Fulham v Leeds United has the tough act of following on from last night’s six-goal thriller at the Emirates.

Kick-off at Craven Cottage is at 12:30 BST.

There’d ordinarily not be a great deal of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in this match, and in truth, there may be less riding on it than any of the other seven Blank Gameweek 32 fixtures.

Still, budget buy Andreas Pereira was transferred in by almost 200,000 FPL managers ahead of Friday’s deadline, in time for a meeting with the division’s leakiest defence.

Bernd Leno also gained around 100,000 new owners, with Fulham assets in the ‘sensible differential’ envelope after Leeds experienced back-to-back heavy defeats.

As for the team news, Marco Silva makes one enforced change: Bobby DeCordova-Reid is in for the ineligible Daniel James up top.

Javi Gracia responds to Leeds’ 6-1 thumping by Liverpool by making three alterations.

Junior Firpo, Pascal Struijk and Luis Sinisterra drop to the bench, with Liam Cooper, Max Wober and Crysencio Summerville taking their places.

Patrick Bamford returns from injury as a substitute.

GAMEWEEK 32 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Wilson, Pereira, Willian, De Cordova-Reid.

Subs: Rodak, Duffy, Kebano, Cairney, Solomon, Soares, Lukic, Vinicius, Diop.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Cooper, Wober, McKennie, Roca, Harrison, Aaronson, Summerville, Rodrigo.

Subs: Robles, Ayling, Firpo, Forshaw, Bamford, Struijk, Sinisterra, Rutter, Gnonto

    Using WC33 and BB34.

    Would you keep any of these SGWers?

    A) Martinelli (CHE)
    B) Toney (NFO)
    C) Trippier (SOU)
    D) Watkins (mun)
    E) Kane (liv)

    I've shown the GW34 fixture, but Watkins has nice fixtures either side of it.

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Just Trippier

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I'm keeping Trippier and Toney

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A, C & D

    4. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks for the replies, I feel like I'll likely have Martinelli and Trippier, I would like Kane but don't think I'll have the funds to stretch for him.

      Then I'm very much on the fence about Toney and Watkins currently.

  2. Paqueta Rice

    No Mitrovic? FH ruined

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Haha! He’s probably somewhere shoving officials around

  3. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Didn't realise Fulham defence was so good. Only City and Newcastle have conceded fewer goals since the restart.

    Leeds have conceded the most of course...

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure I'd call them good, xGA is still very high and haven't kept a clean sheet in 6 games

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Leno's been playing well then.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Yep, 5.8 goals prevented. What a beast.

          #1 shot stopper since the restart, ahead of Raya and Allison.

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Swingy... they were one of the main defences I was targeting pre-WC, then went on a surprisingly stingy run immediately after, and now kind of evening out. Leno did have a very high xGP at one points

  4. Camzy

    Seriously considered Harry Wilson on FH this week. Let's see if he punishes my template tendencies. Everyone predicted this game would have goals and yet almost no one has anyone in this game.

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

      Wober & Cooper make Leeds a little bit more solid.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I brought him in, looked great last weekend and should take some setpieces from Pereira, think a lot of people forget how good he is at them. Although Wober and Cooper being available has wilted a bit of my hope

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Rearranging deck chairs on the titanic with the Leeds defense. Doesn't matter who they bring in, their defense is awful.

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Feels like a Will I An type of game to me

    4. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      We have near identical teams this GW.

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

    Quite possible this is the Leicester XI today:

    https://twitter.com/seanfromenderby/status/1649723156112736259

    Maddison Vardy Tete
    KDH Tielemens Mendy
    Kristensen Soyuncu Souttar Castagne
    Iversen

    433, or 442 diamond with Vardy/Tete up top.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Cone on Leicester!

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Smith is mad if no Nacho

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’m surprised that they persist with grandad up front when Iheanacho is clearly raring to go

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I have Sa in goal so I'm liking that Vardy starts 😀

    5. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Hopefully a Diamond for Maddison owners

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Vardy? Guess Dean Smith wants to get relegated

    7. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Unbelievable that Vardy starts still

  6. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Andreas

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

  8. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Chilwell Tripp Shaw Estupinan Botman

    Which 3 to play next week? Or try to get TAA already?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Same back 5 and I am benching Shaw Botman

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        * Chilwell to Trent in 34

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Good plan, just tempted to keep Chilwell for 35 and 36

  9. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Dgw 37 confirmed with the teams we expected

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

      Now Ben Crellin can finally rest.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Deserves a break !

    2. Bobby Digital

      Which are?

      1. Gizzachance

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Man U probably the best of those and probably still fighting for Champions League. Still got Bruno. Hopefully he picks up

        2. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Similar to 34

            • 11 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, most will have lot of the dgw players in place

  10. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    So MCI v BRI when?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      37. BHA are at home

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Oh, sorry about that, it showed that City still had that fixture pending. My brain hurts. 3 hours sleep

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          No worries. I'm not one to berate people for asking an obvious question, especially when you're having a tough time. All the best 🙂

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks dude. I knew that one of Brighton or City had a potential for a triple GW, missed one of the releases.

            I've slept about 16 hours since Monday night. So averaging 3 hours per night right now.

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              I've been through something like too. Its awful, you can't think straight. Get yourself some medication if you need it. Its easier than you might think & helps a lot even if just for a few days to get back on track

              1. Zenith UK
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 8 months ago

                If I don't sleep tonight I will, but I think I'm going to sleep like a baby. Today's conversation and closure meant we both walked away smiling, albeit but hurting.

  11. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    To those who replied to me on Thursday night, thank you. Life is seriously hard. I managed to give and get some closure, but thank you for all your messages. It was greatly appreciated and why I love the community!

            No problem Zenith. It’s nice when people take some time out to show concern. Glad you got that from the FFS community. Hope you have a good FF week too

            1. Zenith UK
              • 9 Years

    Any idea of FH 34 team ?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Kind of picks itself looking at the fixture list.

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Bit like this week then

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Here we go, come on Andreas The Angel!

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Clean sheet point would be most welcome

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        15+ points I’m feeling!

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I'd take 6

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Tbh I'd probably deal on 3

  15. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Best DGW to use FH 34 or 37 ?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Depends how your team is setup for those GWs without FH

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Majority was 32

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I'm leaning 37 now

      Will bring in two more double gwers and I’ll have 8

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years

  17. GENERATION X

    Great save John Sena

  18. djskope
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I know it's somewhat team dependent, but in general, it is better to wildcard before GW33? (otherwise almost everyone in my team has non-hauling away fixtures - will be optimising for GW34) or to wait till after GW33?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I think WC33 is the move

  19. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Scored 23 from Marty, Saka & Gabriele last night:

    New Pre-Subs
    1,329,138

    Old
    1,365,244

    New Post-Subs
    1,336,135

    Basically it didn't move the needle. Does that mean that 1.3 million players ahead of me all had the same trio?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      But, imagine if you didn't have them...

    2. Bushwhacker

  24. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years

    Uuuhm no such thing as a back pass anymore?

    1. boc610
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      it happens so infrequently that when it does its missed. its like peoples brains just trick them into believing nothing happened, no one in the crowd, no players and no officials saw it even though it was plain as day

      1. Dr.Acula
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        leeds players wud have protested surely tho no? i wud have gone mad!

        1. boc610
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          no one said a thing, no shout from the crowd. not even the commentator until he realised he missed it

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Absolutely

      March probably as with Veltman injury Mac10 likely to play deeper

        RDZ said Veltman could be back within a couple of weeks so he might be fine by next week
