A busy Sunday of Premier League football kicks off at 14:00 BST, with Aston Villa v Sunderland, Everton v Liverpool and Nottingham Forest v Burnley.

TEAM NEWS

Unai Emery makes three changes to the side that beat Bologna 4-0 on Thursday.

Tyrone Mings, Ian Maatsen and Ross Barkley come in for the benched Lucas Digne and Emiliano Buendia. Pau Torres misses out entirely.

Sunderland are unchanged from last weekend’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

In the Merseyside derby, Arne Slot makes four alterations to the side he sent out in Europe, with Andrew Robertson, Curtis Jones, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo in for Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Alexis Mac Allister, who drop to the bench. Hugo Ekitike is absent.

Alexander Isak retains his starting spot up top.

David Moyes names an unchanged Everton XI.

Finally, at the City Ground, Vitor Pereira has handed recalls to Matz Sels, Nikola Milenkovic, Elliot Anderson and Dilane Bakwa.

Stefan Ortega, Jair Cunha and Nicolas Dominguez are demoted to substitute duty. Dan Ndoye misses out.

There is just one change for ‘doublers’ Burnley from Gameweek 32.

Kyle Walker returns in place of Bashir Humphreys.

    Was about to bring in MGW for the BB, but the dog stole my phone and brought in Hinshelwood as a prank right before deadline. Unlucky.

    Fixtures really are everything on FH. Burnley at Home is better than most doubles

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Unless you have Anderson.

  10. Bigbars

    How does VVD get away with pulls and blocks so much.. Does he not actually like defending or tackling

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      He likes scoring goals

      1. Bigbars

      My bench without BB, really wish I went that over TC now, no way Haaland gets anywhere near matching that 😆

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Your bench is killing your playing 11 🙂

  20. g40steve
    • 8 Years

  21. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    my non fh team is killing it VVD, Rogers, Bruno

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      Bruno only got 6 points, nothing to get excited about.

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      Same plus Andersen
      Fpl dgw eh

  22. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    Fh dgw trap
    Took out vvd Andersen Bruno rogers ha

    Been better of using couple transfers using bb , saving fh !

  23. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    On FH but Bruno/Cunha/Dalot/VVD making it hard for me to enjoy (they are in my OG team)

  24. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    Is MGW essential on fh?
    midfield is salah xavi Wilson cunha bruno

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      Cunha is a single goal at best with a yellow card and no bonus, ditch him.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 days, 9 hours ago

        OK cheers will take out for mgw

  25. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    I'm liking the look of my 1st FH34 draft

    Vicario
    Gab VVD Porro
    Salah Bruno Cunha MGW
    Watkins Bowen Beto

    Roefs Mav Muk Zubi

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      *takes notes*

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      Definitely no Spurs double defence, I quite like Porro for attacking but Wolves will score.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 10 Years
        3 days, 9 hours ago

        Who else would you play in the GK spot? I feel Spurs probably have the best chance of CS and Kinsky is very cheap allowing more funds in the outfield positions where the real points are. Just realised I wrote Vicario when I meant Kinsky as well

  26. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    My two ft’s going into this gw was to sell VVD and Porro

  27. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    Who to play gwk34?

    A) Watkins
    B) Beto

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      Think I will have Bowen, Watkins, Beto and likely bench Beto with a 5 man midfield.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        3 days, 9 hours ago

        Yeah same , current draft is

        Raya
        Gabriel Saliba/Timber VVD
        Salah Bruno MGW Wilson Wirtz
        Watkins Bowen

        Roefs Beto Reinildo Heaven

  28. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    As I said yesterday, f**k this game

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      That is all

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 days, 9 hours ago

      Agree

  29. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    OMG -8 for MGW not looking too shabby. Morgan doing his best to save my BB from a disaster after Pedro & Gordon blanked

  30. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 days, 9 hours ago

    Salah KDH Wilson MGW Bruno

    Would you ditch anyone here for Rogers/Szobozlai/Ndiaye?
