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, 6 months ago

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

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Haz

      Gw14 gold

    3. AndyCook
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hazard

    4. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Keen to pull the trigger on Salah to Martial

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 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, 6 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, 6 months ago

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

        3. AndyCook
            7 years, 6 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

        4. AndyCook
            7 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

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

        5. french holiday
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Sterling needs to be a little respectful.

          1. BoleynWin
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 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.

        6. Pedersen
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. AndyCook
              7 years, 6 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

          2. Jebiga
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Is salah to sterling all right transfer ?

            1. Ahmed Adam
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Keep Salah.

            2. Mr Bird
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 6 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??

            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, 6 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

                Heh-heh, good one!

                I just jinxed it into working anyhoo. Brilliant tool.

              I usually refresh up to 5 times and it works

              • 9 Years
              7 years, 6 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.

          4. tucaoneo
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Finally the Fabianski/Patricio choice right this time

            1. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

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

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

            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
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

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

                • 16 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

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

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

              • 16 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

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

                      Given it was 10 days ago, expected.

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

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

              • 14 Years

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

                • 7 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

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

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

            Is Bernado nailed?

              No-one is nailed under pep especially with Gundogan back

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

            Martial skyrocketing on fplstats, looks certain to rise

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Expecting a 0.3m rise over the break.

            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?

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

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Possibly. Depends on your downgrade.

                Yes

              Hey guys, got 2 FT

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

                See who gets injured during the break.

              2. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Nope.

              Aguero gets a bap?

              1. Over Midwicket
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Yup

            5. Over Midwicket
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Mané to Martial is tempting

            6. umerlfc
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 6 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, 6 months ago

                Aguero easy for me. Martial VC probably.
