Four more Double Gameweek 34 matches get underway at 2pm BST on Sunday, including Fulham v Manchester City.

The visitors are without Kevin De Bruyne, who is “not fully fit” according to reporter Mike Minay. Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez come into the starting XI, with Bernardo Silva dropping to the bench.

Fulham also make two changes as Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Carlos Vinicius replace Manor Solomon and Daniel James.

Elsewhere, the headline team news from St James’ Park is that Alexander Isak starts for Newcastle United. He comes in for Callum Wilson, with Dan Burn, Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon the other returnees.

James Ward-Prowse is fit enough to start for their opponents, Southampton. The alterations – and there are five in total – see Armel Bella-Kotchap, Lyanco, Stuart Armstrong, Moussa Djenepo and Kamaldeen Sulemana feature.

At Old Trafford, Tyrell Malacia and Marcel Sabitzer replace Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Antony, both of whom drop to the bench, while Aston Villa are unchanged for the fourth successive game.

On the south coast, Gary O’Neil makes two changes to his Bournemouth XI. The injured Marcus Tavernier and Chris Mepham drop out as Adam Smith and Dango Ouattara come in.

Leeds United, meanwhile, bring in Rasmus Kristensen, Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto for Junior Firpo, Rodrigo and the injured Luis Sinisterra, in what looks like a 3-4-3 formation.

    Pep saying KDB doesn't feel good and no timescale on injury

    1. Magic Zico

      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      😎 Alvarez!

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Watkins to Alvarez in 35 for me

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

          Tempting. Hopefully we get Man City line ups before the deadline. I'm ready to ship Watkins or Saka to a Man City attacker in GW35.

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years

      So back on Wednesday then...

    3. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good thing I only have him on FH then..

  6. james 101
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Will Jota play?

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      …and Grealish?

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Actually I can now see Grealish listed above!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe not but who knows, lots of speculation

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

      2. james 101
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hope so. Late swap in

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Same, I was between Jota, Martial or Alvarez and of course I picked the yellow flagged one 😛

    3. Mutherfunken Dude
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Most on here say no but I think he will play 30 minutes plus as Nunez not at full fitness yet

  7. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    One more twist left in the title race? Fulham shock result today would spice things up again

    1. noissimbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I can see Fulham scoring but that's about it really.

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Very unlikely to be honest. Also without mitro.. City defender fpl managers won't get a better fixture than this.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not holding my breath

    3. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Reckon the twist is at Old Trafford today.

  8. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins > Alvarez looking like potential

  9. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pray for owners of Mitoma, March & KdB on Free Hit 🙂

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma march almost in non free hit teams also.. The kdb one is the real blow..

    2. abaalan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      still another game to go....

  10. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I will take jota Coming off the bench to score / assist last 30 mins

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is he in the squad though?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I am prayingg he is

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Stranger Mings have happened.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fuming as went early getting jota and now bricking it

  11. white91
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thankfully I couldn’t afford KDB so went Grealish instead. First City midfielder I have transferred in since I had the uncertainty of Foden

  12. pratts18
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Horrible gw for me. WC in gw33 to get 15 doublers for 34 with bb. Mitoma didn't start, March didn't return in a 6-0, Estu saved some blushes with 9pts. Now, Bernardo on bench, Martial on bench. Zouma injured yesterday. FML

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Oof that's rough, dude. Hope it picks up!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Unlucky

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Much the same here - Brighton blanks, Jota, KDB and even better - Henry on the winning side brought me zero points!

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haaland double points incoming at least.

      2. pratts18
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ya bro

  13. Old Wulfrunian

    What would you do here?

    Sanchez
    TAA/Estupinan/Trippier
    Salah/Mahrez/Mitoma/Grealish/Rashford
    Haaland/Jota

    Iversen/Lindelof/Gnonto/Burn
