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

    If Robertson comes on before 30th minute when Liverpool 1-0 down and they concede no more goals does that count as clean sheet for Robertson?

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

      Yes, and keep dreaming.

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

        I know..... probably better to hope does not come on and Palace get clean sheet with Tomkins goal from AWB assist!

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

      Yes

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

      I guess? But that’s wishful thinking...

    4. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      yes

    5. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes and i benched

    6. NABIL - FPL otai

      "Wishful non robbo owner"

  3. BON
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hilarious seeing all the Salah doubters come crawling back this week and ripping their teams apart.

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

      Hilarious to wait for good fixtures

  4. hannibalos
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Feeling is terrible. Robbo, Holebas and Gray not starting. I guess 26.6K was way too good to preserve. But with FPL you never know. But things look very tough for me this time. Good luck to all.

    1. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      you have three bench players, right?

      1. hannibalos
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yeap but not the best for this week in theory. Siggy, Bennett and Camarasa

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

      Good luck mate

      1. hannibalos
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers mate. Take good care

    3. windowview
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Same here, got to get Gray out of my team next week

      1. hannibalos
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It was already planned for me to do Gray to Arnie this week cause I have kept 1.1M in the bank for that exact reason mate ( barring any injury)

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

      very similar to me but different players - looks bleak. Hoping for a miracle and some weird results to match some weird team selections!

  5. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Surely if Liverpool are walking it in it would be offensive players subbed? Salah and mane perhaps with lallana too

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

      Exactly. Expect to see The Studge and Shaq get runouts, not Robbo.

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

    Top 10k Captains:

    Salah 54% - 110% EO
    Mane 15% - 45% EO
    Hazard 12% - 104% EO
    Kun 4% - 85% EO
    Robbo 3.8% - 76% EO

      Im in trouble if mo goes big

    2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Random 20k aka overall has become quite pointless. 100k would be a nicer indicator.

    3. Pillson
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry, but what does EO mean?

  7. TAArt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

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

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years

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

        Only weekday mornings, not weekends.

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

    I knew knew knew TAA would start this week, but couldn't afford to lose the 100k on him so transferred to Robertson prematurely for a -4 !!

  10. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How well do you think richarlison Capt will do?

    1. *sigh*

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

  11. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years

  12. Bragazeti
    • 8 Years

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            😮

  20. Benteke Fried Chicken
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard (C), Robertson (VC)... what are the chances.. robertson gets benched for the first time!

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

      Haz c was dumb.

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

      Dont armband flagged players

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

        (learned that the hard way with kane TC last year)

  21. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Yawn.

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

    Sky Sports showing fake silence at Craven Cottage.

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

      I'm not sure how you show a noise, let alone a silent one.

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

        They clearly muted the audio.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Are you there ?

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

        A football stadium is never 100% silent. Sky Sports faking the audio. Clear to see.

        1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Is this like a tree falling with no around?

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Oh , so it's pure speculation then.

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

    So already down, Robbo, Holebas and Hœjberg, that's with Hazard as my captain and still flagged. This could be a painful week? Anyone also using their full bench already?

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

    What's the deal with Hojbjerg?

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

      Ill apparently, not in the match day squad.

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

        Ah OK, I'll is better than injured!

        3rd sub, would likely need him this week if Trent wasn't playing, lucky.

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

      2 for 1 in Asda, oh wait that's Carlsberg.
