Three Tuesday matches kick off the midweek round of Gameweek 33, each starting 15 minutes apart. At 7:30pm, Wolverhampton Wanderers host Crystal Palace, with Aston Villa and Fulham starting at 7:45pm. Then, at 8:00pm, a big match down at the bottom pitting 16th-placed Leeds United against 17th-placed Leicester City.

The headline news is that Foxes duo James Maddison (£8.0m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.7m) are both in the starting line-up after recovering from injury. Coming in for Jamie Vardy (£9.1m) and Patson Daka (£5.6m), they are the only two changes made by Dean Smith

Leeds have swapped four players from the defeat at Fulham. Defenders Luke Ayling (£4.5m) and Junior Firpo (£4.5m) are in, just like Patrick Bamford (£7.1m) and Luis Sinisterra (£6.5m). Cheap forward Wilfried Gnonto (£4.8m) stays benched.

Another side with four changes is Crystal Palace. Roy Hodgson is still going with Eberechi Eze (£5.6m), Michael Olise (£5.6m), Sam Johnstone (£4.4m) and the usual centre-backs but Odsonne Edouard (£5.0m) makes way.

Mario Lemina (£4.5m) is unaffected by the hamstring issue picked up at Leicester, meaning he starts for Wolves. They’ve made three alterations, as captain Ruben Neves (£5.2m) and cheap full-back Hugo Bueno (£3.8m) start. Attacking midfielder Pablo Sarabia (£5.1m) rotates to the bench.

Then, at Villa Park, Unai Emery has the hosts unchanged from the 1-1 draw at Brentford. Usual suspects like Ollie Watkins (£7.7m), Tyrone Mings (£4.6m) and Alex Moreno (£4.5m) retain their places, plus goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (£5.0m) has recovered from a sickness bug.

Finally, Fulham’s only change is up front. Daniel James (£5.9m) was ineligible to face parent club Leeds but is back tonight, in place of Bobby Decordova-Reid (£5.4m).

GAMEWEEK 33 LINE-UPS

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sá; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Bueno; Nunes, Neves, Lemina; Hwang, Diego Costa, Cunha

Crystal Palace XI: Johnstone; Richards, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell; Milivojevic, Sambi Lokonga, Hughes; Olise, Ayew, Eze


Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; McGinn, Dendoncker, Douglas Luiz, Ramsey; Buendia, Watkins

Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Tosin, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Andreas, Willian; James


Leeds United XI: Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Firpo; Roca, McKennie; Harrison, Rodrigo, Sinisterra; Bamford

Leicester City XI: Iversen; Castagne, Faes, Soyuncu, Kristiansen; Soumare, Tielemans; Tete, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho

    How’s she looking? Same as all the others?

    Steele
    Trent, Dias, Shaw
    Salah, Grealish, Rashford, Mitoma, March
    Haaland, Jota

    Martial, Botman fodder

    1. Steve Stiffler

      Team looks solid, who is your sub keeper?

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Iversen

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years

      What are we looking at?

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        FH team

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer Ederson+ Estupinan instead of Steele & Dias

    4. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Why waste money to have Martial sat on the bench?

  2. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Whats everyones thoughts on Lindelof on a WC?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      'He is very cheap, isn't he....?' is most peoples thoughts I would assume.

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Mate hes dirt cheap haha might go with Dalot instead. Money is no real issue

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

          I'm considering him on WC. Is he nailed now then if Martinez out for season?

  3. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best 4.6 or less defender? Already own Botman.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Lindelof - Castagne are my other cheap ones

  4. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Stuck with two choices on a WC, help me out maybe?

    1) Ederson, Estupinan
    2) Steele, Dias

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      1

    2. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      If Steele plays tomorrow I prefer 2.

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      1

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry meant 1

    5. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve gone 2

    6. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      1

    7. Slitherene
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks everyone. Maybe Steele could be dropped towards the end of the season for Sanchez, so I am not taking the risk.

    8. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      1 by miles.

  5. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Who wants to give me a GK for the rest of the season? Utd, City or Brighton? Cheers

  6. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Evening guys for next week need to my transfers tonight for exact cash. Thoughts?

    A) Kane, Saka + Ake to Greenwood, Salah + TAA -4pts
    B) Kane, Saka, Bruno + Ake to Isak, Salah, Grealish + TAA -8pts (benching Isak v SOU)
    C) Kane, Saka, Ake + Raya to Greenwood, Salah, TAA + Ederson -8pts (11 DGW players)

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I like B

  7. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    RMWCT?

    Ederson | Iversen
    TAA Shaw Estupinan
    Salah Grealish Rashford Mitoma March
    Haaland Jota
    ¦ Coufal Neco Greenwood

    4.0 ITB

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tasty team mate, pretty similar to what I have but have gone with Dalot over Coufal and Trippier over Neco. Feel like i may have a benching headache.

