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.

        I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is no sweeter sight in football than watching the ball fly past Martinez and into his goal.

          Generally when I use my FH it's a blank game week, aside from the rare occasion where I've kept it for the last day.

          In most of the blank weeks I've used it, returns have been paltry with the big players doing naff all. Obviously time for this week still to disruptive the point

            But do you think the players feel the pressure of having games when others do not? Seems so common an occurrence that I might as well have just played 3 players

            Fulham will concede, hopefully not but as someone with double defence, I can’t count the amount of times they concede close to 90 mins.

                Check the stats since our defensive coach left (start of the year). We are very much a team to target in this last 4 weeks. Any chance of Europe has gone now as well.
