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.

      I took him as a differential and for sécurity of starts, did not expect much of DCs
      against Wolves

    Where did bloody Okafor come from?
    Utterly ruined my WC, that could have been so much better

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

      He did brace vs MU. Didn't you watch the game or check the result?

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

        Don't go too far with the gloating

  8. #1 Arne Engels Fan

    3 months, 5 days ago

    This Leeds game has a scrappy Wolves 84th min consolation goal written all over it

  9. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    People were debating between Bijol and Struijk.... of course James Justin was the one

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

      There's always one or two who get overlooked during these GWs

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

      It’s only a quarter of the DGW gone. Too early to be calling successes and fails.

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

        Precisely. I will take an Ampadu 3 pointer today with a fixture to go.

        15 doublers averaging an 8 point return is happy days for me.

  10. Raoul Nogues
    3 months, 5 days ago

    If Angel Gomes and Armstrong are both out, Leeds CS feels less secure

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

    I always thought Tavernier was pronounced Ta-vern-eeay as if it was French, but it appears to be Tavern-eer. 😳

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

      Same

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

        Even funnier as a Celtic fan his brother as Rangers captain I know him to be Tavern-eer the whole time but the Bournemouth one was always Ta-vern-eeay in my head 😆

        Never knew they weee brothers at the time but still.

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      It's Ta-ver-nee-a

      I saw someone pronounce on a stream recently as Tavern-ia who doesn't watch much football and that was the first time I'd heard it that way before

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Only 175,380 transfers in for Okafor

    Must admit I hardly considered him either

    I guess he's in the Tav slot so no real harm done

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

      Went scott over him

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

      Yeah no harm done at all

  13. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    If Leeds and Bournemouth are gonna concede, I hope they just get it over and done with soon.
    I personally hate seeing those CS points added to me team to be stripped away.
    But if they do somehow manage to both get cleanies, we are talking big points for us WCers.
    Let’s pray!

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      3 months, 5 days ago

      I like seeing the CSs added at 60. Just don't refresh if they concede. They can't take your points away if you don't refresh.

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 5 days ago

        🙂

  14. Brosstan

    Tav YC... from bad to worse..

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago

      He scored at least!

  15. Raoul Nogues
    3 months, 5 days ago

    Osula +Kroupi = Trippier

  16. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 5 days ago

    4 goals scored so far over the 2 fixtures I’ve had DCL, and not even so much as a measly assist. Defo the biggest disappointment of the WC that guy!

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

      He gets so many chances that you'd think he'll put in one or two, but nooo...

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

    Hill making Sensei look like a joke on the DCs ffs

    1. FC Hakkebøf

          • 14 Years

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 5 days ago
