Three more Premier League matches get underway at 3pm BST.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur – two teams that many Gameweek 34 Free Hitters went big on – are among the sides in action.

Fantasy aside, it’s a pivotal afternoon at the bottom of the Premier League as 18th-placed Spurs and 17th-placed West Ham United endeavour to avoid finishing the day in the bottom three.


TEAM NEWS

There’s the expected change between the posts at Anfield as Freddie Woodman makes his first Premier League start for Liverpool.

Giorgi Marmadashivili is out injured, while Alisson has still not fully recovered.

Arne Slot’s other alteration sees Alexis Mac Allister replace Ryan Gravenberch, who drops to the bench.

As promised, Oliver Glasner goes pretty much full strength on Merseyside, recalling Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ismaila Sarr, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada.

Jørgen Strand Larsen, Yéremy Pino, Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma are demoted to substitute duty.

There’s not been this much FPL interest in Spurs assets for some time, but a combination of Gameweek 34 being a big Free Hit week and the calibre of opposition has led to a (temporary) surge in demand.

The Lilywhites’ team news is straightforward: Djed Spence for the injured Destiny Udogie is the only change.

James Maddison is again on the bench as a non-playing substitute!

As for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Rob Edwards makes five changes after the 3-0 loss at Leeds United.

Jose Sa, Pedro Lima, Matt Doherty, Rodrigo Gomes and Mateus Mane start for the relegated hosts.

Dan Bentley, Jackson Tchatchoua, Angel Gomes and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde drop to the bench, while Ladislav Krejci misses out due to injury.

Finally, in east London, West Ham are unchanged for their clash with Everton.

The Toffees’ only two alterations are enforced, with Thierno Barry and Michael Keane replacing the sidelined Beto and Jarrad Branthwaite.

      • 9 Years

      Bloodbath now, he’ll inevitably get involved, wouldn’t actually be surprised to see Palace let him score

  15. Fifa las vegas

    This is turning into a proper troll GW

  16. Qaiss

    Guys cmon sod FPL for a day/season

    Tottenham need to get relegated

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      They can have a good FH week and still get relegated though

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Wolves are not lying dowm

  17. Feloh

    FH 32 fail.

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years

      34

  18. OverTinker

    Atleast Solanke will not frustrate us for next 45 minutes

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      True, I would’ve taken the defcon though

  19. Ady87
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Imagine having triple Liverpool and still nothing from 4 goal involvements.

  20. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Why did I even go Soblanke?

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      At least it’s only a one week thing thankfully

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Sorry Solanke punters, that is horrific luck.
    At least only a 1 GW pick for most.

  22. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    FH was going good so far until Solanke C hammy. Just cannot catch a break this season

  23. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    No shot on target in Wolves v Spurs

  24. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    I didn't punt on Solanke, but kind of feel bad for people who do. Punting on players this season feels like it has gone right like 1 out of 20 times.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Punts on attackers aren’t worth it when defenders have a floor of 4 points every week

  25. Ady87
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Wait the guy returning 2, 2, 1, 2, 7, 2, 2, 2 has scored 1point?

    The only shock is it isn’t 2.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      But stats

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        To be fair, favourable stats and opponents, fighting for their lives and marked improvement under the new manager last game.

    2. Saka White Rice
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Don't act smart. Constant top 10k players put them in a FH. Its Wolves and there arent obvious better players for this gameweek.

      1. Ady87
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        What are you on about? There were a ton of better picks in the front 2 or 3. What you mean is one or two notable influencers top 10k went Solanke. Thiago, Watkins, Igor, Bowen, Havertz were all better options on FH.

        1. Saka White Rice
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          Thiago is playing Man U away and if you look at bookies they are less likely to score than Spurs. Havertz was never nailed Gyokeres could have started. Bowen was in all our teams anyway. Igor was in hardly any teams theres a reason why. And Watkins blanked against a good defensive Fullham. Now do you understand? Was Salah also a bad option then since he got 1 point? Very easy with a crystal ball to comment on the past huh?

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      4, might get max BAPS

  26. thegaffer82
    • 15 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    I kept going between 3-5-2 with MGW & 3-4-3 with Solanke. Thank god I ended up with the MGW draft!
    Sliding doors moment

  27. g40steve

    4 months, 7 days ago

    De Zerbi got his head down in his hands

  28. g40steve

    Card decision at Wolves

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      YC only, two footed challenge

  29. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Apparently Palace have been the better team

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Woodman pulled off some good saves

  30. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Salah captainers still confident?

    1. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Salah captainers? What year is this?
