Get ready for another action-packed Premier League weekend! We've gathered all the essential team news and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) stats to help you fine-tune your squad and stay ahead of the game.
The action kicks off Friday night with Leeds hosting Burnley in a 20:00 BST showdown. As managers hold their weekly press conferences, we'll keep this page updated with the latest injury updates and lineup clues.
Leeds vs. Burnley: Injury Watch
Leeds will be without Gabriel Gudmundsson, who's sidelined with a serious hamstring injury. Noah Okafor is also a concern after picking up a calf problem in last week's FA Cup semi-final defeat. For Burnley, Scott Parker's departure on Thursday has left a cloud of uncertainty, with Josh Cullen, Connor Roberts, and Jordan Beyer still out. However, Hannibal Mejbri and Axel Tuanzebe could return after missing the loss to Manchester City.
FPL Hot Takes
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) ended a dry spell with a penalty in Gameweek 33, but it's his only goal in eight league matches—and he's missed eight of nine big chances in that span. Leeds' Noah Okafor (£5.6m) has been on fire with three goals and an assist in his last three games (31 points), but that calf issue makes him a risky pick. Burnley's Zian Flemming (£5.3m) is a sneaky away-day specialist, having scored in each of his last three road trips.
Brentford vs. West Ham: What to Expect
Brentford are sweating on the fitness of Jordan Henderson, Vitaly Janelt, and Rico Henry, all still recovering from injuries. Head coach Keith Andrews is expected to provide a full update in his Friday press conference. West Ham, meanwhile, are almost at full strength. Boss Nuno Espirito Santo reported only "small knocks" and expects everyone to be available.
FPL Insights
Brentford's Dango Ouattara (£5.8m) has been a creative force at home, with six shots and eight chances created in his last three matches at the Gtech Community Stadium. Teammate Igor Thiago (£7.4m) has been a scoring machine, netting 12 goals from 46 shots across 17 home appearances—only Erling Haaland (£14.5m) has better numbers (14 goals, 61 shots). West Ham's captain remains a steady captaincy option if you're looking for reliability.
