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.

      If only there was a way to subtract his 13 points from last week. Still kicking myself for not holding him on WC last week. But hey, on the bright side I saved myself a transfer.

          KDB is a cheat code.... I think I trust more Tarko than VVD (or any Liverpool asset) at the moment

                It isn't the opponents GKer that's been the issue for DCL tbf.

              Was annoyed as got him in GW31 but knew Gordon wouldn’t play (or at least start) so got Palmer in for a -4

                Hasn't been going well for you ever since you smashed virgin behind Neale's back.

              Thoughts on the WC I went with? Will FH34, BB35 and TC36. Kept Gab to save a transfer and buying him back for 0.5 more.
              BB35 will be Darlow, Struik & DCL v BUR and Dango v West Ham

              Darlow
              O'Reilly - Senesi - Hill - Strujk
              Semenyo - Palmer - Tav 
              Haaland - Pedro - DCL

              Raya - Bruno - Dango - Gabriel

            • JBG
              • 7 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              DCL immediately misses a chance

                4 days, 12 hours ago

                At least he’s getting chances. I expect him to do well over the two games

              DCL with a big chance

              Missed

                .10xg still a big chance?

            • Pompel
              • 12 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Anything less than three cs today will be a huge letdown

                • 7 Years
                4 days, 12 hours ago

                How about 2/3, with Brighton getting pumped 4-2 and Welbeck getting 2 goals, with no assists?

                1. Pompel
                  • 12 Years
                  4 days, 12 hours ago

                He'll probably bag a hat trick in mid week v your 2 or 3 Bournemouth defenders

                Thought he would be more popular after the Utd game

                  He was on nobody's radar before the United match.
