Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues this Sunday lunchtime, with Brentford v West Ham United, Leicester City v Crystal Palace and Norwich City v Burnley kicking off at 14:00 GMT.

The big team news comes from Carrow Road, where Wout Weghorst retains his place up front alongside Jay Rodriguez.

Connor Roberts, however, drops to the bench, with Matthew Lowton preferred at right-back in Sean Dyche’s 4-4-2 formation.

For the hosts, Dean Smith makes one change from the goalless draw at Brighton last weekend, with Kieran Dowell coming in for Billy Gilmour, who is not involved due to illness.

Leicester make a whopping seven changes from Thursday’s Europa Conference League starting XI, with Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Ricardo Pereira, Timothy Castagne, Marc Albrighton, Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho dropping out.

That means only Kasper Schmeichel, Youri Tielemans, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Maddison keep their places.

Opponents Crystal Palace stick with the same XI that beat Arsenal so convincingly in Gameweek 31.

Brentford, meanwhile, make two changes from the 4-1 win at Stamford Bridge: Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen and Yoane Wissa both start, as Pontus Jansson misses out with a non-Covid related illness and Mads Roerslev drops to the bench.

For the visitors, David Moyes resists the urge to heavily rotate despite facing Lyon again on Thursday.

Vladimir Coufal comes in for Ryan Fredericks, while Manuel Lanzini starts in place of Said Benrahma.

    Weggy it’s your time to shine!

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It's the biggest game of the season, a real season defining game today and why we FF mangers excitedly play this game.

      Yes I'm talking about Norwich V Burnley

      Cmon Weg!

    2. el polako

      Bratwurst is a trap\flop\fools gold.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        A perfectly designed 6ft 6in Dutch trap

    3. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So close to the two point for Weg!

  2. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who would you get in this week?

    A NEW def
    B James -4

    Cheers

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A.

  3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Vestergaard has played 90 minutes twice this season. I remember him as pretty decent at Soton. Are Evans, Soy and Amartey that much better or injury?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Tbh they are all mediocre which tells a lot about him atm.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He's been extremely poor really, I think he was made to look better than he is at times at Southampton. He's been kept out of the team by other underperforming players like Soyuncu so says enough about it

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Vestergaard isn't that good IMO. But neither are the rest. I would say Leicester's best team, based on what I have seen this season is:

      Schmeichel
      Fofana Evans Soyuncu
      Justin Tielemans Ndidi Castagne
      Maddison
      Vardy Barnes

      And their backups:

      Ward
      Amartey Vestergaard Thomas
      Pereira Dewsbury-Hall Soumare Bertrand
      Iheanacho
      Daka Lookman

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That's a good team and decent bench.

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Was good at Southampton, got a few goals too. Evans and Doyuncu, when they're on their game are better defenders than him.

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Weghorst pont prediction?

    I say yc and subbed of at 58th minute for a total of 0 points.

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Goal.... then a peno miss, then a red card

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      +1

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm being optimistic on a big haul today - 2 points!

  5. iL PiStOlErO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Have TC and FH chip still left. Should I use FH this week or just do some -4 and use money form the bank?

    Dubravka
    TAA Cancelo White
    Salah Saka Martinelli Maddison Gordon
    Kane Adams

    Mendy T.Silva Greenwod Kilman

    1ft, 1.4m itb

  6. el polako

    C'mon you Irons !

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Iron you c'mons.

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      COYI!

  7. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Nothing but a Toney hat trick will do!

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nothing then yes.

  8. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any idea why Castagne isn't in the squad?

    He was my transfer in this GW 🙁

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He is.

      If you mean XI, their priority is Europa.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Rodgers said there would be changes, especially for those coming back from injuries.

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Never trust a word from a midget

      2. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thnx mate, I Shud have asked here before making the transfer

  9. SKENG
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A bit early but does this look like an easy save for DGW33? Got 1 FT, 1.2m ITB.

    Schmeichel (Ramsdale)
    TAA Cancelo Doherty (Silva Digne*)
    Salah Son Kulusevski Saka Maddison
    Lacazette Broja (Gelhardt*)

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty much yes. Gtg

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Doherty might be out

  10. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Time to add Barnes to my lost of fpl trolls with mahrez and Co? 2ft Barnes and Saka out?

    Ramsdale
    TAA White James Rudi Doherty
    Salaha Saka Kulu Havertz
    Kane

    Sa Barnes Cucho Richardson

  11. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Not having Son basically ruined all the rank jumps achieved over last couple of weeks. KDB, SALAH, CANCELO, ROBBO and NACHO to play today. Any hope of gaining the lost ranks with these lot?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think KdB is still around 2% EO so maybe. Not so much with the others

  12. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    This game is so frustrating at times- seemed a good idea to swap TAA to James before gw31, 1 point later naturally really regretting that change….

