The final two matches of Gameweek 12 kick off simultaneously at 16:30 GMT, with the Manchester derby at the Etihad the stand-out fixture.

Arsenal take on Wolves at the Emirates in the other tea-time game.

Manchester City have made just one change from the side that beat Southampton last weekend, with Riyad Mahrez replacing Leroy Sane.

That alteration will likely see Raheem Sterling move over to the left flank, as he had done in the Champions League in midweek.

Sergio Aguero and Benjamin Mendy return to the City starting XI after being rested for that win over Shakhtar.

The injured Paul Pogba misses out altogether for United, while Romelu Lukaku is fit enough for a place on the bench after a return to training on Friday.

Alexis Sanchez drops out of the United line-up, meanwhile, with Marcus Rashford set to lead the attack.

Marouane Fellaini returns to a defensive-looking central midfield alongside Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic.

In north London, Unai Emery has made one change from the side that drew with Liverpool: Alex Iwobi replacing Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the right flank.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side remains unchanged, though Diogo Jota has recovered from injury to take his place among the Wolves substitutes.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Silva, Mahrez, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Coady, Bennett, Boly, Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty, Costa, Cavaleiro, Jimenez.

    That arsenal goal cost me dearly. Rival had Bilva who got his 2nd assist at exactly same time Doherty lost his clean sheet and bonus pts.

    Also I'm selling Mendy.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cool.

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        This.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I was gonna sell mendy too but I've calmed down now. You'll get punished soon

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I don't have pool defence tho. I think a swap may be better option long term. Not only is he not getting a clean sheet but attacking returns have evaporated

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Pool could have conceded and don't look solid. Mendy only lost his clean sheets to pens

        2. AndyCook
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I think come the end of the season City will have more clean sheets. They had 8 on the bounce in all competitions before Southampton. I would want a Liverpool defender but not as a swap.

  2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Imagine thinking selling Aguero was a good idea. The mind boggles.

  3. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Salah to Mane
    Shaquiri to Martial

    3. QUEN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I don’t think so. Most of my league 40-55

  5. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Ederson Hamer
    Alonso Robertson Mendy Doherty Duffy
    Barkley Hazard Salah Pererya Fraser
    Aguero Arnie Success

    2 FT 0.1 itb

    Players I’m considering: Martial, Sterling, Richarlison, Jimenez, Patricio

    Players possibly out the door: Salah, Barkley, Pererya, Success, Ederson

    So many options, what should I focus on?

  6. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    If you intend to wildcard in gw15 or 16, will you have....

    A....salah

    B...mane

    Thanks

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mane and use funds elsewhere.... the extra 3m will really help

    2. WoodsyOwl
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Neither.
      Own Salah and will hold until I wildcard I think.

    3. Rash
      • 9 Years

    4. Midlands Saint73
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Poor again, 40 after BPS. Probably out of the top 100K now from 25K two GameWeeks ago.

    5. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      56. Average.

    6. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years

  8. sweglet
    • 11 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Nope.

    2. lugs
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

  9. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    19 K OR and 58 points.
    Slight red arrow?

    1. squ1rrel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

  10. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years

    Should be a high score needed to qualify for the FFS Cup.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Any idea yet on LMS score?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Probably in the 40s or low 50s if lots of Robbo/Salah(c).

    2. Piggs Boson

  12. FPL Virgin

    It's lovely to see Pep and Klopp knock United off their perch.

    Hopefully United's prawn sandwich munching fans will put up with Mourinho for one more season.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Off their perch? They haven't been on their perch for many years

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Not since Scholes left.

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

      Liverpool have done nothing yet.

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Have you been in a coma for 7 years?

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    BPS look to be final now.

    Top10: 57
    Overall: 48

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      56 for me. Average this week - hopefully better next GW.

  14. yakirh
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hows that squad looking for the busy period?

