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.

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

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

      Atleast Solanke will not frustrate us for next 45 minutes

        True, I would’ve taken the defcon though

    • Ady87
      • 12 Years

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

    • Feloh

      Why did I even go Soblanke?

      1. Fifa las vegas

        At least it’s only a one week thing thankfully

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

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

    • AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 hours, 6 mins ago

      No shot on target in Wolves v Spurs

    • JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 hours, 6 mins 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
        2 hours, 2 mins ago

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

    • Ady87
      • 12 Years
      2 hours, 6 mins ago

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

      The only shock is it isn’t 2.

        But stats

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 hours 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
        2 hours, 3 mins 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
          • 12 Years
          1 hour, 38 mins 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
            1 hour, 23 mins 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?

        4, might get max BAPS

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