Injury Updates to Note

Best Chips for Double Gameweek 33
If your Triple Captain chip is available, in Double Gameweek 36, Man City face Crystal Palace and Brentford in the same Gameweek. Erling Haaland is a strong candidate for captaincy and may just deliver in a Double Gameweek.
Must-Have FPL Picks
Crystal Palace and Manchester City will play twice this weekend. Palace face both Everton and Man City in what should be two tricky fixtures, while Pep Guardiola’s men host Brentford and Crystal Palace at the Etihad.
Erling Haaland (£14.7m) has found his spark again, while Jeremy Doku (£6.5m), Nico O’Rielly (£5.3m) and Rayan Cherki (£6.6m) are all in good form for the title-fighting team. On Crystal Palace’s end Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.6m) is a safer bet than any defensive player.
Nottingham Forest are on fire, a sharp contrast to their early form this season. On paper, Newcastle should win this match. However, recent form suggests that Eddie Howe’s men may not be able to contain an in-form Nottingham Forest.
Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.6m) is carrying a foot injury, but may still feature and impress as he has been doing. Igor Jesus (£5.9m) and Taiwo Awoniyi (£5.2m) are also good picks for Fantasy Football Matchweek 36.
In the Premier League title race, momentum has shifted in Arsenal’s favour. High off securing a Champions League final for the first time since 2006, the Gunners are likely to win the London derby against West Ham this Gameweek.
Viktor Gyokeres (£8.9m) is quite comfortable in front of goal, while Bukayo Saka (£9.9m) is looking like himself again. David Raya (£6.1m), Gabriel (£7.2m), William Saliba (£6.2m) and Declan Rice (£7.2m) are other Gunners who FPL managers siuld consider.
Other Fantasy Football Matchweek 36 options include Manchester United’s Casemiro (£5.8m) and Bruno Fernandes (£10.4m), as well as Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi (£5.2m).
