Three more Gameweek 35 matches take place this Sunday, with Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur following on from two afternoon kick-offs.

TEAM NEWS

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola brings in Tyler Adams and Rayan.

Ryan Christie and David Brooks drop to the bench.

Palace, with one eye on the second leg of their UEFA Conference League semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday, make five changes.

Chris Richards, Tyrick Mitchell, Adam Wharton, Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta are demoted to substitute duty.

Chadi Riad, Justin Devenny, Jefferson Lerma, Brennan Johnson and Jorgen Strand Larsen come in.

At Old Trafford, the Manchester United team news is straightforward: Matheus Cunha in for the benched Amad Diallo.

Liverpool’s two alterations are enforced, with Ryan Gravenberch and Jeremie Frimpong replacing the injured Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak.

Alisson Becker has failed to recover, so Freddie Woodman continues between the posts.

    Just seen on BBC football that Jeremie Frimpong could play as a centre forward if Isak is out! 😯

        Best pick in the game if it happens.

          I wouldn’t touch him. Interesting if it happened earlier in the season, nonetheless

      "...if Isak is ruled out to face Michael Carrick’s team, Slot has a huge selection headache in terms of who he plays as at centre forward given Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike are also out due to injury.

      One potential option is to play Cody Gakpo as a makeshift No 9, while it is understood Slot has also looked at the possibility of using Jeremie Frimpong as a central attacker if Isak is unavailable."

        Surely Gakpo up top, Ngumoha on the left, Frimpong or Chiesa on the right with Wirtz in the hole. Nothing else makes sense.

    Some of the choices of words used in media these days is grating... Demoted / dropped used in various outlets... why cant it just be they are being rested for the Europa Conference League. It's like they vie for the words that will attract more clicks. Rant over lol

  3. Bobby Digital

    Would you do:

    A. Timber to Munoz
    B. Timber to Saliba
    C. DCL to JSL

    1. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Prob wait to see what happens after the euro games... just in case of injuries or tweaks. All being ok, Depends if you think Palace or Arsenal keep a CS. Arsenal do, thats 6, Munoz would need a CS, DC or bonus in at least one of the 2 games to match that. I'm not confident on Palace, so would edge to Saliba as more at stake for Arsenal.

      1. Bobby Digital

    Lerma OG, Evan A

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Bust em Palace CS

    2. g40steve

      Removes thoughts of Palace for the double 😮

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        I might still get Munoz, but no more than that.

  5. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    There goes my Scott A 🙁

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Come on Munoz

  7. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Palace players looking like they've taken some barbiturates before the match...

    1. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      A few maybe holding back with eyes on the Euro game. Bet Henderson and Munoz are touted for the DGW

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Munoz has been less attacking lately imo.

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Using transfer to bench Raya isn't my cup of tea.

  8. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    I think I will bet against CP. With 3 transfers I can focus on getting likes of Saka for Palmer, doing Semenyo to Cherki and something else, last gw will prolly be high scoring.

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Bruno non cappers hoping for a blank? Everyone owns him and surely a good amount capped

  10. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Woeful FK from Pino, could’ve cost them another goal.

  11. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Pen Bournemouth

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Dive surely?

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        100%

  12. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Rayan is something else

  13. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Pen Bournemouth

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      That’s softest ever

  14. Bigbars
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    What a dive

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Given

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Huge dive

  15. x.jim.x
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Get him booked

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Pointless VAR once again

  16. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Embarrassing, pathetic dive by Senesi.

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Yeah never a pen

      1. DeSelby
        • 3 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Even more embarrassing is that VAR looked at it and decided the call wasn't an obvious mistake. Utter shambles.

        1. Under my Cucurella
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 22 days ago

          Yeah, terrible all around

  17. Bigbars
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    How can VAR allow that... there was no contact with Senesi for him to go down in such a fashion... more VAR articles incoming after this..

  18. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    How the heck is that a penalty

  19. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Kroupi g Senesi a

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Joke

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Yes, VAR needs sacking, clear & obvious neither

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 22 days ago

          Ref gave it, so if not clear and obvious mistake, pen stands.

  20. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Senesi assist lovely

  21. fusen
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    That is never a penalty

  22. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Don’t totally agree with the pen decision but I will take the Senesi assist thank you

  23. fusen
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    My bench is getting all the points this wee

    😎

  24. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    How is that a pen

  25. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Imagine WC35 loading up on Palace 😉

  26. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Tav not on Pens?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      This 🙁

  27. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    Anyone going with 0 Palace for the DGW?

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Rotation-heavy team on the beach with tough fixtures, what could go wrong?

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Watching this might not bother

      1. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Same here. Im probably just gonna buy Arsenal players instead

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Munoz is locked in for me. Not expecting much, if anything. But I like to roll the dice on DGW’s.
      Considering Hendo as well with my other FT, but honestly doesn’t look like it’s worth the FT when I have Verbruggen v Wolves at home

  28. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    I’m a Senesi owner, but I’m a greedy one, so I’m still not happy. I wanted Tavernier to take it!

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Same. One of the reasons for getting Tavanier was that he was supposed to be on pens. Annoying.

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        I think Bou are a team that rotates their penalty taker unfortunately. On another day, could’ve gone our way

        1. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 month, 22 days ago

          I'm not seeing much rotation. Kroupi has now taken the last 3.

  29. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    1 month, 22 days ago

    The hope with VAR was that if a foul was missed on the field, an official could watch a replay and advise the ref to award it. What we didnt realise is that it would highlight how bad officials are in making subjective calls.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 22 days ago

        Let's go Cunha

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 22 days ago

      Wirtz guaranteed to score today after me calling him a flop all season
