Before Manchester City begin their Gameweek 36 double-header in the evening kick-off, we’ve got three more Premier League matches to bring you:

Casemiro Sesko

TEAM NEWS

The most significant team news come from Wearside, although not concering the hosts. Sunderland’s only change sees Lutsharel Geertruida replace the suspended Dan Ballard.

Rather, the teamsheet bedlam is delivered by Michael Carrick – and he did hint at it in Thursday’s presser.

Carrick makes five changes to the side that beat Liverpool, in fact, although two are enforced as Benjamin Sesko and, unexpectedly, Casemiro miss out. The departing Brazilian should be back in Gameweek 37.

Bryan Mbeumo drops to bench for the second time in five Gameweeks, while Diogo Dalot and Ayden Heaven are also demoted to substitute duty.

Mason Mount, Noussair Mazraoui, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo and, back from a ban, Lisandro Martinez come into the side.

At the Amex, Fabian Hurzeler makes two changes to his defence following the 3-1 defeat by Newcastle last week.

Lewis Dunk and Maxim De Cuyper come in as Olivier Boscagli has to make do with substitute duty. Mats Wieffer is injured.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ only alteration sees Hwang Hee-chan come in for Tolu Arokodare.

Finally, at Craven Cottage, it’s two changes apiece.

For the hosts, Marco Silva prefers Tom Cairney and Rodrigo Muniz to Harrison Reed and Raul Jimenez. The latter was struggling with illness this week.

Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie replaces Tyler Adams, while Adam Smith is the one deputising for the unavailable Alex Jimenez at right-back.

Justin Kluivert is back on the bench after a four-month absence.

    9 teams out of 20 in our mini league without pool or chelsea

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

      With Europe on the line, they could have a few players worthy of consideration

  2. Brosstan

    Wolves gonna concede 10 today.

    Hinshelwood goal already

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      De Cuyper A

    2. g40steve

    Knew id regret not taking a -4 for hinshelwood.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I wanted him but already had 3 Brighton. Hope Welbeck can get something

      1. TanN
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Van hecke is my only brighton cover, a clean sheet would keep me happy enough.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          If all you have is Van Hecke you need to hope for a Wolves goal. Brighton def is far above 100EO

          1. TanN
            • 5 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Oh really, shouldve looked into EO and committed to extra players from brighton then

            1. Mr. O'Connell

              1 month, 15 days ago

              You're better off not knowing. EO one of the five scourges of FPL along with copying content creators, five subs, chips and something else I can't think of right now.

              1. Brosstan
                • 11 Years
                1 month, 15 days ago

                Completely agree...

                Add captaincy. Makes it so that you get super punished every time you dare try not owning the most popular players.

      Mitoma was a wasted transfer

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

    It was a toss up between Groß and Hinshelwood. Hinshelwood scores.. those are the breaks... 89mins left to make amends Pascal !

  5. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Gomez fh33, Gross wc35.

  6. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Dunk Goal, De Cuyper haul

  7. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Dunk G

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      5m 23s this could get messy

  8. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Of course Gross does not take the corner

  9. it lies in the proles

    GW2 De Cuyper sellers in the mud

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    Wilson's been a bit poo lately

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Probably doesn't want to play anymore this season, they are done.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Could still get into Europe if they win this one

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 15 days ago

          I said the same last GW or before that, they've given up

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Who to replace him with for 6.0m?

            1. JBG
              • 8 Years
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Kdh?

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 8 Years
                1 month, 15 days ago

                Yeah only possibility really

                1. Brosstan
                  • 11 Years
                  1 month, 15 days ago

                  Dango/Schade, Bruno G, KDH/Garner Enzo perhaps

                  1. Brosstan
                    • 11 Years
                    1 month, 15 days ago

                    Oh didnt see the price req. Dango is an option

  15. GBD1961

    So when will the Premier league change the Enzo goal to fofana’s this is a joke it’s clearly Fofanas goal ! We spend all year on here and the F it up with 2 games to go. Scandalous!!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Fofana didn't touch it

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Gust of wind, Enzo G on highlighted replay

    3. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Even Fofana didn't think it was Fofana's goal.

  16. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years

    Sunderland penalty denied

  17. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Mitoma getting yellow for that, ffs just end this season already please

  18. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Fulham v Bournemouth will end 0-0. 1,000,000%

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Benched Hill instead of Rayan

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Hill on my bench... Thought Fulham would show some urgency

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Bench both my Bou defs

  19. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Harry slapping Andy with his Hinslewood and Andy thinks it is Groß!

  20. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Is it even worth getting Wilson in to target Wolves with Fulham's current beach form?..

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      KDH seems better

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        or Dango maybe

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        My bus captain

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I'm actually thinking about benching/selling Wilson

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Understandable. If I already owned him Id probably keep for Wolves
