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

WATFORD XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Masina, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Deulofeu, Pereyra, Success

HUDDERSFIELD XI: Lossl, Jorgensen, Schindler, Lowe, Mbenza, Mooy, Hogg, Billing, Durm, Pritchard, Depoitre

      humblebrag lol... bringing to attention your prophetic ability... wouldn't apologise, I doubt Klopp saw it and based his decision on it.

    Success wagon inc?

    1. Madderegern
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Isaac? Him or Deulofeu? Worth jumping?

    2. dloh
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      or maybe kamara wagon inc again

    3. Schafsalat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I got him in my starting 11. Hope for once a forward change pays off - I tend to get rid right before they start scoring (Auba being the worst of the lot!)

  2. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Feel this overwhelming impulsion to remind the simple folk that Robbo has not been ‘dropped’ but merely rotated for longevity of the season ahead

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If it's one game this season you would like to have him play it is this one

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Would prefer Fulham at Anfield actually, however, that is irrelevant when it comes to the semantics of some people on this forum

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      TAA owners still getting rid after Cardiff?

      1. GoodFella93
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yes for me, TAA, Lovren and Gomez playing for two positions it looks.

    3. MTPockets
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Well, we don't acually know that (just to repeat earlier discourse on TAA).

  3. drughi
    • 16 Years

    I broke robertson, sorry owners

    1. Sánchez
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Its ok, moreno will cause goals to go in

      1. PaperTroopers
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Agree. Liverpool to concede today.

    2. tilope
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Me too. Think long term haha

  4. Monkey Hanger
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Mark's transfer this week AWB out Holebas in.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      You got the link for his team?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        4668

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Cos he wanted Richarlison to autosub in.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Did you (c) Salah?

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Good

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Bench wankery at its finest!

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

    Robertson & Trent owners:

    Would you rather had Robertson or Trent play??

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Trent. Less owners

    2. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Whichever one I owned probably

    3. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Trent points more beneficial.

    4. Rocky FPL
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Trent on freekicks, though Robertson is more likely to get baps and assists. So a tough one.

    5. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Trent easily.

    6. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A trent haul would be magnificent

  6. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else do AWB > Holebas?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ignore, wrong account.....

      1. SPorting
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Busted Mark!

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Well managed to keep it secret for 6 years, which isn’t bad....

      2. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I knew it!!

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      As a Holebas owner, I warned one guy... 😮

  7. PaperTroopers
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Have Robbo and Holebas. Duffy and Bennett to come on.
    Also have Hazard so could end up with only 10 playing, though I still think he will play.

    Not the end of the world, but annoying.

  8. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Fear for a Robbo cameo now...was shocked and forgot to replace him with Doherty

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Hoping for one tbh, squad is threadbare

  9. A girl has no name
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    FML!
    Brought in Holebas for WanB instead of Peltier for doing Mane to Hazard free next week.
    King Holebas Robbo in starting 11.
    Only got 2 defenders playing this gameweek 🙁

  10. Brosstan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Need a Brighton goal today. Loads of Wolves def going around.

  11. Aubamazette
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Robbo out = tripple wolves defence for me

  12. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Why did i bring in Holebas

    1. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Justice for that grav

  13. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else do AWB > Holebas?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Mark.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why?

    3. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why would anyone do that?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        AWB has terrible fixtures. Watford have good fixtures and Holebas is on set pieces. Without hindsight it made sense. With hindsight, Kiko Femenia was the one to get.

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    OMG Robbo owners 🙁

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Robbo to Mendy?

  16. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Wait, people got Holebas in after Watford kept a CS without him?

  17. \'ow much!
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Half hour before deadline I brought in Robertson and King (for Bennett and Sturridge) for a -8 hit! my captain is now Brooks of Bournemouth. Vardy and Hazard in my team looking doubtful too. This after watching and waiting for any team news - carnage! might need ALL outfielders off my bench today - Siggy, Docherty, and AWB

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Correct username for this week.

      1. Rash
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Lol

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ouch

    3. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Wtf ...

  18. Dacra
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    TAA starts, that's 1/3 risky.

    Hazard and Vardy to go.

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who is better to come from the bench for Robbo: AWB or Bennet?

    1. Rocky FPL
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bennet

    2. cheekumz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bennet... that game has 0-0 written all over it, imo

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Hopefully

  20. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Blimey, one player gets a week off or a cameo and the world goes nuts.

  21. Surfeit of Lampteys

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    My bench was "killing last weeks. 20 - 27 pts. And I didn't need it. This week looks like I'll need it. Hope for similar numbers, not 1pters 🙁

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Haz(c) not really going to hurt owners who haven't captained then.

  26. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Liverpool to concede in the 4th minute before Moreno is dragged of with an injury in the 23rd minute and then Klopp brings on Robbo

    1. LeicesterA
      • 11 Years
