Gabriel Gudmundsson (\u00a33.8m) missed out with a minor groin issue, while Joe Rodon (\u00a33.9m) and Anton Stach (\u00a34.8m) hobbled off. We\u2019ll have to await further word from Daniel Farke, who is at least one of the league\u2019s most helpful managers when it comes to team news.<\/p>\n<p>Karl Darlow (\u00a33.9m) offers FPL managers a budget Gameweek 33 alternative to Martin Dubravka (\u00a34.0m). Dominic Calvert-Lewin (\u00a35.6m) is also cheap up top, even if one goal in nine Premier League outings suggests that price tag is about right. At least he\u2019s on penalties.<\/p>\n<p>As for Bournemouth, James Hill (\u00a34.2m) will surely attract even more suitors now. A DefCon magnet, decent clean sheet potential in at least one Gameweek 33 match and cheap for a Bench Boost.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Tavernier\u2018s (\u00a35.4m) appeal was dented when Eli Junior Kroupi (\u00a34.7m) took a spot-kick in Gameweek 31, although the midfielder<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk\/2026\/03\/21\/fpl-notes-kroupi-on-pens-why-bruno-was-given-an-assist\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> does at least retain a share of penalty-taking duties<\/a>. He\u2019s also a fairly secure starter, unlike Kroupi. Tavernier has set-pieces in his locker, too.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Leeds nor Bournemouth have ideal entry points for Gameweek 32 Wildcarders: the Whites are away at Manchester United, the Cherries away at Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/FFScoutEditorial\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG-20250820-WA0000-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"price change predictions\" class=\"wp-image-144736 webpexpress-processed\" style=\"width:600px\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Double Gameweek 33 and Blank Gameweek 34 line-up is complete after Leeds United beat West Ham United&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[179848,171471,171472,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-514926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-blank-and-double-gameweeks","9":"tag-blank-gameweek-34","10":"tag-double-gameweek-33","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
