Bournemouth face Manchester United in the first of two Premier League matches to take place on Sunday.

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is at 14:00 BST.

Andoni Iraola names the same team that started the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 33.

That means Kepa Arrizabalaga, Milos Kerkez and Justin Kluivert, the only players on show with a double-digit ownership in the top 10k, all start.

Ruben Amorim makes five changes to his starting XI, however.

Harry MaguireLeny YoroLuke ShawCasemiro and Bruno Fernandes come in.

Victor Lindelof, Tyler Fredricson, Harry Amass, Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen drop to the bench.

  3. Bleh
    • 9 Years

    Anyone doing better than my bench score currently?

    Alison TBC, Bowen 9, Kerkez 6, Sessegnon 11.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Just the 19 from 2 for me so far (sa and kerkez)

    2. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Sanchez 8 Strand Larsen 6 Sessegnon 11 & Kerkez 6 for me

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        Add in further misery & a switch from SA to Leno last minute FH

        1. Bleh
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          Ah man that’s tough. So unlucky.

  4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Kluivert been a troll for me this season, just got him in on FH

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Same, don’t think I’ll be keeping.

  5. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Evanilson RC good for my double Arsenal defence next GW.

    1. Merlin the Wraith
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Will be appealed.

      1. BIGREDDOG

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Had the same thought, but could be appealed?

    3. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      He’ll play. That’s getting overturned

  6. wormface

    Otara bs k on the menu

  7. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Jesus that Spurs team. What do people really expect of Ange's Spurs when that's what they've got?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      They've benched half their first XI

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        LOL and they want to go to the FA and get the Villa game moved.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      I don't expect them to win every game. But I expect them to be tactically better. Ange plays too attacking a game and then is surprised when Spurs lose. What is worse is he doesn't change.

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        That's who we are mate

  8. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    That is never a red, granted I own Evanilson and sums it up. No free-hit, planned to save the chip.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      ref was desperate to get that red out. after yellows for adams and dorgu, anyone who went to ground and didnt get the ball was gonna be in trouble

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 months, 12 days ago

        He literally had to be told by VAR to give a red card

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 12 days ago

          then have the guts to stand by your decision. he had clear view of it. doesnt have to overturn, but was more than happy to

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 months, 12 days ago

            He saw a better view of it with the replay and deemed it a red card offence

            1. F4L
              • 11 Years
              10 months, 12 days ago

              right and people are saying its soft. he wanted to give a red, and got the chance and took it

    2. EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      It was to balance out the Adams one which should have been red in the 1st half and the Maguire penalty that they decided not to give.

  9. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Kluivert first and hopefully also last player blanking for me this week.

  10. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Semenyo has been such a huge troll to my team this year
    Had him since GW3, I think he blanked in every single good fixture while I benched him for his two double-digit hauls (Chelsea and Man City). Sell him on GW31 WC and he's on 30 points in 4 games!

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Yah, I hear that!

  11. AC/DC AFC

    • 10 Years

    Slightly odd team selections by Pep and Nunes too.

  12. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Where's Neco?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      suspended

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

      Neco Williams is suspended after being booked against Brighton & Hove Albion in the previous round.

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 12 days ago

        10 months, 12 days ago

  18. RICICLE
    • 3 Years

    Oh Man U, absolutely pathetic

  19. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 12 days ago

    Not sure if it got mentioned earlier but Bradley's not even in the Pool squad, picked up a knock apparently. Not mentioned in the presser by Arne tight lips.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years

      Probably in the training session after the Friday morning presser

    If chasing around 50 points in ML.. who are the good differentials in the last few game weeks?

    I’m thinking:
    Kudus for next gw (can’t quite stretch to Bowen unless I take a hit).
    Maybe a Everton mid
