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.

    What is up with Newcastle?
    Did they just think they could show up and win?

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

      They done an Arsenal

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Big half coming up for them.

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

      Soton almost beat Arsenal away a week ago...

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, and then reverted to type.

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

          Football isn't that simplistic.

          1. Bobby Crush
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            What are you referring to?

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

              There are far more factors involved in how a match goes, what is happening to a club, how the players are doing than some sort of 'type.'

              1. Bobby Crush
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                Right.

    3. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just a blip. Saudi officials will have this correctly shortly.

  2. Flying Dutchman
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Grealish has been a total flop after getting him in 3-4 weeks back

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

      Flying before everyone boarded the train

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I take no responsibility on decisions taken for your own team :mrgreen:

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He wouldn’t have started if KDB was fit anyway 😛

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Cheeky 😉

    2. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Did you get him?

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I told him not to. He said ok master and didn’t do it. He’s my b*tch

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

          😆

        2. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Kinky….

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nope, ended up with Robertson as a fourth def, for some reason 😀

    3. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      :X thought it was a bit harsh but didn't want to get involved

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

        Until now for some reason. Interesting...

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Need at least 11 years of FPL failing to be part of this thread, sorry Deulofail 😉

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

            Maybe I can tag on my Sky Sports, Sun, Telegraph, Facebook, etc, failings before that

            1. Jafooli
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              You’re back in, welcome…

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Last time I listen to Roja….ever

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          😛

  3. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can they just end the season already

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Noooo - not yet, want Leicester to swap places with Leeds first 😀

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        🙂

  4. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson on with isak

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wilson in GW36!

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Gordon has been such a poor transfer for Newcastle

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, offers nothing , just looked average in the eve team, Chel wanted him also!

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

        Nowhere near CL level

      3. Sure You Did
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He is utter garbage. Makes Rashford look like Messi.

      4. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Didn't need him to kick a ball for Newcastle to know it was a poor signing

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

    Wilson on
    Gordon off

  6. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Interesting to see who will get pens when both on

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

      Whoever has the lightest flow

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        ew

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

          Sexist

          1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            It's all about timing

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

              😆

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

    Haaland close would’ve been Grealish A

    1. UKG
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Should have had about three of those in the first half alone. Also the Haaland to Grealish off the bar…

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

    Realy annoyed at myself for taking brunos wife Instagram seriously & getting rid of bruno for grealish
    Horrible transfer.

  9. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Leno keeping Fulham in it

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Did naff all when I had him over Johnstone in FH32.

  10. TanN
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Laughable. Gordon pictured laughing at Everton after the newcastle win then starts against relegation bound Southampton, plays awfully and gets subbed off at half time.

    Is he the future Dele Alli?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      never got the hype, except he looks a little bit like John Lennon without his glasses

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

      Prime Alli was 10 times the player Gordon is.

      1. tokara
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This

    3. TanN
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      *and Wilson scores within 10 minutes

  11. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This week reminds me of the DGW27

  12. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson or isak for dgw 36?
    Already have double new

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Both

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Can’t have 4 new!

    2. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Neither

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

    Commentary on about stats from 1930, ffs games moved on since then.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Arsenal have won the league three times in a row under Herbert Chapman and Huddersfield town 3 times in a row before that 🙂

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

    Alvarez close

  15. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

  16. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No one.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    Heads Pereira & Akanji

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

    Villa look like scoring?

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No

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

    Towers should give the assist, he wasn’t looking at Wilson lol

  27. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    FH falling apart. A Jota no show would put the nail in the coffin

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

    Wilson is the real deal

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

      Until he gets injured

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Good form, even off the bench

  29. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Rashford, how did he miss that
