Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest sees Omar Alderete return for the Black Cats after missing last week's match. Head coach Regis Le Bris confirmed Nilson Angulo and Bertrand Traore may accelerate recoveries. Forest's Callum Hudson-Odoi faces a season-ending thigh injury, while Murillo (muscle) is ruled out but Dan Ndoye returns. Key FPL notes: Sunderland's Nordi Mukiele ranks second among defenders for big chances (7), and Enzo Le Fee (£4.8m) scored an assist in Gameweek 33. Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.5m) leads midfielders with 33 points in four games.

Fulham vs Aston Villa (12:30 BST) and Liverpool vs Crystal Palace (15:00 BST) carry injury uncertainties. Liverpool's Alisson may return after weeks of absence, while West Ham defender Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.4m) leads FPL defenders with 42 points in four matches. Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes (£7.1m) continues home dominance with eight clean sheets.

Manchester United vs Brentford (20:00 BST) features Bruno Fernandes (£10.3m), who created 19 assists this season - 48 more than United's next highest. Brentford's Jordan Henderson remains a doubt. Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa (shoulder) and Tottenham's Pedro Porro (8 shots in six games) add fantasy intrigue. Arsenal's Kai Havertz (£7.3m) leads forwards with four big chances in Gameweek 33.

Injuries reshape Fantasy Premier League strategies: 20% of top 100 FPL players are listed as out or doubtful this weekend. Defenders like Mavropanos and Van Dijk offer defensive stability, while midfielders Gibbs-White and Salah (3 goals in four matches) drive attacking returns. Update frequency remains critical as 15+ players face fitness races ahead of Monday's Man Utd clash.