      Are you just going to keep the money ITB or maybe upgrade a defender?

      1. Slitherene
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Jota and rotation in the congestion could be solved by Kane in the last few games for his Spurs career.

        1. Steve Stiffler
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          True that will see how he does over the next 2 gws. Good luck with the WC

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Like every other WC team

      1. Slitherene
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

  8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I just did my WC there now - I have not looked at any trends etc.

    But I landed on this - think I will keep it unless Konate is still a doubt.

    3-5-2

    De Gea (Steele)
    -
    Lindelof - Konate - TAA (Botman - Castagne)
    -
    Salah - KDB - Grealish - Mitoma - Rashford
    -
    Toney - Haaland (Greenwood)

    .1 itb

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Toney has tough fixtures for the rest of the season. Think I'd prefer Isak or Watkins

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. I don’t plan on keeping Toney for season. Just the Forest game seems too good to turn down. As I know Toney a definite starter plus on pens. I will have Isak back gw 36.

  9. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Exact funds for Saka/Watkins to Salah/Isak. Should I risk it or hold off and do other moves.

    Raya
    TAA Shaw Estu
    Saka Rashford Mitoma Mac Allister Grealish
    Jota Haaland

    Kepa Watkins Trippier Zinchenko

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Isak was one I was delighted to move on WC - even though he is on form. With fixture congestion and Wilson's form makes him a major question mark.
      If you are the type of person who gets annoyed if your player is benched go for another player. If you can take Isak getting 30 minutes now and again - go for him.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers I'd be benching him this week. He's mainly for gw36 when he should get some good mins over the dgw.

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

      Only predicted price change for that combo is a Watkins price rise which could be positive for you depending on purchase price

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Saka on -97.4 currently which is the worry.

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

          He dropped last night, he won't drop again tonight IMO
          Only -57% on FFFix and -48% on FPLHub

          1. _Ninja_
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Ok cheers.. and if Watkins does rise I'll make 0.1 on him. Didn't even realise till now.

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

              There you go
              Watkins rises
              No drop for Saka

  10. WATERMELONS
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    No FH team is below.

    Considering one of these moves for the rest of the season:

    A) Watkins > Jota
    B) Martinelli > Rashford
    C) Mings > Shaw
    D) A + B (-4)
    E) A + B + C (-8)

    Steele
    Trips TAA Botman
    Mitoma March Salah Grealish Martinelli
    Haaland Watkins
    Subs Raya Solanke White Mings

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      C or B+C if that's an option

  11. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Would you make either of these moves tonight? I have 0.1 left after each of them so will likely be priced out later in the week

    A: Henry Saka Bruno Toney > TAA Salah Andreas Isak (-8)
    B: Chilwell Saka Bruno Toney > Robbo Salah Andreas Jota (-8)
    C: Save and wait for rest of GW33 fixtures to play out

    Steele Raya
    Shaw Estupinan Trippier Chilwell Henry
    Rashford Grealish Mitoma Bruno Saka
    Haaland Watkins Toney

    2FT 1.9ITB

  12. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A) De Gea, Burn, Botman, KDB (3.5 ITB)
    B) Ederson, Tripper, Dalot, Grealish (0.2 ITB)

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Depends if you have smart future plans with the cash.... real estate, stocks and shares etc

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Load up on the crypto lad. And correction on the above A has 0.2 ITB and B has 3.5 ITB. Currently on A and was keeping the cash if I want to get Kane in for the last 4 gws

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Ah I see. On Kane - James from planet fpl has been slating his own team - Spurs - even before the Newcastle game. Against Bournemouth he noted Kane ended up playing as DMC.

          1. Steve Stiffler
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Take it DMC means defensive midfielder, lol ok will monitor that. He has to go in Summer if they continue to drop points right?

            1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
              • 16 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Funny thing is though Kane keeps chipping in consistently fpl wise so it is a weird one. If I was Kane would have been gone years ago - after Poch left.

              1. Steve Stiffler
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Yeah seen someone comment if Haaland wasnt there, everyone would be going mad for Kane this year he has been so consistent. Yes i agree mate, could have won so much for a better team

                1. FPL Virgin
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  2 years, 7 months ago

                  Stifmeister = legend

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Given KdB's price I'm surprised A) leaves so much more money available

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry yeah i meant the above correction mate

  13. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jayus it's great to wildcard and not have to look at the same players you had for ages all season. Andreas signed off with a nice 10 points though.

  14. Deer-in-headlights

    Please RMWCT: 0.0 in bank Thanks
    I've been trying for a workable threemium for the remaining fixtures.

    Ederson (Iverson)
    TAA Dalot Estupian (Trippier Dalot)
    March Mitoma Salah KDB Rashford
    Jota Haaland (Greenwood)

    1. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      *Dalot #2 should be Botman

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nah should've plaued it in 32. Doesn't seem to differ bar KdB

  15. Vman

    Hi folks,
    Looking to do!
