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

    5. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Actually not that surprised that Robbo got benched. At least everyone in the higher ranks is gonna get punished equally. Hopefully Doherty ruins the Brighton clean sheet...

      Have both Wilson and Fraser

      Man U and Newcastle away next, fixtures are turning

      Worth shipping at least one of them, or keep ?

      Think Man U might be a decent fixture, but Newcastle away is tough...

      1. In Bale We Trust
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I’m losing Fraser myself.

      Mitrovic useless

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

      Mane having a crap touch sets him up for a goal

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

      No Arnie confirmed!

    15. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Annoying to be a Salah owner when Mane outscores him 🙁

      1. Jolly Good
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        This ... massive rank drop

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

        The annoying thing is Mane has the touch of a trampoline and because of that poor touch he had a shot on goal. Granted it was a good hit, but undeserved opportunity

    16. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wow, Fulham are dreadful

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years

        I think they are in real trouble... staggering given the cash they’ve spent.

        Jay Egersdorff (no.1 on the Career HOF) did Zaha to Arnautovic
        Owen Walker (no.5 on the Career HOF) did Jonny, Sterling and Kamara to Robertson, Kenedy and Arnautovic for -4
        Mark Sutherns (no.8 on the Career HOF) did AWB to Holebas
        Lester Cheng (no.9 on the Career HOF) did Laca and AWB to Arnautovic and Robertson

        Even some of the best get it wrong / get unlucky.

          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          They been getting it wrong all season


          Maybe they not the best any more

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

            This. I love the reverence some of these people get. That said, Eggersdorf is usually top 5k which is no mean feat. I think HOF just reflects longevity sometimes.

        2. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Just unlucky with most of these
