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.

    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I've never made my own spreadsheets before, but am interested in doing some betting and wanted to see what story they told. Based on this season's xG data so far, these were my predicted results:

    CAR-BHA 1.47 - 0.85
    HUD-WHU 0.88 - 1.05
    LEI-BUR 2.21 - 0.77
    NEW-BOU 0.61 - 1.65
    SOU-WAT 0.87 - 1.65
    CPA-TOT 0.64 - 1.78
    LIV-FUL 3.77 - 0.48
    CHE-EVE 1.89 - 0.97
    ARS-WOL 0.91 - 1.43
    MCI-MUN 3.79 - 0.81

    Needless to say there were a few surprises.

    The two silvas ticking points nicely under the radar. Good to get one?

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

      Both bargains

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

        Temped by both.

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

      Good ol Bilva got me interested again. Could do Lucas to Martial or Bilva

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Tempted to get Dilva until KDB is back

  9. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    two weeks in a row ederson gives away pen, but not sure if hes been too aggressive or the d in front is to blame?

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

      Its the d

  10. mitre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Wilson -> Jimenez

    I have 2FT and i am pretty happy with my team, thoughts?

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

      No

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

      Yeah, I've done the same.

  11. HD7
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So is there a consensus now if we should downgrade Salah to Mane after this GW?
    Think it makes it even more difficult to decide:
    (+) Salah scored more
    (-) Salah didnt receive even one bap and this for 13m player ...

    If you ask what I would do with the money here is my team:

    Fab
    Mendy Robbo Alonso Duffy
    Salah Richa FAnderson Hazard
    Aguero Arnie

    Subs: Button, Kenedy, Success, WanB

    Salah Kenedy to Mane Martial (-4) and play mostly 3-5-2 in next GWs?

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

      Looks like ignoring them both is the way to go. But that burnley fixture is making me scared

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        naah without both is just clear impulse from today. Next GW they score a brace ... then what 😀

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

    What to do here?

    Patricio (Button)
    RAM TAA (AWB)
    Richarlison Hazard Mane(C) Fraser Sterling
    Wilson (Arnie) (Kamara)

    1 ft, 0.8 itb

    A) TAA to Doherty
    B) Wilson to Jimenez
    C)Mane to Martial/Alli
    D)Save

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

      A but Jonny

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

        Why Jonny?
        I have money Itb

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

          Better value imo, cheaper and just as attacking already scored and assisted like Doherty

    2. The Special Wan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Save

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      D

  13. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Exact cash for the below and Martial rising tonight, pull the trigger?

    Shaw and Fraser to Jonny and Martial for free?

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

      Yes

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No

  14. Bialystrzelec
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I already did Salah to Sterling. Would you do Fraser to Mane as a second part of that move?

    A. Now for -4
    B. Next week
    C. Keep Fraser

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth a hit imo

  15. Goat
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is this a new yellow flag on Rich or did they just not remove it?

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

      It's a new one.

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

      he didn't have one this morning so new I guess

  16. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    No Robbo or TAA is killing me.

    No idea how to get either in though? Any ideas it just ignore?

    Patricio Hamer
    Alonso Mendy Doherty Yedlin AWB
    Salah Mane Hazard Brooks Hojbeg
    Aguero Arnie Jiminez

    0.2 ITB

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

      Salah for Sterling and Yedlin -> TAA

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

        think you could be right. He just gives me a captain choice that is been fairly consistent...but not explosive

    2. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      not worth a hit

    3. Bialystrzelec
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ditch Salah or Mane. It Wilk free up funds

    4. TerryVenables
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mane > Martial

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

        also tempting Terry cheers

  17. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is Laporte and Arnie > Alonso and Jimenez worth a hit ? have the exact money and can't really find another way to get Alonso

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs and Man City in next 4. Really worth a hit?

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

        I would say no but Jimenez have huddersfield and Alonso always looks lethal when I don't own him

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

      No

    3. The Special Wan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No, keep both

    4. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Salah + Duffy ➡ Mane + Alonso

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

        Could be an option

    5. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      nah.alonso not worth it

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Alonso is the man

  18. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Trippier and Richarlison to be fit for GW 13?

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

      Long way to go, but I guess so.

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

      2 weeks away.
      Good chance

  19. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    How bad was Trippier and Richarlison injuries? Likely fit to next GW?

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

      Both not serious. Should be fine

  20. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I am also available for manager meal... is it tasty?

  21. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Already glad I brought Jimenez. He looks somehow fixture proof the way Wolves are playing. Very fun to watch : involved, unselfish, he only needs to be more clinical in front of goal and he will be THE third striker we are all looking for.

  22. TerryVenables
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Why is Wilson being transferred in by loads of people? Do they not look at the fixtures?

    1. internal error

      Why was Barkley being transferred in after playing 90mins on Thursday?

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

        I guess there’s just tons of idiots on here

        1. tafrère
          • 9 Years

          Idiots that bring one of the best fpl option this year ?

            • 13 Years

  23. suddenorgan
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    How bad did Ings injury look? Unsure whether to shift him for Jiminez or hang on for the Fulham game

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

      Dont think its serious. Hughes said he might have tweaked some ligaments behind the knee

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

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

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

  25. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years

    Why doesnt Jonty and Andy post here no more?

    Got exact cash to do Salah + Richarlison >> Mane + Sterling, but will get outprice when Sterling rises tonight.
    Given that Rich has CAR next GW this is more for the long-term.
    Could however just do Salah > Sterling and then Mane after next GW.

    Thoughts?

  30. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    a) Rich -> Martial
    B) Salah/Brooks -> Sterling/Martial
    C) None of these. Hold
