Gameweek 34 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues with Fulham v Aston Villa, which gets underway at 12.30pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

There are seven changes in total across the two sides today.

Marco Silva makes three of them, one of which is enforced by an injury to Alex Iwobi. Samuel Chukwueze replaces him.

Raul Jimenez and Sander Berge also come in for the benched Rodrigo Muniz and Tom Cairney.

The Villans make one enforced change, too, as Amadou Onana is unexpectedly absent. Lamare Bogarde deputises in midfield.

Pau Torres, Lucas Digne and Emi Buendia also get recalls, as Tyrone Mings, Ian Maatsen and Ross Barkley drop down to substitute duty.

All the main Fulham and Villa players start from a Fantasy perspective, including the most-bought asset of Gameweek 34, Ollie Watkins. He was transferred in by over 1.8 million managers in the run-up to Friday’s deadline.

LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon, Berge, Lukic, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze, Jimenez.

Subs: Lecomte, Reed, Muniz, Cairney, Bobb, Kusi-Asare, King, Diop, Robinson.

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Tielemans, Bogarde, McGinn, Rogers, Buendia, Watkins.

Subs: Bizot, Lindelof, Mings, Barkley, Abraham, Sancho, Luiz, Maatsen, Bailey.

      Nope, freak result, 5 goals only scored one and an assist. Your player may beat him, time will tell.

        Could have been a lot worse with Forest scoring 5, I guess.

          Yep, especially as it was 4-0 half-time, MGW owners must have been upset to get nothing in the second half

    A rare Andersen goal from a Wilson assist would be nice
    He was a great attacking option when at Palace .
    I'll be replacing him for a Palace player for the dgw
