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

    Is 45 points too much to catch up on ML leader?
    Will have to go differential on FH and hope someone like Eze, Salah, Gakpo haul.
    He has FH and TC left

      101 on Free Hit.

      Pedro, Palmer & Semenyo disappointments. Should have played Van Hecke. And should have gotten Rayan instead of Semenyo as he was in my draft, but got blinded by City DGW fever.
      Also should have gone one of each instead of three attackers, but hindsight is 20/20.

      All in all, i'm satisfied.

    Haaland TC could nearly be said to be a failure on that showing, could’ve leader had one more if not a hattrick.

    Feel hard done by not getting another Cherki return from that game too. 🙁

      I honestly dont hugely mind, 15pts is a perfectly acceptable TC score. Not setting the world alight, but 2 goals, full bonus, and 4 minutes points is certainly more than you would be expecting in any single week.

        Oh absolutely, but could’ve been so much more, even one more goal would’ve been nice. Had some in MLs go with the Gabriel TC a few weeks back so a monster TC score from Haaland would’ve been nice.

        But yeah still can’t complain

    133 points, however:

    - Haaland post
    - Senesi crossbar
    - Senesi assist ruled out
    - Hill own goal
    - O'Reilly sitter missed
    - Hinselwood sitter missed (yesterday)
    - Pedro/Palmer (yesterday)

    Could have been a mental score!

    Not disappointed btw, just fine margins.
    Lots of good variance too.
