Gameweek 21 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Leeds United v Brentford and Manchester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Both matches kick-off at 14:00 GMT.

Pep Guardiola makes two changes from Thursday’s 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur, with Aymeric Laporte and Kevin De Bruyne replacing Nathan Ake and Julian Alvarez, both of whom drop to the bench. Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva are also substitutes, but Phil Foden is absent from the matchday squad as he is not fully fit.

As for Wolves, new signing Manuel Lemina comes in for Joao Moutinho in midfield, with Adama Traore preferred to Daniel Podence further forward. Pablo Sarabia, who joined from Paris St-Germain earlier this week, is on the bench.

At Elland Road, Jesse Marsch has made just one alteration from the 2-1 defeat at Villa Park in Gameweek 20, with Max Wober replacing the injured Liam Cooper. That means Wilfried Gnonto continues in the starting XI, having scored a midweek brace in the FA Cup. Luis Sinisterra and Patrick Bamford, meanwhile, are on the bench.

Brentford make two changes from the side that beat Bournemouth last time out, as Mads Roerslev and Rico Henry come in for Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa, with Thomas Frank reverting to a 3-5-2 formation.

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        You mean like that game this season where they beat Arsenal with no Casemiro?

        (Yes, not quite completely without him - it was a 10 minute cameo at the end)

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Nope I meant the last time they played this fixture at Arsenal when they lost 3-1.

      2. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Manu beat arsenal without Casemiro tbf

      4. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This is why I benched shaw but Cancelo no show means I get him off the bench now (other defender was Bueno)

      5. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        It's such an important point, that Arsenal MF is a real handful

      6. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Nah, too emphatic. I expect 2-1 or 1-1.

    4. Boss Hogg

    10. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      4-1 Arsenal. Trossard scores on debut.

    11. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I think we'll lose 3-0 today. Odegaard, White and Martinelli scoring.

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Everyone admires humility

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        It's somewhat funnier because he got bottomed so had to brag twice

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Guilty

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He’s a troll anyway.

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That Fergie guy can't be trusted

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I don’t think anyone was laughing at you? Let’s Make United Great only got 3 upvotes… probably all from Utd fans

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Form, hahaha

    6. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lol, add another one to the list of people we don't need to listen to.

    7. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      We need a list of famous "last comments".

    8. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It was a stupid comment, but this is kindergarten stuff...

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Not that deep pal. Relax and have a beer

        1. All Hail K
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Agree. Lighten up, have fun with the matches.

    9. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why do you want to influence people to captain Haaland? If they want to captain someone else, let them. Enjoy your rank gains.

  2. NoName
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Provisional KDB ➡ Bruno ➡ KDB, it is.

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That's my plan too, for now

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      KDB ➡ Bruno ➡ Mahrez

      1. NoName
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Good choice. Have the City attacking trio at the moment.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Planning that for dgw

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Or this

      3. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe having both is an option also. It means no Kane though.

    3. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      KDB will probably get benched in 24, so is it really worth it?

      1. NoName
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Even if out of form currently, I suspect I'll be too tempted to go back to him for the double.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I think keeping KdB and doing Bruno to Mahrez is close.

          1. NoName
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Have both already. My decision will be if I bring KDB back or go for a defender.

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Considering the same

  3. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best combo for next (D)gw?

    a.) Kepa, BRUNO (c), RASHFORD, GNONTO (-4 points)
    b.) DE GEA, Almiron, RASHFORD (c) Toney

    ???

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is Toney suspended now?

    3. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B for me, but without Toney.

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    57 from 4 seems ridiculous, even more so with 6 players in this next game, weird GW!

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Similar score. Haaland captain, double Newcastle defence and Mitoma

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Awesome!

  5. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bruno goal today would magic!

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Rat red card today would be sweet

    1. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You need to be involved in the game to be able to get a red card.

  7. FPL Brains

  8. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years

    Will there be a better double than the one Rashford has in gw22?

