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

    Please pick - thinking cunha?
    A) solanke (got porro)
    B) xavi (got porro)
    C) cunha (got bruno)
    D) Rogers (got watkins)

      I have Cunha, Watkins, Porro, Xavi, and Solanke first on the bench on FH. Had Rogers on the bench and Solanke to start, then switched Rogers to Cunha, going probably 3-5-2.

        Sounds good. Fancy cunha to score

          Got just enough money
          for Cunha, I think he can for sure, Xavi and Porro still better picks than Solanke who is okay for the bench. Ditched Virgil for Woodman so I can play Mavro along with Gab and Porro. Neco my 2nd sub. Just too many tough choices lol.

            Tripling up on the Spurs might be too much )

              Same here, just Xavi instead of Wilson as a differential

                  Cheers I think we will do okay and have a little fun on FH as well 🙂 Spurs still not convinced on them at all, but Porro and Xavi really looked good vs Brighton. Mavropanos, Woodman who covers Pool defense, why not!

      Inside 50k first in the season. Very happy since I was having a very bad rank till the mid of the season. Hoping for a big TC success.

      So there goes yet another dross evening of FPL action. Utterly pointless.

      Can't remember the last time this crap garbage game contributed positively to my life. Even this gw, getting 130+ points depending on baps, it's a negative score in all mini leagues.

      Someone please give me a good argument to keep playing this pos shite game

        130 is negative in MLs? My leagues must be shite so as few have broken the 100, we all have the same shite luck

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          21 hours, 34 mins ago

          Yes. Leaders in all leagues have 140+

              I'm or 370k so not even that high.. not making this up... in all money leagues there are several people above me with 140+ gw scores. Joke..

        So which one won in the end?

        BB33, FH33 or WC33?

          Can’t judge WC on one gameweek

          1. CoracAld2831
            • 5 Years
            21 hours, 43 mins ago

            Fair.

        2. AAAFootball
            21 hours, 44 mins ago

            FH if you played it well. TC did me well alright, WC seems pointless here. BB solid as well.

            1. Utopsis
              • 6 Years
              21 hours, 42 mins ago

              Someone in my league got 118 on WC

              1. AAAFootball
                  21 hours, 40 mins ago

                  Well played to them then. I'm guessing FH34 must be the plan, otherwise the WC really dead ends the team.

                  1. Utopsis
                    • 6 Years
                    21 hours, 38 mins ago

                    Yep must be

            2. Utopsis
              • 6 Years
              21 hours, 42 mins ago

              Most definitely BB.

              However, there is 1 point difference between myself and my rival over the last 2 GWs. I went normal 32, FH 33 / he went WC32, BB33 (and got 126 pts)

              My BB saved me.
              Got 28 PTS.

              20 from MGM

            Gordon, Pedro, Gabriel - 0
            Cash - 1
            Thiago, Palmer - 2

            Semenyo C

            Bench Boost. Can next season start already

            Thankfully we won't have to see Burnely in the league next year.

            How can you be guaranteed relegation with a defeat yet park the bus until the 86th minute before actually attempting to attack?

            They make Arteta's Arsenal look like the most entertaining side in history.

            1. Raoul Nogues
                21 hours, 15 mins ago

                They could have scored 4 in the first half

            2. AAAFootball
                21 hours, 43 mins ago

                Just discovered my FPL challenge team managed to outscore my normal FPL team, despite the challenge captain getting flat 0 (JPedro)

                1. CoracAld2831
                  • 5 Years
                  21 hours, 38 mins ago

                  Ditto.

                  105 points from 6 over 101 from 11 makes you think about your choices in life.

                    • 11 Years
                    21 hours, 36 mins ago

                    They were handing out 4 points for being fouled or something stupid? DCL got 15 points for winning and scoring his pen vs Wolves

                  2. AAAFootball
                      21 hours, 35 mins ago

                      121 over 94-106 (depending on bonuses)

                      Despite the aforementioned 0 captain.

                      How did i manage to do this???

                  100pts FH consider it semi success, fail palmer C & enzo for gross cost me 25pts & widen the gap with the ML who BB 129pts would have bring him down with WC BB left for me & he will FH next gw & i already have a decent team so no much fear of it

                    I got 94 and consider it a massive fail.

                    Got most 50/50 calls wrong, and my nostalgic punt on Cucurella was a disaster

                        CCC: Gyokeres/Solanke/sesko/ 4th mid

                        What are your thoughts?

                          If you want differential FH you probably need Xavi and Solanke or something like that?

                              Yeah, dont fancy solanke but Xavi is the other big mid choice. I kind of liked the Gyokeres punt, and i was thinking woodman if clean sheets are rare, only a select few FHers will have him. Rogers/rice/xavi the toughest dilemma.

                              This, gotta go all in on them and Xavi maybe a captain pick lol

                            The first one. I got Neco on the bench 2nd sub, everything else the same plus Woodman, Xavi, Solanke ( first sub ) and Cunha.

                                So woodman, rogers, gyokeres?

                                  Woodman, Rogers and Solanke. Havertz might start again, who knows?

                            If you have less than 130 points, this gw is a failure. Just the nature of the game this late in the season... if you don't gain points on ML leaders it's a fail..

                            Another reason for people to quit this trash game

                                No. 130 point gw and it's still red arrows across the board. What's the fkn point

                                  Jeez I got 131 and moved up (hopefully) 400k.

                                  Though my rank has been terrible all year.

                                    I was going to say Brosstan must have a pretty good rank at least if 130 is a red arrow

                                  My advice would be to pick the players that score the most points, that way you'll always be No1.

                                Top 10k average is 105pts. Don't know 100k

                              How is it a failure to get a green arrow? I'm up to 10k OR with 117pts.

                            If Pedro had of turned up I'd have had a 39 point bench boost! 126 + Haaland bonus not too shabby even with two blankers.

                                Ya I’ll probably end up on something like this myself, even though so will most. Might switch MGW to someone like a punt on Eze or that though

                                I don’t think Cherki is tbf. He’s greedy but wouldn’t put him in the category of the others.

                                  123 points. From 361k to 223K. Pretty good BB week. Usually they are crap.

                                    All those awful Brighton, Leeds and Bournemouth assets, as someone has pointed out here earlier. ARS not doubling turned out quite fun and it opened up a very interesting finish of the season.

                                      So true. It is going to be exciting to see who wins the PL!

                                                  I just hope Millwall gets promoted, that’d be so much fun 🙂

                                    How did Ait-Nouri manage to get 2 bonus pts with 64 mins and a single defcon? Didn't see the match did he have a ton of potential assists?

                                    Is Van Hecke losing a point?

                                    Live FPL has him on 12 instead of 13 now.

                                      Looks like Welbeck's taking the point away from Van Hecke and Boscagli.

                                      I don't understand though how Welbeck gets a point for a meaningless goal and Haaland only gets one point for the only goal of the match.

                                        Haaland missed a load of big chances so that one is understandable. Don't get the Welbeck one
