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.

    Salah, Maddison > Sterling, Martial?

      Probably the next one.

      Salah out before Watford? No thanks

      Naah

  2. DAZZ

    Anyone planning a double up on Wolves defenders for the next 2?

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

      No, don’t trust them

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

        Why's that? They're a reliable team at the back IMO, just dont score enough. Im confident of atleast 1 clean sheet in the next 2.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Some people here have Patricio, Doherty and Bennett and still won't triple up.

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm playing pat and doc next week

    4. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes definitely

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

      No chance. They have stopped keeping CS and Hudds are scoring goals now.

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

      I'll be playing both Pat & Doherty.

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

        Im looking to bring Doherty in for TAA, own Patricio.

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

      Nope

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

      Yes I’ll be doubling up

      1. ted mcnure
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Tempted to play Doh and Benny, but it would mean benching Wilson or Fraser..
        I have to play my Cherries, so Benny 1st sub I think.

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

      Yep, Pat and Bennet. Maybe Jimenez as as well...

  3. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Martial.

    Having scored in each of his last five games and with good fixtures coming, does Fraser out for him sound good to you? Money not an issue.

    Or chasing points too late? (Again!)

    1. Mr Bird
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      yep

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He's a good option. His current output is unsustainable and Pogba is on pens but grear fixtures so he'll no doubt get opportunities.

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

      Fraser is the form midfielder this season. He’ll be starting three of the next four fixtures for me.

      Man Utd aren’t playing attacking football, so I imagine Martial’s purple patch won’t last.

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

      decent option but dont expect returns similar to last 5 games

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        You really think Martial won't score 10 games in a row? 😮

      A is good for the next 2.
      Longer term maybe Bennet to a Hammer- Balbuena/Diop..?
      You have a looooong time to wait before you need to do anything though. Yawn.

    2 free transfers.

    Thoughts on:
    A) Kiko —> Bennett
    B) Kiko + Barkley —> Doherty + Paterson
    C) Other

    1. AndyCook
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Seems like swapping dross for dross. Presumably you have a lot of big names or an expensive defence

      • Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I don't know your team so can't offer C.

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

          Fabianski | Stek
          Alonso | Robertson | Mendy | AWB | Kiko
          Hazard | Mane | Mahrez | Richarlison | Barkley
          Aguero | Arnie | Success

      • We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years

        B

      • Francescoli
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Depends on the rest of the team. B isn’t a bad option though.

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

          Team above - thoughts would be much appreciated!

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Madness to keep Barkley for Fulham game?

      1. AndyCook
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No but I wouldn’t be holding much hope of points

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

            Truer words were never said.

            Honestly though. I kind of expect Kovacic to play vs.Tottenham as he is slightly superior defensively. If that happens, Ross will be gunning for a run-out & Fulham (H) is perfect for that.

            I also brought in Barkley two weeks back with the thought that Fulham would be the last fixture of the 'punt'.

            If Tottenham does go how I've described above, I'll probably keep & play. If not - he may leave on an earlier bus.

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

          I think I'll bench him next GW and then play him against Fulham

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

        8425 if ragabolly is correct 🙂

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          How many points are you on?

          1. XabiAlonso

              • 8 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Same here, one hit so far

              1. XabiAlonso
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                Nice several for me

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

        Those wildcarding in gw15 or 16....

        A....kane

        B...no kane

        In your team.....thanks

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Kane can fek off.

          You getting him?

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

            Doesnt seem anywhere near worth the price does he....

            But in theory a beautiful captaincy option thru December.

            Looking at kun lacasette arnie...with mane and hazard on wildcard at moment ...

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

          madness not to if you wc gw15 imo, coming from an arsenal supporter who hates the guy and hasnt owned him this season.

      4. EMERGING STAR
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Popular Maddy replacements have done well.

        Felipe Anderson
        Shaqiri
        Martial

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I went Gudmundsson:(

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

            I like Gudmundsson. Shame about the knock. Hopefully he'll still notch a few points in the coming weeks.

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

        Rich or Doherty for cap next gw? 😀

          B

      6. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Are you selling Mane?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Was actually looking to bring him in

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

            Why's that? Stats not great, return in last few weeks really poor. Personally would rather have Sterling.

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              I'm few transfers away of having Haz-Sterling-Mane-Rich midfield

              1. S.Kuqi
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 6 months ago

                I think Mane will come good eventually

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

                  thats nice mid

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No.

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

            Looking at mane rather than salah when I wildcard

            Think 1 of them is sensible

      7. Dosh
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Which transfer looks best for next week? Or 2 with a hit..

        A. Bennett -> Doherty
        B. Barkley -> Martial
        C. Shaqiri -> Rich/Siggy
        D. Mane -> Sterling

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

          A or C

        2. QUEN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          C

        3. Ibra

            The forward form of Fraser.

            Ticks along very nicely!

            Both of them could be injured by next gw

          Every site I'm looking at Doherty is the player of the match, yet he's not even close to any BAPS. While players like Mendy can be obe of the worst on the pitch and still get top BAPS. System is flawed af.

            What do you suggest to fix it?

            Yeah it's sad. I'd either make it like sky with individual contribution, make it so the top 3 players are each awarded 1 extra point only, or do away with it entirely.

            • 10 Years

            Don't know, no way to make it better and more fair? Then get rid...

          Martial or B Silva?

            B

        10. H-SF
          • 9 Years

          Baps for any of Alonso, Aguero, Salah, Hazard or Robertson?

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years

            Yep.

          Barkley Mahrez Anderson Hazard Martial
          Aguero Arnautovic Wilson

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

          Wow this predictor shows going in the first 16K. Was around 100k after the first Gameweek after Internationals but after the WC 3Rd Gw in a Row a green and going in the first 20K!
          Thanks to all of you mates!
          I dont thank only the person who told me to play Richa and not Kenedy ...lol... just joking 🙂
          We can have advices but the decision is all ours in the end. So btw... to the ones who recognise themselves... please stop the moaning as if somebody else is taking the decisions and not you!

          Have a good night fellow managers 🙂
