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.

    So for next week freehit: 3 Liverpool, 3 Newcastle, 3 Bournemouth and 2 Wolves?
    Presumably ManUtd will be resting their few 'big guns' for European games?

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Maybe some Fulham too

  2. Free Hat
    • 7 Years

    Almost Kdb goal. Cleared off the line.

  3. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Ffs get out of the way

  4. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    FFS can't even enjoy differential kdb as H2H rival has him captain

  5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Half time and 1 goal, wow

  6. g40steve

    3. JBG
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Palace continues to deliver... where's that Palace fan who said they will do good over this period?

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Reffing's a Joke, both should be down to 10, games a borefest

    5. DropkickMurphys
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      He barely touched to Kluivert’s arm, epic dive. Didn't give to Scott earlier either, bad refereeing from totally neutral point of view.

    6. Dubem_FC
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      What has happened to Palace? Mateta injury took all their form and luck?

  7. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Palace 10men

  8. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Palace down to ten

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Got 9 players and 1 ft for gw 34.

    Hardly worth using FH then or?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I'd save it for GW36.

  10. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Red card at Palace v Bournemouth

    1. AC/DC AFC

      Chris Richards off

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        He’ll be enjoying his “Summer Holiday” now.

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        The only positive is that Henderson may get save point now.

  11. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Best league in the world fellas

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      1. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Haha yeah possibly that hehe

  12. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    The Palace triple up gravy train rolls on

  13. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    That’s Mateta half time sub and one pointer nailed then

  14. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Oh but Richards gets a 2nd yellow now after letting Scott off, terrible ref.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      That’s the refs for you shocking

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yep, his first was never a yellow (BBC Radio commentators saying the same)

  15. Quality Quality Qualit
    • 17 Years

    Mateta fail once more GTFO out of my team

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Is he subbed BEFORE half time??

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    why did Pep feel the need to change what worked so well against Palace, ffs

  18. tmstrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Bringing in AWB to boost my bench was another stroke of genius on my end. Not even chasing in my mini-leagues.

    Three major regrets:
    - Removing Wood last minute before GW1
    - Not having Mbeumo at any point
    - AM instead of TC GW24

    Next season..

  19. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Such terrible refereeing. Just making it up as they go. Brutal.

  20. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Not feeling great about my TC Marmoush

  21. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Welbz G

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Back of the Brentford net

      A few went Collins

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    BHA GOAL

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Danny boy

  23. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    The quality of a league isn't determined by the amount of goals scored. Spurs and United, 15th and 14th and both in the Europa semis.

  24. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Wellbeck goal

  25. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    So didn’t have $ Mbeumo which I wanted and made Savinho to Bowen which both blank right now, sounds about right for my luck

  26. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Welbeck G

  27. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    All goals coming in the SGW match

  28. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Imagine Salah being a differential captain in a week he plays the worst team in the PL

  29. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Well, that's Sarr and Mateta substituted at half time. What poor transfers Palace players have been.

  30. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Boring games. 1/4 of Marmoush's game time blanking. Liking that as a Saka (c).
