Gameweek 37 comes to a conclusion this evening with two more Premier League matches.

Crystal Palace v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester City v Bournemouth both get underway at 20:00 BST.

The match at Selhurst Park is a bit of a dead rubber, but the other fixture is of huge importance in the race for the Champions League – if Pep Guardiola’s side win or draw at the Etihad, they move up to third.

Guardiola makes four changes to his line-up.

Ederson, Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic and Ilkay Gundogan come in, with Stefan Ortega, Nico O’Reilly, Savinho and Jeremy Doku ousted.

As for Bournemouth, two changes see Julian Araujo and Justin Kluivert replace Adam Smith and Alex Scott.

At Selhurst Park, Oliver Glasner has made six alterations to his starting XI.

Joel Ward, Ben Chilwell, Jefferson Lerma, Will Hughes, Romain Esse and Eddie Nketiah all come into the team.

    Robot off for service

      6 months, 19 days ago

      Well that punt has failed

      Hopefully they'll reboot him before Sunday

    2. Fifa las vegas

      They should’ve went full service rather than just chancing an oil change last time

  2. have you seen cyan

    Shocking from Haaland, 0.05% xg last week, 0.11% this week. Tempted to hit him out.

  3. Qaiss

    Eze and Mateta on

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Oh no, why Glasner?!

  4. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Not sure what to do with him now

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Could have had Wissa instead

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Soler start v Leicester?

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Almost Cunha G, RAN A

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Almost everything. Get out of my team

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Haha I know

      2. Sun God Nika

        Looool

  7. fantasist

    6 months, 19 days ago

    Do you think TAA will start next game or he'll be benched again?

    1. noissimbus
      • 3 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      If I was Slot, I'd start Bradley as much as I can.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I highly doubt he gets 60. I assume he starts and comes off around 53 or something.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      50/50

      Thinking he comes on for a few mins at the end most likely as he’s not going to be there next season

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        Thought last game at Anfield, nothing to play for, despite the boos he might be given a start

  8. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    30 points in front in my league.
    No chips left.
    Can I relax now?

    Alisson
    Gvardiol Munoz Saliba (Milenkovic Greaves)
    Salah Saka Mbuemo Bowen (Rogers)
    Isak Watkins Wissa

    Arrgh Sarr over Eze in GW30 WC has killed my top 10k chances

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Sarr over Ear on wildcard was an absolute disaster. Eze found fork at just the wrong time.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Jinx

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      He found fork and I found forked

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        No, he forked you over

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 months, 19 days ago

          Indeed

    And my rival gets Eze goal what the hell?!

    Going Sarr over Eze turned out so bad

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      100%

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      It’s not even possible to turn out as bad as it has, crazy

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I went both

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      I will sound like captain hindsight here, but Eze hitting form was a bit predictable. Many had Sarr before Eze hit form though, so they were unlucky.

      If you looked at Eze's goals this season compared to previous, there was a good chance he might got on a run, particularly as Palace normally finish well. Last season he had 10 goals, and about 4 weeks ago or so he only had 2..

      IDK why people got Sarr again after he trolled earlier in the season.

      1. TallestJohn
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 19 days ago

        It's not so much that Eze's done well, more that he's got more goal involvements than Mateta, Sarr and Muñoz combined since GW30, despite playing fewer minutes than the latter two in that period.

  18. Qaiss
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Oh ffs why did Glasner bring him on

    Eze and Bowen killed my season

  19. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Eze! Woo wee, baby! Didn't even realise he'd come on.

  20. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Cmon Cunha score a goal plz

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Feel like these Eze returns have to be a joke?

  22. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Ruben on 1bps. HOLD!

  23. iFash@FPL
    • 1 Year
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Esse or Eze??

    1. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Eze, he came on for Esse 🙂

  24. Effe
    • 15 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Come on Munoz give me an assist or something

  25. F4L
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    pretty disappointing performance from bournemouth, expected more. Would you go Livra over Kerkez for the last gw now it looks like Bournemouth have checked out?

  26. Qaiss
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 19 days ago

    Bournemouth and Wolves had all this extra rest and haven’t even turned up

  27. Mr. O'Connell

    What happened to Foden this season?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      That is a very, very interesting question - for next season.

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 19 days ago

      Pep couldn’t build a system around him with Rodri injured so showed he’s a bang average player