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Doesn't get much bigger than this game.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Agree. I think Norwich will batter Burnley.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I can't believe Kingdom Hearts IV was announced either, made my day

  14. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bench boost this

    De gea - Norwich and Liverpool
    James - arsenal
    Broja - burnley and arsenal
    Amartey - Newcastle and Everton

    I’m thinking after the hammering broja comes back and amartey hopefully gets 1 start out of the 2

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, get the chip out of the way.

      Doubling keeper and potential is there. Would be unlucky if you were to only get 3 out of 7 starts.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah I would
      James explosive on the right day
      Broja good chance of start vs. Burnley at least
      Amartey might get one if he plays well today and either are decent fixtures

  15. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Toney goooaaall.

    Get in there!

    (Just warming up) fingers crossed!

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      …..

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lifetime ban please

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Get in!

  16. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Surely get Barnes over Maddison now that he’s rested for next week

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on what happens on Thursday

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The European games are Wednesday. DGW has no bearing on the semi final which is not until the 28th.

  17. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Nacho is supposed to be my differential and he is not even starting

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Elche- Sociedad line up not out yet. Could still start.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Unfortunately even disregarding EL, Rodgers doesn't seem to trust him despite his generally good form when he gets a good run

  18. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Puts me off Leicester assets with them being in Europa, all focus will be on that as it will put them into the champs league.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think they'll win Europa.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Only gets them a Europa spot but I agree. Let's see after Thursday.

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ah, I thought the winner got automatic champions league entry.

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Rodgers has always been annoying little tinkerer

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He's been pretty honest that he was going to make changes and that ECL is their priority.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Defence he said

      2. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I know, but most mid table sides still play their best team more often than Leicester, especially when they could miss out on Europe altogether now

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Their only chance of Europe is to win the ecl thing

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            What about finishing 5/6/7

            If they get knocked out they are in danger of also missing that

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Europa league is the priority really. PL safe and nothing to play for so if they go through expect more rotation

      1. dabber7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yep, Rodgers has made 7 changes from Thursday's team, if they go through, then Leicester assets are surely an avoid, as nobody is safe.

  20. drughi
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    First red arrow in 10 gameweeks inevitable today with only TAA, barnes and weggy left

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same here - my hope was on Barnes. I've resigned to the fact my quest to re-enter the top 10K will have to wait a week.

  21. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Really fancy Barnes or Madders in for the DGW but my midfield looks ok. Who should I swap for who, or do I leave alone?

    Kulu Son Bowen Jota Saka

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jota. As he probably won't start (Diaz, Salah, Mane).

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Leave alone.

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saka to Maddy for me

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        That was my way of thinking except the DGW is playing with my mind. Losing one DGW player in a week where I haven’t got many. And yet, since the Tierney injury Arsenal seem to be lacking leadership........

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Burnley started poorly. Having to defend good chances from a poor Norwich team.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could do with being shot of Burnley. Never to return.

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Bit harsh..

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Sorry. If it makes you feel better, my team left the Premier League never to return. Also left the Championship never to return.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty much a grey fixture for Burnley.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Honestly I expect a Norwich win more than a Burnley win

  23. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    This Leicester B-team is playing better than their A-team against PSV.

  24. merin

    Show me your first FH33 drafts 🙂

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why FH - ManU, SOU and ARS are all rubbish

      1. merin
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I’m going to WC34 and BB36. I’m chasing and this is the week with the most upside

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Still think there's single gameweek players who have higher upside, but take your point

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Going Son/Kulu/Kane/Cancelo. And really gambling on Bruno/Ronaldo

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      FH36

      1. RamaJama

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dubravka
      Schar, Cancelo, Soyuncu
      Saka, Bruno, Maddison, Son, Kulu
      Ronaldo, Kane, 4.5

      Subs: 3.9, Gelvardt, White, Darlot

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nice. I have most of them - red arrows galore (team linked).

        Buyer beware

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Would have saved FH if it was possible to use them in 2 consecutive weeks. But let’s live

          1. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Agree, I'm chasing my first top 10K. Gotta live!

            GL my friend

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Thanks a lot! Had 12 weeks within Top 1K, but fallen a lot lately and my ML opponent has passed me with 30 points…

              1. Cruyff's Eleven
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                I made it as high as 3K, but then benched TAA and Saka and missed Coutinho on my WC.. Dropped back to 20K.

                One last push 🙂

    4. phoenixfromtheflames

        1. phoenixfromtheflames
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          My original plan was similar to you with Bruno and Ronnie but I don't trust them atm

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Agree, also considering kdb instead of Ronaldo

      2. merin
        • 10 Years

        Nice one! I like that you stayed clear of LEI defence 🙂

          Apart from GK ofc
