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

    Well done to the Salah and Mane owners/captainers! After a good couple of weeks for the non-owners I should have wildcarded to get them in or taken a large hit.

  2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Step 1: Realize there isn’t an obvious captain this week and take a flyer on Robbo.
    Step 2: Figure that Mane is due a decent match and give him the V thinking ehhhh, just in case?
    Step 3: Profit.

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

      Sooo lucky

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Of course, tomorrow Haz who was my alternate V by default is going to bag a hatty... 😀

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years

      Massive chungle, good for you

    3. Krionos

      There wasn't an obvious captain this week???

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Do enlighten.

    How did Wolves defend today? Starting to consider selling Doherty before Spurs and Ars games....

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

      Wolves the better team, didnt take their chances. Reason why BHA's defenders got top BPs

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Thanks

    2. 4-4-who?
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Brighton one shot on target. One goal. Wolves 7 shots on target...

  4. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Knockaert > Pereyra

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

    46 points post-BApS, not including Bennett autosub 2 pts.
    Kun, Rich, Haz, Fabs, Alonso and Mendy to go. Hopeful of good times ahead!

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

    Anyone get Salah in to fund Success?

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

    did

    Kane > Arnie
    Mane > Salah

    looks like I will be losing points from my transfer again this gw

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

      thought you were a fellow mane capper

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

    Wow, im on 58 with 6 players to go. Cant remember last time I had such a good start to the gameweek.

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

      Think a large majority started well, with Salah,Mane, Fraser and Wilson all performing well

  9. TAT
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is Izquierdo a good option going forward? Looking at Pereyra, but those Brighton fixtures…

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

    People on here acting like Hazard out is confirmed, is it? I'm Ootl

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

      Looks like it

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

      It isn't but seems to be

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

      Damn I'm playing with 10 this week if that's the case and Ricardo doesn't come on... Oh well.

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

      Could still play imo, but doesn't look good

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      he isn't deffo out.

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

    60 (-4) from 5, which is good.

    Mane and Kane to Salah and Vardy for the hit not so great though.

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

    get rid of:

    a} moura>bsilva
    b} hennessy>ryan

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

    Mane beat salah on xg with 0.72, while salah had 0.51.

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

      unlike last mane brace with a single salah goal

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

      Salah just can't cover him.

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

      how? Salah's goal alone should have an xG of close to 1. It was an open goal.

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

        well the stats say otherwise

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

          Another example of how dumb xG is.

  14. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Or in short

    Success in for Robbo
    Kenedy in for Arnie
    WanB in for Haz?

    Subs matter.

  15. Champions united
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Wc time for me
    Early suggestions plzzz

    Foster
    Alonso dohert taa roboo
    Mane haz fraser
    Kun arnie mitro

    Fab neves hoj awb

  16. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So Periera has to go now.

    Need 0.3m to fund Periera > Mendy for -4.
    Downgrade which one
    Mitrovic
    Doherty
    Fraser
    Richarlison

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

      Rich

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

    ah F. If Hazard doesn't play, I get a sweet zero point Knockaert sub

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

      no other subs, he didnt play

  18. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Actually the shock for me was that Holebas didn't play and Arnie got the flu......

  19. BeDreamin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mane captain, but I also own Robinson, Holebas, Hazard, Vardy and Arnie I have Mendy and AWB coming of the bench

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What was Mendy doing on the bench on the first place?

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

        away to Tottenham. Alonso Holebas and Rob all had better chances of a cs

  20. CaTriEm
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Snodgrass used to be a solid FPL player and now he's getting minutes for West Ham due to injuries. Could end up being a bargain, or not. Probably not.

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

      I see Lord Farquad from Shrek is starting for Leicester. Always wondered qhat happened to him.

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

      Probably not sadly. Not on many set piece duties, Anderson seems to take all the corners/free kicks. Also Snodgrass has been playing CM recently rather than on the wing.

  21. Spokey
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is 62 pre baps with 6 to go any good?

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

      People on here are posting much higher scores so no.

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Taking the mickey? Of course it’s good.

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

    71 points with Agüero, Hazard, Maddison, Alonso and Mendy to play. Could break 100 this gameweek.

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

      bon

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Do you not have friends you could go drinking with?

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

    Aguero or Salah?

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

      Both!

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

        Not possible unless I ditch Mane...

  24. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with Mitro and Ings? Mitro going off the boil the moment I bring him in. I think Wilson ship has sailed considering Bournemouth fixtures, and Arnie appears to be injured. Maybe just hold for next game?

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

      Keep Mitro for next game v Huddersfield

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mitro gets one last chance probably

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

      Ings is cheap, I have him & still feel he will come good again as he is getting chances. I'm holding personally

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

      In the same boat. Really don't know what to do with them, might do Mitro to Arnie if he's back next week. Fulham and Southampton are both just awful

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

      Wait on Arnie. Their fixtures are good and maybe he is just ill.

      Saints are never going to score so ditch Ings. Fulham are terrible but surely they know Huddersfield is a six pointer and HAVE to score, surely.

    6. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Txs, will keep Mitro for now. No extra £ to upgrade Ings unfortunately,

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

    Is 50 points with Alonso, Mendy, Maddison, Hazard and Aguero left to play even considered good?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        avg is 27

      • Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        not really

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

        Average maybe?

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

        Sounds pretty terrible actually.

    2. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Feel like I've dodged a bullet today with no Salah, was 0.1 short of my favoured Salah & Schurrle with my freebie so went for Mane (c) & Ozil instead

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

      Firmino just isn’t the Liverpool cover. Luckily I realised and switched to Wilson in GW4.

      1. 4-4-who?
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Shipped him out in a Salah (c) wildcard move 🙂

    4. HD7
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Have Salah C
      Having also Mane would be nice
      But keeping Haz and seeing his next fixtures sees smart enough for me (Especially after the Success today 🙂 )

    5. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Started Doherty over Richarlison FAIIIIIIIL 🙁

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Richarlison can still get sent off 😉

    6. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      still good for Pereyra into the team or already too late as the next 2 are away games..
      thanks
