2pm team news: James injured as West Ham ring the changes

Double Gameweek 34 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday, with Brighton and Hove Albion v Southampton, Burnley v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea v West Ham United kicking-off at 14:00 BST.

The big FPL team news comes from Stamford Bridge, where Reece James misses out through injury.

Malang Sarr, Andreas Christensen and Romelu Lukaku also drop out from the side that lost to Arsenal in midweek, with Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, Jorginho and Kai Havertz coming in.

Antonio Rudiger is absent because of an ongoing groin injury.

For the visitors, David Moyes makes six changes with one eye on Thursday’s Europa League semi-final.

Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio are among those who sit out, while defenders Kurt Zouma, Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna are all unavailable through injury.

Brighton welcome back Leandro Trossard after a brief illness saw him miss the midweek trip to Manchester City, while Adam Webster and Neal Maupay also feature.

Yves Bissouma, meanwhile, serves the final game of a two-match suspension.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes six changes with Armando Broja benched.

Mohammed Salisu, Tino Livramento, Nathan Redmond, Nathan Tella, Shane Long and Che Adams are the ones who come into the starting XI.

Burnley remain without the injured quartet Ashley Westwood, Erik Pieters, Ben Mee and Johann Berg Gudmundsson, and make just one change from their Gameweek 33 win over Southampton.

Ivory Coast forward Maxwel Cornet misses out – not even making the squad with a ‘niggly knee’ – and is replaced by Matej Vydra.

For Wolves, Raul Jimenez returns after completing a two-game suspension, with Romain Saiss, Nelson Semedo and Leander Dendoncker also coming into Bruno Lage’s XI.

Max Kilman, Ruben Neves and Daniel Podence miss out through injury.

    Liverpool to win 3-0
    Salah Hattrick and TAA triple assists

      Jota clean sheet point at least. If he makes 60.

    Massive game this for me - Salah, Trent, Robbo and the main man…..KAPTAIN (M)GORDON

    Weghorst only 1 point behind Kane in the last 4 GWs 😮

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years

      Weghorst essential!

    All in favour to get rid James say I

      How serious is his injury, do we know?

        Not an injury per se. Was scanned and nothing found. James said he wasn't sure, so he's been left out as a precaution.

        We were so bad today he'll probably start vs. United.

      Everton next. Maybe hold & sell for Laporte in DGW36.

      Thursday should be your clue.

    Oh god. I’m going to stew on picking Cancelo over Alonso this week. This game!

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Logic says a good call mate.

        Thanks mate. Trying to remind myself / console myself but can’t help it! Thank goodness for (checks notes) Weghorst!

        In a straight shoot-out, reckon Alonso was the better pick I'm sorry.

        DGW, good attacker.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          We shall see. There is never a right or wrong choice. Minutes, rotation, clean sheet potential.

        2. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          I hope you follow my meaning bud. The game is so subjective.

        3. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          1 week maybe. I would think he is talking for the season.

        4. MrZ
          • 9 Years

          In this week, yes.
          I got both btw

  6. Original Sin

    Didn't captain Salah, so I should pray for him to blank, right?

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      He will haul, that's how FPL works

  7. Philosopher's Stones

    Don't have Salah. Think even a huge sofa won't do. Might just dwell in the caves for a few hours now. See ya later, lads.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Might stick a bit on 2+ goals

    I had JWP for 7 Gameweeks he scored One goal. Wildcard him out this week and scores 2 in the same game. Nightmare season with sick note James goes missing again.

    Arsenal fans…

  11. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    If u haven't any City players who to get ?
    A- Laporte

    Gotta give it to Scout and Neale.

    Got the Liverpool predicted lineup 100% correct. None of this Salah and Robbo rested rubbish.

  13. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Looking like another rubbish week compounded by the fact my rival brought in Jesus and Alonso this week

  14. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Salah is so blanking today
