Two of the Gameweek 33 ‘doublers’ are in action at 3pm BST this afternoon.

Leeds United kick off their Double Gameweek at home to bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Meanwhile, the first instalment of Bournemouth‘s Gameweek 33 double-header is a trip to Newcastle United.

TEAM NEWS

There are no starting XI shocks when it comes to Leeds and Bournemouth, as both sides are unchanged from Gameweek 32.

All the major Fantasy targets from these two sides start, then.

But there is a significant addition to the Leeds bench in the form of Joe Rodon, back way sooner than his initial return date of May. Daniel Farke had hinted at a “positive surprise” in Thursday’s presser.

As for these two clubs’ respective opponents, a bit more upheaval.

The headline news comes from the north-east, where Anthony Gordon misses out for Newcastle. The official reason is a “hip flexor” injury, but naturally, tongues will wag after recent rumours linking him with a move away from Tyneside.

Joelinton is suspended for the Magpies, while Jacob Murphy drops to the bench.

Jacob Ramsey, Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes all come back into the side but Dan Burn has to make do with substitute duty once again.

Burn is joined on the Newcastle bench by Bruno Guimaraes, back from a two-month lay-off.

As for Leeds’ opponents, Wolves, they make two alterations, both enforced.

Yerson Mosquera begins a two-match ban, while Jose Sa misses out through injury. The Portuguese ‘keeper travelled with Rob Edwards’ squad but failed a late fitness test.

Toti Gomes and Dan Bentley take their places.

    Truffert on my BB, nice diff! Hill and Tavernier, Darlow and DCL! Not bad of a start if Leeds can hang on. Ever since Hill got into 11 Senesi became pretty much irrelevant. Thank you Truff 🙂 And thank you Dominic!!!!!

    We all got fooled by the defcon picks. The value was in the fullbacks.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      8 hours, 1 min ago

      Only one fullback has done anything?

    2. JohnnyB10

      Why two center backs? Just don’t get it, defcon okay, but fullback is a fullback always! Justin an example too.

      I used to play badminton with a guy called Gordon who swore so much that everyone in the league called him “effing Gordon”. True story

    The luck involved for DCL to get a pen in extra time, considering how crap he is in general

      Does Tanaka take all Leeds corners / free kicks. Just wondering as he appears pretty poor at it?

      Gabriel (NEW) next week is a decent captain shout against a team that can't defend or score many.

      1. JohnnyB10
        • 1 Year
        7 hours, 46 mins ago

        7 hours, 44 mins ago

        Pedro hasn’t played yet, not quite the philosopher are you.

      Sooooo a full blown GW32 BB was the way to go?

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        7 hours, 32 mins ago

        Yes if Brighton produce the goods

    17. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      7 hours, 29 mins ago

      It's actually too soon to say if WC32 was the play. Brighton, Bruno & Gabriel flopping could still happen
