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.

    Sterling or hazard?
    Which is best for the coming games

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

      Prefer Haz on pens too... But ideally both!

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

      Haz

      Gw14 gold

    3. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard

  2. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Keen to pull the trigger on Salah to Martial

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Didnt watched the game. Have bith mane and salah, who should i to ditch first in order to bring sterling ?

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

        Salah... Easy swap and not worth 13 at all! Even after scoring a goal he is not on BAPS!!!

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        i'd remove the more expensive, despite salah playing better

      3. AndyCook
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Depends what you want to do with the extra money. Salah a better points scorer but maybe not by enough if you want to money elsewhere

    2. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn’t do that without using the funds elsewhere. I’d rather have Salah than Martial and 5 million in the bank next week

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Salah has only scored 1 away and Watford are great at home. United home to Palace...and Martial is skyrocketing in price

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

    Sterling needs to be a little respectful.

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

      A few step overs 10 seconds from the end of a game against your bitter rivals to rub salt in the wound is hardly a war crime.
      The red side of Manchester would have been lapping up Ronaldo doing the exact same thing years ago.

  4. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Dsilva for free or Sterling for hit?
    Is in exchange for Mahrez

    1. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Neither I feel are a must have, Silva doesn’t have a high enough goal involvement (15%) and Sterling is a very expensive ticket to the points lottery. On balance though I would have Sterling

  5. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is salah to sterling all right transfer ?

    1. Ahmed Adam
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Salah.

    2. Mr Bird
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Provided you use the extra cash well... the game is about playing the percentages so when you look at the possibilities without Salah, why would you want to keep all of your eggs in one basket??

  6. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which is quicker?

    Waiting for LiveFPL.net to stop crashing or waiting for the official FPL site to update?

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

      I think Ragabolly only has the Top 1 million teams loaded on LiveFPL.net so you'll find no joy there.

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

        Heh-heh, good one!

        I just jinxed it into working anyhoo. Brilliant tool.

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

          😉

          Its better than brilliant!

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I usually refresh up to 5 times and it works

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

      I see you have gone template. Get Richarlison in for Pereyra and Bennett in for Morrison and you will be well set for the next GW IMO.

  7. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Finally the Fabianski/Patricio choice right this time

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

      Fabianski again next GW - for the save pts. Wolves don't keep those CS any more

    2. QUEN

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

        Check out the above site. I believe it is more accurate.

        1. Ne0
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          I just used it for the first time. It probably is.

  9. french holiday

  10. Shoemaker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Any suggestions gents? I'm stuck.

    Fabianski (Hamer)
    Mendy Laporte Alonso Robertson (W-B)
    Salah Hazard Richarlison (Kayal) (Højbjerg)
    Aguero Arnie Wilson

    2 FT & only .2m itb

    Thanks.

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

    Reckon Aguero will inch ahead to 2BP based on winning goal?

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

      Think it's final

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

      Nope

  12. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Martial or richarlison as maddison replacement?

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

      M

    2. Ahmed Adam
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rich

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

      Martial. 9.5m player, under-priced.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        He's 7.5

  13. DAZZ

      1. DAZZ

  15. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years

      Asking for myself

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

        Only if it's for a friend.

      2. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Depends your OR but i think you should be ok

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Above average.

    3. Halftime
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No, sorry

  16. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    thoughts on:

    arnie + brooks >> jimenez + martial (-4)

    or

    arnie to jimenez FT, then hudson odoi to anderson the following week for FT?

    1. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Why on earth are you getting rid of Arnie?

    2. Brian950
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Madness.

  17. Lemongrab
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Well Barkley was a punt that didn't pay off. Best replacement? 1m it thinking Richarlison providing his injury is just a tweak

    1. Halftime
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Good fixture up next, he should be fine after the international break

      1. Lemongrab
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        That's what I'm thinking. I can wait unlikely he or Barkley will go up or down

  18. Steirish
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone know roughly what the score will be to qualify for the cup?

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

      A guess would be 60. High 50's otherwise.

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

        How do I enter the cup?

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

            No mention of qualifying points

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

              Given it was 10 days ago, expected.
              Next article will tell you what score was needed.

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

            cheers TM

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

        after points hit ?

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

      Gutted got 53

  19. DavidKent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Mane out for Sterling? Had Mané since he was 9.5, so will lose points

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

      Lose value*

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

      Do you want Mane all season?

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

        Unsure! Can’t make my mind up. He’s cheap for a premium attacker, but expensive for mid quality occasional return...thoughts?

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

          He's a sell given what's around.

  20. jblakes
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    anyone kicking out Ederson after his two weeks in a row balls up and costing me about 20odd points?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Costed like 8-10 points at most, not 20 odd surely

      1. jblakes
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        it is when you had Mendy also. Would have been two clean sheets

  21. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Is there a members' cup running as well as the scout cup?

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

        Thanks

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

    Is Bernado nailed?

    1. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No-one is nailed under pep especially with Gundogan back

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

        Kun, Ederson, Laporte & Mendy seem so, so far

  23. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Martial skyrocketing on fplstats, looks certain to rise

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

      Expecting a 0.3m rise over the break.

  24. 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, who would you focus on?

  25. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    red arrow predicted with 56 points 🙁 horrible GW

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      That’s good i’d of assumed?

  26. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Need 0.2m to afford Maddison to Martial. Worth a hit to downgrade someone?

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

      Possibly. Depends on your downgrade.

    2. AndyCook
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

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

    Hey guys, got 2 FT

    Currently have Alonso and Mane. Should I switch to Luiz and Salah or keep?

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

      See who gets injured during the break.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Nope.

  28. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero gets a bap?

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

      Yup

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

    Mané to Martial is tempting

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

    Isn’t next week’s captaincy tricky?
    Richarlison or Martial can be great differential captains for those who own them

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

      Aguero easy for me. Martial VC probably.
