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.

      Revenge for the Leeds bank holiday invasion of Bournemouth 30 odd years ago?!

      Or was that Brighton?

    C'mon get involved Solanke

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lerma again. Solanke nowhere.

        Lerma Schlerma!

  3. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Bournemouth with a second goal.

    Deep trouble for Leeds

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

      Lerma again

  4. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Seeing that Haaland EO, wasn’t it actually better to go with Salah(c)?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What a question

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      If Salah blanks twice, sure. He's the better option.

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If Salah outscore haaland, sure worse option?

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Care more about cash MLs over rank
      Even if I knew his EO was over 200% before start of GW I still would captain haaland.

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        But if you are behind what does it help you?

        1. Shultan
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Leading both, don't care about overall rank

          1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Then it's got nothing to do with rank. Leaders must go haaland regardless of rank. Most others should go Salah no matter what the leaders say. Of course you want your ml to follow you lol

    4. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      If you are protecting rank Haaland

      If chasing salah

    5. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The best is to go with the one that scores the most points. Very simple.

  5. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lerma brace

  6. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    knew i shoulda C Lerma 😉

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

    That’s Leeds done for

  8. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lerma 2

  9. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leeds are going down bruh

  10. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What happened to Leeds? They looked OK at the start of the season, but have completely unravelled.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Should've stuck with Marsh. He probably would've kept this up.

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

      Third season syndrome.

      Shocking management in the board room into the dugout and across the squad.

  11. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lerma was the mid to get this GW

  12. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ffs Solanke, do something

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bournemouth coasting. Might get a rest soon.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Off before 60 for sure

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Options for Kane replacement were Alvarez, Antonio, Toney and I got the worst one who will blank

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Correct

  13. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Shaw is such an unexciting pick

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Problem is I had him before injuries to Martinez and Varane. Strange decision for folks that picked him after the injuries when Dalot is the better pick

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      There are no exciting defenders anymore. The likes of TAA, Robbo, and Cancelo are history.

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    And it keeps growing...

    20 - Leeds United have conceded 20 Premier League goals this April, equalling the record for goals conceded in a single month in the competition's history, set by Leeds themselves in February 2022. Groundhog.

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Meanwhile Haaland has tied the Premiership goal record in a season. It's a day for records being tied and possibly beaten.

  15. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Will need this DGW just to shoot a barely average score for a normal GW

  16. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Grealish bar 🙁

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Score already plz

  17. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Grealish sitter

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Harsh to call that a sitter. Was a great save.

  18. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Omg Grealish will never score again

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Tough watch this as a non Grealish owner - big score coming I think

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I think you said Jota wasn't injured either, so taken with a pinch of salt.

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      God I hope not

  20. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    FFS Ederson and Grealish

  21. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Great save by Leno.

  22. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    City just don’t do cleanies

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No Cancelo, no CS.

  23. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leeds get a goal back.

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bamford

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good for Solanke bonus prospects. Unless he's scored an own goal.

  24. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Come on my fpl players, do something!

  25. Gizzachance
