Double Gameweek 33, the largest of this Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season, is about to conclude with two matches involving lots of currently popular assets: Bournemouth v Leeds United, and Burnley v Manchester City.

Both kick off at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

FPL notes: “Amazing” Rayan, £4.2m goalkeeper starts + Summerville scores again

Apart from Burnley’s three adjustments that bring Josh Laurent, Bashir Humphreys and Loum Tchaouna in for Marcus Edwards, Lesley Ugochukwu and Florentino Luis, there are very few changes to the lineups.

In fact, by replacing the slightly injured Rodri with Rayan Ait-Nouri, Man City have seemingly moved Nico O’Reilly into central midfield.

That’s their only change, as Bournemouth’s one alteration brings in David Brooks for Rayan.

Opponents Leeds have the same XI from Saturday’s 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Therefore, centre-back Joe Rodon begins on the bench.

Following Chelsea’s shock Tuesday team news, FPL owners should be pleased to see starts for Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo, Rayan Cherki, Marcus Tavernier, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Justin, Jaka Bijol, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Marcos Senesi and James Hill.


LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic; Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Scott, Christie; Brooks, Kroupi Jr, Tavernier; Evanilson

Subs: Mandas, Gannon-Doak, Adams, Smith, Diakite, Adli, Toth, Rayan, Unal

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

Subs: Perri, Rodon, Bornauw, Longstaff, James, Buonanotte, Gnonto, Piroe, Nmecha 


Burnley XI: Dubravka; Walker, Esteve, Ekdal, Humphreys, Hartman; Anthony, Ward-Prowse, Laurent, Tchaouna; Flemming

Subs: Weiss, Worrall, Ugochukwu, Foster, Edwards, Florentino, Lucas Pires, Broja, Tresor 

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, Ait-Nouri; Bernardo, O’Reilly; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Marmoush, Kovacic, Nico, Savinho, Foden

    Watching “Norwegian Strikers” on PL channel now. What a wave of great footballers that was in the 90s. Tore Andre Flo, Solskjaer, Haaland’s dad and many others! Pure nostalgia 🙂

    Would you keep mbeumo if declared fit , or sell for rice ?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig

      Keep if definitely fit

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

        23 hours, 57 mins ago

        Cheers. Would be nice to have 4 fts ahead of gw35

  8. Eddie Nketamine

    Have 8 okay ish playing players for BGW34, 2FT so would need -4 hit to get 11 out.
    Also have BB and TC left to use.

    The plan was to WC GW35, however I may go a week early to get this team and save transfers. City and palace players for the double with potential to bring Sarr in later, can’t afford Munoz sadly unless downgrade VVD to Tarkowski.

    Thoughts? 0.0m ITB

    Raya
    Gabriel, Virgil, Mukiele, Canvot
    BrunoF(C), Szoboszlai, Casemiro, KDH
    Bowen, Thiago

    Henderson, O’Reilly, Cherki, Haaland

    Canvot and Szob could be Richards and Rice/Eze

    Or Mukiele to Alderete and Szob to Rogers

    Should I go for the wildcard?

    1. Yoshimiwinz
