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

    Meat pie sausage roll, come on Rayan give us a goal

      There she is

  2. Feanor

    Semenyo captain punt cost me at least 10

    Going Iwobi to Scott instead of to Gross cost me 13

    At least Dalot to Van Hecke was a good transfer

  3. Count of Monte Hristo

    Man City of old would have ruthlessly battered Burnley and piled more pressure on Arsenal.

    1. Jafooli

      Shows what a big miss Rodri is…

  4. Gubby-Allen

    Got up to 110 briefly then the lost clean sheets for Leeds and Bournemouth sent me back.

      Thanks Gubby, I’ve made a note in mine foolscap folder!

    Robot volley over the bar

  6. Gubby-Allen

    Two defcon points for Scott

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Great

  7. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Smash and grab by Burnley here would be epic

  8. JBG
    • 7 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Semenyo C -_-.
    107pts and barely a green arrow though

  9. Ady87

    My rival using no chips or transfers this week is on 105 + bonus from today. I played Gordon/Pedro in a Bench Boost and he started MGW.

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Who has his points for 105?

      Why would you not play any chip, is it active?

  10. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Gloves in the last week of April?

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Is that a Smiths song?

  11. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Has to be Cherki over Semenyo on WC now, I guess

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      I would be tempted with both and then one of Haaland or O Reilly.

      If you use the Haaland money rightly, then for five games it could be a differential.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        1 day, 1 hour ago

        Don’t think I’m brave enough for that! Still planning to TC Haaland in dgw36

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    1 more save Darlow

    Senesi where’s the DC gone?

  13. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

    No use to us

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Double Leeds defence.

  19. JBG

    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Seriously Rayan fck right off... now you score and assist

  20. Sun Jihai

    • 14 Years

    Couldn't be a much worse result for FPL this lol
    Nothing for Tav, DCL, both teams concede, Hill OG
    Defcons and Senesi A help a bit

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      No way to sugar coat it, it’s been a big steaming pile of poop that game for FPL

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Darlow, Struijk, DCL Tav, Hill. Awful result, as was yesterday.

  21. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    These two combos cost the exact same amount. Which scores more until the end of the season?

    A) Saliba and Casemiro

    B) Mukiele and Rice

    *worth noting that they wouldn't have to play every game, as the squad is deep, which makes the decision harder

  22. NZREDS
    • 12 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    @thebiffas wish granted

  23. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    City just spraying shots past the post and over the bar. What a waste.

  24. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
