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

    2. Dacra
      • 11 Years

      I'm 1 behind if you include current bps.

  8. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    The 'give it to player x' replies to the official fpl Twitter account is some of the worst patter out there.

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

      Give it to VVD

  9. Leao ball
    • 7 Years

    Everything is going great except robertson. Hope moreno gets injured soon

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You got 8 mins for him to come on

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

        As if Moreno couldn't be an ymore of an annoying entity. No doubt will get subbed much later than that.

    2. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You're wishing a player gets hurt so you can get some FPL points?

      1. Kellz86
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        yeah no kidding

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

        I'm with him. My FPL points are more important to me than a player's short term health.

        1. Majestic Chanka
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Well Moreno’s anyway

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Moreno at 4.2? Good bench fodder or cover a Robertson rest?

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

        Wasts of a Liverpool spot.

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

    Welp I'm in trouble asI had him as Captain, unless Lacazette scores against Palace, Robertson better not come on as a sub.

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

    Already on 38 points as things stand.

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

      You legend you. Tell us again soon

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

      That's amazing news, be sure to tell more people. How about a jaunt up your local high street talking to vendors and local shoppers, may even get a free coffee out of it, you absolute winner.

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

      How

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Don't ask him mate. He's dying to brag

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

    Fabinho looks a mile off the pace

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

      Eh? Looks so calm and composed, this is too easy for him, its his style of play he looks lazy in a way, he'll be a permanent starter in no time

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

        Misplacing easy passes and lacking any energy. Worst Liverpool player on the pitch

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

          Open your eyes

  13. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Bringing Salah in for Hazard (-4) and captaining him seems like a wise decision so far (unless Hazard is fit and outscores him tomorrow)! Initial first transfer Pereyra!

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

      Getting rid of the season's best player because of a yellow flag for one game week is not a wise decision imo.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        What's your overall rank my man? I did the same with Hazard when he banged a hatty and shot up the rankings as a result. So I don't think you're in a position to argue with someone with a 15k OR.

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

          What a pathetic reply.

          1. Milk, 1 Šuker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            Thanks for your contribution

              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Sorry I'm not in the top 15k so I can't give you anything useful.

              1. Milk, 1 Šuker
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 5 months ago

                I'm done

        2. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Calm down mate, he just give his opinion. Dont have Liverpool player so need big couch now.

          1. Milk, 1 Šuker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I know, it's only a game. Bigger things to worry about in life. It might be a low scoring game, so perhaps you won't need a big space to hide in!

  14. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

    Give Wilson goal to Fraser

    1. Dacra
      • 11 Years

    2. Rainer

    Glen Hoddle seriously ill. Rushed to hospital from studio.

  21. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Glen Hoddle 🙁 spurs legend. Get well my man

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

      Absolutely

  22. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Serious question,
    TAA owners, are we taking today as a bonus but still need to get him out as he’s a rotation risk long term. Arsenal away next.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Bench him next week

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

      He's staying in my team. That's me though. There is no 'we'.

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

        Apologies, I didn’t finish school so sometimes my wordings are all scruffy like

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

      Keeping for Fulham at least. May ditch on WC

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

      I'm probably keeping. Have decent cover in Bennett and AWB and likely more important transfers.

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

        Tough games for Bennett and WB next week though.

    5. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He's not a priority to shift at the mo, for me at least.

      • Egbunike
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Out to get Mendy. Have also Robbo.

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

          That was my planned move, Mendy home to Southampton next week.

      • thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Keeping him as I have Knockaert and he has to go.

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

          You’re probably right there

    6. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Jeff Stelling almost in tears at the news that Glenn Hoddle collapsed and has been taken ill. Heart breaking 🙁

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

        "TV tears" the guy is an actor with no knowledge of football.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Wtf?

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

          No need.
          What do you want him to do? He announced the news in the dignified way it deserved.

        3. Milk, 1 Šuker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Come on mate, have a bit of sensitivity

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

          Classy

        5. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          You should be banned for disrespect like that.

      2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Grim news.....

    7. LIARS POKER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Plan was to ship Wilson for Arnie given the fixtures but if Mitro blanks again today am I better off getting rid of him instead?

      I know they have Huddersfield up next but seems like taking out an in-form player in a team that look decent could backfire despite the fixtures

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Keep Mitro until the fixtures turn after next week and then ship to Arnie. The way Bournemouth are playing attacking football, they can score against united

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

        Same dilemma, I'll probs up hold Mitro for Hudd then sell.

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes. Fulham's upcoming fixtures not all that obliging. I'm shipping Mitro soon too, I think.

      4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        yeah have mitro and king .Dunno who to ship out have to wait and see.But huddersfield are getting smashed now tho.Need to see how utd look too

    8. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      OMG Salah in the baps 🙂

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

        He always is until deductions. Needs 2 goals for any chance of a bap.

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

        Won't last. Never does.

      3. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Same as last week

      4. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Not for long

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

      As a Liverpool fan, I want a second please. 1-0 in second half could end up being nervy.

    10. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robertson can no longer get CS points this week.

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

        Unless the match goes to extra time.

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

          Straight to pens this season

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

        Good.

      3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Still want him to come on. I'm an owner. @f*k scummy bench points

    11. Leao ball
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If robertson plays from the begining of the second part does he get the xlean sheet points ?

      1. ♤TeddyBear♤
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        no

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

      If Robbo comes on now and they play 5mins ET at the end, he gets a CS, right?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        No

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

        Didn't think so. Players get 90 mins recorded regardless of first or second half injury time? Ie. They play 90 - whatever minute they come on.

      3. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        if they play 60mins extra time he gets 2 clean sheets.
