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

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

  4. Rsforstar
    • 8 Years

    foster made some great saves today

  5. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So, Salah just won a corner, but does he lose bps for being tackled?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, because he was...... tackled.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        😮

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Kinda silly cause he didn't lose possession though.

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

          Them ones are dodgy yes, but Salah was 'dispossessed'.

          Plenty of dodgy ones in FPL 😀

        2. Mic
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I agree actually

  6. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hoddle paying for the sins of a past life?

    Dislike the guy intensely. But even I hope he is ok.

      What happened?

      1. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Collapsed in the BT Sport studios this morning, seriously ill in hospital

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

        Rushed to hospital. Stroke, heart attack or something

      3. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Taken seriously ill whilst appearing on BT.

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Why do you dislike him intensely?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hoddle has said some horrible and stupid things. Obviously nothing to deserve this though.

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

          Such as? I'm not disagreeing I just genuinely haven't heard them.

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            He said that disabled people are being punished for sins that have committed in previous lives.

          2. Monkey Hanger
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Disabled people are that way due to sins of a past life.

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

              Did he say that or just that he believes in Buddhist philosophy?

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 5 months ago

                In fairness, is this any more stupid or horrible than a big all knowing sky daddy who created everything?

                1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
                  • 11 Years

                  Rupert Murdoch?

        2. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I know about the past life stuff obviously but that's no crazier than any other religious beliefs.

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

            Wow.

    3. PepTalk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      That's very big of you

    4. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Can't say I'm more bothered than anyone else I don't know getting ill.

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

        Such a spiteful thing to come out with.

      • jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        You would say it best if you said nothing at all (clown)

      I liked it more when there were goals.

    6. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Who assisted the Salah goal? FPL say Wi, Sky say Mane

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

        FPL are right.

      2. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Mane > Wij > Salah

      3. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Gini, 0 chance it was mane

      4. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Wij

    7. La Roja
      • 14 Years

      Duffy misses an open goal

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years

        Spot the differential

      2. Fred54

        My Robbo 'sub.'

    8. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hudd nearly passed the ball into their own net

    9. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      So many damn bodies back there for Cardiff. Hard to create anything

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Every week, my captain seems to face the dreaded parked bus. Good times!

        1. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Captain whoever you have playing Fulham or Huddersfield. They have no bus.

    10. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Brighton defense look steady?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Doherty missed a big chance to score. But other than that - yes.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks as ryan and Doherty owner, I don't know how to react lol

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Ryan and Boly for me. 0-0 would be ideally, they’ll surely both be in the baps with that result.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Tight game. Supposedly Doherty should have scored.

    11. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lol Duffy wtf open miss

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

        He started Pat, Bennett & Doherty.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Lol

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

      How does Pereyra look other than the goal?

      Bringing him in for Knockaert seems sensible.

    13. Son is Rising
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone watching the Bournemouth game? Brooks involved much?

    14. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Cardiff barely with one completed pass per minute

    15. How Mina You
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Fulham are an absolute mess. You really can't buy cohesion, no matter how much money you throw at the team.

    16. Dele
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Any chance of another Salah goal plz

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Of course there is. Its the 45th minute

    17. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone selling points?

    18. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lallana nearly, beautiful cross from Moreno

    19. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Liv not going for more goals when leading, Salah not worth 13m

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Okay.

      2. MyBall MyRules
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Salah bit justifying 13m, but liverpool not going for more goals???

    20. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      5 pts from 5 🙂

      Do one FPL

    21. tm245
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Cardiff clears Lallana header with last touch of the half.

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

      Are Fulham creating anything?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        They haven't created anything since commissioning that weird Michael Jackson statue.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          We all know Fulham was Jackos favorite team.

      2. Sif
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        debt?

    23. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Any chance of Robbo not coming on?

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If three injuries happen

    24. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not much hope of Allison getting a save point today...

    25. altan8797
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      what a waste of a week!

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

      If Salah finishes with 8 points, is it okay for Mane cappers?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It’ll have to be

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

        Depends how many points Mane has

      3. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It’s worse than if he scored 2, but better than if he scored 15.

      4. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Depends how much Mané scores...

    27. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wow, Foster actually making some saves for once 😯

    28. Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, taht is Cardiff, but Moreno looked pretty good. If he could keep such form, he could get occasional start.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He's always looked good going forward. His problem is he can't defend

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

          To be fair, he had couple of good defensive actions.

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

            I disagree mate. It's like it always is with his 'good' defensive actions, they're more due to his awful positioning than his strengths in defending.

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

              We probably do. He should have assist as well.

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

        He looks good cos he hasn't had to defend 😉

      3. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        he looks good ? lol. are we watching same match ? he is awful in attack, slow every attack and retain possesion when he doesnt need to
