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

    6. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He's pushing his luck a bit. 4.8ppg is good for his price but his form has nosedived recently.

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

        For his price you can shop yummy defenders

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

          Replacing with arnie next week if he is fit....

        2. Hulk Smash
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I'm not touching my defence, it's carried me all season

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

      It’s huddersfield next... doesn’t seem right.

      I said that re Bournemouth too though.

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

    Mitro owners at least got 2 points. More than Arnie got.

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

      Didn’t he get a yellow?

      1. Rojo's Modern Life
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yep

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      *1 point

    3. mir
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      1

    4. seewhyaxe
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I got both strikers...

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

      Own both. Plus three wolves defenders LOL.

  3. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Today couldn't go any better, currently on 53 from 5 players, not including BAPS. Scenes!

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

      It could go much better. Irbox is posting 65 with a host of good players to come.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Impressive. I've got Aguero, Hazard, Richarlison, Mendy, Alonso and a 2 pointer off the bench.

  4. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Yeah, definitely not going to hesitate to do the 'sideways' transfer of King > Wilson any longer.

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

      Agree. Wilson more dynamic.

      1. Dee Lixon
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Not worried by the fixtures getting tougher?

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

      You would really transfer in a Bournemouth player with their upcoming fixtures?

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

        Meh I just double checked. To be honest, I would be concerned but they're an attacking side and the bigger sides (bar Manu) play an open game. I expect them to still get returns...

        Not like there are many great mid priced strikers around now.

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

    Up the pool.

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

    That'll do Mo, that'll do 🙂

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

    Looks like Jokanovikj is gone

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

      Surely has to... all that money.

  8. Dosh
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I thought the Shaqiri goal would save me but nooo lol

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

      Save you from what?

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

        Not owning Salah/Mane

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

    Ryan 6 saves

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

      Been really good the last few weeks, hopefully can hang on

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

        He has great fixtures to come.

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

      Finally some pts for me from my keepers . Has been 3 years wait

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

        I know the feeling, have McCarthy & Foster, nearly took a hit to shift one of them the other week, then, they both keep cleanies 2 weeks running!

  10. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Almost did Mitro->Arnie. Dodged a bullet there!

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

      Not so sure...

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah really dodged a bullet lol

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

      That 1 pt could make all the difference

  11. suddenorgan
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Yedlin autosub for Robertson is probably my jammiest so far this season

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

      Exactly the same

      1. suddenorgan
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        There are DOZENS of us

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It means you got your bench order right so well done.

    3. andywalks5300
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I've got fraser coming on for robbo, my best auto sub so far this season....

      1. suddenorgan
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        never bench the Scottish cube

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

    I am salivating for Salah against Fulhqm

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

      Big Sam will be managing them by then

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

        This

  13. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ings is the new Tekkers.

  14. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Salah is so overpriced.

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

      ok

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

      New tune please...

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

    What will be final BPS? Salah 2 od 3?

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

      2

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

      2

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

      Probably 2.

    4. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Prob 2

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

    Players I considered and didnt buy this week:

    Foster 10pts
    Mane 15pts
    Salah 15 pts

    Awesome

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Why wouldn’t you buy Pool players with that fixture?

  17. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Great that Mane scored again. Not great Salah assisted. Need a yellow for the Egyptian now

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

      ...

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

      It’s ft

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

      Match over

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

      Your stream is behind

      He gets sent off

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

        Lol

  18. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Transferred out Mane this week for KDB. Was a bit drunk but can't blame the booze. Could be a season wrecking move. No Salah or Bournemouth players. Doherty / Mitro fails. Good start to the weekend with a massive 3 points.

    I do have Liverpool on 4-1 in my acca tho.

  19. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mitrovic vs Huddersfield next but no form.. hmmm

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

      But Huddersfield

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

        Think I may replace him with arnie if he is fit.....

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Arnie is a quality player but there's something not quite right this season. He's had a couple of injuries already and played

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Worth holding for another week but if he can't get returns in these games there seems little point in keeping him long term.

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

      My dilemma.

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

    Ryan denies Bennett late on

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

      Wow. I have them both

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

  21. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Thanks Mane... for saving my asss...

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

    Foster!!!!

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

    Feeling a bit dumb with Foster playing and Ryan benched. All the time I spent agonising over the decision and it amounted to basically nothing.

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

    25% own Wilson!! Shi7

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

    Mitrovic got a yellow too? Damn youuuuuu

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

      Hard to justify Mitrovic with Wilson in such form

  26. Vobinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    67 with Alonso, Mendy, Richarlison, Hazard & Vardy to go... finally a good week!

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

      Vardy benched

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

        Yeah thought he would be, hoping for a return off the bench

  27. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else have Fraser and Wilson? 😎

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

  28. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Surely can't get rid of Mitro before Huddersfield?!

  29. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What happened to Arnie? Brought him in for a hit for Kane :/

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      "Illness"

    2. Jayv807
