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.

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

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

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

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

              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.

        5. Raoul Nogues
            23 hours, 59 mins ago

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

            • 15 Years
            23 hours, 52 mins ago

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

                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.

              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

            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

            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!

                23 hours, 36 mins 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.

                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!
