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

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

      Isaac? Him or Deulofeu? Worth jumping?

    2. dloh
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      or maybe kamara wagon inc again

    3. Schafsalat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 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!)

  3. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 months ago

      TAA owners still getting rid after Cardiff?

      1. GoodFella93
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

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

    3. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

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

    4. drughi
      • 16 Years

      I broke robertson, sorry owners

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Its ok, moreno will cause goals to go in

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

          Agree. Liverpool to concede today.

      2. tilope
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Me too. Think long term haha

    5. Monkey Hanger

      Mark's transfer this week AWB out Holebas in.

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

        You got the link for his team?

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

        Cos he wanted Richarlison to autosub in.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Did you (c) Salah?

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

            Yeah

            1. Dynamic Duos
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Good

          • 9 Years

          Bench wankery at its finest!

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

      Robertson & Trent owners:

      Would you rather had Robertson or Trent play??

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

        Trent. Less owners

      2. SPorting
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Whichever one I owned probably

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

        Trent points more beneficial.

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

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

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

        Trent easily.

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

        A trent haul would be magnificent

    7. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone else do AWB > Holebas?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Ignore, wrong account.....

        1. SPorting
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Busted Mark!

          1. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

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

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

          I knew it!!

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

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

    8. PaperTroopers
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 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.

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

        Hoping for one tbh, squad is threadbare

    10. A girl has no name
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 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 🙁

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

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

    12. Aubamazette
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo out = tripple wolves defence for me

    13. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Why did i bring in Holebas

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Justice for that grav

    14. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone else do AWB > Holebas?

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

        Mark.

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Why?

      3. SPorting
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Why would anyone do that?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 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.

    15. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      OMG Robbo owners 🙁

    16. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo to Mendy?

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

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

    18. \'ow much!
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

        Correct username for this week.

        1. Rash

    19. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      TAA starts, that's 1/3 risky.

      Hazard and Vardy to go.

    20. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

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

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

        Bennet

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

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

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Hopefully

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

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