With no lunchtime kick-off, Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway with four matches at 3pm BST.

Manchester City begin their Double Gameweek 33 with a trip to unchanged Everton.

Pep Guardiola makes four alterations, one of which is enforced as the injured Ederson makes way for Stefan Ortega.

Matheus Nunes, Bernardo Silva and Savinho also get recalls, with Rico Lewis, James McAtee and Mateo Kovacic dropping out.

Phil Foden and Manuel Akanji are both on the bench after recovering from injury.

Crystal Palace, another side who ‘double’ in Gameweek 33, have largely named the same team that started the 5-0 defeat at Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Adam Wharton for Jefferson Lerma is the only alteration.

Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola welcomes back Justin Kluivert from injury and recalls Illia Zabarnyi, with Marcos Senesi and Lewis Cook the men replaced.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is absent from the West Ham United squad today, while Oliver Scarles and Konstantinos Mavropanos drop to the bench.

Niclas Fullkrug, Vladimir Coufal and Emerson Palmieri all start for the Hammers.

Flynn Downes for Cameron Archer is Southampton’s only alteration.

Finally, at Brentford, Michael Kayode gets his full Premier League debut at Kristoffer Ajer‘s expense.

Kaoru Mitoma is only fit enough for substitute duty for Brighton and Hove Albion, who recall Jan Paul van Hecke and Mats Wieffer for Simon Adingra and Yasin Ayari.

  12. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  14. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    Yeah, should have kept Kerkez. If only I knew Chris Richards planned to get a red card today.

  20. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    Nevermind, Marmoush will score at home as always. Captained for the Villa game anyway.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 days ago

      At least 1 goal

  21. Sgt. Schultz

      The Danish Connection.

  22. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    4-2 Brentford, thankfully no Mbeumo involvement

  23. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    why mancity celebrating like they won the league?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Step closer to securing Champions League

  24. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years

    KDB captain fail. Can't see him starting next game :'(

  25. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    Lol started Areola over kepa

    That last goal was almost as hilarious as the asensio pen misses last week

  26. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    At least I still have Saka (C), a brace off the bench on both occasions will do

  27. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    Van Hecke lucky boy. Surely a Red

  28. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    Kerkez (bench boost) and Munoz with clean sheets at least despite that referee debacle.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 days ago

      Nice..own those two and Mbeuno

  29. gooberman

    54pts with 17 to play.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 days ago

      Well done! How on earth have you managed that? Clean sheets and Mbeumo?

      22 on BB here

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 days ago

        Double Palace defence, Mbuemo and Wissa and on BB. Marmoush (c) the only blemish.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 days ago

      Nice, on 44 with 18 to go!

    3. Feloh

      1 year, 3 days ago

      Where did you get 57 pts from?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 3 days ago

        Mbeumo and Wissa like all of us!

      2. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 days ago

        54. Double Palace defence, Mbuemo and Wissa.

  30. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 days ago

    10 points for Areola would have been a great start on bench boost. What a sickener

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 days ago

      Hard luck.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 days ago

      Still gets a decent return in all fairness