    Fab
    DRAMA
    Haz Mane Rich Martial Fraser
    Kun Arnie Jimenez

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rotation galore

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Looks like it was posted for the acronym

  15. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A. Mane > Dilva
    B. Salah > Sterling

    1. Touré De Force
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years

        Thanks

  16. NorwichCityLad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I’ve got Wilson and Fraser but 2 tough fixtures would you keep still?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. french holiday
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Would see 1 atleast

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I might dump one of them

    4. Touré De Force
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Fraser is a season keeper

  17. french holiday
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Good to see Sir Alex witness the gulf in class at Manchester.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He's a wise man, I'm sure he knew beforehand

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I mind saying that he saw it coming when he got out. Got slated on here for it though.

  18. C'mon the Fylde
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Does anyone have any suggestions for this team?

    Ryan
    Alonso Mendy Robertson TAA
    Sterling Salah Hazard Fraser
    Wilson Arnautovic

    Patricio, Vokes, Billing, Bennett

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Good team. Only thing is a 6 million striker on the bench. Downgrade maybe and upgrade midfield.

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        OK, thanks 🙂

  19. Champions united
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Siggy to DaSilva
    Alonso to rudiger (-4)
    Yes or no

    1. Pinturicchio10
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Awful imo

    2. Touré De Force
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Shouldn't be looking to vet rid of either, both playing really well

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Terrible

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

      one of the worstever transfer suggestions i have seen here

  20. Jealous Viper
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Trippier missing out on a possible haul stings so badly

    1. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      That idea is so nebulous it’s not worth worrying about.

  21. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero taken off with hamstring problem - seen in the tunnel and he has walked past with strapping on it.

    @StuBrennanMEN

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rest up young Kun 🙂

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Panic!

    3. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      So it's finally snapped.

      1. Pocky
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He had a good run....it was due.

    4. french holiday
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      will have good rest during the int break and play 60 mins next gw

    5. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      West Ham are in trouble if he starts with a strap-on

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Average around 50?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      The important average is 57, 48 includes the dead ones.

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Do you get this info off fffix?

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      48.

  23. TerryVenables
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wilson > Jiminez
    Lamela > Martial
    2FT and exact funds so would have to be tonight?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      yes, do it

    2. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      yes

  24. french holiday
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mkhi back from the dead to kill Doherty's points

  25. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Would you still do TAA to Doherty with FT?

    1. KGFC
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Won't if TAA is your only pool defence...

    2. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I’d get Gomez

    3. french holiday
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Robertson is a better pick

  26. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    For anyone watching the game, how is Martial looking?

    Just hope he won't be rotated over the next few

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No way he'll get dropped/rotated on this form.

    2. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Poor in that game but it’s probably an unfair measure of his prospects

  27. DeathoftheParty
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mhki goal costing me 8 points for Doherty... Karma for all the flack I gave him early doors this season...

  28. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Shaqiri one week punt worked fine.
    Now who for him (7.7)?

    1. Gegenpress
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      KEEP

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        You can't be serious. Only way that made me consider him was the fact he didn't travel in CL.

        1. Gegenpress
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Last 4 games in the premier 6 6 1 8..

          Klopp also seems to be prefers playing an attacking player behind the front 3 against teams who sit back. At the moment Shaqs winning the battle vs Lallana to be that guy especially with Ox out too.

          Yeh in the tougher games when he goes for 3 out and out CM's he won't start but I reckon that he'll play 3 of the next 4 (maybe not vs Everton).

    2. Total Slotball
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Felipe Anderson if you can bench him one week.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Shaqiri is a rotation risk.

      Get Martial imo. In form, on pens. Hopefully Pogba will back after the break.

    4. umerlfc
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Richarlison if you don’t have him
      Martial otherwise

  29. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Hopefully Kdb is back soon. I want City mid whos is nailed for every game.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      even KDB isn't guaranteed every game

    2. Touré De Force
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      D Silva is as nailed as they come

      1. AndyCook
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Until KDB returns?

    3. french holiday
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Fernandinho. Takes 2-3 shots per game as well.

  30. RNGD Shobby
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Barkley or Maddison to Martial?

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Barkely 90000000%

      Maddison will be back after the IB most likely. Barkley is generally a terrible pick.

      1. RNGD Shobby
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I knew not to chase the Barkley points.

    2. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I’d do a 2 for 1! Barkley though