    1. SKENG
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Probably but you might want to use other chips then. I'm TCing.

  9. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    ZERO points from Foden and Cancelo means I have 10 players playing this GW. I honestly detest Pep more than anyone else in this world...!!!!

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm thinking (much as I don't rate him) that Ederson might be best option for the DGW.

    2. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I found the other person that still owns Foden.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Lol. I honestly thought they'd both score decently today and repay a bit for the past few weeks. It's as if Pep tries to pi$$ me off as much as he possibly can each GW...

        1. BeWater
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Today was the last chance saloon for Foden. I thought with the quick turnaround and no minutes midweek he might have a chance.

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You hate him because Foden is injured and Lewis is playing well enough to keep Cancelo out of the team. Interesting.

  10. Neo-Viper
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How to recover from the feeling of not captaining Halland? 🙁

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      no point dwelling on it, you tried to be pro active and make a different captain. It works sometimes it doesn't but of course it's better than just putting a c on someone you don't feel will score. I'd rather do that then playing the game so boring

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yaaa man!! That one time i didnt captain the obvious one because of lack of form!! Hit me bad!!

        City are a joke!!

    2. Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same bro, needs him to blank in an upcoming gw & we risk a captain who hauls to square it around

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yes bro!! More 17 games to go but horrendous season this!!

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Buy Bruno next week.

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Dont say it loud, please!!

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Oh, I want people to get into that trap! I am not buying Bruno myself.

    4. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I capped KDB but own Haaland so could’ve been worse

  11. Alexis Nonsense
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Need to free up funds, so looking for the best defender 4.3 or less medium/long term.

    Need him to play GW 25

    Bueno not an option

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe Luke Thomas although they have Arsenal in 25. Aurier is the one to get if you can fund that 0.2

  12. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Goodbye Raya save point, I'll miss you :mrgreen:

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      What happened to it??

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I dunno, I was like yey 11 points and now apparently 10, email FPL Towers they lost it!

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          He saved one that was off target in the first half. Maybe it was given and then rightfully deducted?

          1. Big Mike
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Had a similar issue with the Liverpool v Chelsea game yesterday. Kepa made more saves than Alisson, yet Alisson got all 3 bonus points.

  13. Mika-eel
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Scraping the barrel here, but does KDB still get 1 bonus?

    1. Mainoo Magic
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thank you TM.

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        How exactly?

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Doesn't look like it

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thank you Magic.

    3. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nope 🙁

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Don't think so aswell. On to next week then.

    4. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No he doesn't

      Haaland gets 3, two players get 2 so nobody gets the last 1.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thank you, that's what I thought. Desperation as a KDB capper.

    5. BeWater
      • 5 Years

    Did Lewis get injured or am i angry at Pep?

    1. Zalk

      The latter

      Should get angry at Lewis instead. Was looking a liability out there. Lucky he didn't get carded today too.

        I'm not angry he's 3.9m

        Not sure what game you were watching, but he didn't look a liability. Gave the ball away once and was excellent besides that.

      Out of his depth. Kept giving the ball away and making dodgy tackles

    So, would you TC Rashford or Fernandes next week or save for a future GW?

    1. BeWater

      Either Rashford GW22 or Haaland GW23.

    LiveFPL telling me I have an invalid ID. I guess 10,947,973 is too high 🙁

    AM I right in thinking that Leeds cannot blank in GW25.

    1. Hazz

      Incorrect. If Southampton beat Newcastle in the cup Leeds get a BGW instead of Newcastle.

      If Southampton beat Newcastle in League Cup then Leeds would blank in 25

    How did Gnonto play- good enough to bring in for double and then bench/rotate in for good Leeds fixtures?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not bad but he & Harrison kept getting in each other way. Was kinda tired at the end. Wouldn't be overly surprised if he starts kn the bench for one of the two DGW fixtures.

    Is Lewis > Mahrez (-8) worth it for DGW23?

      Missing some serious context.
