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.

      average

  4. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Doherty worth the £0.7m over Bennett?

    1. nisag17
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes by a mile.

    2. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Considering that very move (see below). Doch is definitely worth it imo as you’ll be rotating him on in your starting XI. He has a lot more upside than Bennett.

  5. Riggs
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is Jimenez to replace Glenn Murray worth -4?

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit

  6. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Patricio
    Mendy Alonso TAA
    Salah Hazard Richalison Gudmundsson Fraser
    Aguero Arnie

    Fabianski; Bennett, AWB, Success

    0.9 ITB.

    If I don’t have any injury concerns in the IB, thinking of Bennett -> Docherty. Any other ideas?

  7. Sterling Malory
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Wow, okay then. Not my finest week.

    Big players let me down today...

    Hazard, Mane(C) Sterling, Mendy, Lacazette.

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I also had Mane © Mendy and Hazard. Seeing the positive in Salah's modest haul, though. Could have been much worse!

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

      Unfortunate with Mane and Sterling. Inexplicably played crap this week.

  8. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    For the FFS cup, how on earth can they verify that the team ID's we submit are actually our team?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Forgot about that, was this gw qualification?

      1. BenDavies
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        yes it was

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You want to submit someone else's team?

      1. BenDavies
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        No, but how do they verify it? Someone could easily just post the #1 overall if they wanted.

        1. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          but then when you win it, they'll ask you to verify it is your team somehow and you won't be able to.

        2. Fantastisk
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Good idea...

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sometimes I think about downgrading Salah to Mané, but then I revist Mané's scores across the last 10 GWs:

    10, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 0, 15, 2, 3

    Yuck.

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      ouch! Maybe i ship him next...

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

      Do points per million for both

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        You don’t win on ppm

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Points per million is a bit of a rubbish stat.

  10. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Fraser-> Martial for free?

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    3. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      yes

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      dunno mate 100 FOR 100%.Arsenal defense doesnt look good

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

      Not sure on losing Fraser before Arsenal...

      Any other options to get Tony?

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Rich, Salah, Haz, Gray and Fraser mids. Can´t do Gray to Martial in one transfer.

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

          Tough decision. Not sure what I'd do tbh.

        2. AndyCook
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Be tempted to do Salah to Sterling to get Martial in

          • My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Exactly the same as mine

    6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      TAA to Doherty with FT still?

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        yup

      2. Francescoli
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        TAA is in decent form. I’m holding on to him and considering upgrading Bennett to Doch

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I have Robbo though

          1. Francescoli
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Ok fair enough then

    7. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Saved up 2FTs with the intention of doing Salah/Hughes > Mane/Martial, but is it worth it? Alternative is Hughes/Ings > Camarasa/Jimenez.

      Rui Hamer
      RAM Doherty AWB
      Mo Haz Fraser Rich Hughes
      Kun Ings Arnie

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        none look attractive tbh

    8. Nabs Kebabs

      Just sold Salah for Martial....

      Ryan
      Alonso Mendy Van Dijk Doherty
      Hazard Martial Richarlison
      Kun Arnautovic Wilson

      Button Paterson Hojbjerg Wan-Bissaka 5.9m OR: 2K

        Yikes. Massive cojones

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

          yeah man 😎

      2. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I'm not sure I would have sold Salah over Hazard but it's close with those guys.

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

          need haz for the GW14 captaincy

          1. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Hmm, I don't know about that with that donkey Morata up front. Don't own Hazard though, so may be it's just bias.

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

              Haz can do it all himself...doesn't need to pass it off to morata nor does he need morata to supply him. He's the top scoring aswell...

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

                mid*

              2. fedolefan
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Look you've made your move, so you're bound to get defensive. Just saying, Haz doesn't do it all himself. Giroud is a very underrated assister, so balls played into him, would find it's way back to Hazard via flicks or what not. It kinda hits a dead end with Morata who ends up missing or taking a shot at goal.

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

                  I agree Morata is hopeless...still want Haz C gw14...quite clearly the best option in my eyes.

                  oh and as an arsenal supporter, completely agree with Girouds brilliant link up play

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

        Lacks slightly in mid but it’s good

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

          with 5.9m in the bank you'd expect to be a be light somewhere, no?

                7 years, 6 months ago

                Dead money keeping him. Better off with Wilson or Success as they will match him at least.

                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 6 months ago

                  Success probably loses his place and I reckon I've missed the boat on Wilson at this point. Rondon is an option though.

    11. Tempestic

      How did Wolves look today, particularly Jimenez? Thinking about bringing him in for success.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I suspect everyone was watching the City game

        1. Tempestic
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yeh, I certainly was

        2. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I watched some of the second half and kind of wish I hadn't. Supposedly had the lion's share of good chances in first half and looked super organised, strong defensively and a threat going forward but then tired and got a bit sloppy towards the end. Jim didn't feature much in what I saw as it was all Arsenal posession and the occasional break.

          I'm tempted to swap Ings for Jim and will if he's ruled out.

          1. Syd.
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I would do it regardless

            Jimenez has a few great fixtures coming up

      2 FT, 0.1 ITB. Exact money for Siggy -> Martial (who is rising tonight).

      With Siggy possibly injured and also losing set pieces to Digne I am going pull the trigger and risk an early transfer. Rest of team is set, plan is to bank the other transfer.

      Am I crazy?

        Siggy injured?

      3. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I wouldn't be doing that. id take Siggy, as long as he's fit, and he should be with 2 weeks to recover, over Martial

      4. Francescoli

        Siggy is your captain next week

      Hoping Martial comes off the boil due to the IB period

      Might even pick up a niggle!

        Not nice to wish ill health on players, but I do hope he slows his momentum.

        Nice 22 points

    22. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Early days, but what which of these two moves is better?

      A) Fraser & Barkley >> Martial & 4.5m (-4)
      B) Hold & Save FT

      I will of course be waiting due to the International Break. Team below for reference.

      Patricio
      Alonso / Robertson / Mendy / Doherty
      Salah / Hazard / Richarlison / Fraser
      Aguero / Arnautovic

      Fabianski // AWB / Barkley / Success

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        b surely

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers. I agree. Just Martial cannot stop scoring!

        Fraser is still a good pick and I’d keep

    23. rodog
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Any changes you'd make to this team? 2 FT

      Hart Patricio
      TAA Mendy Alonso Doherty AWB
      Mane Hazard Richarlison Martial Hojbjerg
      Aguero Arnautovic Wilson

    24. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 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..

      1. Ederson + Barkley > Patricio + Richarlison
      2. Ederson + Pererya > Fabianski + Martial
      3. Ederson, Barkley, Success, Salah > Patricio, Martial, Jimenez, Sterling (-8)
      4. Ederson, Barkley, Pererya, Salah > Patricio, Martial, Richarlison, Sterling (-8)

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I would get rid of Barkley, maybe Pereyra as well but I wouldn’t get crazy doing -8s. I would keep Ederson but understand that fab/pat are decent value at 4.5

        1. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          If I focus on Barkley and Pererya I can only get one of Richarlison or Martial as the other would need to be a 4.8 fodder.

          What would you recommend?

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

      Alisson
      Robertson Alonso Mendy Balbuena Bennett
      Barkley Mahrez Anderson Hazard Martial
      Aguero Arnautovic Wilson

      Best move for Mahrez? Going Dilva for free or Sterling (Barkley>kayal) for hit?
