Two more Premier League matches follow on from Arsenal’s defeat to Bournemouth, both kicking off at 3pm BST.

Two of the Gameweek 33 doublers, Burnley and Brighton and Hove Albion, meet at Turf Moor.

Simultaneously, in west London, Brentford host Everton.

TEAM NEWS

Starting with the team news from in-demand Brighton, Fabian Hurzeler has made two changes from the Seagulls’ last outing in Gameweek 31.

Both are enforced as Lewis Dunk is suspended and James Milner has picked up an injury.

Olivier Boscagli and Yasin Ayari come into the side.

Diego Gomez and Yankuba Minteh keep their places on the flanks, which means more bench duty for Kaoru Mitoma.

Danny Welbeck leads the line again.

As for Burnley, Scott Parker responds to the defeat to Fulham by making four changes. He’s had his hand forced with two of them, as Hannibal Mejbri and Josh Laurent are absent through injury and suspension.

Lesley Ugochukwu, Marcus Edwards, Hjalmar Ekdal and Florentino Luis all start, while Kyle Walker and Lyle Foster are benched.

There are two alterations for Brentford for the visit of Everton.

Two players affected by injury in Gameweek 31, Dango Ouattara and Mikkel Damsgaard, are back in the side.

Ethan Pinnock moves down to substitute duty, while Jordan Henderson misses out entirely.

David Moyes has made only one change from Everton’s 3-0 win over Chelsea.

It comes at the back as Jarrad Branthwaite gets the nod over Michael Keane, who drops to the bench.

      I would keep him tbh

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      I’m just keeping. There’s no DGW defender that’s worth the transfer and Gabriel continues to be the best DF in FPL from now til the end of the season.
      Transfers will be really valuable in the coming weeks to get in Crystal Palace players and players like Gordon too

      1. Skout
        • 6 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        Not interested in maybe a Gusto or someone?

      Looks alright to me. 8 DGWers and the likes of Bruno & Sboz to make up the numbers.

  4. Sgt. Schultz

  10. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Pain

  11. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Let the ‘sold him on wild’ commence.

    Let me be the first to say it too!

  12. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    20 goals for Thiago. Glad i kept him on WC

  13. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Ball’s split

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      That’s what she said

  14. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Brighton saved by the flag

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      Or have they.. ?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        Offside. Just

  15. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Had Bowen and Thiago but played WC. Couldn't have gone any worse. And i dont know why I kept Gabriel

    1. DeSelby
      • 3 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      Season over. On WC. So far every decision I've made has been a disaster. Just waiting for Burnley to score 4 goals...

  16. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Wellbeck should probably have scored then from a Minteh assist

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Shiteeeee

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      Phewww

  18. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Thiago lovely

    The generic CC WC takes another hit

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      We need to get some advantage against them. Next week is red arrow vs BB teams.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        I will be on BB but used WC in 24. Fancy Thiago to do well next week too

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          5 days, 5 hours ago

          Yep keeping Thiago and probably BBing him with Gabriel and Bruno

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        I wouldn’t be so sure. There will probably be plenty of unpredicted rotation, injury and random benchings.

  19. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    C’mon Zian, bust those filthy Brighton cs points for all the wc’ers!

  20. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    My Gabriel and Thiago punishing sellers 😎

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      I kept Gabby but 4pter hardly punishing anyone

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        They haven’t discovered the 3 hidden dc yet 😉

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        Fair point. Best defender in the game though. Surely people need him for the rest of the season

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 days, 5 hours ago

          April is arsenal implosion month though. Might sell Gabriel in 33

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      5 days, 5 hours ago

      Glad I kept thiago.

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    NDiaye defcons needed to save my season

    1. Peteex
      • 13 Years
      5 days, 4 hours ago

      Are those possible 2 points some magicpoints or why are those so important?

  22. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Worryingly, Burnley looking the more threatening out of the 2 teams so far

  23. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Pep

  24. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Thiago and Bowen's combined GW32 points could wipe out next week's BB points

    1. FPL DONKEY
      • 8 Years
      5 days, 4 hours ago

      If Calvert-Lewin (mun) and Joao Pedro (MCI) blank, we're laughing

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        5 days, 4 hours ago

        Yup. Burnley scoring and stopping Brighton attackers would be the cherry on the cake. Early days but feeling good about FH33 and WC35

  25. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    5 days, 5 hours ago

    Wellbeck just missed an absolute sitter from a Hinshelwood pass

    1. Raoul Nogues
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        Minteh ?

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          5 days, 4 hours ago

          Commentators said Wellbeck, but I was thinking it was Minteh 🙂

        2. Raoul Nogues
            5 days, 4 hours ago

            (For the miss)

      • JBG
        • 7 Years
        5 days, 5 hours ago

        Benched Dubravka for Roefs, worried he will actually keep a CS here.

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          5 days, 5 hours ago

          Doubt it. Burnley always find a way to concede

      • Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 days, 4 hours ago

        Kelleher is genuinely World class

      • Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 days, 4 hours ago

        Kelleher brilliant double save

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          5 days, 4 hours ago

          Second one was offside so won’t count.

      • Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        5 days, 4 hours ago

        1-1

        Beto believe it
