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

      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.

          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.

                  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!

      Lots of bench boosts in play, very difficult to beat the 3 extra players for those who picked JP lol

    How about this?

    Woodman
    Gabriel Porro Neco
    Salah BrunoF Cunha Xavi Gibbswhite
    Gyokeres Watkins

    Pecsi, I.Jesus, Van de ven, H.Bueno

    Likely Xavi cap, or bruno for a slightly safer route.

      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.

      Even that setup for the NOR missed sitter was brilliant

      Same here, only Woodman and Mavro instead of Raya / Virgil. Solanke first sub.

      I'm going with the penalty taker between those two.

      My dilemma is Cunha or MGW?

    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.

    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?

      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
