Fantasy Premier League managers were given an unexpected shock as Andrew Robertson (£6.4m) was benched for the first time this season.

Jurgen Klopp named Alberto Moreno (£4.2m) in the left-back position for Liverpool’s Gameweek 10 clash with Cardiff City.

There was relief in other areas of the squad though as Mohamed Salah (£12.9m), Sadio Mané (£9.7m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) were all reunited in the starting line-up.

Glenn Murray (£6.6m) kept his place in the Brighton line-up to face Wolves despite going off with a serious-looking head injury in Gameweek 9.

Their opponents made a change for the first time in a league fixture this season with Adama Traoré (£5.5m) coming in for Diogo Jota (£6.0m).

Another week, another defensive change for Fulham. Sergio Rico (£4.4m) comes in for Marcus Bettinelli (£4.4m) in goal. Bournemouth come to Craven Cottage with Josh King (£6.4m) not in the matchday squad following the ankle problem he picked up over the international break.

Despite being available after suspension, José Holebas (£4.8m) and Christian Kabasele (£4.5m) have not gone back into the Watford starting XI.

BRIGHTON XI: Ryan; Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong; Jahanbakhsh, Stephens, Kayal, Izquierdo; March; Murray

WOLVES XI: Rui Patrício; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, Jonny; Hélder Costa, Traoré; Jiménez

FULHAM XI: Rico, Le Marchand, Fosu-Mensah, Ream, Odoi, Seri, McDonald, Schurrle, R. Sessegnon, Mitrovic, Kamara

BOURNEMOUTH XI: Begovic, Francis, S. Cook, Ake, Smith, Lerma, L. Cook, Daniels, Fraser, Brooks, Wilson

LIVERPOOL XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Moreno, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Mane, Salah, Firmino

CARDIFF XI: Etheridge; Bennett, Bamba, Morrison, Ecuele Manga; Murphy, Gunnarsson, Camarasa, Hoilett; Reid; Paterson

SOUTHAMPTON XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Bertrand, Stephens, Hoedt, Romeu, Lemina, Elyounoussi, Redmond, Ings, Austin

NEWCASTLE XI: Dubravka, Dummett, Lascelles, Fernandez, Yedlin, Ritchie, Shelvey, Diame, Kenedy, Perez, Muto

    Transfer in a Liverpool defender they said

    Nailed on clean sheet they said

    Double or even triple up on em they said

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      well it had been nearly 16 hours since they conceded at home

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      2020 hindsight’s a great thing

    3. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I was positive Cardiff would score. It's always the nailed on clean sheet that screws you. They done it to me v Chelsea a few weeks ago too.

    4. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        That was just the Robertson owners

      • Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        But you went Cardiff instead?

      • Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        To be fair, you shouldn’t blindly follow what other people say - especially those who struggle to get 10k finishes - but in any case, given Liverpool’s defensive record and given they were playing one of the worst sides, particularly from an attacking point of view who were going to be without Josh murphy, it was perfectly logical advice. You would make that double up defence choice every time.

    5. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wilson or Murray?

      1. GoonSquad
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Wilson, no question

      2. Kevin 11
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I think Murray with those fixtures

      3. Begbie.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Wilson. Bournemouth better and more attacking. 3 of Murray's next 4 away from home and he seems to do better at home.

    6. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      still good for Pereyra into the team or already too late as the next 2 are away games?
      thanks

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Depends on the out for me. If its for Wally Ramsey (non performers)etc then its a good move

        1. Weilong7
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          coincidentally im looking to ship out wally... shld have done it this gw though.. pondered but never did it and regretting now.. sigh

          1. Ghost Gooner
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Hard luck man. Hopefully Wally gets a goal or assist to ease the pain

      2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        IHDK!!l...lol
        Kept him for that run of 5 Blank-GW’s; Lost Faith and shipped him out last week; and now Back-2-Back Goals (plus he’s had 2 promising performances; literally out of nowhere, imo!—cause I watched him closely during that Blank-Run)
        **Long Story Short= Currently setup to Troll anyone trying to chase his points again? Or starting an epic point run?
        Personally, I’ve gotta Hold Off, on bringing him BACK In

    7. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      Going to be some jerking going on tonight 🙂

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Kinky!

      2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Jerking all over the place

    8. The Road Dogg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      That late double wipe out of the Liverpool clean sheets really stung! Now I’m angry. Over 900 mins without conceding at home and Cardiff score...

