salah Rashford Mitoma March*
    Haaland Jota

    B)
    DDG
    TAA Estu Dalot*
    KDB Salah Rashford Mitoma Grealish*
    Haaland Jota

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

      B

  17. GC123
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    WC plan. Thoughts please guys

    DDG Iversen
    Trippier TAA Estupinan Shaw Bueno
    Grealish Martinelli Mitoma Rashford KDB
    Haaland Jota Ferguson

    Did contemplate Salah over KDB as City are still in Europe but

    A) City have an extra game
    B) Would necessitate downgrading Shaw to Lindelof

    Thanks

  18. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How’s this FH team looking?

    Alisson
    TAA - Shaw - Estupinan
    KDB - Salah - Grealish - Mitoma - Rashford
    Haaland - Martial

    Iversen - Neco - Bueno - Greenwood

    1. Tomas_brolin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Downgrade shaw to lindelof and upgrade martial to someone less mopey

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lol. Martial? Mopey? Never

  19. CFC1990
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Up to 290 OR now.

    How's this wildcard team?

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

    Iverson, Trippier, Botman, Greenwood

    1.6 itb. Will probably do Jota to Isak for DGW36

    1. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You're in the top 300 and still have your wildcard!? Well played.

      Team looks bang on. On for a strong finish

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

      Very nice. Will be 4-3-3 with Raya, same def, KDB, Rashford, Mitoma, H, J, Enciso. GL.

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

        *NOT same def. Add Stones.

  20. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Leeds Leicester Everton Forest Southampton
    Which 2 do you think stay up?
    Imo Leicester and Everton survive

  21. Tango74
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If you sell tripper on a free hit , when it goes back next week . You still get that same cost price which would have been 5,0 ?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Unless there were price changes affecting Trippier during the FH Week.

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

    For dgw34:

    A) 9 dgw players + Trippier/Martinelli -4, save FH

    B) FH and get Stones and Grealish for Trippier/Martinelli and have 11 dgw players

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think the fixtures are good enough for that many DGW player unless you are free hitting over good SGW. Treble Liverpool is attractive but I definitely would not be selling Trippier or leaving yourself with no Arsenal attackers.

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

        Treble city

        1. Gubby-Allen
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Treble City would be good with the three which you have mentioned, but seems as if you need to sign two of them. Newcastle home to Southampton is a risk to ignore, although I only have Trippier so have that worry

  23. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I have 1.8 m in the bank

    Had worked out Saka and Kane for Salah and Jota last week and had around 0.2 to have done it.

    Thought I would get in now before any rises but am 0.1 out, so can't do it.

    Kane and Saka must have lost 0.1 each and one of the other two gained 0.1. I can't see any way of the prices altering back now, if anything I will be further away.

      Would choose Grealish over mahrez

      1. jimmy12
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'm behind leader by 30pts and he as Grealish
        So chasing

        1. Hutchiniho
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Other way round here. I had got my gap down to 12 points in DTFF, but Mahrez absolutely knobbled me with his hat trick. Gap back out to 30.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure about 2 Man Utd defenders but no Rashford. City rotation is a risk but always is.

    Steele
    TAA, Shaw, dalot
    Salah, rashf, mitoma, march, grealish
    Haaland, jota

    Ederson, Isak/toney, botman, burn

    1. _Ninja_

    3. Cheeky Reijnders

      Steele, perhaps.

    Who wins?

    Kane, Mahrez, Martinelli, Gros,
    vs
    Salah, Grealish, Saka, MacAllister
    ???

      Solid team - May as well use the funds to improve Coufal and Neco to good future DGW options.
