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.

    Any fellow new Pukki owners want to give yourself a pat on the back?

      Got him a couple of weeks back as the safe cheap option. Rival captained him so mixed blessing but I’ll take the points

      1. A-L

        Hopefully your rival is that brave all of the time then xD

          I’ve made up around 130 points in the last 12 GWs so yes. He always starts really well. Was 1 point ahead last night. Hopefully can get clear in the next few weeks

    this week puts an end to my hopes of getting top 10k I feel

    1. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds like differential time

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why?

  8. Jones Kusi
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Plan was to FH33 and BB36.
    Would you still go for it or save the FH?

    1 FT 0.8 ITB
    Ramsdale Foster
    Doherty Rudiger Taa Robertson Thomas
    Barnes Martinelli Kulu Salah Gordon

  9. Rainer

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Makes a save or let Mateta score, Schmeichel

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

    Burnley are finally gone!

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      They’ll be straight back up I reckon

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

        No way. Best players likely to leave and maybe Dyche too.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Do you think Dyche will leave? I’m not so sure.

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

            Looking at Burnley’s net spend and how he’s kept them in the league that long, he has every right to walk. Why would he stick around when the PL is getting tougher and he’s being given hardly anything to compete with each year.

            1. Glasner Ball
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              This is true, unfortunately your typical glory hunting/over spending prem fans don't appreciate the efforts of managers struggling to keep teams with less resources/observing FFP rules in the prem on a shoe string budget. Roy did well with us for 4 seasons of tight spending with hardly any funds, and like you say Dyche has done really well overall in charge over the years. Think if Burnley do go down he will get offers.

              1. Paqueta Rice
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Not sure if that was directed at me. Of course I appreciate what Dyche has done with that squad considering he was given no budget to work with. It doesn’t mean he will leave though.

                1. Yes Ndidi
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 9 months ago

                  Dyche and Burnley are from the same mould. I can't see him doing anything except trying to bring them straight back up. He quite likes playing the underdog.

                2. Glasner Ball
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 9 months ago

                  Sorry, no - not directed at you (apologies if it came across that way) - I mean the average fan of the bigger teams not aware of the limitations placed on managers of teams to achieve results against the ever moving goalposts (excuse the pun) of managers for teams flouting FFP at all costs to get results. Like you say not 100% certain he will leave, but Dyche overall has done well living within the limitations set upon him/the team.

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

        Tough league and likes of Tarkowski are out of contract
        Teams that go straight up tend to have good attacks e.g. Fulham + Mitrovic

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

    3 Pukki
    2 Krul
    1 Hanley

    3 Toney
    2 Mbeumo
    1 Henry, Raya

    3 Dewsbury-Hall
    2 Schmeichel
    1 Maddison

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

      Lovely cheers!

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

      Don't forget Weghorsts 1.

    3. jimmyharte
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Maddison getting a bonus over lookman who scored is a poxy joke.

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Zaha so bad at pens

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very cool from Zaha, I thank him.

  14. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Weghorst, what a legend...

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Leg end

  15. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    😆 Sky just speedrunning the Nor-Bur analysis to get to the City game.

  16. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Salah non cappers hoping for a blank I guess?

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

      Isn’t he under 100% EO?

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      EO is like 100% so probably doesn't really matter unless for a mini league

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

        Surprised there’s that many cappers!

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      100EO% doesn't matter what he does

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. 1-0 Liverpool, Trent goal, no Robertson or Salah involvement pls.

    5. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      101% EO

    6. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      In the nice position of having capped Son so he can score a brace and still be up on the decision

    7. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Makes no difference. Wouldn’t mind if he scored, just to admire a PL great, in a match between two titans. I imagine Liverpool fans who play this game and didn’t captain also wouldn’t mind if he does well.

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

      Chart is actually quite neat: https://www.livefpl.net/rank_tiers
      More dangerous the worse your rank is
      If you are in top 10k you want points, if not you want blank

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Except lowest teams, 3m to 6m it seems? Wonder who they’ve capped

        1. Yes Ndidi
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          They probably have no idea who they've capped

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

          They are usually just completely dead teams, probably who gave up after Ronaldo (c) didn’t get a hattrick in GW6 or something

          1. The Ilfordian
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Ah yes, I remember when I thought Ronaldo might be my perma captain

    9. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure, Son capper here but still have Salah, maybe a goal and assist but hopefully not go to mad I spose.

  17. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years

    That Nacho cameo is sickening…

    1. Jock Grealish

      yeah cos he's been so good recently

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t speak too soon sonny, it’s still Salah

  21. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years

    Should've done Salah -> Lees-Melou ffs

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That’s bad luck. Good to know you’ve got a surplus of in form players?

        Would be if I had BB chip left!!

    Goodbye Burnley, my old friend,
    it’s Championship football once again,
    Lower division softly creeping,
    Goals were scored, your defence was sleeping,
    And relegation was planted in your brain,
    Still remains,
    Within in the grounds of the Championship

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Brought a tear to my eye

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Simon and Garfunkel would be impressed with this one

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      We’ve been a poor team
      With a lack of any goals
      And squandered their transfers
      With Weghorst who at first seemed promising

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Doesn't rhyme

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          True. I’m no better at rhyming than FPL

    4. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      In restless dreams Dyche walked alone
      With his short sleeves in the snowstorm

    5. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Very creative. Sad for Burnley.

  28. Paqueta Rice

    Just seen this on BBC sport

    “There is one point between Man City and Liverpool in the table right now. As I said earlier, one point separates them since the start of 2018-19!”

    One point in difference between the two teams in 4 seasons

      • 8 Years

      Not the best game today, although you could say the same for a lot of Palace players. If he was that bad he would have been subbed. Actually blocked a shot from another Palace player!

      Needless to say was involved and worked hard, not much came off in the end. Think he's still relatively safe for starts.