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It was a goal from nothing. Although that's what happens when Moreno finally gets a game

        1. The Road Dogg
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah especially with Robbo benched the double clean sheet would have been huge

      2. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Theey conceded at home in the EFL and champions league

      3. Kevin 11
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Fraser > Delfoeu or Capou
        want to free up some funds but also have someone to play as 4th mid

        1. Begbie.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Not for me. Fraser is a must-keep until he proves otherwise.

        2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Vs those two I’d keep to be honest despite fixtures. If you are getting a major upgrade like a Fraser to KDB then do it.

      4. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        As an owner of Robbo and TAA ,i can't believe my luck in the last 2 games.

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Win some you lose some looked a good plan in theory as i had done the same

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Same here.

      5. Deli Alli OxenFree!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        WOW! wtf is going on?!
        SO MANY TEAMSHEET-SURPRISES TODAY!
        ______Current GW Casualties:
        •Robbo(own)
        •King(own)
        •Holebas
        •Arnie(own)
        •and Vadry!!!
        ...that 3 DOWN(my entire bench), and its only Day-1!
        (don’t even wanna think about Hazard or ManCity !!)

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Carnage. Vardy will more than likely come on at some point if that helps.

          1. Deli Alli OxenFree!
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            At least I got Salah(c), and Fraser’s Assist-Brace!
            Honestly, I’m most gutted by Arnie not even in the team!
            ...really think he could’ve gone nuts this week!

      6. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        i should retire from FPL... i had no liverpool players agains cardiff

        1. lamagica
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          but do you have wilson and fraser in your team?

      7. Gríma Wormtongue
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        How's this look?

        Ryan
        Robertson / Alonso / Mendy / Rice
        Salah / KDB / Hazard / Mane
        Murray // Wilson

        Button / Bennett / Romeu / Success

      8. Zebrahimović
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mitro our for Murray or Wilson? The popular dilemma

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Might go to Success and Wan-Bissaka to Trippier with a 4-4-2.

          1. BigBarn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Oooh, great minds, etc.

        2. BigBarn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          One is rubbish away and has a lot of forthcoming away fixtures, the other one is great but really does have a tough run. Considered downgrading to Success and reinvesting?

        3. GoonSquad
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Watching LEI today first, but may try Iheanacho.

      9. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Bournemouth 6th in the league, playing some nice looking football... I think Howe deserves huge credit. Been saying this for a while, but I would like to see how he does in a bigger club.

      10. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Fabianski and Maddison playing, Arnie absent. What should I cheer for in this game?

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          For Fabianski and Maddison getting as many points as possible I guess 😛

        2. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          0-0

        3. GoonSquad
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Maddison 3 assists.

      11. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Pat Button
        Mendy Robertson TAA Doherty WanB
        Salah Hazard Richarlison Knockaert Hojbjerg
        Arnie Mitro Aguero

        Knockaert my bigger issue? Swap to Pereyra a good move. Give Mitro Huddersfield and swap him to Murray.

      12. joeydelucchi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Does anyone have Gomez, Robbo, Vardy & Arnie? Wouldn’t of seen that coming surely?!

      13. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Form over fixtures - Keep Wilson and Fraser.

        Ignore the groupthink.

      14. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        With 2 ft , I feel Patrico and Bennett might be overkill for wolves cover.would anyone replace Patricio for fabinaski or foster?

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Fabs imo, he has good fixtures until gw 21.

      15. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Sold Mané, don't have Salah and did Haz(c) Robbo (VC).. Down the rankings I tumble.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Ouch, Hazard could still play and haul though, don't think it was worth selling Mane for anyone except Salag this week imo

      16. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Success coming in for Robertson...

        Success

        1. Wizard of Ozil
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Ha ha. Go and buy a lottery ticket.

      17. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Could do with Leicester goal to wipe out that Flappyhandski clean sheet.

      18. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        That goal does not surprise me at all - as a side we look lost with very little in the way of ideas.

      19. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I have missed why Arnie is not playing, or even on the bench...

        Someone?

      20. child of God
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Kdb, anyone?

      21. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Time for Ings to go but for who? Have 6.9

      22. migas2k7
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Best up to 6.0 mid for next games? And why.

      23. RonChi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Can somebody tell me what is up with holebas
