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.

Leeds United XI: Darlow, Justin, Bijol, Struijk, Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson, Aaronson, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin.

    Okafor!!!

  2. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Assume most on FH have Okafar?

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Doubt it

    2. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      No

    3. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Nope -_-. Or had him in a 352, took him out to get double Bournemouth def in a 442

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      DCL was the template pick. I chose Okafor over him on WC.

    5. mrtapio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      I have Okafor on FH. But only because he's a differential. Think Darlow + one defender + DCL was the template. So no, most on FH do not have Okafor.

    6. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Very few on here, so probably tiny ownership overall. Bit annoying though as I had him until I remembered we’re in the defcon era and that 3 at the back is no longer acceptable

  3. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Okafor!!!!!!!

  4. Lucas8406
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Okafor and Justin absolute fpl masterstroke

  5. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Lol two Leeds goals and returns for nobody

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

      You call me nobody?

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        Well done for going against the crowd! Which one you have of the 4, okafor?

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

          My team is linked

    2. Lucas8406
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Try having both Justin and Okafor

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        Seer

  6. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    of course I went for Palmer over Okafor

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

      Easy to have both tbh.

  7. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Okafor A+G!!! And I was afraid of not having DCL 😉

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Glorious. Congrats!

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Excellent move

    3. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Good work

    4. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Well in mate I went Okafor & Welbeck over Gomes and DCL - early days yet, but a great start.

  8. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Wow - one of Spurs, West Ham & Forest are going down

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Hopefully Forest. It would serve the owner right.

    2. Raoul Nogues
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Unless something changes dramatically, it will be Spurs

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Most bench booster won’t have Okafor. Lovely

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Most free hitters neither

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Ultimate differential

  10. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    No-one would've considered Okafor until he scored 2 last week. Still, well played if you brought him in.

  11. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    0 returns... useless game

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Doesn't matter if you target the correct games, your players will still get f all every time

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        Yup

        1. FplmorelikeFml
          • 2 Years
          3 months, 5 days ago

          Thank you Bobby Digital for advising me to go with Justin, you beautiful man!

  12. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Justin 6 defcons
    Bijol and Struijk both on 1, classic!

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Ofc

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        Wtf Okafor on 7 already... -_- should've kept him in my FH. But the uncertainty of him starting both tricked me.

    2. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      New levels of hilarity reached

  13. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Come on DCL!!

  14. Boberella
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    I have Okafor on a FH, but my ML rival has gone 1 further and captained him! Haaland is going to blank this week isn’t he!

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Justin 8 defcons already

  16. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Tavernier G
    Rayan A

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Another two I don't have noooo ha

    2. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Points at last!

  17. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Now you get an assist Rayan??? When I remove you from my team when I play FH -_-. Not the other 6 GWs I've kept you???

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Same

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Tavernier!!

  19. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Late switch Tavernier to Scott for the diff 🙄

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Same here 🙁

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

        Me too... At least I kept Okafor over DCL.

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Tav

  21. Voronins Pony Tail
    • 2 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Really enjoying having Tavernier first on the bench, Scott in the team and taking Okafor out the team 5 mins before the deadline.

    Wonderful.

  22. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Can't even celebrate Tav goal because ML leader has Rayan as well

  23. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Can’t stand Boyd. By the time he’s finished shouting at 100 mph, I still have no idea what has happened, or who scored. He should only be allowed to get involved with Scottish games… McCoist too 😡

  24. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Gomez off
    Mane on

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Which one?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        Nuno

    2. Raoul Nogues
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Gomes (Angel)

  25. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Ampadu over Aaronson
    Scott over Tavernier

    Great decisions :/

  26. Rwilliams90
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    I've just checked my team and the bench boost hasn't been played even though I'm absolutely sure I played it. All of my Bournemouth and Leeds players are on there including Tavernier. I'm in the top 10k and top of all of my money leagues. I honestly feel like free crying.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Did you play it immediately when you could? Or waited until close to deadline?

      1. Rwilliams90
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        Earlier in the week

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 5 days ago

          Should always double check, I had a close one on WC

  27. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Tavernier plus Rayan double up babyyyy

  28. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Owned rayans blanks for weeks, now gets assist after shipping him out !

  29. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Unfortunately wildcarding in 32 with BB33 meant Okafor was not in the discussion at the time. Ideal for the free hitters though.

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Still didnt shove him in on WC

      1. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        FH sorry

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      Only really made himself an option last week. Been pretty poor before then

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

        2 goals in two previous games

  30. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Bijol over Justin is annoying
