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.

      • 15 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      It’s pathetic. Like you can post fck, feck, ferk etc as if nobody knows the actual word. 🙄

    3. Brosstan

      • 13 Years
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Sold Semenyo for a hit for Haaland. Fully expect him back in form today. Semenyo that is

  15. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Can I can possibly get more than -2 points from Andersen??

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

    Welbz jeez

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

    OF COURSE its Rayan out of every single player possible... f right off

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

    Hold Brighton

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

      They can concede

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

      In what world do Wolves score. Count your points.

      1. tutankamun
        • 16 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        They hit the bar

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

      Everyone’s got double def anyway

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

        Yet another baseless assumption

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

          Any competitive ML will have double Bri def in the top teams

          1. Sun God Nika
            • 5 Years
            1 month, 15 days ago

            People that wildcarded for the previous double would have two

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

            52% in top 100k. Hardly everyone. Enough to hope they concede though.

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

    Best mid up to 7.5 (no City)?
    Maybe Szobo? Or some Everton?

  20. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Dorgu back on the pitch! Still no Mbuemo

  21. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Cunha and Fernandes owner. Can you score Utd please!

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

      Cunha will score - I benched him. Fernandez is pretty much irrelevant unless you capt him.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Utd fan too so just want a goal

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

        Actually, they might not, as Alderete is third sub.

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

    Welbz incredible for 35

  23. gunnersxgooners
    • 1 Year
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Brighton needs to score more

  24. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Thiago to Welbeck went well

  25. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Welbeck off

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

    Welbz off

  27. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    No Casemiro impact. Are you sure you don’t want another year United?

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

    Baleba off

  29. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Should've started Hill instead of Pedro/Welbeck ffs

  30. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Gross doing anything?
