Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) kicks off with four fixtures at 3pm BST, including the match that dominated pre-deadline discussion on site: Southampton v Manchester City.

The rumours were true about Erling Haaland starting, with the Norwegian set for his first appearance since Gameweek 29.

And the pre-deadline speculation about a benching for Omar Marmoush and a start for Kevin De Bruyne were also spot-on.

In total, Pep Guardiola has made five changes to his line-up today.

Haaland, Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, James McAtee and Phil Foden come in, with Marmoush, Nico O’Reilly, Matheus Nunes, Jeremy Doku and Ilkay Gundogan ousted.

As for Southampton, their three changes see Welington, Tyler Dibling and James Bree replace Kyle Walker-Peters, Ryan Manning and Ross Stewart.

There’s just one alteration across the two sides at Portman Road, where Ipswich Town take on unchanged Brentford.

Axel Tuanzebe replaces Luke Woolfenden for the hosts.

At Molineux, Vitor Pereira brings in Goncalo Guedes for Jeanricner Bellegarde in his only tweak.

Brighton and Hove Albion are missing Lewis Dunk, so in comes Adam Webster. Tariq Lamptey and Yasin Ayari also replace Jack Hinshelwood and Simon Adingra.

Finally, at Craven Cottage, there are five changes across the two sides.

Andreas Pereira and Emile Smith Rowe get recalls, with Saka Lukic and Antonee Robinson both missing out. Ryan Sessegnon will move back to left-back.

Ashley Young, Jack Harrison and Abdoulaye Doucoure replace Nathan Patterson, Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil for the Toffees.

      With the KDB switch I'll need Mbeumo to stay quiet today ....

      Wissa can go for it tho.

      Why the regret? Huge gains if he bangs.

  6. Haa-lala-land

    where Haaland points

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Under his name. 1

  7. Egg noodle

    kdb outscoring haaland today would be rude

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

      He's already bashing them in

      Probably need Haaland on the end of some tho.

    Mbuemo and wissa hardly touched it

    Look like they are on the beach

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      At least you know they're both bound for 90+mins so there's time

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Brentford as a team typically score most of their goals in the 2nd half anyway. I wouldn't be concerned with 0-0 at HT

  9. Silecro

    1 year, 1 month ago

    Gvardiol extremely advanced again at LB, getting in box like every occasion. Surely gets attacking return here

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      What has happened to that Everton defence recently? Apparently Tarkowski was the key I guess
